One Pieceis an incredibly large series, full of tons of interesting characters and locations. Due to this, at times, it can be difficult to find a proper place for every character to have their time to shine. Although something like this may seem detrimental toOne Piecein the long run, strangely enough, all it does is create more hype for highly anticipated characters that fans want to see in the spotlight once again.
Out of any character inOne Piece, no other character is nearly as highly anticipated as Monkey D. Dragon. While the character plays an extremely vital role in the series, so far,the Head of the Revolutionary Armyhas done almost nothing noteworthy. Although at this point fans are ready to see the character have his chance to show off his abilities, among all the fan theories surrounding Dragon, it may be hard for him to live up to the massive amount of hype.
Dragon Is Positioned To Be A Powerful Character In One Piece
He Should Be One Of The Strongest The Series Has To Offer
Monkey D. Dragon is an extremely important character inOne Piece, despite not doing much of note so far. Firstly, Dragon is the father ofthe protagonist ofOne Piece, Monkey D. Luffy, though he has been largely absent in his life. At the same time, Dragon is also the Head of the Revolutionary Army, making him the most wanted person in the world ofOne Piece, as well as a fierce enemy of the World Government.

While this puts Dragon in the position of an extremely important person in the world ofOne Piece, so far, Dragon hasn’t done much to prove himself deserving of his title. As of now, the only thing of note that Dragon has done is save Luffy from Smoker duringthe Loguetown Arc ofOne Piece. Outside of this significant, though small in the grand scheme of things, event, Dragon has kept largely to himself, occasionally commenting on current events. However, despite not doing anything, based on his station and status as the most wanted person, fans have high expectations of Dragon’s physical abilities.
No Matter How Strong Dragon Is He Won’t Live Up To Fan Expectations
So Many Fan Theories Build Dragon Up So High
However, as of now, even well intothe Final Saga ofOne Piece, Dragon hasn’t even given a hint at how strong he could be. Despite this, fans have plenty of theories about how strong he could be. Based on the events surrounding the rescue of Luffy in Loguetown, many fans assume that Dragon has an ability strong enough to change the weather. This includes theories that suggest that Dragon may possess a God Devil Fruit, similar to Luffy’s Nika Fruit, or potentially possess Haki strong enough to perform such a feat.
However, even if Dragon is revealed to haveaOne PieceGod Devil Fruitthat makes him one of the strongest in the series, it’s still possible that some fans will be disappointed with his strength. Right now, many fans have hyped up Dragon to be one of the strongest characters of all time. Being the most wanted character ofOne Piece, and many fans often correlating a character’s bounty level to their power, many fans believe that Dragon will be one of the strongest characters in all ofOne Piece.
Dragon Shouldn’t Be Stronger Than End Of Series Luffy
The Series Is Sunning Low On Time To Show Him Off
With the amount of theories that predict the character to be strong, and the series itself hyping Dragon up so much, whenDragon’s power inOne Pieceis eventually shown in the series, it seems unlikely the community will be satisfied. As of now, it seems unlikely that Dragon will reach a similar level to End of Series Blackbeard or Luffy. However, at the same time, it seems likely that Dragon will be on a similar level as the Admirals of the Navy. Still, having the epic character of Dragon revealed to already be weaker than his son may leave a sour taste in the eyes of fans.

In the end, withLuffy’s father inOne Piece,Dragon, being built up for so long, it may be difficult for fans to accept his level of strength when it’s finally revealed. However, not all hope is lost when it comes to Dragon’s power. If Dragon is introduced to the story soon, before characters like Blackbeard and Luffy become too strong, it may be possible to give Dragon a satisfying place inOne Piece’spower system.
