Dragon is a good leader and good friend to Kuma. Asking every doctor all around the world through his contacts was the best Dragon could do. Just imagine if Dragon had mentioned Vegapunk, Kuma as a desperate father might have gone to Punk Hazard with Bonney. Since Vegapunk is always busy the first thing Kuma might have heard when ringing the doorbell was "Shurororo don't worry i am good with children".

[@meaniecough5560]

ofc yeah, tragady awaiting to happen imo, good thing it didn't

[@linkster291]

As well given this is around the time time the warlord system started, and Kuma was viewed as a pirate rather than a revolutionary at the time. Toss in the move leaving weaker security, Dragon probably felt this was the best time for Kuma to try it because he might be able to negotiate a more peaceful option, rather than be immediately shot at. Cause we do know that Kuma will be a Warlord by this end of this.

[@DB-yx5el]

I used to dislike dragon for what he let Kuma go through but now I realize that Kuma wasn't even a revolutionary for long so dragon doesn't owe anything to him

I actually trust Dragon MORE as the leader of a revolution because he doesn't just immediately go try to save one person or throw Kuma into a heavily monitored and guarded location instantly. It tells me that he's a calculated individual who is focused on the big picture of freeing the world from the Celestial Dragons permanently as opposed to risking everything protecting the people he personally likes. To note, this doesn't make me happy about what happened to Ginny, but I blame the perpetrators and the perpetrators alone. Besides, if we're aware of the risks for every single one of them (especially 1 year after Fisher Tiger already pulled that once, so security would be improved), the issue sadly doesn't change when it becomes personal.

[@parzavaal5335]

@@parzavaal5335Haven't seen his new video yet (I got annoyed by the Raid will Fail stuff, so I don't watch as much), but more we just reached the same conclusion then. I had that thought instantly when people start badmouthing Dragon because I was like "Seriously? That's so illogical when you're the head of an entire operation that requires calculation." The man has done things like forming a mercenary group to gain funds, strategically helping those who are ready to rebel, and coming up with plans like cutting off food to the Holy Land. The guy is clearly a mastermind systematically weakening them, not someone who just passionately throws his fists around with the force that has a monopoly on power and hopes things turn out well. Attrition warfare is dumb. Maneuver warfare is what works best. There's a reason the Art of War is what's recommended for study when it comes to warfare.

[@Dontdoit_]

[@SOLDAT_MENDES]

I understand your perspective on Dragon's leadership style. His decision to prioritize the broader goal of overthrowing the Celestial Dragons over immediately rescuing individuals like Kuma or Ginny can be seen as a calculated and strategic approach. While it may not be the most compassionate approach, it aligns with the long-term objectives of the Revolutionary Army. It's important also to recognize that the risks associated with rescuing individuals from government custody are significant. The Celestial Dragons and the World Government have immense resources and influence, and they are not afraid to use force to protect their interests. As you mentioned, the incident with Fisher Tiger demonstrated the heightened security measures in place, making such rescue attempts even more challenging. In light of these risks, Dragon's decision to focus on the larger revolution can be seen as a necessary sacrifice. While it's heartbreaking to see individuals like Kuma and Ginny suffer, Dragon's actions are driven by a belief that the long-term liberation of the world will ultimately benefit everyone, including those who have been directly harmed by the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. Of course, this doesn't diminish the pain and suffering experienced by those who have been targeted by the World Government. The perpetrators of these acts are solely responsible for their actions, and their cruelty should never be excused or justified. And, Dragon's leadership style is a matter of perspective. Some may view his approach as cold and calculating, while others may see it as a necessary evil in the pursuit of a greater good. It's important to acknowledge the complexities of his decisions and the challenges he faces in leading a revolution against such a formidable adversary.

[@tiagomoreira8905]

For clarification: Ch 1099 starts 6 years ago and ends 4 years ago (2 years before the series' start). That's when the Punk Hazard incident happened. Also, it's the same year Ace got offered the Warlord title but declined it, so it's likely that spot went to Kuma instead. And I'm sure Kuma visited Amazon Lily after this chapter, which means he left with a good enough outlook on it to send Luffy there later. Think about it: Kuma is a former slave. Gloriosa may have reckognized him as the slave boy that saved hundreds of slaves in God Valley. Hancock, upon learning this, would respect Kuma a lot. Which may mean Hancock and Kuma departed in friendly terms. And it gives a whole new perspective on Hancock trashing Pacifistas left and right in Marineford, as well as how she will react about being cloned herself.

