Let’s not forget that he also has a scar on one of his eyes, much like Zoro, although his eye is now opened. The Dark King may be an epithet relevant to the demon that once used to lurk inside him. We have already blogged about a theory regarding Zoro’s closed eye and the demonic spirit that may be connected to the power of many swordsmen. He could be the Dark King of the underworld. After all, he is a man who has leveraged the opportunity presented in Sabaody for coating, in order to have business for himself. Therefore, in terms of power, we can see that he must be close to Roger.Īnother idea similar to this one is that Rayleigh has his connections to the underworld. This, in fact, implies that Rayleigh, if not for his captain Gol D Roger, could have been the Pirate King as well. It’s used in many fighting/sports manga and anime to describe uncrowned kings. Roger was free to be the outgoing and careless man he was because Rayleigh was there to be the voice of reason for the crew.Īn interesting theory stems from the japanese term Mei Ou which means Dark or Shadow King. He was, in essence, the Dark King so that Roger could be the real King of the Pirates. Let’s remember that he was the one who resolved many confrontations among the Oro Jackson, much like the ones between Shanks and Buggy. The man who handled all the dirty work and the shady stuff behind the scenes.Ĭould it be that Rayleigh was something like that for Roger? Roger was the outgoing and cheerful one(much like Luffy) and Rayleigh the serious one(much like Zoro in personality, however, his role seems more similar to Nami, as far as the Straw Hats are concerned) who handled everything that required handling. The man who wanted to protect the village by any means possible. Danzo, on the other hand, was the head of the village lurking in the shadows. Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Hokage, which means the head of the Leaf Village in Naruto. Any Naruto fans here? Well, I want to remind you of the Hiruzen/Danzo relationship. Some other people believe that he has such a powerful Conqueror’s Haki that he creates an aura around him that is like a black sphere. That means that probably some dumbass low-level marine saw the hardened body of Rayleigh with its haki and called him Dark King because of its color. After all, Zoro is still called pirate hunter. What if he is called Dark King because of his Busoshoku(color of armament) Haki? What I mean by that is that he either possesses extremely powerful Busoshoku Haki or maybe was the one who introduced it(or maybe even both).Īlso, remember that the Marines don’t change the aliases of the people they chase easily. Many ideas could be dropped here, so let’s explore some of the more interesting ones. Remember Gol D Roger and Scopper Gaban as well. He is one of the few people that know the True History of the World and the Void Century.Īnother fascinating piece of trivia is the theme of metals in the names of the Roger Pirates. Not to mention that he has grown old, something that means he was even stronger in his prime. It’s important to note as well that Rayleigh has fought Kizaru equally at Sabaody. Garp also told his Marines that if they were to encounter Rayleigh they were NOT to pursue him.Įven Kizaru stated that if they were to make an attempt to capture him they should make important preparations beforehand. His wife, Shakuyaku stated back in Sabaody that he is 100 times stronger than each of the 11 Supernovas. He has also served as the mentor and trainer of Luffy to haki, during the two-year timeskip. He now is a former pirate(the only former pirate with an active bounty!) who has become a coating mechanic at the Sabaody Archipelago. Silvers Rayleigh was the right hand of the Pirate King Gol D Roger and the first mate of the Roger Pirates(much like what Zoro is to Luffy). We’ll try to explore the reason why he’s referred to as the Dark King. Today we’re gonna talk about Silvers Rayleigh from our favorite anime One Piece.
