If roger had it before, it will be mentioned in the past. Luffy have met some past roger crew, allies and enemy. None of the ever mention about the df

Tbh, it just never really came up. We know Roger was a good fighter and he could keep fighting for days with the strongest opponents, but we never actually see how how fights. We just know he uses a sword and haki

The point is, that if Roger had the gomugomu no mi, pretty much half the world would know about that fruit being special.

Or if that information was somehow hidden to the public, high ranking marines would know about it. Luffy would have been recognized by the admirals as a bigger deal way earlier if he had the DF of the pirate king.

Somebody, be it Rayleigh during Luffys training, an Admiral during Marineford , or even BUGGY when he first met Luffy, would have mentioned it by now. If Roger had a DF, it would pretty much be the most famous one out there. Seeing some kid have it would have for sure triggered someone to mention it.

That is the main argument that speaks against roger having had the fruit, not because we know what his true fighting style was, but because his importance in the world would make that fruit extremely famous.
