Here's an interesting thought: If Gold Roger was the Pirate King, did he have an ability? If not, how the hell did he keep up with the likes of Whitebeard and others? He must of have been one Hell of a pirate.

If it was me, I'd give him the power to manipulate water. For a pirate, on the sea, he'd be haxxed. Though I've always thought it would be awesome if he was just some ordinary guy who fought his way to the top with no power's or training, just pure force of will. I also suspect Shanks of doing this, becuase we know he can swim.
But damn! Can Whitebeard really destroy the planet do ya think? That's insane, not even an overpowered ass like Eneru can keep up with that. Not very useful in close combat though, but I suppose he has Haki and his weapon for that.
id say rogers knew about the lost civilisation and the lost century. uber strong king haki and power over the lost civilisation's technology as well as the ability to tell the world the role of the government in it wud have made him a power to defeat the world government. even now, nami can read the glyphs and is wanted like crazy by the government. heck, the very phenomenon which led to the creation of the devil fruit might be connected to the technology of the lost civilisation.
btw, i also think that DRAGON was related to rogers{brother maybe}. they have similar ideals in giving personal freedom to people, whether that be throught starting an AGE OF PIRACY or liberating entire nations. it has to do with overthrowing the will of the powerhungry. thats probably why dragon is the most wanted criminal in the world, putting him on a similar station as rogers.
Stopping Luffy in his tracks because of exploiting his weakness <<< kicking the shit out of Smoker in smoke form with haki. It's obvious she will pwn him. LOL shes going to feed his pieces to animals thats gold man.

Badassery isn't just power man, it's also testicular fortitude. Smoker just found out that Luffy is the son of the most dangerous man in the world, and knows that if he harms him in anyway he'll most likely have to face bloody vengeance. He also knows that Luffy has been able to take it to 2 Shibukai and what does he do? throw himself at him. Then he takes a cheapshot from a shibukai, and barely seems phased and willing to take her on too.
Even if he loses, the man's got balls of ****ing ganite.
