and so on
then Gol D. Roger said
"my treasure?"
"if you want it, i'll let you have it"
"go look for it"
"i left all of it at that place!"

well here is my thought about this scene
could it be Gol D. Roger is just playing around with the people, i mean Gol D. Roger said "i left all of it at that place!" and then everyone jump to conclusion thinking Gol D. Roger referring it to the Grand Line cause someone in the crowd before his death yell out "its somewhere on the Grand Line, isnt it?" All we know Gol D. Roger could just leading everyone in a wild goose chase, where there is no such thing is One Piece nor its not in the Grand Line. and If there is, it doesnt have to be in the Grand Line cause we all assumeing that when Gol D. Roger said "i left all of it at ""that place""!" he means Grand Line.

my questions is, could One Piece be somewhere else other than the Grand Line and what is the treasure(all we know is, it is called One Piece and its Gol D. Roger's treasure. this mean it could be anything)?

please discuss
I think you put your finger on something here.
In fact, reading like that, the phrase "if you want it, i'll let you have it" sounds like: "if you think that, I'll let you believe it"! Maybe he saw an oppurtunity here
He might not have known he would initiate a new pirate era, but he could have known what people can achieve if you appeal to their greed.

All this talk about Roger giving up himself is unlikely, I think. As Luffy and Garp show, a true D. would EXPECT his family members to be strong. And a pirate won't just give up his dreams that easily either. Now, I can picture a scenario where Roger might decide that he had achieved everything and is willing to give up his life for a noble purpose. But it has to be a very extreme situation then.

Oh, and the two giants had a line saying that they will wait for Usopp to return and go to Elbaf with them (adding that their lifespans are longer than any humans so how long they have to wait doesn't matter). So Elbaf can happen after even Raftel - when the characters on their way home a "world's best" Sogeking might have a little detour. Or something.
