A serpentine dragon would also fit Quetzalcōātl, the "Feathered Serpent" of Aztec mythology. This last long been a theory about Monkey D. Dragon in the West, since this very first appearance! That's because Quetzy is the Lord of the Winds. He is also related to the Sun (Luffy) and Knowledge and Learning (Ohara). Mythical Zoan Hebi Hebi Fruit, Model Quetzalcoatl?

In India God Hanuman is also known as pawanputra (pawan- wind , putra-son) and he worship to lord RAM ( Lord Rama is believed to be descended from the sun) jai shree ram..!!!

i think you should dive in the mystery of rocks

"Drake" is a word for/associated with dragons in a lot of the west and english. I dont know the nuances or details but it refers to dragons or at least a type of wingless western dragon.

6:17 Pinyo~! 🙌🏾

dragon was originally a woman confirmed?

Dragon saying thtat children are weakness, doesn't mean he said that because of what happened to Kuma and his daughter? Or what happened to kuma was after? I find myself lost quite often.

People around me including myself still calls X app as Twitter, and while the name itself doesn't bother me, it feels hella weird hearing someone had to call it with the owner's name attached to it; elon's X. 😂 (Though I understand culturally japanese people's way of introducing themselves or other with the association/organization they work in: Kaneshiro from Toyota, Maeda from Komatsu for example-if it was the case at all)

Hi Dawn & Dusk. I love the content. Leaving a comment to support the channel.

I may have missed something in the story, but…do we know Dragon *intentionally* had Luffy? Is there any chance he maybe did not expect to have a son?

Great, now I'm starting to wonder if Drake's real name is actually Rake, borrowing from the old timey English word, which is more akin to "someone lacking restraint," though often used for promiscuity, but came from the term "rakehell," which translates somewhat to "hell raiser," commonly an insult used towards the rebellious. Edit: Doubtful that Oda used music for inspiration as Araki has for Jojo's but, the term was brought back to the populace by the Pogues' song, "Rake at the Gates of Hell," though I have found other media keeping the word alive through reference of that song name (for myself, the comic series of DC, "Hellblazer," with one of the comic's arcs bearing that title, specifically during a period where the main character defies his history and makes fools of the three leaders (in DC comics, at the time, for the run of John Constantine comics,) of Hell who have each put a claim upon the primary character's soul.)

It's good other creators are tagging your content, I've subscribed to your channel after the grand line review did a video based on your content. Your videos are great, I'm glad I've found your channel.

We are at a bit of a dry spell for One Piece content of late, but this video is fascinating and makes me all the more ready for its return soon! Thank you Dawn & Dusk

i would love the 'crocodile is luffy's mother'-theory to become true

The case of Drake I thing is mor a coincidence after all ODa used famouse Pirates names and one very popular is Francis Drake

My headcannon has always been that Garp, Roger, and Rocks all grew up on Hachinosu together.

In one of the FLashbacks Garp says explicit to Kuzan that his Son is a revolutonary so we can asume that Dragon is his biological son

I think Kuzan’s lazy justice also resemble to Garp’s my justice

you think the body of a dragon could be a national treasure Doflamingo was talking about? I.e. body-swapped someone occupying a dragon's body sitting on an empty throne. And you collect tribute cause dragons sleep on their gold.

Maybe the Baroques Works agent Ms. Mothers Day was intended to be Luffy's mother

I believe that Dragon was once a member of the Naval internal affairs division and became disillusioned with the officers and quit the marines

It will always baffle me that this channel doesnt have over 100k subs. Because most of the larger OP theorists or commentators straight up plagiarize the theories and facts said on here. I notice alot more of the creators FINALLY referencing this channel, but it will forever baffle me how the other channels are so much bigger.

Maybe your best video yet 😊

SWORD is even secret for gorosei. it wouldnt make sense foro gorosei to have cipher pole and sword. sword is revolution inside marines

Amazing! I really like it that you are able to connect and explain bits and pieces that makes the story. Now I know the back story of Pokemon's Gyarados.

When buggy found out dragon was luffys dad he concluded that Raleigh is luffys uncle.

Been following Stussy sama since the beginning of this channel! Never disappointed and always full of knowledge Stussy sama! ❤

POLAND MENTIONED, had to like

wtf. you really blow my mind 🤯🤯🤯🤯

I'm calling it now. Its gonna be a sound based devil fruit. Not like scratch, not like uta, and not like corazon. Specifically a drum, or loud burst of sound like the drums of liberation and that's why he thinks he's the sun god.

I can never get over that Luffy’s first name is “Monkey,” that’s like naming your kid “Chicken.”

I actually saw a theory, that Dragon is Luffy's dad, but not Garp's son. Instead Dragon is Sebek's offspring, and Garp had a daughter.

What if Drake is luffys uncle?

