Dragon is easily not the best father (literally chose career over family), but better than so many parents just for respecting Luffy’s decisions and dreams. Garp is the same way. He wanted Ace and Luffy to be marines, but always respected their decision to be pirates. At any time he could have beat their asses and dragged them into the marines. He’s even shown admiration and to be proud to see Luffy moving towards his dream (like “if my grandson is a criminal, he better be the best criminal.”)
the best thing is how even when Luffy and the crew are becoming these world-level threats and we get serious shots of all the reactions, they're still this goofy set of friends who spend most of their time just chilling on their boat playing silly games and stuff. they never lost the sense of adventure when the adventures got more serious
Some of y’all keep arguing that dragon doesn’t give a f about luffy but let me remind y’all that whenever luffy’s first bounty came out, the rev army were talking about it and he stepped out of the building to “get some air,” smiled, and talked to himself about luffy living the way he wanted. At loguetown, he saves luffy from smoker (twice if we’re counting the lightning that struck buggy). When garp reveals the id of luffy’s dad, he uses the words “he said he saw you off at loguetown”. Meaning, he went to see his son sail into the grandline. Most importantly, at impel down, ivankov recalls that dragon is always facing toward his home in the east. If i recall correctly, he mentions something about longing for his loved ones or whatever and that’s why he faces that way. And let’s not forget dragon is the most wanted criminal in the world. If anyone knew he had a weakness, they could use luffy against him (at least whenever he was young and vulnerable) and that’s why dragon would stay away and luffy’d be kept a secret
i just realized that if garp said ''he said he saw you off...'' that implies that dragon met garp at some point after loguetown and I never realized XD I wished we saw that scene lol
No shit, luffy would have been arrested for being dragons son, we saw that with ace. Dragon cut all ties, he is not emotionless, he just appears like that to ensure luffy is safe. But now that luffy is a yonko, he would start to change. It’s hard to become super emotional after being stoic for decades. So give him some time, I bet 100% of my life on the fact that dragoon is a good father figure. Oda Sensei doesn’t do cheap cop outs.
Honestly I think only reason Luffy asked about the revolutionary army is because he now knows Sabo is part of it. He didn't seem to care about it after finding out his dad was the leader of the army in Water 7. But Luffy and Sabo has a brotherly bond just as Luffy and Ace did
@@rishadhossain3581 sure, ivankov and inazuma were there to help luffy in impel down, and without ivankov luffy would've died to magellan's poison but don't you think he must've thought about his own brother sabo first? let's just say it's because of sabo, ivankov, and inazuma
@@iamapotato.8525 I cannot wait for that. This is by far one of the best/ the best animes. In my personal opinion. I want more! And with technology getting better the fights are looking totally insane
I feel like the reactions to Luffy beating Kaido will need a whole chapter, then in the next one he hits us with the news about Sabo.. Wano post fight stuff gonna be 🔥
I love how Ace/Sabo, although being older than Luffy, have always treated him like an equal and even up until now support him and feel so proud of his accomplishments.
With people like White Beard, Big Mom, Kaido, Shanks, Mihawk, Black beard in this world, Luffy, Zoro... the marines still consider Dragon the most Dangerous criminal in the world... I can't imagine how strong this dude is.
he is the most dangerous because he has a tattoo on his face. other guys have scars on their face but only dragon has a tattoo. japan culture if you get what i mean lmao
Ivankov in general is just such a great character. He is so unapologetically himself and just an all around great person. I wish there was more characters like him, so people would stop seeing trans and drag folk as a (completely made up) danger.
@@dcalliou7there is no thinking differently about transgender people. Sex is a spectrum and determined by many factors that result in way more than 2 outcomes.
@Unmei aimed at children huh… tell that to the gaping bloody hole in ace’s chest when he died. Or the literal genocide of Ohara. Or the citizens of wano starving to death and being worked to the bone as slaves under Kaido’s tyrannical rule. Oh, and the implication that big mom devoured mother carmel and her friends in a feeding frenzy when she was around 5. Yeah. One Piece is for kids! How happy and fun!Not saying that regular children’s series can’t touch on the topic of death, but One Piece is for teenagers and up. Just because something looks bright and happy doesn’t mean that it’s just for kids.
