One Piece Finally Reveals Dragon’s Revolutionary Origins

by

Regardless of his significant role as the protagonist’s father in “One Piece” and being a central character, Monkey D. Dragon remains one of the most enigmatic figures within the series. From his initial appearance at Logue Town, Dragon has orchestrated his moves covertly. It wasn’t until quite recently that viewers witnessed the initiation of his intricate strategy, manifested in the Revolutionary Army’s assault on Mariejois. Although it is evident what the Revolutionary Army aims to achieve, fans are yet to uncover the driving forces behind Dragon’s departure from the Navy and his transformation into “One Piece'”s notorious “Worst Criminal.

At last, Chapter 1159 sheds light on Luffy’s father for fans, explaining what event might have influenced his antagonism towards the World Government – it turns out to be the God Valley Incident. The newest chapter delves back into this pivotal incident, offering fresh insights from various angles, including that of a young Monkey D. Dragon on God Valley Island 38 years ago during the brutal Native Hunting Competition organized by the Celestial Dragons. At that time, Dragon was a novice Marine who began to question his orders and showed hesitation towards harming the innocent people of God Valley. The horrific sights he witnessed there might have significantly contributed to Dragon’s decision to rebel against the Celestial Dragons and the World Government in future.

One Piece Reveals Luffy’s Father Was Present at God Valley

For a long time, viewers have speculated that Dragon was once part of the Marines but later switched sides due to a personal hardship. This assumption was validated during the Egghead Arc, and it appears the Elbaf Arc has shed light on the second part as well, with the God Valley Incident potentially being a significant reason for his change in allegiance. The event came as a shock to fans when they learned about its brutal, inhumane aspects during Kuma’s flashback. Given that Dragon would have been around 17 years old at the time, it’s not surprising this incident left such a deep mark on him.

In Chapter 1159 of “One Piece,” fans observe Dragon grappling with his assigned tasks, justifying the use of tranquilizers on God Valley’s citizens as non-lethal, despite his apparent unease. This discomfort intensifies when he hears the Navy deploying tear gas. By the end of Chapter 1159, Dragon interacts with Shanks and Shamrock’s ailing mother who pleads for him to protect her children from the looming massacre, a situation that may have been the final straw leading to his decisive action.

Observing, I can’t help but draw parallels between the Buster Call that unsettled Kuzan and the God Valley Incident, which seems to have stirred doubts within Dragon about the World Government and the Navy’s justice. In retrospect, his departure from the Navy, as he put it in Vegapunk’s flashback to Ohara, now carries a heavier weight – “I found no justice there.” This statement resonates more profoundly today.

The God Valley Incident must have been a deeply impactful event for Dragon, given his age and the horrors he would have witnessed. It sheds light on his character and his actions up to this point. The incident offers an explanation for why he chose to stand against the World Government and fight for what he believes is right.

One Piece’s New God Valley Reveal Could Explain Countless Dragon Mysteries

The fact that Dragon resided in God Valley provides a plausible explanation for several other enigmas, including his knowledge about the Holy Knights, whom Akainu had only vaguely mentioned prior to this. Given that Dragon was at God Valley alongside the Holy Knights, it’s reasonable to infer he knew of their existence. This would also clarify how Dragon acquired extensive intel on the elite guard, despite reportedly having limited time in the Navy.

In addition to what’s already been mentioned, there’s a widely held fan theory that Dragon might have discovered his Devil Fruit at God Valley. Ever since his debut at Logue Town, Dragon has sparked suspicions about wielding a weather-controlling Devil Fruit. It’s possible that the flashback from God Valley could shed some light on this. With Shanks and Shamrock’s future hanging in the balance, it appears that Dragon will have a significant impact. This upcoming chapter of One Piece promises to be exciting, particularly for fans who are eagerly waiting to uncover more about Luffy’s enigmatic father.
