User blog comment:Yatanogarasu/Luffy: Reincarnation of Roger?/@comment-2031609-20101104064330

Interesting theory. I'd just like to point out thought that if Roger was in fact reincarnated in Luffy, then neither would be conscious of it. Plus looks wouldn't be passed on, just the personality. The whole Ace connection thing would make sense, save for the whole Roger wouldn't be aware of it. I can see that if it is Roger's soul then Luffy would naturally have chemistry with Ace, but that would be it. If anything, they were probably distant relatives or something like that.
