I still get chills thinking about that pirate crew from 'One Piece'—it felt like stumbling into a secret chapter of history the first time I read it. The core, named members people always point to are Gol D. Roger himself (the captain), Silvers Rayleigh (the ‘Dark King’ and first mate), Scopper Gaban (a fierce fighter shown in flashbacks), Crocus (the ship’s doctor who later tended the Twin Cape lighthouse), Kozuki Oden (the samurai who sailed with Roger for two years), and the two kids who would become legends themselves: Shanks and Buggy, who were apprentices on Roger’s ship.
Beyond those names, the series teases a lot of other faces and unnamed crewmates in flashbacks and the Laught Tale sequences. Some of them get brief moments—fights, conversations, or reactions to the final voyage—but Eiichiro Oda left a lot purposefully vague. I love that: it keeps the crew feeling enormous and mythic, like an entire lost generation of sailors whose stories ripple through the rest of the world. If you haven’t rewatched those Whitebeard-era flashbacks lately, they’re worth a look for the little background details that hint at how huge that crew really was.

I still get chills thinking about that wild moment when the whole world learned what Gol D. Roger had done. In my head, it plays like a scene from 'One Piece' you pause and stare at—the captain and his crew didn't go burying a conventional treasure chest on some secret beach. They made it to the final island, Laugh Tale, and everything they found or left behind is tied to that place. Roger's execution and his last words—basically handing the world a map made of mystery—sparked the Great Pirate Era, not because he hid one chest but because he left something far bigger for people to chase.
I like to imagine the crew sitting on the decks afterward, laughing about the irony: all the gold and secrets at Laugh Tale, but the real score was the history and the challenge itself. Fans argue about whether bits of the haul were scattered world-wide, or if the Poneglyphs and that final revelation count as the true treasure. Either way, for me the point sticks: the biggest thing Roger left wasn't a buried chest under an X, it was a story waiting to be uncovered at Laugh Tale, and that sparks adventures even now.

I’ve spent way too many late nights skimming wikis and flipping through panels of 'One Piece', so here’s the clean take I usually give friends: a lot of Roger’s crew don’t have clear, on-panel bounties because the World Government deliberately scrubbed records after his execution. That means for many members we simply don’t have an official number.
What is known or commonly accepted: Kozuki Oden — who joined Roger on his final voyage — had a bounty of 1,100,000,000 berries before his execution. Shanks and Buggy, who were apprentices on Roger’s ship, have huge modern bounties (Shanks sits among the very top with billions, and Buggy famously rose into the billions too), but those are their own later-era bounties rather than Roger-era prices. Silvers Rayleigh’s bounty is often cited in databook/fan sources around 2,000,000,000, but it’s not something Oda clearly displayed in the story panels.
For people like Scopper Gaban, Crocus, and several lesser-known members, official bounties are either unrevealed or simply erased in-universe. So short version: a few specific numbers exist (Oden is the clearest canonical one), many are unknown, and some modern bounties you see for Shanks/Buggy/Rayleigh reflect decades of events after Roger’s era rather than rewards placed on them while they sailed under the Pirate King. If you want, I can list all named crew members and mark which bounties are confirmed, unofficial, or unknown — I enjoy digging into that kind of detail.

Seeing a picture of that massive wooden hull still gives me chills — Gol D. Roger and his crew sailed on the ship called 'Oro Jackson'. It was built by the legendary shipwright Tom in 'Water 7', and it's basically the vessel that carried them across the Grand Line all the way to 'Laugh Tale'. I love picturing Rayleigh standing on deck, calm and collected, with the rest of the crew rocking through storms and mysteries.
I still get a little giddy thinking about how many important figures have ties to that voyage: Silvers Rayleigh as first mate, Scopper Gaban, Crocus the ship doctor, and even future legends like Kozuki Oden who joined later. Apprentices like Shanks and Buggy trained aboard too, which makes the ship feel like a crossroads of so many destinies. The fate of 'Oro Jackson' after their final voyage isn't fully explained, and that gap in the story is one of those delicious mysteries that keeps me rereading 'One Piece' panels at midnight.

