There are very few characters in One Piece who inspire the same amount of loyalty and admiration as the only man to ever hold the mantle of the Pirate King; Gol D. Roger. Not only was he the first and only one to be called this, but it was directly due to his rousing speech at his execution that started the Golden Age of Piracy, so that one person could eventually reach his status, find the legendary treasure, and save the world.
