Gol D. Roger was stronger than the rocks and Oda already explained how

This article contains spoilers from Elbaf One Piece.

One piece Elbaf Arc has been absolutely phenomenal so far, and right now is a particularly exciting time to be a fan, because ODA finally gives fans a good look at the legendary Rocks D. Xebec. Very little was known about the rock until now in the story, but the fans knew that Roger and Rocks had a very wild rivalry.

One Piece: ODA has finally confirmed the role of Blackbeard's end game and could be stronger than Imu

IMU is strong, but Blackbeard could have more potential in one piece.

While most fans consider Rocks D. Xebec stronger than Roger, One piece Chapter 1155 reveals a great truth that actually changes their rivalry and shows that Roger was stronger, or at least straight as the Rocks of D. Xebec.

Roger and Rocks had a hard rivalry

Rocks and Roger clashed 39 years ago
Rocks and Roger fought again 38 years ago

When D. Xebec rocks were first introduced One pieceThe fans were immediately told that he had wild rivalry with Roger. In fact, Sengoku openly said that of all the people who fought, D. Xebec rocks were his greatest opponent, and that is, the rocks were a greater threat to him than even Garp and Whiteebeard he often fought with.

Wait, rocks! It's been a year since. Do you know how I felt all the time? – Roger to Rocks

In the arc of Eggead, it was strongly indicated that Gol D. Roger fought annually before the God's incident. What exactly happened 39 years ago remains unknown, but Roger persisted poorly feelings of the previous meeting, suggesting that he could lose with stones on that day.

A year later they met again at God Valley, and here the rocks fell. This was made possible thanks to the efforts to cooperate Roger and Garp, but what exactly happened is not known.

Roger is considered to be weaker, but in fact it is at the same level as the rocks

Roger learned new skills after fighting D. Xebec Rock

Naturally, when they heard that Roger and Garp had joined to beat the rocks, most fans assume that the rocks were stronger. To be clear, it's not quite bad. In fact, the God Valley Skály was summarized during the incident. But Roger actually continued to strengthen himself and eventually overcome the rocks.

The biggest indicator of this is Rocks' sword. IN One piece Chapter 1155, it is clear that Rocks' Sherry is in fact very unique. It does not use its sword to cut or plan. Instead, he uses his blade for dull damage, and his enemies look as if they are hit by a hammer.

Rocks's sword was renowned for causing dull damage as if it were hit by a giant hammer or a gun of cannon. – the narrator on the rocks

For those who do not remember, it is exactly the same technique as Roger used. Fans are already told that Rocks was famous, which means he invented it. Roger, who uses it, means that he actually stole the rocks and learned it at some point. At a time when Roger vs Whitebeard, Roger actually managed this blunt sword technique, which is proof of the fact that after the fall of the rock, stronger.
