Frankly Dragon had no problem had Luffy been a Marine... his words clearly indicate that he was ok with Luffy being a man of free thought and strength.
Indra, in Hindu mytholo gy, is a god of thunder/storm/ rain or heaven, and is associated with the sky, lightning weather, thunder, storms, rains, river flows, and war. In the Loguetown arc where Dragon presented, there was "coincidental" rain and thunder that saved Luffy, which could be Dragon using his DF power. So it's a foreshadow that dragon is heaven
@@saikathalder3383 but oda chosed to name one of the attacks as bajrang. And wait is there a religion where that name is heard instead of u know what. So what's wrong with thinking for this one
@@deep_cover1879 When you think about it, it's even surprising that Smoker was unable to put down Crocodile because he has a superior DF and superior equipment with his kairoseki stick
Dragon obviously always cared about his own son, it's just that he couldn't spend time with him as his job trying to bring down the world government that's massively corrupt and allows literal slavery around the world is more important than being a father to one person. Dragon can't be a proper dad to luffy as he has bigger responsibilities for the world as a whole to be saved!
@@Gadget-WalkmenConsidering that marines wanted to kill Ace and (very likely) Rouge right after Roger's execution, it's no wonder that Dragon decided to keep distance with Luffy.
'Are these all coincidences? It's as if heaven is trying to let that man live.' I know people will still (somewhat rightfully) say that Luffy has plot armor and one of the strongest across all animes and while it's somewhat true, the people of the One Piece world themselves acknowledge it. He doesn't 'just' have plot armor, it's literally a part of his character. For me, that's still a positive and beautiful thing for One Piece, being able to make his sort of plot armor make sense in different kinds of way whether it is people in the story recognizing it too (Smoker, Mihawk) or by different powers (devil fruit, VoAT, conquerors haki, will of d). I can understand if people disagree but some pseudo fans wanna pretend that it wasn't showcased since pre grandline time when this part exists in the series.
Plot armor is fine in animes but just having the protagonist win because of it seems really stupid. there should be a reason to somehow win, like katakuri when he increases his strength in observation, or when kaido mop the floor with him and he comes back better.
@@3TW41 Lol I bet you were one of those people who accused Primebeard of being a fraud for sweating when fighting Oden in the flashback. Stop calling everyone a fraud and understand the story.
That time dragon respect his son for whom become to be the pirate king. Thats why after that event he didn't go help luffy anymore because dragon knows already that his sons is ready now..now on his own and knows that Luffy is not alone anymore because he got crew and friends
Honestly, when I look back, it was extremely cringe for Smoker to stay stationed there in Loguetown for so long, he is a Logia DF user just straight up bullying newbie pirates that clearly don't have any means of fighting against it, practically no one knows about the existence of Haki at that stage
I think it's the opposite. Smoker at logue town is perfect. All the new pirates who wanna go to the Grand line need a real test that shows em that the sea is not nice out there. Plus, smoker is not strong. I like him as a character but honestly, beside this logue town arc, he pretty much was a punching bag to all pirates in GL and NW. ace, crocodile, virgo, cesar, doflamingo and others.
@@islamghadban2862 all thoses you mentioned were either great pirates that were warlords or wb commander + a veteran vice admiral, so nah smoker IS STRONG he just need to level up
"Captain Smoker! The World's Most Wanted Man is there!" -Higher bounty than Roger -Natural Enemy of Smoker (Wind v. Smoke) -Conqueror's Haki (Implied at Marineford.) Smoker: "Stay focused on the little 30 Million kid and mind your business, marine!"
Dragon saved Luffy many times: two times here a loguetown, his friend Kuma at sabaody, Ivankov saved from poisoning and prob other occassions we dont know about
I think Dragon's in a position of "The moment I personally make a move is when the war truly starts". He's the world's "Worst Criminal", the most wanted man alive, and a powerful fighter no doubt (being the son of Monkey D. Garp and a former marine). The reason Dragon stays in the shadows is probably to avoid a decisive confrontation when the Revolutionary Army is still not yet ready to go all out against the WG. If Dragon moves, someone on the level of an Admiral (probably all of them) will mobilize, just like they did for Whitebeard. That's the scary thing about Dragon. He's a looming grey eminence, patiently waiting for the exact moment to strike, and when he does, it'll be a raging storm like one never seen in the history of the world.
Honestly, The sheer power it seemed Dragon could show is quite a lot. Watching it again shows me that he truly could be the strongest character. After recent chapters i cant say who the strongest is if you know what i mean, coz we just now know a few more characters. But personally it would make great sense if Dragon is the strongest, ofcourse maybe after Imu.
Some people have referenced he has one of the mythical dragon devil fruits like Kaido. If Kaido has the fruit that represents the fire based western dragon then Dragon could have the wind based eastern dragon
Many people don't like Dragon as a father but i think the path Dragon chose was dangerous for Luffy when he was just a child ..and i think Dragon felt that if he meets luffy in his childhood as a dad he will get weak for his child and couldn't focus on his goal so he maintained his distance with Luffy
nah as ace said in marineford both he and luffy had the blood of criminals. when sengoku announced that dragon was luffy's father garp also mentioned that it doesn't matter anymore since luffy was already a wanted pirate. thats why garp wanted them to be marines because it was the only safe way out for them. if they just continued on as normal persons they would eventually still be hunted down. thats why dragon was ok with luffy being a pirate, no matter what path he choose it would still have been dangerous just because dragon was his dad.
Given that he's Garp's son and Luffy's father, both of them being absolute units in their own right, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary if Dragon was at least as strong as them. My speculation (and many others) is that Dragon possesses God Zoan; Bird-Bird Fruit: Model Thunderbird (God of Rain), which on top of typical Zoan abilities, allows the user to control the weather at will, specifically winds and thunderstorms (like thunderbirds in American mythology), and maybe makes him Logia-intangible in Beast Form or has increasd recovery like Marco's Phoenix Fruit. On top of that, he'll definitely have all three forms of Haki, with at least Observation and Armament at Advanced stage. The bounty... many say it'll be 6 Billion Berri, but I'm skeptical since it'd be higher than Roger's, and I don't think Oda would want anyone but Luffy to topple that number first. Still, since he's the World's Most Wanted Criminal, his bounty must be as high, if not higher, than those of Emperors. My bet is that his bounty would be higher than Whitebeard's 5,05 Billion Berri. I'd say 5.106.565.600 Berri 5106 (ko(n)-to-ro(u)) - condor (animal thunderbird is the most similar to) 5656 (go-ro-go-ro) - thunder/lightning

So basically if smoker captured him luffy would’ve been tortured in impel down to point where he would waken sun god Nika and dragon is the reason why got into the grandline, where kaido beat him up to basically near death either way he would’ve awaken his devil fruit and dead damage 😂
