This article contains spoilers for One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.
One Piece’s Elbaf arc has been quite a phenomenal read for all the fans of the story, now more so than ever before since the Loki flashback is finally being explored. Ever since the proper introduction of Loki, fans have been crying out for a flashback to understand the character better and to see what shaped him to be the way that he is.
Little did they know that Loki’s past would not just shed more light on his character, but also tie directly into the many legends of the One Piece world, giving the fans glimpses of figures like Rocks D. Xebec. In One Piece chapter 1156, Oda has revealed a legendary pirate crew strong enough to fight the Roger Pirates.
The Roger Pirates Are Among The Strongest In The One Piece World
- Roger’s Crew Started Around 50 Years Ago
- Roger Fought Many Battles With Garp
When it comes to the Roger Pirates, fans know very well that the adventures of this crew began long ago. Around 50 years ago, Roger was still considered a rookie, as mentioned by Brook himself. In the following years, Roger spent time building his crew up, and he certainly created a monstrously powerful group, with figures such as Rayleigh and Gaban by his side. Still, the Roger Pirates were not at their best during the Age of Rocks, and it can be said that they grew stronger over the decade and then truly made the era theirs.

Roger fought many powerful enemies, and as fans know already, he also clashed with Garp on multiple occasions. Roger fought Garp from the beginning to the end of his pirate journey, and the two had unshakeable respect for each other. At the same time, Roger also ended up fighting other legendary pirates, such as Rocks. In One Piece chapter 1156, fans got to see a legendary battle between the Roger Pirates and the Kuja Pirates.
The Kuja Were Strong Enough To Fight The Roger Pirates

- Roger Pirates Wouldn’t Fight To Their Best
One Piece chapter 1156 shocked the fans with the introduction of the Roger Pirates, likely from 44 years ago. Around this time, Roger was a more prominent figure on the seas, and started gaining more relevance. At the same time, Oda went out of his way to tell the fans that the Kuja tribe were also very popular. The Kuja were seen as idols all over the world, and their strength was monstrous.

In fact, they held their own against the Roger Pirates, which is impressive in more ways than one. It is also said that the Roger Pirates couldn’t fight to the best of their abilities and this was all down to the most beautiful of the Kuja Pirates and the one considered to be the most loved of them all, Shakky.
Shakky Was The Strongest Kuja
Based on what Oda revealed, it is clear that even though Shakky wasn’t the captain of the Kuja at this point, she was already the strongest, since the Kuja equate strength with beauty. She was solely responsible for the Roger Pirates not winning, and that truly is special.
