I think he had, because alone with WILL of D power, he cannot win One Piece (whatever it may be)
Also most of his crew members also didn't had DF powers IMO.
But still they fought so many strong pirates, Marines, Navy and so on.

He must be having a DF power but never shown, WHY? What is so much secret about his DF?

Now, well I came up with a theory about his DF.
I think he had Gomu Gomu no Mi powers. Yeah you heard it right. Well, that doesn't mean that I'm saying Gol D Roger (GDR) reincarnated as Luffy (Lol like Naruto)

I'm saying this because there are some things which made me to think about it. I might be wrong as well.
First. It's said that if a DF user dies, the DF grows up somewhere else.
If GDR had DF then his DF must have grown somewhere.
That explains the first chapter

Shanks never intended to sell that DF maybe as he said because it was rare. OR maybe he wanted to preserve it since it was GDR's DF.
Then, what happened? Shanks gave away the Strawhat to Luffy which was also GDR's hat.
Why did he gave it to Luffy? Because luffy said that he will become the Pirate King? I don't think so, most of the kids in that era spouted those words like 100 times I guess so what's special about Luffy.
I think Shanks saw the hope to meet another crazy man like GDR.

I think most of the pirates didn't knew what was GDR's DF powers except the strong ones like Whitebeard etc. Also in the marines as well only some might be knowing about his DF powers.
But I think I see a reason for ODA for not saying that Luffy also had the same DF which GDR had otherwise that would ruin the whole ROMANCE of the story. Most of will say that yes, Luffy will definitely become the Pirate King. But the story is more focused on the WILL of D and not on some DF.

Please share your views.

I dont think he did, i think he was a stronger version of shanks and garp. No df power, a haki beast just like what kirikoe said

Imo he was just a Haki beast. If he did have a DF (which i highly doubt) i doubt it was the same as Luffy's. Look at all the guys Roger knew....

Whitebeard
Shanks
Rayleigh
Garp
Sengoku

Luffy knows all of them and not one of them have even mentioned that Luffy has the same DF as the Pirate King himself.

OP doesn't need any of that reincarnation BS. Plus i doubt Roger would be reincarnated as the grandson of his enemy, brother of his own son etc.

Besides, Roger has been shown wielding a sword and a pistol.

He was only said by Rayleigh to have the power to hear the voice of all things.

Gol D Rogers is Omniscient, he knows all things before entering the battle.

He'll know the weakness of whoever he is fighting, that and he had the ancient weapon as his power.

His king Haki most control sea kings, and destroy everything within his range (physically).

pretty much this. a lot of people are still alive who knew Roger and none of them EVER mentioned that he had DF powers nor that it would have been the Gomu Gomu no Mi. also an infamous pirate like Roger would not have been able to keep his DF power a secret. he was the center of attention, there's no way his opponents wouldn't know if he had DF powers or not.

Shanks was simpy surprised Luffy's arm stretched because he though the DF was still inside the box. Also he gave his hat to Luffy because he put his faith (or bet?) in the next generation.

Why'd he fight his crewmate?

What do you mean? Whitebeard and Roger were rivals, not crewmates.

OT: hard to say really. He hasn't been shown with anything yet... kind of like back in the day when Whitebeard was known as the strongest but we didn't know whether he had an ability or not.

Pirate King=Strongest Kings Haki ever

Gol Roger didn't have a DF in my opinion its too cheap for the Pirate King. I think he conquered everything with his will on the seas and thats what made him so fearsome

he gave his hat because he said the same thing as the captain regarding being free

even when Rayleigh asked him does he think he could conquer the grand line, luffy said he did not want to conquer anything, just wanted to become the pirate king as the king has the most freedom


i think Roger was an exceptional haki beast

Clashing with garp is either you have a paramecia fruit or your a haki master.

I think that he didn't have any, Rayleigh had no df powers and I'm sure he can defeat all the super Novas and vice admirals and possibly some admirals IMO

How is it too cheap for the Pirate King to have a DF when the future Pirate King has a DF? You've basically called Luffy too cheap of a pirate to deserve the title Pirate King.

Lol with Luffy its an exception because he had a lame DF he had to turn beastly and he started from the bottom with it. With Gol D rOger fans would be expecting something instantly OP like the Quake Quake and I want Roger to be different