[@xuklysc]

this is probably the flashback that covers more life of the character we've ever had (and probably will ever have), and I'm totally fine it is about Kuma

[@arthbhattarai]

Before sending Luffy off, Kuma did have the brief moment of whispering with Rayleigh. I bet he asked Rayleigh where he should send luffy, so that he can train him and Rayleigh with his relationship with Amazon Lilly told him to send Luffy there.

[@kaidenjohnson2624]

Doubt it Kuma wouldn't risk going to Amazon lily especially since how dangerous the calm belt is

[@SOLDAT_MENDES]

It's true that Chapter 1099 of One Piece covers a significant period of time, spanning from six years before the series' start to four years before the start. This timeframe includes the Punk Hazard incident, Ace's rejection of the Warlord title, and Kuma's potential visit to Amazon Lily. Your insights about Kuma's past as a slave and his relationship with Gloriosa and Hancock are interesting. It's plausible that Kuma's connection to Amazon Lily and his interactions with Hancock influenced his decision to send Luffy there later. The potential connection between Kuma's past and Hancock's aversion to Pacifistas is also intriguing. It could explain her strong reaction to being cloned and her treatment of the Pacifistas during the Marineford War. And, the additional context provided by Chapter 1099 adds depth and complexity to Kuma's character and his relationships with other characters. It also adds a new dimension to Hancock's actions and motivations.

[@DJtahna]

This comment needs more likes. Amazing!

[@larsbohmer6319]

I have an idea... What if Dragon is not telling everything he knows or the things straight away not to protect someone, but because he knows that he can be observed by an Elder Star at any point in time?

[@Par-Blindspot]

He planned and green lighted a mission to the Holy land.

[@thatbikeguy650]

​@@Par-Blindspotthe above reason is why it take so much time and why he choose the raid in the mid of reviry

[@JRMagro]

The reason Dragon didn't ask/recommend VP right away, is probably because vegapunk isn't a medical Dr. He's a scientist. But once there was seemingly no options left, Dragon realized VP is probably the only mad man alive who could figure out a cure.

[@S4NSE]

No, Vegapunk is hard to get a hold of, the only reason why he saw a possiblity was because Vegapunk was on the move at that time, I mean if you stay with the canon, I like your idea too, would say a mix of both but manga only said what I said.

[@sonofcronos7831]

That logic dont apply to Vegapunk. In real life and in one piece, people forget knowlegde so we need to especialise in one thing. But Vegapunk dont have that limitation because his fruit allows him to have infinite knowlegde, since he never forgets anything. Chopper asked Vegapunk in the beginning of this arc if Vegapunk had medical knowlegde stored in Punk Hazard and he said yes. He also clone organs for transplant, etc, so he is definility a doctor because he can have all knowlegde of the world and never forgets anything.

[@JRMagro]

Why people insist on telling me I'm wrong with a theory I'm suggesting., when I have no impact on the story and am just trying to have fun, is beyond me. Yall need to get a life.

[@idiatico]

Dragon couldnt reach vegapunk because he was on punk hazard. After he moved to egghead there was opportunity to reach out again. Its also possible they specifically werent talking because the wg was listening in all the time and it wasnt until after this saturn incident that Vegapunk developed the secure calls for the revs and setup a direct line to dragon

[@krowft]

I like how Morj explains Dragon's perspective, it actually makes this flashback give me more faith in Dragon instead of less

[@Par-Blindspot]

What did he say? I find it hard to defend or like Dragon at this point based on what we have seen in the Manga. I'll list some points I hate his character for. 1. He doubted Sabos Character when the news said he killed Cobra. 2. He made no effort to help Ginny. 3. He made no effort to help Ivankov 4. He never found out about Im-sama until Sabo came back and revealed it. 5. He seems selfish like Garp. 6. Why would he put his organization above rescue missions yet he never reinstated an East Commander after Ginny? Isn't this Counter Productive? Now I can forgive most of this if he ends up being just a Strategist type but omg if he turns out to be a heavy hitter like prime Garp then I really can't forgive him. In fact, if it turns out that he has a Devil Fruit that allows him to fly then he really fked up.

