* Bring Down the House: Due to Joe D. Rogans expansive mastery of his fruit he coined a new technique where he would use Gekishin to shatter the ground entirely downwards. It would cause landmass and buildings to fly in the sky and shake the ground enough to cause even giants to lose footing.

### History

#### Childhood

Joe D. Rogan was born in the West Blue on 1569 and would be discarded in a dumpster soon after. Even in death he never knew his true parents. He would later be found and adopted by a poor fishman named Riccie. His adopted father would spoil him but made it clear he wanted Joe D. Rogan to grow up to be a good man and to only pursue freedom and his own happiness, all else should come second. Joe D. Rogan would continue to follow this philosophy far into his adulthood.

Joe D. Rogan couldn't attend schools due to his fathers lack of money but would be taught botany and how to live on the seas from his father. His father was sailor for the Marines. However, one day at the age of 14, Joe D. Rogan would receive news from a chore boy of the Marines that his father died in action under siege from a pirate vessel. This news would pave the way for Joe D. Rogan to eventually sign as a part of the marines under former Fleet Admiral Hajimer.

#### Marine Involvement

He signed up as a recruit and rose the ranks fast. By the time he was 17 he was already a Vice-Admiral. However, there was a very important moment in his career as a Marine that made him switch sides entirely.

On a patrol with a fellow Vice-Admiral he was given orders from a different Admiral to investigate an island that had high pirate activity. Joe D. Rogan docked on the South Blue island of Cornerman Island. He would find there were already multiple Marine vessels docked nearby. He had his crew ready to fight incase a battle had been underway. But after entering one of the cities he found it was a hub of corruption between the Marines and pirates. It was filled with large name pirates giving bribes to the Marines and the Marines paying off pirates to deal with insubordination issues.

He overheard a very important story of a Vice-Admiral paying off a pirate crew to dock another Vice-Admirals ship over a quarrel. This leading to the death of everyone on the ship. The same ship was described as the exact ship that his father Riccie was killed on. He knew he couldn't interject as other Marines were there, but he called into Marineford and alerted some of the Vice-Admirals he was friends with and sent in an incident report to the Admirals detailing what was happening on Cornerman Island as well as a resignation letter.

#### The Birth of the Rogan Pirates

Following the incident at Cornerman Island; Joe D. Rogan was incredibly disappointed in the Marines, and by extension, the World Government as a whole. He would blow the whistle about it to lower enlisted and most deserted in disgust of the corruption in the Marines.

Joe D. Rogan decided to join Pironia as a means to directly appose the Marines and to avenge his deceased father. He and some of the lower enlisted formed the Rogan Pirates. A small upstart in the North Sea. Together they stole a marine galleon and set sail to the West Sea to begin his journey into Pironia.

##### Vice Admiral Phile Quarrel

The Vice Admiral, Dondas D. Phile was renowned as a legendary Vice Admiral and toted as the "Hero of The Marines". the Rogan Pirates' stopped at an island known as Foundry Island. A hotspot for industrial machinery which was being investigated by Marines for possible corruption ties.

Rogan would enter the island and fight everyone in it as to try and conquer it. He was mostly successful until one of the surviving Marines phoned the very close base G-6. Vice Admiral Phile, who had already had many accolades, would sail to the island with 3 squads and once docked immediately took siege against the Rogan Pirates. It was a massive defeat to the marines as noone other than Vice Admiral Phile could do much. Eventually all 3 squads were wiped out leaving the damaged Vice Admiral Phile to fend for himself.

He eventually made an incredibly bold decision that would have considered him a terrorist. He went to the main reactor of Foundry Island and had it overheat to the point of a nuclear disaster, marking his final radio transmission (and words), "The Rogan situation is dealt with. Tell my family that their hero is proud of them." before having the island blown to bits, eradicating all of the marines and almost every last member of the Rogan pirates. The entire island itself had been fragmented and even sunk. Joe D. Rogan was one of the only survivors but he was almost gravely injured.