I Still Remember The Day When Dragon Saved Luffy From Smoker...that was Epic this shows Love Of A Dad For His Son.. Nobody can lay even a Scratch on You When You Father is there...!!
it's not like that. dragon cares about his son but he doesn't wanna show that to anybody. we've seen in earlier episodes how dragon is waiting for the right time to meet his son
@@rouge4048 plus if there is spies in the Revolutionary army, it prevents them from ratting to the WG that he has feelings for luffy so they can put a bigger target on his son, thats why he is quiet and doesnt show it, gives the impression to the enemy that he is not really interested in what the son does, when in truth its the opposite
This is the first time I've heard Dragon as I'm a manga only fan. I thought he must sound really rude snd determined in every sentence. He sounds quite soft and supportive and sounds like someone who is away from his family because of his duties. Great voice acting
Physically, he's not very expressive, even in the anime. Pretty much he's got a poker face, amused/maniacal smile, and angry face. But you're right; the tone and inflections carry so much weight~
Poor garp, his son became a legendary revolutionary opposing the whole world government and his grandson became a legendary pirate. Edit- Both of his grandsons became legendary pirates. I what y'all say, garp considered ace family and deep down ace did love garp
@@jeremywininger694 still a pirate u idiot, pretty sure Joyboy is his fruit's sun god powers ~ Luffy's dad prob has weather god fruit powers (hypothesis) too.
I honestly feel like Garp’s trust in the world gov. is wavering. I hope by the end of one piece there’s going to be some flip side and the people that thought the world government was the good guys turns on them and fights on the side of the pirates and revolutionary army.
@@anthonyg3942 They can't this time because its simply too big to hide. TWO Yonkos got taken down and there's the stuff about Wano opening up and will probably become another strawhat territory like fishman island. Moria was a shitty warlord that hid in the shadows to begin with so it was easier to hide.
I feel like Dragon acts like a badass all the time so he doesn’t lose his composure. He must have been ECSTATIC to hear his son knocked out a Celestial Dragon.
Many speculations that dragon has the wind or water logai fruit. We'll have to see at least the wind one by the end of the series but personally I think his haki is so strong he can influence the weather. That's more Oda style
I think if there is highest bounty on the record it should be dragon, the 4 emperors are crazy strong but they have no intention to overthrow a goverment, they are just like thugs with super power, unlike dragon who have a sole intention to overthrow a goverment, If you compare in real life, the 4 emperors are like mafia while dragon is like a terrorist,
He does have the highest bounty. Oda made it very clear Whitebeard & Roger has the highest bounty in PIRACY. Plus unlike the Emperors, Dragon is a DIRECT enemy of the WG.
@@davidortiz3094 ye thats where you're wrong. dragon isnt a pirate 😂😂 you said he said in "PIRACY".. also if he was just a threat, he'd be taken care of already..
@@codythomas491 Dragon isn't a pirate genius. It's stated Roger & Whitebeard has the highest bounties of all pirates. Secondly you can't just "Take care" of Dragon. Just like you can't take care of the Yonkos.
Idk if you saw the 1015 episode but when Luffy and Roger both share their dreams it was interesting to see how Ace was positioned next to WB and Oden with Sabo (they are both royalty too) Sabo really could get executed
I was really hoping they’d show an animation of the reaction of everyone who saw the new bounty of the straw hats. Like how Kaya and the trio kids were running around the village with his poster. GOD USSOP. Cause it has his name and face on it. Unlike the one back with Sogeking. Or everyone in Fanky’s Fam, Iceberg and Kokoro were flabbergasted cause General Shogun’s the one on the pic of franky and they’re like Just what in the world is he doing. Or back in Zoro’s hometown. All these kids attending the same dojo with a tape plastered over their eye. Mimicking him. And etc.
We need dragon to meet luffy and garp again, it would be a funny and amazing reunion, garp would scold dragon and luffy for screwing up their lives and luffy and dragon would be angry at him and both punch him in the face, then they all laugh and have a special monkey reunion
I think they look a lot like each other when Luffy's frowning or glaring, and even more so when Luffy doesn't have his straw hat on. Imagine if Luffy grew out his hair like Dragon's
@@sin9037 bigmom was not knocked out exactly and accepted defeat (it's still we have to see in future chapters) while kaido is all out and defeated officially May be Shinobu will defeat her 🤣
so cute that koala knows too much about sabo just as she is her life partner and loves her by heart koala's reaction was so heart warming when she was too much worried about sabe when sabo went unconscious after hearing death of ace
Most likely he was of value to the marines, possible fleet admiral to know many of the secrets, or more far stretched, maybe a former gorosei, but somehow hes considered dangerous because of the infomation he knows about the world, in the possible void century as well.
Even after the straw hats literally becoming worldwide as one of the strongest and most feared pirate crew in the new world, the straw hats is still on their ship putting chopsticks up their noses and in there mouth. Gotta love em
The most surprising thing to me as I've watch One Piece was just how chill Dragon ended up being. Really expected him to be just a massive asshole but he really just vibin with his revolutionaries most of the time.
I have no doubt that Dragon is damn near on Emperor strength. However, what makes him more dangerous is his level of influence and the potential knowledge he possesses...similar to why the gov't has a strong beef with Robin.
