“ In the last moment of his life, he
turned his fading "flame of life" into a huge fire that enveloped the
world. I've never laughed more than on that day...!! I've never cried more than
on that day... I've never drank more either..!! He was our captain... and he
was a magnificent man...!!! ”
In the final days of Roger's reign, he had attained more
wealth, power, and fame than anyone could imagine. Though now known as the
Pirate King, Roger was well-aware of his own mortality. As if seeing the end,
he disbanded his crew in secret. Before his death, he told Rayleigh he would
not die. He also informed Whitebeard that he was going to die before his
execution. Whether he was referring to his illness or him giving up to the
Marines, is unknown. Here, he also informs Whitebeard of the meaning of the
people carrying the Will of the D. Also, someday he met Portgas D. Rouge, a
woman living in Baterilla, that would later become the mother of his son, Ace.
Roger then turned himself into the Marines and scheduled to be excecuted. While
in prison, he asked of Garp to take care of his son when he was gone, saying
that an infant child should not be labeled a criminal for his family ties.
Although Garp said he had no obligation to do so, Roger knew he would do it
anyway.

Loguetown.
Thinking they would make an example of him to prevent others
from becoming pirates, they immediately set up his execution in Loguetown. But
as he was about to die, Roger yelled out his famous last words. The swords of
the executioners fell and the greatest pirate of them all died. This was
thought to of been a warning to all and extinguish the hopes of all pirates,
but it failed. The last words of Gold Roger ignited the excitement of the
world, and thus began "The Great Age of Pirates", dubbed by a few
characters as the "Age of Dreams". The echoes of his influence
resonate further into the current era, and shape most of the world after his
death. As far as directly influencing major contenders, those known to be
present at his execution include his apprentices Shanks and Buggy; the
Shichibukai Crocodile, Donquixote Doflamingo, Hawk Eyes Mihawk, and Gecko
Moria; the revolutionary Monkey D. Dragon; and it can be assumed from their
conversation with Shiki that Monkey D. Garp and former Fleet Admiral Sengoku
attended as well. Twenty two years after his execution, as Whitebeard was about
to die, he revealed to the world that Roger's treasure, One Piece, is real and
inferred the consequences of what would happen once it was discovered. This
triggered the New Age of Pirates to be created out of Roger's legendary
treasure.
