Roger and the power of reincarnation

[ahill1]

Some people speculate that Roger had the power of reincarnating his soul into a new body. Seems like one of these crazy theories, but some statements seem to still keep it up alive. Gold D. Roger stated for Rayleigh that he won't die:

Might be just a way of saying that the spirit of the pirates will be still up, but we also have Whitebeard stating that the man Roger was waiting wasn't teech... And many other characters do state that they get a Roger's vibe coming from Luffy.

What do you think? Could Luffy be Roger reincarnated?

It's most likely inherited will rather than full on reincarnation, considering how important of a theme it is in the series and other characters have aspects related to older characters that aren't even dead. That, and most beliefs in reincarnation generally dictate that someone's soul is reincarnated immediately upon death, whereas there's a solid 3 year difference between Roger's death and Luffy's birth.
