How strong do you think Dragon really is?

[lordHokage]

I think Monkey D. Dragon is one of strongest characters in One Piece. I believe all the Warlords take orders from him and I wouldn’t be surprise if he has some connection in the Marines.

the answers in this thread are very repetitive.. so as far as my opinion of Dragon is of an ambitious man with probably lot of influence power.. As for Physical strength, he probably inherited his strength from Garp. As for potential devil fruit power, i dunno but he probably could walk to Enies Lobby and return unharm..

Well said. I don't think none of the devil fruits powers would have any affect on him. I can’t wait to see him in action again.

Dragon is much stronger than shichibukais or yonkous, because:

1.some shichibukais are on the same level as yonkous. e.g shanks and mihawk.
2.Ace is on the same level as a shichibukai, if not stronger. the reason he lost to BB is because of his DF, i mean hes obviously is sttronger tha croc or moria.
3.Smoker wasnt scared of croc and if he had the chance he woudve fought him, he already did with Ace in arabasta for gettin in the way of him capturin luffy.
4. well if smoker fought Ace for interuptin him, then Dragon did the same in loguetown and even worse for rescuing buggy pirates and messed up the town and yet he didnt try anythin agaist Dragon coz he got scared of him.
5.THE only man capable of fighting the WG is MONKEY D DRAGON.

maybe after the Fishmen Island arc, it will be his turn and he'll try to convince Luffy to be a Revolutionary and help him destroy the World Government

When Luffy asked Ussop to burn down the World Government flag, he was acting like his father. Like father, like son.

Blackbeard would, his ability can affect everyone and logia users are the most vulnerable because they usually have lost some of their ability to fight with their real body.

P.S. Anyway, for the kind of manga that One Piece is, I think that Dragon is somewhat evil(just from looking at his facial expression), maybe he's the mature version of Luffy, that is someone who tries to achieve some good results, but in the real world's way, that is through war, knowing that there will be innocent blood on that way. Luffy instead is the shounen manga way to solve problems, that is "I will sacrifice myself to save everyone else, so that no one of my friends will be killed". Probably there will be some conflict
between them when they will finally meet.

Dragon's Powers..

Just been re reading some old chapters and found this:
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/100/20/
I'm pretty convinced Dragon has a nasty DF like a real weather power.
Possibly a Storm or Wind man. (Kaze ningen)
Any ideas or predictions???

Judging from what happened at Loguetown and the sudden storm that stopped Smoker and allowed the Strawhats to escape, it is highly possible Dragon has the Kaze Kaze No Mi (Wind Wind Fruit), seeing as it's one of the few elements left in the Logia department. Additionally, Dragon is always pictured in windy places when he is shown (though that could be coincidence). It's also possible that Dragon used haki or some other form of power to create a storm in Loguetown, like what happened when Shanks and Whitebeard fought during their meeting.

Guess he's more powerful than the Shichibukai or the Emperors because (how Nico Robin explained in the manga) he is the only one with his army of rebels who is a real thread for the WG.

If he was not strong the WG wouldn't be so afraid of him and got him already ...

They do not nessesarily fear him for his strength, most likely his strength has very little to do with it! They fear him for the same reasons they fear Nico Robin, because of his knowledge, political influence and his leadership over the revulutionary army.

 

[gao_dargon]

i think he has to be atleast at an admiral lvl, if not the WG would allready capture him (allthough i heard he was really hard to find in the first place)

Monkey D. "Revolutionary" Dragon

is the most wanted man in the world

Imagine having comrades like:

Inazuma
Emporio Ivankov
and
Bartholomew Kuma

as part of his Revolutionary makes sense

 

[MaiSiaoSiao]

Right now the answer to this question is that he has the power to control weather.Nothing else about him is known other then hes Garp's son and the most wanted person in OP.
We'll just have to wait till Oda finally decides that its time to put Dragon into the spot light XD

 

[fcToho]

The name "Dragon"
Most wanted man in the world
Leads the greatest threat
(just to think you can overthrow the wg means something)
King's haki
Son of Garp the hero
Father of super-rookie luffy (king's haki)
Subordinates like Ivankov and Kuma

I think it's safe to say, that he is at the top (like whitebeard). I would expect him to be stronger than his father and stronger than the admirals.
Maybe only slightly stronger, but still stronger.