Man I really want to see some dragon scenes where he actually interacts instead of just staring and speaking like two words. I also wanna get his back story. Also his voice is so different from luffy and garp
Not even a single reaction from Dragon. Let's see if he can still keep a straight face after hearing about Luffy's feats in Wano. That'll sure rock his world.
I feel like the reactions to Luffy beating Kaido will need a whole chapter, then in the next one he hits us with the news about Sabo.. Wano post fight stuff gonna be
but doesnt it mean that if Luffy got higher bounty, normal civilians would view him as a really dangerous person, which goes against the revolutionaries concept of unity, freedom and peace
This annoys me too, Buggy would have murderd n killed n raped n pilliged over innocent villages n countries, all across tha Grandline n East Blue yet everyone thinks he's a joke?
I don’t think that matters much for Dragon since he himself is called the most wanted man in the world, plus, he did mentioned before that Luffy could be or do whatever his heart desired, in fact him leaving him behind was a selfless act since he didn’t want to force Luffy into the life of a revolutionary, so his son could be truly whatever person he chooses to be, and from what has been shown in previous scenes, he’s probably very proud of the kind of man Luffy has become
Dragon is the son of Garp who is the strongest Marine and the father of Luffy who will one day become the PK, obviously he has to be Yonko/ Fleet Admiral level because let's face it anything less will be disappointing.
Dragon looks way too dignified to be part of the Monkey family, he seems a lot more like Kong. It's like the genes in the family are constantly leap frogging generations.
Just got to this point in the anime. The criminal glow-up is actually crazy. Pre-Big Mom, the world new of the Straw Hats, but just as one of the crews of the worst generation; Then, Big Mom arc happens. Now, whether he is officially or not, the world knows him as a 19 year old Emperor of the Sea. I think my number one "looking forward to the most" moment is Luffy's grand fleet coming to his aid.
Why there is a feeling that Sabo got captured and will be executed but Straw Hats Alliance, Revolutionary Army and many more will come to save Sabo. Just like Marineford but a bigger one. Its just a feel.
im starting to feel excitement if oda tells us who luffy's mother is. i mean she must be like a phenomenal character if introduced. with humour and a little bossy around dragon and it'll be prolly a tragic backstory too
Dragon is a God too I think. In Skypiea they mentioned 4 Gods: God of the sun, God of the Rain, God of the forest and God of the Earth. As we saw in Logue town when Luffy was about to be executed by Buggy, the weather was changing drastically and what was it that saved Luffy? The weather, or the lightning that occured due to the bad weather. Later on we saw Dragon, so he could possibly be one of the 3 remaining Gods considering that he can change the weather. Or it could be that he has a very strong Haki, because as we saw when Shanks and Whitebeard clashed, the sky split in two. If you're caught up in the manga or anime, when Big Mom and Kaido clashed the weather also changed and the sky split. I personally think that Dragon also ate one of the God - Devil fruits like Luffy and became a God.
There's gotta be clues from sabo screen time and those guys in the cloaks might have a symbolic meaning to them as well. I think Oda hid something there about dragon. Man I wanna know more about him lol
@@cond.oriano3264 they prob will hide it since kaido is a pretty big "celebrity" in the one piece world, and they surely dont want to make enemies with him
I'm beginning to wonder maybe Dragon is not actually pleased with Luffy's piracy career and beginning to see his son in a concerned manner... almost seeing him as a wild card that could turn into a legitimate threat to his own plans for overthrowing the World Government. Dragon isn't a pirate, he doesn't want to watch the world burn or go to chaos, he doesn't care for the One Piece treasure, he just wants to replace the status quo of the World Government and put in place what he feels is a more just and reliable means of government. Luffy going about upsetting the world order left and right for both the World Government and pirates alike has its ups and downs. Luffy is a pirate at heart and will continue to do as he pleases just like Roger did. The issue is, at some point if Dragon were to ever be successful in his plans, someone like Luffy reaching Roger-level heights of power and notoriety would not be something to just leave unaddressed. At some point these two will cross paths. The One Piece is heavily implied to be the catalyst to a "World War" like never seen before. Peace and order would go down the drain and Dragon would not be too happy that his son is actively pursuing a treasure that would cause such massive amounts of chaos. Sure, the World Government may be severely weakened and place Dragon in an optimal position to take over. He would still have to deal with the fallout of this conflict with a best-case scenario Luffy and pals come out on top with the One Piece and are now faced with the premise that they coincide with Dragon's vision for the future. Would Luffy and pals cooperate peacefully with Dragon and just fall-in-line with this New World Order? I highly doubt it. There is good enough reason for Dragon to carefully observe his son as a potential threat in the long-term.
I always believed this to an extent. Dragon and Luffy seem like they have goals in common, but there is a difference between a Revolutionary and a Pirate. Their conflict could be over what that difference is.