[@nagaijo7262]

Whaat a character which at that time has a small organization, fighting the ENTIRE world govt, that said character don't : 1. Straight up going to government area to rescue one person, with the risk to kill more friend or all of them 2. Don't rescue their friend who got capture, when the entire organization is AGAINST the government, with the risk of getting capture 3. Don't fully trust their friend blindly like a fool when their entire organization is a fucking REVOLUTION who might has one or two government agent dragon don't feel like LUFFY who entire goal is to fulfill his friend dream, will kill the world government because one of their friend got enslave , DRAGON feel too realistic, not a happy go lucky leader, he sacrifice his friend for greater good, BAAD BAAD CHARACTER, too realistic, not childish, one piece bad, dragon bad, Luffy good, 👍

[@Par-Blindspot]

The Organization at the time had 4 divisions, Do you think it was 50 men? 100? LOL What number is small to you? Fisher Tiger did it by himself. Sabo did it with a small team. Are you saying Rescue missions are impossible? What does having the world government as an enemy have to do with mounting a rescue mission? They have always been enemies. So you claim they might have government agents in their revolution but the Mission to the Holy Land with Sabo was still successful. Did the Sabo mission cause the entire WG army to fight the Rev Army? You sound wack. All I'm saying is Dragon is Cold, Slightly incompetent and Selfish. Because someone dislikes a Character doesn't mean they hate One Piece. You are dumb for saying that. @@nagaijo7262

Correction: Devil Fruits in general do not have a Will of their own. Zoan fruits specifically do. That what the Elder said and what we’ve seen in the past (particularly with carnivorous Zoans). As Bonney’s fruit is a Paramecia, there is nothing in the series to indicate it has a will.

[@Davadro]

In Chapter 521 Boa states that they where fed the love-love and snake-snake fruit when they where slaves for the amusement of the world nobles, Though it is an interesting theory about the zoan fruits choosing their users but it can be as simple as that.

[@Par-Blindspot]

I never like this part of the plot after it was revealed that its an extremely strong or Important DF, I based this off of Black Beard going for it. I guess if the slaves sisters were always in seastone cuffs then it wouldn't matter but it just sounds kinda dumb when I think about it.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

Bonney was the baby of a diseased 'wife', so they would have just thrown her out with her mother. They very likely would not have wasted a DF on her just for funsies, especially when they could use it on someone else for funsies instead. That and she had baths. Baths have been shown to weaken DF users, so they would have figured out she was carrying well before now.

I think dragon's face tattoo isn't the burn marks we're looking for, I think they're underneath his cloak all over his body, from none other than Akainu himself. Also if Dragon can create whirlpools; What are the chances he created the whirlpool that caused Luffy to get sent on his journey, since he was in East Blue at the time? I'm sure Oda has that tucked in his pocket if he decides that's the case. It definitely lines up, but I guess we'll see.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

So you think the man that Law and Kidd know as "marked by flames" is Dragon, Luffy's father, who they could have just called Dragon to Luffy's face, being that he's the man's son? And that he's KNOWN as being 'marked by flames' by all and sundry (who obviously missed the bounty posters and printing of his face in the newspaper every time he does shit) because of some scars he may have that no-one can see to recognise him by? Nah, Dragon is too well-known to be some nameless guy who is only known as "dude marked by flames". If the only thing people can call him is 'marked by flames', then it's bound to be very apparent that the guy was, you know, _marked by flames_ - that is, he's either not bothering to hide the burns or they're very easy to notice.

[@Ic3dsoul]

​@@7thlittleleopard7 "Man marked by flames" is a description not an epithet like "blackleg" or "pirate hunter" The guy they talk about is basicly part of a modern myth in the op-world no one knows who he is except for the Flame markings and whirpoools And also lafitte did not meet him Kid and Killer on the other hand gave the impression they met them before and they probably should know dragon But to your point: maybe they did not say its dragon to keep the info from luffy specifficaly...

[@Bushflare]

@@Ic3dsoul If Kid wanted to withhold info he’d just make a point that he knows and he’s not telling Luffy and hold it over his head. The most likely candidate atm is Saul as the evidence for it being Dragon is a colossal reach which requires a degree of convolution in its reveal that One Piece is not known for.

[@mokaljordan]

The anime and manga heavily implies that Law and Robin either knows who the burn scar is or they are about to meet them in the near future, i can see ppl taking robins expression for burn scar fellow being dragon but i dont see Law knowing Dragon personally already or cant picture law and bepo being at sea in the new world and ending up on near marijois or okamabakka queendom in paradise to run into dragon

[@trollgasm]

