Readers of the One Piece manga are currently looking forward to each new chapter. One of the characters is solving many mysteries surrounding the world of pirates. In chapter 1116, he reveals that there was even a pirate crew that had already figured out all these things. But instead of taking action, “they just laughed,” as mangaka Eiichiro Oda writes.
Be careful, here is an article that deals with the contents of chapter 1116. You will also find out what happened in the previous chapters.
Which pirate group are we talking about? Dr. Vegapunk continues his lecture in Chapter 1116. He reveals that there was a group of pirates who already knew what happened in the Lost Century. They are talking about Pirate King Gol D. Roger and his pirate crew.
Roger has since died, having been executed by the World Government. But other members, such as Vice Captain Silvers Rayleigh and ship’s doctor Krokus, are still alive. They would have had enough time to warn the population of the impending catastrophe. But to this day they have not told anyone what is in store for them.
The Straw Hat Pirates are currently on Egghead Island. Check out the trailer:

The Pirate King already knew that the world was ending
Why didn’t they say anything? Rayleigh also listens to what Dr. Vegapunk tells the world’s population. He is drunk in a bar and thinks that Vegapunk talks too much. The scientist would take away the thrill (or fun, depending on the translation) of the younger generation finding out all this for themselves.
You can read the scene in the following tweet from X-User CJS_POSTS:
The crew probably discovered all these secrets when they landed on Laugh Tale. Joy Boy, the very first pirate, had hidden a treasure there. When Roger and his crew found the treasure, they just laughed, which gave the island its name.
However, it is still unclear what exactly was in this chest. Perhaps we will only find out towards the end of the manga what made Roger and the other pirates laugh.
What did they find out? Dr. Vegapunk reveals that the world is sinking into the ocean. In the Lost Century, for which there are no records, sea levels are said to have risen by 200 meters in 100 years.
One of the ancient weapons is responsible for this. Imu uses the “Mother Flame” as a power source to operate the ancient weapon. With it, it is possible to wipe out entire islands. The consequences of this are sea waves and earthquakes that cause the sea level to rise meter by meter.
If the pirate crew around Gol D. Roger had shared the secret with the world, the world’s population would have been able to prepare for the coming flood. Otherwise, only the pirate crew that found the big treasure next would have been able to solve the mystery.
