The Roger Pirates were a seminal pirate crew in One Piece. They are the only crew who have made it across the entirety of the known world, culminating in a final destination at Laugh Tale, where their captain Gol D. Roger claimed the titular One Piece and gained the title of King of the Pirates. His voluntary execution, initially meant to deter piracy, had backfired greatly when his last words included the promise of the legendary treasure if any pirate crew was willing to find it.
