ask me anything

I doubt they were there too. They were just kids after all. There's no way Roger took then into the NW. We really don't even know the history of Shanks and Buggy anyway or how they came to join the Roger crew. They might have been orphans that Roger decided to "adopt" for all we know.

I say "adopt" because there have been many comparisons between Luffy and Roger in terms of personality. We all know how Luffy is. He see's someone he likes and flat out asks them to join the crew then and there without second thought. I would LOL if Roger was the same. "Hey you kids, I like your style. Wanna go on a little boat ride with me!"

"Gol D. Roger and his crew are the only known people to have reached the island. Roger offered Whitebeard the information on how to get to Raftel, but Whitebeard declined because of his own goals of achieving a "family" of crew members instead of reaching One Piece. This also indicates that getting to the island is not as simple as sailing to the end of the Grand Line" - one piece wiki .... maybe true

Yeah I agree. imagine getting to skyisland without the help of the two monkeys and the other guy. Just replace "skyisland" with "raftel"

Dagoro

Sky island has nothing on Raftel. Ganfal told the SHs that there is a official entrance to the white sea, and he was surprised that the SHs risked it all by using the knock up stream to get up there.

If Raftel lives up to expectations I expect some alien shit surrounding the island making it nearly impossible to set foot on it.

I don't know specifically, but I got the feeling that Gol D. didn't gain the One Piece after simply 1 tour through the Grand Line, I felt they had multiple trips. Kinda like Shanks and his crew, they seemingly don't have any specific direction. I'd go so far as to say the same for BB, with all of the supposed power he has, one would think that he'd have run to the One Piece over the time the SH's were on they're Time Skip. They're the crew that help'd end WB, the Supernova's without an Alliance wouldn't have even been a threat. I don't think the other Yonkou's would've attempted to stop him either. The make up of his character and crew though is mostly brute strength/power, not a lot of brainwork amongst anybody on the whole crew that I saw.

Additionally I don't the crew will remain the same. At the point they get to the other side, I suspect Brooks' gonna stay there with Laboon. I do still expect Jimbei, possibly Bon Clay, and someone unknown at this time to be with the crew at the final battle.

Wait a minute, off topic, how the crap could Luffy be carrying the mast from the ship when Jimbei shot him in a water burst in front of the 3 Admirals at Marineford. DF users are supposed to lose strength/power/ability in water correct??? Sorry it just jumped in my head outta nowhere.

Gradually (though very fast), not instantaneously. Some are even immune to it. Aokiji for eg(Dude is Ice, he floats when he falls on water)