#### Piracy and The Xenom

The Rogan Pirates were an incredibly successful crew that would launch into the limelight incredibly quickly considering their immensurable strength and superior battle tactics compared to nearly every other pirate due to Joe D. Rogan being a former Vice-Admiral of the Marines. By the new year of 1600 their total bounty was already $4,000,000,000 total. However, they would be raided by a Marine ship leaving their trusty Marine vessel in ruin. Theo D. Von would eventually contact the legendary shipwright Buil D. Fucking Ship through an incredibly lengthy pipeline. With all the spoils they had at the time; Joe D. Rogan and Theo D. Von would contract Buil D. Fucking Ship with a blank check to make the perfect ship for only the best pirates.

After an entire 3 years had passed, Joe D. Rogan would be contacted anonymously by Buil D. Fucking Ship that their ship was finished. He named it the Xenom. which was taken from an anti-matter beam that was installed in the ship. It was incredibly experimental but had the power to destroy an entire island. The ship was massive, almost the size of an island in and of itself.

#### Introduction of Theo D. Von

The Rogan Pirates set sail for the island under Von Pirates control, Covingtonanna following the news of a new upstart in Pironia similar to Joe D. Rogan. Joe D. Rogan and the Rogan Pirates would dock in the year 1621 and as the pirate Theo D. Von is famous for always being under the influence in some form (meth) he would eventually target Rogan beginning a conflict. They would fight eachother but the Rogan Pirates would soon rise victorious. This would force Theo D. Von to arrive and deal with the conflict himself. However, Joe D. Rogan managed to calm the Captain and explain that he only came to learn of his father. He would also tell him about the how he is now a pirate.
Theo D. Von would tell Joe D. Rogan about his father willingly as he was told by Riccie that he had a son whom he wanted to be strong and independent. Eventually Theo D. Von decided to join the Rogan Pirates especially since his entire crew was taken down by the Rogan Pirates so he had no real other choice.

#### Marine Quarrel and Block

Joe D. Rogan would face many fights against the marines, most famously the War Against Joe D. Rogan of 1610 where he fought with Marineford directly and nearly ended the marines as a whole. But he would end up making a very odd Era in Pironia's history. Joe D. Rogan was good friends with former Fleet Admiral Block, famed for his reign with absolute justice for peace and being able to motivate just about anyone in battle. Even in cases making enemies turn to friends.

Joe D. Rogan would find his form of justice incredibly admirable and block would acknowledge Joe D. Rogan's strength and admiration for justice as well.

#### Death of Joe D. Rogan

On July 12th 1656 Joe D. Rogan felt his chest feel light and was treated temporarily by his ships doctor, Dale D. Heart. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with the ill pirate king but Joe D. Rogan had known what was the issue. His Kenbunshoku haki is renowned for being so refined that it can see years into the future, long prior Joe D. Rogan had been training his haki and had seen his own death from what was pronounced as stomach cancer.

Joe D. Rogan had revealed these details and decided to begin his parting wishes. He had written a plea to the Marines to pardon his entire crew at the cost of his own incarceration whether dead or alive. The World Government had accepted his plea asking for him to appear in Marineford. Joe D. Rogan then began preparing for his death. He would eventually fall continually ill until he was eventually pronounced dead September 20th, 1656 in what many believed to be the "Cross Sea" or the point where all 4 seas meet in the middle.

The crew, unwilling to give his body to the Marines, had placed all the treasure they had on the ship and the left it to sink in the sea.

### Legacy

On December 1st, the remaining Rogan Pirates docked onto Marineford to deliver the news of the dead Joe D. Rogan.

On that day, history was marked as this speech began the "Next Great Pirate Era". Theo D. Von would head the speech and end it stating, "The body of Rogan is out there, and with him lies his life long work. He wished for only the strongest pirates to be under him. Find his treasure and prove his legacy of strength lives on. Never forget who was truly the best. JOE D. ROGAN."

Since then piracy has boomed leading to the advent of new and massive pirates, pirate crews, and more rivals for the Marines to battle.
