Gold Roger's path in the grand line

hyper_megaman

I'm thinking.. Gol probably took luffy's path, seeing as how skypiea was considered PART of luffy's route by the log pose, and how gol left his writings in there. not to mention the increasing numbers of people along this route showing their knowing of gol personally.

i certainly don't see any point in gol returning to the grand line and taking another route, i mean why go through months of travelling again? if he made it through the GL all the way to raftel, it's probably just one line imho, a line he got familiar with.

doesn't this mean at any point in the story, luffy travelling down this (according to my theory) same route as gol did could prove to be a big part of the storyline of OP? like discovering things bit by bit as he went through the islands, and only realising how they linked up some time in the future

any theories/followups?

it's not really true because of eternal posts. Roger was on this path when he went to Skypia, but that doesn't mean he start on it, or stay on it. and Luffy can also take another one any time he find an eternal post.

hyper_megaman

true, but considering the growing number of people who appear to know him along this route, i'd say eternal post or not, he definitely spent a lot of time here

We only saw a reference in Skypiea, no?
From how Igaram said it on Whiskey Peak, we can say the SH stayed on their path. But, Roger could have gotten an Eternal Pose to a famous country. It could be that his path had Jaya and he just got to Skypiea, but going back to Jaya afterwards. We're really really low on clues, you can't say anything about it.

There's no definite evidence that Luffy stayed on his original path.
For starters, they were on Little Garden where the log takes 1 year to set, they got an Eternal Pose to Arabasta and took off to help Vivi. They luckily arrived at Drum and could have easily crossed paths. From there they took the Eternal Pose to Arabasta, and could have cross over again.

I'd be more inclined to believe that Roger travelled all the paths. He was established as the Pirate King, and i doubt there's anyone on the sea period that didn't know who he was. As for those who met him, we don't know, but i would assume in order to truely conquer the GL, Roger would have traversed each path just for the hell of it.

Didn't Igaram say that Alabasta is on their path in Whiskey Peak? Right before he set sail with the Eternal Pose.. That should undo all the messes that happened in the middle right?
Or it could be that my memory is screwing me.

@stephen's:

Igaram: It never forgets the magnetic location of the one location it is set to. In other words, this "Eternal Pose" will eternally
point the way to the island it marks. And this is one set to Alabasta. Understand, princess Vivi? While I am disguised as you,
I have these three dummies to represent them, and I will set a course directly to Alabasta. While the Baroque Works agents are
following me, you and them shall get on your ship and take the normal course to Alabasta. I have never done it myself, but I am
sure you can follow the "Log" two or three times to get there. Travel safely… we shall meet at our homeland.

I stand corrected, and a bit disappointed now :sad:

Didnt it say that Gold Roger was the one man to travel the entire grandline.. I had always just thought that he went to mostly every single island

I think that the meaning of "the only man who travelled the entire Grand Line" is rather a comment saying that he was the only one travelling the entire Grand Line in the sense that he reached Raftel.

But I could be wrong.
