In the world One pieceFor the overall story, it is more important than the legendary Gol D. Roger. Since he was the only person in the history that held the title of Pirate King, he reached the level of Nezvama, who has never been seen before, or has been visible since then. Of course, on his way to achieving this legendary award, Roger has made many enemies who are almost as legendary as him.

However, although significantly strong figures such as Kaido or Big Mom were against Roger and were active at about the same time as him, they were not really considered their opponents, because this honor belongs to only three people who are as strong or even stronger than him. In this article, let's go through Roger's main opponents and find out why they were considered to be some of the strongest characters in One piece.

Whitebeard was Roger's greatest enemy in his later years

Legendary rivalry and friendship

In later years of Roger's life, there was only one more pirate who had accumulated as infamous as he was, and it was Whitebeard. For this reason, they were considered the greatest pirates of their respective age and even fought against each other, each of which ended with a heel due to the same power of both legends and their crew. Despite their intensive rivalry Whitebeard and Roger, they shared a unique kind of friendship and had great respect for each other.

How many years it has been, NewGate?

This friendship can be seen in several flashbacks, where Roger is shown to trust Whitebeard enough to give him the real meaning of D. clan and reveal his real dream after their three -day struggle during Oden's flashback, which caused Whiteebeard to laugh aloud. As far as strength is concerned, they are said to be absolutely straight because of their mastery of all Haki, which allows them to clash the same days, which allegedly has happened many times over the decades.

Garp was Roger's opponent who worked for Marines

Long -term rivals

For every remarkable pirate in the world, there must be almost equally powerful naval, the task is to take them off to maintain balance in the world. For Roger, this hostile role was played by Luffy's grandfather, Monkey D. Garp, who acted as a Roger counter in almost all directions, because they were reportedly fought for them over the decades. They can be considered characters that mirror each other because both are purely fighters based in Haki who work on the opposite sides.

We tried to kill dozens. That's why I can trust you because I believe my friends. You have to protect my child!

As with Whitebeard, there was a great respect among them, because it was Roger, who entrusted ESA Garp, although they were sworn rivals who tried to kill many times. There is a popular theory of fans that states that both of these legends could have been friends when they were young, but eventually became sworn rivals because of their contradictory look, as they aged. Many even believe that they were brothers Saké, reflected the fates of Luffy and ESA.

Rocks D. Xebec was Roger's first and greatest opponent

The strongest pirate in history

Of all the rivals they say, Roger had like a pirate during his time, there are no one who is approaching the strength, importance and overall state of the icon as the notorious rocks of D. Xebec, a man who now remembers as the most feared pirate ever exists. The rocks were declared such a terrifying power that the world government felt that his legacy was too dangerous to stay there, which led to them to a large extent throwing him away from the annual history with just a few characters alive from his age who remember him.

The man dies when he is forgotten!

Rocks and Roger are assumed that they share some history that many believe that this is a case of a similar theorized friendship of Roger and Garpa, which would be very interesting if the theory of Brother Saké ended true. As far as power is concerned, it is likely that Rocks was significantly stronger than Roger, because he and Garp had to cooperate to defeat him, not only made him the strongest rival Roger he had ever had, but perhaps even the strongest figure after the age of Joyboy.