 

[RezzieThaRapper]

I've said before(but not on this thread) and I'll say it again...

I believe Dragon has the "Kumo Kumo No Mi" and is a Cloud Man
_______________________________
Abilities this would yield could be:
----------------------------------------------
Control over clouds and their abilities
Wind control
Funnel Clouds
Lightning Clouds
Changes in Climate... The ability to remove clouds from an area
Rain
Hurricanes
Flight (GOKU!!!)
---could be the better of the moku moku no mi--- Smokers Fruit
The Ability to Cloud Judgement (Nah...)
========================================================

Whitebeard has the ability to destroy the world

Maybe Dragon has the ability to cause the Apocalpse

Considering what has already been stated in this thread about Dragon and his strengths, his known history and connections, I would like to predict and assume that he must surely have an immense amount of control over his Haōshoku Haki (although it hasn't been stated or confirmed that he does possess such haki, it's safe to say that he has for obvious reasons...)

Imagine if it was Dragon instead of Luffy releasing his Haōshoku Haki in the middle of the Marineford War...now that would be a very special moment to witness. Only a few people would still be standing, no?

Anyway...there's obviously a strong "Dragon" theme connected with Dragon. Besides the Dragon-themed RV ship that was revealed in the Sabo flashback and his first name lol; it's more than likely he has some kind of Dragon-related df ability/powers? Maybe? Possibly? Well, I say he does. I guess we'll have to wait for the day we see him in action for it to be confirmed true or not...

Hm, makes me wonder why Whitebeard didnt just do exactly that. Or even Garp if he has which he more than likely does.

Maybe BEEEECUZ they don't ? Was it explicitly stated that the two mentioned above have King's Haki?? I'm sure they would have definitely used it if they had it. Heck, Shanks used it when boarding WB's ship just to create and atmosphere

The only other thought I have is that WB and Garp can't control it like Rayleigh can. Knocking out their nakama as well as the enemy.

That would've been cool to see but during those moments WB was facing off against the VA's and he used haki as well when he said "I am Whitebeard!". I guess reusing such large amounts of haki within such a small time frame is difficult/not possible. I still think it was great that Luffy did it. ^^ Garp wouldn't do it anyway.

@ El-Thor - Yes. Both WB & Shanks possess the Haōshoku Haki. Confirmed here.

Erm. Wb has haki. i thought everyone would know that by now

Yh i noticed him using COA and COO during the war but why he didnt use his kings to just take out all the weaklings baffles me. I actually dont think there is a logical explanation for it tbh cause there was plenty of time for WB to kings haki the heck out of the fodder marines.

---

But anyway. As for how strong dragon is, i think he is as strong as Whitebeard. The same reason why Garp isent called the strongest man in the world is the same reason why Dragon isnt imo. I think its because WB was simply the man that equally contested with the pirate king for the same goal. Competing as a fellow pirate with the biggest threat in the world equally made him as much as a threat after Rogers death. Cause you have Garp who also fought with roger and probably fought with him equally from how the manga stating that Garp cornered Roger many times. But garp aint called the strongest man in the world. Its simply because Wb competed with the pirate king (the best) equally as a fellow pirate. So then you have dragon who could probably also equally match Wb but he wont be called the strongest for those reasons. The strongest in each the government, revolutionists, and pirates are all probably equally as strong. Wb's devil fruit may also contribute to him being known as the strongest. I remember Sengoku saying that Wb can destroy the world with his power. That could also be why he is considered the strongest. But I honestly think that Dragon being the strongest of the revolutionist is as strong as the strongest pirate and the strongest marine.