Did they actually say they know who it is directly, or did they only mention him as "the man marked by flames", because they're aware of the rumors? That's a big difference. It's just hard to ignore the fact he has a Black Boat, and presumably can create whirlpools as he has some form of weather based devil-fruit. On top of this information, his face tattoo is presumably representing the 4 Road Poneglyphs. If you're looking for a reason that he is able to do this, and not be known as dragon. It's because nobody can get near the boat to confirm it, and also nobody in his circle would ever betray his indentity. He also regularly keeps secrets from his own members of the revolutionary army. Or rather to not mis-speak, he just doesn't tell them unless they ask. This is evident by many conversations shown between him and Ivankov. Hope this helps to clarify anything for anyone. If it's not at least Dragon, maybe we can assume it's someone who regularly travels on his boat? Also none of this could matter, it could just be a randomly inserted new powerhouse from nowhere. We'll just have to wait. @@7thlittleleopard7

[@drewmotl4663]

It’s worth noting that when Dragon told Kuma about Dr Vegapunk, he mentions that Vegapunk is being moved and is now far more accessible then he’d been since entering the government’s employment. Vegapunk was inaccessible before that, that’s why kuma didn’t go to him and Dragon didn’t say anything

[@old-flabbyman-thighs2367]

Xebec is the man marked by flames, he's been hyped up conveniently at the same time

[@benjabby]

My theory for Blackbeard has always been that his natural quirk of never sleeping, combined with his yami yami no mi is what allowed him to eat a second devil's fruit. It was stated if someone ate a second devil fruit their body would tear apart - Blackbeard's body is constantly doing that ever since he consumed whitebeards fruit but he is always using the yami powers 24/7 to pull his body together. If he ever slept or was knocked unconscious he wouldnt be able to consciously keep himself together. The whole deal about conquerors haki knocking people out will become extremely relevant

[@thirstquencher7965]

[@tonex36]

Jaguar d Saul has to be the man marked by flames. When kuzan freezes Saul on O'Hara, I believe he was thawed by the buster call leaving him terribly injured. I think Dragon knows him because they were both marines. Maybe Saul is the original sword member

[@andrewc7449]

Dragon knew Vegapunk was at punkhazard under surveillance. He could not have told Kuma to go see him. He did tell him to go see Vegapunk after the explosion on Punk Hazard where there was less security. Dragon did help Kuma and has proven to be a great leader.

[@OhioWanderer]

Odds are good, I'd imagine, that Dragon did ask Vegapunk. He also knew he was unreachable and didn't want to give Kuma false hope. An act of kindness through omission seems very Dragon-like to me.

[@TheDrinkMoxie]

I do like the idea of Dragon being the “man marked by flames” and that is not an actual tattoo but a “brand” burned onto his face by the CD’s and the reason he is the most wanted man isn’t because he is head of the RA but for a crime he committed against the CD’s

[@7thlittleleopard7]

Not likely. Not only because law and kidd would have pumped luffy for all the info he had on his father if it was dragon, but dragon's face is widespread and been in the newspaper many times - he has a bounty and we've seen it in the newspaper before. People would recognise him as Dragon before they even think about him having been marked by flames, and they'd see his face marks as tatts before burns. For someone to be called "the man marked by flames" they need to fit a few basic criteria: - their name unknown so that this is the only moniker they are known by and referred to - prominent burns or flame marks that aren't hidden - not known by another name that is more prominent

[@linkster291]

Here's an add on for the whole devil fruits have wills of their own. If they have wills of their own and find people who fit with their desires to eat them. Perhaps the only time someone eats two devil fruits is because they are willing to betray their own dreams for more power in the first place. Like the most likely people to eat multiple devil fruits, would be someone like a Don Flamingo or Belamy, but the only reason they don't is because they know it wouldn't work. Perhaps this is why Black Beard is able to do so because he's yet to betray his dreams and desires, but is working within them. It would also explain why people like Big Mom, Luffy, and Bonney are still alive, the fruit just naturally stays away from them.

[@retroace5531]

Gotta say i love the new animations your team has produced for these videos, props to your animators!

I thought the reason why Dragon didn’t tell Kuma about Vegapunk was because he was still a grudge against Vegapunk for joining the world government

[@expressiondestination6430]

I feel like Vegapunk was the last on dragons list because he knew how difficult it was to get in touch with him, amd thats why he waited to tell Kuma. Like why would you hope and wait to hear from him when you have 100's of other to talk too. And my theory is after helping Kuma, Vegapunk decides to help out the revolutionaies behind the governments back and thats what slowly builds the partnership between him and Dragon.

[@blackfang64]

I think we missed a small detail in chapter 1099, regarding Vegapunk’s method of healing Bonnie. He mentioned using a stem-cell transplant. Perhaps Kuma’s buccaneer blood could have great healing or regeneration powers, hence why he was able to withstand taking on the pain and suffering with his power. It could also explain when Bonnie aged herself chapters ago where she increased in body size and strength, perhaps she merged with Kuma’s buccaneer dna from the transplant.

