We also learn more about Roger’s journey and get to meet one important character in “One Piece,” Tom, Roger’s shipwright.

When he was caught by the World Government, Tom said that he was proud that he helped the Pirate King, but that was all, fans never get to know the details of Tom's involvement with Gol D. Roger.
