User blog comment:Ichigostop/Isn't Shanks supposed to already know where One Piece is and how to get to Raftel?/@comment-3242083-20110131151419

Meanwhile, I believe One Piece isn't just some treasure or special secret. I believe it is just Roger and Whitebeard messing with the world government, constantly reigniting piracy, reigniting peoples will to live freely.

That said, what a coincidence that One Piece is apparently in Raftel, the last Island of the New world. What a coincidence that everyone that tries to reach it has to pass through the old & new world - bound to cause trouble in order to survive. Guess that is why Sengoku cursed Whitebeard's last words, confirming what roger said 22 years ago.