[@Mephil]

Watching this a thought popped into my mind. How the hell did caesar control where the devil fruit would "respawn" when he fed it to the slime back in punk hazard? It was part of his plan obviously.

[@NinjaPopeXue]

Here's the absolute darkest, most demented it could get (I don't think Oda would go this far): the unnamed Celestial Dragon wants to continue "using" Ginny but is put off by her Sapphire Scale-diseased body. So he feeds a baby Bonney the Age-Age fruit intending to have her age up to someone who looks just like Ginny, but without disease, so he can continue "using" a Ginny look-alike. This finally pushes Ginny to attempt her escape from Mariejois in a last-ditch effort to spare her daughter this disgusting fate. It made me cringe just writing this out, so again, I doubt this is the actual truth.

[@JimmyCrackorn]

But in Luffy's case, doesn't that mean there's technically no such thing as Gomu Gomu no Mi so far? Like, wasn't that just a nickname based on its properties, and not the official name of the fruit in the first place? If he's doing the same thing with Bonnie, should have a ridiculously overpowered devil fruit awakening too. Since she can affect the age of a target, she could turn anyone to dust or a zygote in an instant if she awakens her devil fruit. If she develops powerful Haki, she could also make herself biologically immortal. Like, imagine if she could be as powerful as Shanks some day, then make herself 25 forever. As long as she isn't disabled, poisoned, or sick, she'd essentially be unstoppable so long as she isn't killed before reaching a high level of power. Her athletic ability would always be optimal - that's on top of the wisdom, education, experience, and mental maturity she'd have from living for so long. Just think about what she could do with that and the long staff, or halberd, and a pistol. It's a really interesting thought. She doesn't need to touch her target herself, she can project her ability through weapons, everything we've seen already occurred without a devil fruit awakening, she's already really powerful at only 12, she's a skilled fighter with heightened senses, she's perfect for subterfuge, age isn't a limiting factor for her combat ability, her power affects inanimate objects as well, she's clever, and her use of her ability is incredibly difficult to predict. If she learns to use Haki, she'd be ridiculously overpowered. She'd be overpowered even if Oda didn't give her Conqueror's Haki. If she had Observation Haki, she could use that to avoid Conqueror flares altogether, then fire off her ability at where her opponent will be next. When we really think about it, she actually has the potential to be the strongest overall. And if she isn't killed, the strongest literally forever.

[@lamontejackson2072]

I’ve been rewatching thriller bark recently just because my wife is going through the show for the first time. While thriller bark wasn’t one of my favorite arcs I can appreciate it a whole lot more after egghead. Kuma had to have known since Thriller Bark that Luffy was Nika. Kuma’s affiliation with vegapunk would have taught him the gomu no mi was a front. Kuma wanted to assist in the return of Nika/Joyboy. That’s why he sent the crew away at shabody and why he protected the Sunny. Kuma is secretly a bigger fan of Luffy than Barto lmao.

[@bcool9272]

That Dragon rant is without sense. He wouldn't risk the Revolution for 1 person, if he didn't try to get Morley, Iva and Inazuma from Impel Down, why would he risk the revolution for Ginny? I'm sure that the revolutionary army had guidelines not to try and save him if he got captured. Regarding Vegapunk, he shares the intel with Kuma because he feels that the security is more lax now that Vegapunk had to change locations. Dragon is very rational and therefore he decides to act if he feels he has strength enough to win. Although he saved Sabo in Goa he decided not to attack the celestial dragon because there was nothing to gain and a lot to lose.

[@cesarvictoriano8072]

What if Kuma used his Devil Fruit to push his Humanity out of him rather than him being made fully mechanical as why he’s just an automaton at this point. Rather then it being because of Vegapunk, Kuma might’ve done it because he knew it’d return to him when the time was right.

[@brabbit6262]

Yeah I agree, the devil fruit might sense Bonney's desire to reach the age she will be cured and the fruit somehow ended up in Sorbet Kingdom. It would be too ridiculous even for One Piece if Bonny magically produced toshi toshi no mi out of sheer intense thinking about it.

[@leonidas231]

Vegapunk could be evil, Cause Kuma didnt know Saturn was listening when he was talking to Kuma. And Kuma said he was willing to deal a deal with the Devil when he was talking to Vegapunk

[@awolr]

Wouldn't Dragon potentially want to keep the relationship with Vegapunk secret unless absolutely necessary? He is a tactician after all. So he actually sees with all the best doctors in the world and eventually realizes that Vegapunk is literally the only option. I could see Dragon actually not wanting Vegapunk to get his hands on Kuma. It's hinted that Dragon is in some ways distrustful of him.