Thank you

omg thx for connecting those little dots

Greetings from Brazil! As always, thank you for the wonderful content. Your videos are unique even among One Piece channels. Keep on! Now, I want to bring something up. Since Luffy was once considered to be Brazilian by Oda (if he was from our world), and even considering Ace's name derives from Portugal (our "big brother" country in the real world), I thought we should investigate a little bit of history here in our country and compare to One Piece. To me surprise, there's a lot to dig in. But mainly, I'd love if you could research about a couple things. First: The true D. in the real World. We did have Royalty here in Brazil (as well as portugal and spain) with that title, wich is short for DON (or DOM in Brazil). That is both a name and a title, that could be obtained not only through heritage, but by achievements. It's at least curious the similarities with the famous "Don" sound in OP and the way it's used in many names (exactly "D."). Second: We had an important Emperor called D. PEDRO II, wich was well known for seeking to free slaves and end slavery. His Father (the former emperor) left him while still a very young child and crossed the seas back to Portugal. D. Pedro II was instead raised by a few people, but mainly by a lady named Mariana CARLOTA, but because he was stil a child, he couldn't pronounce the title "dama" (lady) for her, so he used to call her "DADAMA"... Does that ring a bell? DADAMA CARLOTA? Very similar to Luffy's adoptive mother CURLY DADAN. There's a lot to investigate there and I would love if YOU among anyone else brought that up in a video. Again, thank you so much for your amazing work and dedication.

[...] what do you think is the opposite of adventure? A mother." I get what he means, but I think that probably for many, coming home and visiting your mother to talk about all the adventures you've been up to can be a sweet aspect to include. Who knows, Luffy getting to know that she is alive and they see eachother for just a few seconds, one look at Luffys smile and she'll know he's on his path. He can't be stopped and is living his life till to the fullest. Some ramblings at almost 4 am.

if oda sensei thought of bringing the change within the world by characters named dragon in different languages that would be insanes but not impossible. great video.

An ancient scroll 📜.... Teaches you powerful words that the mouth is a weapon 🔪.. tells truth of the past and future.. .makes anything happpen come true .. The Encryptipedia 📖... One Piece

Having a D in marine is normal. remember Saul D Jaguar and Con D Reiano 😂

I think Dragons resignation is still pending.. hear me out! Dragon LEFT the marines but by not accepting the resignation they could use that against him.. “he’s still a marine” that’s the big secret about him! That’s why akainu dislikes him since dragon has abandoned the marines but the higher ups still consider him a marine (just to screw with him).

Dawn & Dusk, is there any chance that Dragon is Garp's son-in-law? How does that work in Japanese?

Oda is so smart that it's scary.

Regarding Dragon's appearance being so different, I've wondered if one's will or ambition dictates one's appearance in One Piece rather than genetic or familial lineage. I mention this because Nami looks like her adopted mother despite being unrelated. Same with Luffy looking like how Shanks looked in the earliest chapters of the series. I'm sure it isn't a strict rule, but it's just something I've observed. Another point of interest is Denjiro changing his physical appearance. It could be said that his will changed due to the death of Oden. Assuming my hypothesis is correct it begs the question of whose will did Dragon inherit? The only person I recall who looks anything like him is interestingly Nefertari Cobra.

I see it like this: Garp has a daughter, which is Luffy's mother. Dragon was probably a son of celestial dragon or closely assiocated with them... It could even be that Dragon is a son of Imu. When God Valley incident happened, Garp could have impacted young Dragon someway, Dragon wanted to be Garp's apprentice, Dragon fell in love with Garp's daughter, they married, got luffy, Celestial dragons kidnapped ''luffy'' baby and her mother which resulted for Garp to hate celestials. Dragon and Garp probably had to choose between their daughter and wife, or luffy, and they chose Luffy causing the mother to die.

Regarding Luffy's mom, while Oda likes to dodge the question, and there's a recurring theme of "found family" in One Piece, I highly doubt Luffy's mom will remain a mystery indefinitely. Given how much attention Oda has put on Luffy's dad and grandpa, I believe Luffy's mom will play a pivotal role in Dragon's backstory, and it's a story he won't just reveal in an SBS or something like that (although, even that would be better than nothing). My personal theory is Luffy's mom was either a Celestial Dragon with different ideals from her peers, like Mjosgard after meeting Otohime. She fell in love with Dragon, gave him a son, and was killed by St. Figarland Garling for "herecy" or "intermingling with lowborns". This could easily have fuelled Dragon's hatred towards the Celelstial Dragons. Or, Luffy's mom was an average woman who was kidnapped by the Celestial Dragons, while baby Luffy was in his father's care. Dragon wanted to save his wife, but the Navy forbade him. It's basically the Ginny scenario, except the ultimate fate of Luffy's mom remains unknown. This would be enough for any marine to defect. Either way, Luffy's mom is dead. At the very least, I want something that debunks the "Crocomom"- theory. It just doesn't feel right.

It’s possible Luffy’s life was used against his mom. And that’s why Dragon says a child is a parents weakness

i feel like sword is a counter to cp0 which are known as aegis

Hi Dawn & Dusk, I love the content that you provide in your channel.. just wanting a request if possible Would it be good for you to add hiragana at the top or side of the corresponding Kanji? so it can be read.. I know there are people here learning Japanese too like I do and the way you deep dive in every single content of your video is truly amazing.. Lovelots and Thank you..❤

I think Dragon not looking like Garp means that he just ended up expressing more of his mom’s genes. He’ll still carry Garp’s genes though. And Luffy may have expressed Garp’s genes due to his upbringing. There’s emerging studies of epigenetics where the environment you live in (and what you put yourself through) also affects your genetic expression. So maybe Garp spent a lot of time training in the wild as child, and didn’t raise Dragon the same way; Dragon defects from the Navy, and Garp sees that raising him differently led Deagon on a different path (and genetic expression) so he ends up leaving Luffy to fend for himself in the wild, making him express Garp’s genes but Luffy meeting Shanks influences him to be a pirate. That’s my head canon
