Gol D. Roger was the Pirate King, the man who owned everything. The one man who conquered the Grand Line. His last words ignited the first Great Pirate Era
Tale of the Pirate King
Gol D. Roger was the man who became the first great Pirate King. He was born on the island Loguetown in the East Blue. He was the first to conquer the Grand Line by reaching the final island Raftel. In so doing also discovered the secret of the world's missing history through the Rio Poneglyph.True Name
The World Government actually created the name of "Gold Roger" for the man who was known as the King of the Pirates. This is actually not his true name. Oddly enough, his true real name is Gol D. Roger.4 More Years
Unknown to most of the world. Gol Roger was suffering from an incurable illness for the last four years of his life. To alleviate his pain the crew took on a doctor from the Twin Peeks of Reverse Mountain, Crocus. He joined Roger's crew to look for a pirate crew that had left a whale Laboon in his care and had yet to return. 
He was quickly arrested, but the World Government made claims that they had captured Roger and his whole crew. While in captivity he talked in secret with the marine hero that had been chasing him for years, Monkey D. Garp. He had actually had a favor to ask of his captor. It was to save the life of his yet to be born son. The World Government and Marines were hunting her down to kill her and any offspring Roger had. Though Garp refused openly. He did save the mother and child. Roger's son was named Ace. His mother died soon after the birth. Garp took the child in as his own blood.
Before the blades of his executioners were ready to fall upon him, someone in the crowd shouted to know where did he hide his greatest treasure, One Piece. Still smiling, Gol Roger gave his final words.
" My treasure? If you want it, you can have it! Find It!
I left everything this world has to offer 'there'! "Gol D. Roger
The swords fell, the great Pirate King was dead, but that great, proud smile remained. Rather then his death scaring off the dreams of piracy in the world. Roger's last words was the cause of what would be know as The Great Pirate Era.
The Will of D.
There is a yet unexplained connection to those who hold the middle initial of "D". Gol D. Roger had explained it to his pirate rival Whitebeard.