[@TheWarmachine375]

I hope that Oda will reveal how did Blackbeard gain two Devil abilities and it's gonna be mind-blowing.

[@t.kersten7695]

if a devil fruit literally contains a soul, it can (or maybe even will) have a will on it´s own - at least to some degree. and maybe it´s almost like fate that (at least some) people and devil fruits find each other. the stronger your willpower and your dedication, the more likely might it be for you to get "approval" from a stronger and more powerful devil fruit. in the end, most of it turns out to be nothing more than coincidence and sheer fricking luck. but thanks to the allmighty plot-armor there might be at least some instances of fruits and users literally finding each other. and who knows... maybe Luffy was the first / the only one to ever unlock the true full potential of his own devil fruit - and so might others do as well with their own fruits. but we will never know.

[@Babylauncher3000]

There is too much conjecture here. There is just WAY too much we don’t know such as: > We don’t know how 99% of DF users obtained their fruits be they finding or buying them. When entire crews have themed fruits like the Big Mom Pirates it’s much more likely she just buys food based fruits rather than it all being coincidental. > Only Zoans are confirmed to have a will of their own. Not Paramecia or logias. > Having willpower and being able to act on it are not the same. > Willpower is a concept and straight up unquantifiable.

[@FoxFootSuni]

Actually the whole devil fruit finding the perfect users kinda also explains while no one ever eats a second devil fruit by accident. The second fruits like "Ah, occupied. I'll be on my way then." and just rolls out.

[@Cha0ticWolf]

I reckon Dragon is the man marked by flames because he likely knew Akainu in the Marines, and Akainu seems like the kinda guy to take falling out quite personally 🤜🔥🌋

[@Lupinemancer87]

As I said in another video, I like to think that Bonney was holding a regular fruit, and was just about to eat it when suddenly it turned into a Devil Fruit as the previous user died.

[@cindergodofnature6807]

Crocodile is such a good mother❤️

[@TrafalgarDSuve]

I truly find it hilarious that Kid and Killer had a hunch on who the man marked by flame would be and didn’t tell Law or Luffy and proceeded to get bodied by shanks.

[@kingluffydono7321]

I like how Oda tells us ZOAN fruits have wills of their own, and what most fans heard was that ALL devil fruits have wills of their own… 🤷‍♂️

[@Par-Blindspot]

LOL Some people act as if they grow legs and can move after Oda said that as well LOLOLOL

[@samfisher6606]

One of my picks for The Man Marked by Flames would be Scopper Gaban. I feel like if Rayleigh, Roger’s right hand had such a big presence and impact on the story, it only makes sense that Gaban should too. Rayleigh’s already had involvement in the story and the pre and post-timeskips are mirroring each other. Gaban also makes sense as the Man marked by Flames if you ascribe to the theory that the egg on the Oro Jackson holds Uranus. Because we don’t know where the Oro Jackson is now. But if Gaban is the Man Marked by Flames, then the Oro Jackson could very well be the ship he is sailing, just charred or painted black to disguise it. Because what ship would be more recognizable than the Oro Jackson, the ship of the King of the Pirates?

[@7thlittleleopard7]

Scopper is a much better pick than Dragon, the man who has his face in the newspapers every other week and is known far and wide by the name... Dragon. I'd think the man marked by flames would be visibly burned badly enough to be called that (not got a few sick face tatts). Especially as all anyone refers to him as is 'mr marked by flames' - those burns have to be in your face and his name is not known as anything else. Also, Law and Kidd could have just called him Dragon if it was him, since, well, Luffy's his son and they could pump him for info (or assume they could) on how to find him or whatever, instead of beating around the bush and being all "ooh, marked by flames guy~" It makes no sense when you think about it beyond "he has black ship and powers".

[@RustyNips]

​@@7thlittleleopard7if it's a revolutionary it would definitely be Sabo not dragon I mean Sabo has a very in your face burn mark from the celestials sinking his ship as a child

[@7thlittleleopard7]

@@RustyNips Yeah, Sabo would be more likely when it comes to the descriptor, but again, he's really well known now, and Law met the guy on Dressrosa, so he'd call him by name. I think it's likely someone we haven't met yet or have met only through reference. Could be someone deliberately picked a black ship to throw suspicion on to the Revolutionaries and Dragon in order to hide themselves better, especially if they have a fruit that can mimic Dragon's powers. That'd be a hell of a way to hide.

