I would love to have some member of Gold Roger's crew show up and reveal something shocking about the D or Luffy's Grandfather or One Piece or something. Hell, I'd be happy to even know anything about his crew at all. We still know absolutely nothing about the crew that helped make Gold Roger the Pirate King.
Sadly, I would think that the WG would have to have executed Gold Roger's crew. Unless there were some amazing skills that they (WG) could exploit the only reason I can imagine for letting his crew live is the possibility that they might some day spill the beans on One Piece or Pluton or something big like that. But damn would it be cool if they were there.
Thanks normyk, im glad to see another whos lookin forward to findin out more abt Roger. Im sure many of us do. As for whether Roger's crew were all executed.. i personally doubt so.. IMO i believe Roger did a "Robin", he gave up his life so his crew may go free (maybe disbanded and in exile somewhere but at least no longer hunted by WG)

On the other hand, im wondering y if hes still alive.. none of the former crews of Gold Roger's tried to rescue him?
They probably don't know that he's still alive. Besides, Impel Down is not exactly the kind of place that a member of Roger's crew would want to visit.
Tom muz be quite famous or infamous ;p for being caught and branded as the shipwright who made Roger's ship.. Roger's surviving crew shouldve heard of his capture.. thou i agree that they may not know whether hes alive.. however in OP, somehow impt (good) pple r always rescued in the nick of time .. but as this is a back-story.. i have no idea if Tom will be treated the same way
Impel Down sounds like a terrible place, how much of a chance does Roger's crew stand and how far and willing they are to get Tom out.. i cant tell.. but i have a feeling a captain like Luffy will ..
On the other hand, im wondering y if hes still alive.. none of the former crews of Gold Roger's tried to rescue him? Again im assuming some of Roger's crews are still alive and kicking and behave like Luffy's crew (loyalty, faithfulness, doesnt forget others' kindness and generousity etc)
If Tom built Roger's ship and he is to be executed for it.. im quite sure Roger's crew would have done something abt it.. at least try to stop it..

Not necessarily. If they would be like that, why didn´t they try to save Gold Roger then back when he was executed?
[snapback]69577[/snapback]**
u got me there, y didnt they rescue Roger himself? Probably a mil reasons out there …eg. they were caught themselves OR separated & on the run OR Roger had no crew OR (my fave) that Roger told them specifically not to rescue him ..
my impression is that Tom's capture happened yrs after Roger's execution and may have began to stir the fight in some of his former crew (would Dragon be involved in this.. i can only guess) ..
OP is really a crazy world cos these pirates are the "good" guys while some of the supposedly good guys turn out to be bad .. forgive me if i have totally gone off the trail of this topic..
heres my (insane) predictions & thoughts for the rest of this arc and the coming arcs (may have been voiced by others, sorry for any repetitions):
(1) White beard & Red Hat meet and discuss how the WG is close to getting the Ultimate Weapons, maybe will make a pact to gather resistance against WG (including to free captured comrades in Impel Down, contacting Dragon etc)
(2) Luffy & gang is trapped and forced into a corner by CP9 and the marines (i hate this happening and i wan Lucci & gang to get their asses kicked but Luffy is playing on the WG's "home territory" so i say advantage WG)
(3) Spandam exposes himself (not literally) as the bad guy and CP9 turns on him (*others have spoken of this in the forum)
(4) Someone creates a big diversion which allow Strawhats to slip away and fight another day (CP9 gets sacked and goes on welfare heh)
(5) My fave: CP9 whipped and tied up like a sack of potatos, Tom emerges but has been brainwashed to fight for WG, Luffy and gang gets beat up cos they unwilling to hurt Tom and i have no idea how Oda will go on next.. im demented.._
