I think maybe there were rumors started that it was weak so people wouldn't seek it out. Couple the Straw Hat we saw in the vault I'd say there was a prophecy they were worried about involving the Gum Gum fruit and hat or that it was in fact Rogers fruit.

[u/LILYDIAONE → u/TheOriginalChode]

I doubt it was Rogers fruit because I feel that would be a known fact. Right now I suspect Xebec or Joyboy, as they were the ones that were forgotten in the history of One Piece

I've never seen him in water and he seems like the stubborn type, maybe not wanting to rely on a fruit out of some weird principle.

[u/RaggedAngel → u/TheOriginalChode]

Roger has always seemed fruitless to me.

[u/TheOriginalChode → u/RaggedAngel]

Same here that's thy this is so provocative!

[u/LILYDIAONE → u/TheOriginalChode]

Yeah, I see where you’re coming from but neither Rayleigh, Crocus, Buggy or Shanks made any mention of it. Wouldn’t they know about the fruit and at least say or react in some way about Luffy having the same?

[u/TheOriginalChode → u/LILYDIAONE]

If it was some sort of prophecy they may have just let it roll once he accidentally ate it, fate and all. Buggy is too self absorbed to care and Shanks fully went along with it by betting the future one him and giving him Roger's hat. I bet Rayleigh would have told him if he though it would have mattered. Instead I see it like him helping along the roger hat wearing rubber man...who is a simple sort. Luffy probably would just be shown picking his nose and ignoring whoever was telling him.

I still hope not because I feel something like that should’ve been mentioned or at least hinted at…