[@LowbrowDeluxe]

My thing with Dragon is figuring out what Oda is referencing with his name. Monkey D Luffy is clearly, especially once his DF reveal happens, a Monkey King homage. I feel like Dragon is early enough/important enough in Oda's storytelling process that he was also likely based on something but Dragon and vortexes and black ships only gets me maybe Charybdis/Scylla? An Argonauts reference would be apropos to the story, especially with the Elders lining up in a limited way with the antagonistic old greek/roman gods.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

I've heard that he's referencing one of the four guardian beasts of the cardinal directions in theories. Also, his marks aren't burny enough to be called "marked by flames" especially when everyone and their mother has seen his face in the newspaper and know him as Dragon. No-one would refer to him by such a dumb moniker if they can just call him by his very well known name instead. Especially not Law and Kidd who had _dragon's son_ right there with them to ask about him.

[@theoverlord4904]

I don't think it's Dragon but Saul who holds the poneglyph. My theory is that Dragon went to Ohara to help and picked up a frozen Saul since Aokijis attack was an ice time capsule. Since Sauls a giant he would look big on Dragons ship he would be the first one others would see then can be interpreted as it being Sauls ship versus Dragons.

[@TOPA808]

We also saw Dragon randomly making a little puff of wind with his hand, all but confirming he has some type of wind logia!

[@r.c.3813]

Dragon not doing anything is what he does best soo can imagine him being the one and not telling robin just like he didn’t tell kuma about vegapunk.

[@emilios4213]

Since we got the confirmation that he is alive, I just assumed that Jaguar D. Saul was the man marked by flames

[@evilmidget]

In regards to who Luffy detected, let's not forget that at one point, we see one of Blackbeard's ships approaching Egghead. Of course, being the opportunists that the BB Pirates are, they're probably waiting until AFTER the Navy seige.

[@ItachiUchiha_1724]

Bonney is the most op being in One piece She has insane stamina to stay in adult form for years As its something she must do willingly Her stamina is near bottomless As her base form is 12 years old Yet she constantly is in adult form using stamina All df abilities take stamina But doing something like bonney constantly being adult form 24/7 for years is crazy

[@Moonllama2]

Ace and his second in command deuce did that actually. ace bit a fraction of a second earlier so he got the powers and deuce just got to eat a disgusting fruit.

[@SlimeKingK]

What I think would be interesting, would be that Devil Fruits can reincarnate while still in fruit form. Fruits do go rotten after all, maybe Devil Fruits just die slower. or maybe it was smushed or lost to the sea and reincarnated after that. As they manifest in fruit and also somehow with desire... perhaps the sea swallowed the last fruit, or the last fruit user, and then the desire for that specific fruit manifested into a sorbet-dwelling fruit.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

I want to know how many birds and insects out there have devil fruit powers and no-one knows. Random sparrow with the power to control the earth itself, just building a nest and having babies. Some stork is unfathomably lucky when it looks for food because it has the luck luck fruit. A very confused eagle turns into a frog every few days. There's an immortal mosquito who ate the immortality fruit who continuously bugs this one guy every night and the man swears it's the same damn mozzie but has no idea just how true that is.

[@McDudes]

Everyone seem to have the perfect devil fruits because Oda is such an amazing and creative character designer and writer that it just makes sense. It's crazy how he make up the perfect power and personality combinations over and over, year after year, decade after decade.

[@The_anime_toast]

[@eliaspanayi3465]

It diddnt do anything

[@Justin-oq3ng]

[@d370ur]

It was impossible to get to Vegapunk before now because he was working with the marines and under heavy guard on Punk Hazard. They specifically make a mention of there not being as much security on EggHead since it’s a new base. It Vegapunk on PH was easily accessible, they would have just went there all along.

[@sheabutterfly]

I guess why dragon didn't went to rescue ginny or iva on prison is because rev army has a rule. They are an organized group. The moment they sign in, it means they put their life on the line for the Greater good. If one is captured, the captive member's priority is to survive till the right time to escape. Unlike pirates who doesn't care for casualties and only do things for their crew, rev army do care for casualties and what is good for the many.

