This theory have been around for many years saying that roger have the exact same devil fruit as luffy. The base of this theory is that after Roger become the king of the pirates and being executed the devil fruit reincarnated and given to Shanks. Then, Shanks met Luffy 12 years ago in Foosha Village and Luffy accidentally ate the Gomu Gomu No mi, gained its power and become the Rubber human same as The pirate king, Gol D Roger.
It seems logical but there are three problem that exist with this theory and I will explained it one by one
1. Someone should have hinted about it
Gol D Roger is the King of Pirates and being involved with many encounter with marines and even the Pirates. We barely seen scene with him, the most that we can get is from the Battle of Edd war against Shiki and the scene with Whitebeard. Other than that, we rarely seen him fighting.
Roger been involved with Garp, Tsuru, Sengoku, Whitebeard, the Gorosei, Big Mom and even Akainu and Kizaru is in their 30 when Roger chaos havoc in one piece world. These people might seen how roger fight and being involved with him many times but there is none of them even mentioned or hinted about it.
Luffy being involved in Marineford Arc, caught attention to the world government and nobody hinted about Luffy devil Fruit being the same as Roger. They didnt need to mention it out loud, a slight hint is enough but there is any hint at all. They are not even suprised to see Luffy fighting style.
One other thing is that Buggy and Rayleigh are in Roger Pirates. Buggy was introduced early in One Piece and being in Roger ship he surely must have seen how roger fight and he didnt even suprised after seeing Luffy Gomu Gomu No mi.Rayleigh is the right hand of Roger, he know Roger too well and know all about him. He saw firsthand Luffy using Gomu Gomu No Mi and not a single comment about it.
Even if Oda wants to make Luffy have the same devil Fruit as Roger, he should at least mention it in inner dialogue or an exclamation mark or a suprised face when Luffy demonstrates his Devil Fruit power. The thing is, we got none of it.
2. Devil Fruit Reincarnation
After the new world, we have been told that Devil Fruit will reincarnate after the user dies and turn into the nearest fruit. The example can be seen in the punk hazard after Smiley dies and the Devil Fruit reincarnated into the nearest Apple.
As we know, Roger die from an execution. He publicly executed in Loguetown and the thing about this is that after Roger death, World Government didnt even bother finding his Devil Fruit, instead spent years to search for Rogers Son.
If they knew that Gomu Gomu No Mi is dangerous they should prepare to intercept the devil fruit reincarnation like how Blackbeard has done. The reason why Blackbeard getting Gura Gura no Mi after whitebeard death isthat he knew what kind of Fruit the Gura Gura no Mi will transform and prepare a fruit near Whitebeard after his death.
You see, Devil Fruit comes with a different fruit for example Buggy Devil fruit is in form of Pineapple so if Buggy dies his devil Fruit will reincarnate to the nearest Pineapple. If the Government really wanted the Pirate King Devil Fruit they should prepare to intercept its reincarnation but they are not doing anything like it because Roger have no Devil Fruit at all.
3. Luffy similarities with Gol D Roger
One of the thing that I think why people invest in this theory is that Luffy many similarities with Roger. Luffy did have similarities with Roger however, having a Devil Fruit is none of it. We already get all the connection that we wanted. Luffy strawhat is from shanks given by
Gol D Roger, Luffy ability to hear the voice of all things, same as Roger. Luffy attitude and determination same as Roger.
We already got all of that similarities but having a same Devil Fruit is none of it. Think about it, Luffy have been causing chaos to marines and World Government. In fact, Luffy have been mentioned several times by the Gorosei and Marines. The fact that Luffy is mentioned is that he is the Son Of Monkey D Dragon, the leader of the revolutionaries not because he is having the same devil Fruit as Roger.
Roger is a big deal for the marines and World Government. Even after his death, World Government still fears what impact did he bring to the pirates world. The poneglyph for example. The government go all the length to kill people that can read the poneglyph because Roger can. The Marines searches for his son after roger being executed, Portgas
d Rouge have to hold ace for 20 months to not being discovered by the Marines.
It shows that anything Roger related is serious to World Government it applies to his Devil Fruit. Luffy showing Gomu-gomu No Mi to the world and they didnt go such length for Luffy. This clearly shows that Roger is not the previous user of Gomu Gomu No Mi and he didnt have anything to do with Devil Fruit.
