Gol D. Roger! Is he a devil fruit user or...?

[Auchhior]

He was most probably not a Devil Fruit user, otherwise it would be a major fact spread along with his legend, and if the King of Pirates was a Devil Fruit user, the of course everyone else would think a Devil Fruit would get them closer to the title of Pirate King.

His power, which was the hear the voice of all things was most likely his natural inherent extremely strong haki, aided by his crazy training which raised it to a much higher level.

I think there is a slight possibility that Gol D Roger might be a devil fruit user. If his strength is at par or should I say greater than Whitebeard and Shiki who are both devil fruit users of the strongest type [Gura Gura No Mi and Fuwa Fuwa No Mi respectively] and both are at their prime during Roger's era, then the 'Pirate King' must have something more, aside from his unique ability to hear everything, that could surpass such legends like Whitebeard and Shiki. Who knows he might have the ability to control water. :D

well by hearing everything Reyligh might mentioned about using HAKI ............

Later which Luffy masters taught by Reyligh...........

[D_eidara]

well not much is known about roger but im guessing he extremely crazy amounts of Haki. it could be like Haki 'Gear Second'; being able to hear everything. as for whether or not he has DF powers im very doubtful on that. but i still can't believe that luffy didn't ask what type of powers the pirate king had to Rayleigh. anyway on the execution platform it's shown that he isn't wearing any seastone cuffs, this could be because they weren't invented, or roger hadn't any DF powers. then again roger DID hand himself in willingly so maybe the marines didn't feel as though seastone cuffs were necessary but that doesn't really sound marine-like....

Those you bear the name of D. protect the tree where all the devil-fruit originated from. Yggdrasil.

Didn't know that but sounds awesome. As far as Roger goes with being a DF user I do believe he is one, as there is a limit with haki on things you can feel aka living things that move but that stone where Rayleigh mentioned to Robin I believe you would need to be a DF user to that extend to hear the message from the stone.

I totally made it up... but It's a guess, whatevz.
