【Pirate Forces Before the 「Roger Generation」】
About 40 years ago, before Roger was recognized for his abilities, a pirate named Rocks was the king of the sea. Although they have many talented people on their ship, starting with Rocks himself, the crew disbanded due a certain incident which give Garp his title “Hero of the Marines”.
【Roger Generation: about 40 yrs ~ 25 yrs ago】
A generation where pirates such as Roger, who later became the “Pirate King”, and his rival “Whitebeard” were active. Due to the Roger Pirates being a group made of small number of elites, and Roger himself wasn’t interested in ruling either, it’s a time where different great powers fought for supremacy.
【Great Pirate Generation: 24 yrs ~ 3 yrs ago】
Although it was sometimes after that people called the era Roger’s words brought forth the Great Pirate Era, but those who already stand out during this time were the Great Pirate Generation. Even now, the “Four Emperors”, “Royal Warlords of the Sea” etc, many of them still hold power.
【Worst Generation: 2 yrs ago ~ now】
It was about two years ago, when pirates who can threaten the position of the important figures of the Great Pirate Generation start to appear. Those that had been addressed as the “Eleven Supernovas” continued to grow after the Summit War, and now people call them the “Worst Generation”.
【The Current “Supernovas”】
There’re still pirates who’re being called “Supernovas”. One of them is “Wet-Haired Caribou”, who’s in the same crew as his younger brother. Another is “Man-Eater Bartolomeo” who joined the Strawhat Grand Fleet.
