Duval beat up the leader of the Hound Pets, Peterman and dropped off the Straw Hat Pirates.

To Luffy's surprise, Rayleigh tells them that he was the Vice-Captain for the Roger Pirates, under Gol D. Roger. Rayleigh tells them the story of the Roger Pirates, and reveals that they were never caught by the Marines but that Roger gave himself up. Rayleigh also reveals that 4 years prior to Roger's death, the Pirate King had a terrible illness. Rayleigh states that Crocus sailed with them, as a doctor, keeping an eye on Roger's health. Crocus is a name the Straw Hats are familiar with as he is the person at the Twin Capes at the start of the Grand Line. Brook is most familiar as he entrusted his pet whale, Laboon with Crocus. Rayleigh says that Crocus only joined the Roger Pirates as he was looking for another pirate crew, the Rumbar Pirates, Brook's crew. Even though Crocus only stayed on with the Roger Pirates for 3 years, he is still considered a nakama by Rayleigh.

Rayleigh starts to talk about Roger, how he was always happy and like flashy things like parties or battles. Then, Roger ordered that the Roger Pirates disband, which they did. After one year of disbanding Roger handed himself in, was taken to his hometown, Loguetown in the East Blue, where he was executed. Rayleigh says that the last words spoken to him by Roger himself was: 'I won't die. Partner.'. Then Rayleigh says that his execution was supposed to be a warning to other pirates in the world but his death sparked the Great Pirate Age. Rayleigh says that the only people that can form the Pirate Age is actually the people living in it. He also states that Shanks was in the plaza, as was Buggy. It turns out that Shanks had spoken to Rayleigh about Luffy.