There’s something cozy about picturing the Oro Jackson cutting through the Grand Line while that motley crew did their thing — I still get chills thinking about their dynamic. At the center was Gol D. Roger himself as captain, the mind and legend who steered the whole journey. Right beside him was Silvers Rayleigh, the first mate — the calm, taught-a-generation-of-pirates type who was basically the crew’s strategist, sparring partner, and moral anchor. Rayleigh was the guy you could trust to read the sea and a fight at the same time.
Other members filled clear, practical roles: Scopper Gaban acted as a top combat officer and frontline fighter, the kind of veteran lieutenant who held the line. Crocus handled medical needs and navigation — he doubled as the ship’s doctor and someone who charted their course, which is why he later settled as a lighthouse keeper. Kozuki Oden was the roaming swordsman and powerhouse, a samurai whose strength and boldness were invaluable. Yasopp served as the marksman/sniper, and the young apprentices Shanks and Buggy were cabin boys who learned the ropes (and would later carve out their own paths). Beyond those names, the Roger crew included a range of specialists and fighters whose exact titles aren’t all spelled out, but together they made the voyage possible — captain, first mate, officers, combatants, doctor/navigator, sniper, and apprentices. It reads like a perfect pirate crew to me, flawed and human and unforgettable.

Man, talking about the flashbacks in 'One Piece' always gets me hyped. The clearest villain fight we actually see is the God Valley incident — that's where Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp teamed up to take down the Rocks Pirates, led by Rocks D. Xebec. That sequence is framed as a huge, history-changing battle; it's the big canonical example of Roger’s crew squaring off with a proper villainous fleet.
Beyond that, things get a bit murkier. The flashbacks and later reveals strongly imply that future Yonko-level threats like Kaido and Big Mom were tied to the Rocks era (Kaido and Charlotte Linlin have links to the old Rocks crew), but the manga/anime doesn't give us tidy, full-on Roger-vs-Kaido or Roger-vs-Big Mom duels in the present flashback panels. In Wano we see Oden and his timeline collide with Kaido, and Roger’s voyages overlap with those events, but the story mostly hints at connections rather than showing five-act fights between Roger and every later villain. So: God Valley (Rocks D. Xebec) is the big explicit villain clash, while Kaido/Big Mom are implied or seen in related flashback strands rather than fully depicted one-on-one fights.

There’s something endlessly cool about how mysterious Roger’s route still feels in 'One Piece'—we get flashes, not a full travel log. From what the manga and flashbacks make explicit, the big confirmed stops are 'Loguetown' (where his story ended), 'Wano Country' (Kozuki Oden joined him there after leaving Kuri), and of course the final destination, 'Laugh Tale'. Those are the anchor points you can point to without stretching facts.
Beyond those, the crew is known to have chased down Poneglyphs and ancient clues across the Grand Line, so they almost certainly hit places like the ruins of 'Shandora' and sky/ancient-city sites that tie into the Void Century. Rayleigh and crew interacted with folks everywhere, so they must’ve set foot on dozens of smaller islands too—most unnamed in the story.
If you love piecing it together, rewatch Oden’s flashbacks and Roger’s scenes: little hints pop up everywhere. It’s part of the charm that we don’t have a neat checklist—just legendary footprints that invite speculation.

I still get goosebumps thinking about how Gol D. Roger’s crew stitched together the trail to the final island in 'One Piece'. They didn’t find the treasure by following a single map—what they did was more like archaeology mixed with old-fashioned pirate stubbornness. They chased stories in taverns, bribed port scholars, and fought their way into libraries and ruins to pry loose fragments of history. A big part of their success was having someone who could actually read the ancient stones: Kozuki Oden. His ability to read poneglyphs turned scattered carvings into directions instead of mere curiosities.
Beyond reading, they used triangulation. Some stones—what we now call Road Poneglyphs—contained coordinates or hints, and Roger’s team collected enough of those clues to triangulate where the final island lay. Layered on top of that were the usual pirate tools: eavesdropping, interrogating captains, trading favors, and surviving brutal seas with fierce Haki and seamanship. The whole thing wasn’t a straight line; it was patient, brutal, clever work—equal parts brains and brawn. Thinking about it makes me want to trace their route on a map and imagine the conversations under dim lanterns where whole pieces of history were finally sewn together.