[@deving9799]

imo: Ginny couldn't be rescued due to the limitations of manpower at that time. Iva & Inazuma were intentionally left at level 5.5 created by Morley so that they could gather more RA followers

[@dogcop3611]

I think any fruit might be drawn by the desire of potential users once they have to spawn in the world again. but a zoan like Nika might have the will to avoid users like the government

[@blope_]

Man I really feel for Kuma, to the point that my current head-cannon is that the Cyborg Kuma isnt the real one. And that the real Kuma is the one that they contacted at the start of Egghead. I just want him to be happy 😔

[@venomturtle17]

It would be a very neat parallel with Zou if Dragon was protecting someone either who has, or has knowledge of the final road poneglyph. Then the question becomes "who is Dragon protecting?" Maybe Rocks?

[@tristanalain9239]

Dragon even said in the damn chapter he couldn't recommend sending Kuma to Vegapunk because he was on Punk Hazzard which was so heavily guarded it would have basically been useless information at best,or a suicide suggestion at worse. When he learned Vegapunk had moved and guard was lighter (most likely) and that Kuma was still hunting a cure, he immediately gave him the information,said why he didn't before and suggested Kuma haul ass. I am getting so annoyed with people not understanding Dragon

[@livingtribunal9329]

I think that the man marked by the flames is definitely dragon and this flame is somehow related to Akainu so potentially we could see Dragon/Akainu reunion or Akainu changing his sides against World government

[@courage1363]

Not likely because people would kill Luffys dad in a heartbeat, so it still think its somebody else like Saul since he has ice burns from Kuzan's devil fruit power that froze Saul at the time.

[@mohdshahariar5833]

Delusional to think Akainu would change sides, he's a dog to the government, hence in his name "inu", which in english is Red dog

[@CrazeMFrs]

I liked my own comment

[@Apsonarmy]

First

[@claudeyaz]

That comic panel where Kuma is getting insulted by gecko Moria, and getting called a dog of the government, is that Kuma really tightly gripping in his fist and anger?

[@SuddenlySlanted]

What if as a final act, Kuma extracts all of his pain that he's experienced over the course of his life (which is by far the most anyones ever felt in the series) and threw it at Saturn

[@obeseoverlold]

If Dragon really is the man marked by flames, then when Blackbeard attacked Baltigo wouldn't he have connected all the dots and clues (black ship, marks on his face) and asked Dragon about the Road Poneglyph he has? Also, wouldn't he have told Robin about it? It just seems way too convenient and a huge red herring for it to be true, but it's a possibility indeed...

[@PlagueOfGripes]

The thing I'm most confused about is why Kuma's power can't separate the concept of Bonney's disease from her body. Sure, it would need to go somewhere, but it could go into the body of something that was dying anyway. Maybe Kuma can only take away what will always be part of you, like pain or memory. Or maybe the bubbles only work on aspects of the mind?

[@7thlittleleopard7]

Maybe it can't remove physical components of a body. Like, it couldn't pull a heart out or blood cells, for example - so while he could remove any pain or non-physical symptoms of it, he couldn't remove the actual disease. there's a reason the old folks kept coming back - he couldn't remove the actual issues causing them pain, just the pain and side effects.

[@random3x70]

Thing with Kuma’s power he wouldn’t need precise coordinates to travel/explore himself. In the anime at least we saw Luffy in the paw bubble flying to Amazon Lilly. Kuma could just fly in the right direction when exploring and redirect himself down onto an island when he sees it. Afaik there’s nothing to say Kuma like people he sends flying can’t redirect midway.

[@USSDrake]

Two Quick questions, 1. Do Devil Fruits themselves float or sink? 2. If a DF can be given to an object, can you give a Zoan fruit to a normal fruit?

[@deving9799]

this man right here asking the 1000 IQ questions

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

That’s something I always wondered about how certain characters and crews just have the perfect df for their name like the fact that every member of the beast pirates just happens to have a zoan df, Is it completely coincidence or did kaido only recruit people with a zoan df. But then there’s the big mom pirates who all happen to have a food related df and their names almost always match their abilities, this had to be the biggest coincidence ever cause they’re all children of big mom so we know she didn’t just recruit specific df users and smoothie and crackers dfs just happen to match their names, and perosperos name means lick it’s just too perfect. And smoker who’s name and the fact that he chain smokes cigars 2 at a time which nobody would ever do just happened to get the smoke smoke fruit. I always wondered did all of these people just coincidentally get the most fitting df or did they change their names and personalities to fit their df?

[@ashb5103]

So since the Sapphires Scale disease will kill you not just by sunlight but also as you age so since we've seen Bonnie age up a couple of times in this chapter so wouldnt the disease age up with her body and killing her instantly . The only solution for this problem is that she is unconsciously de aging her disease when she grows older so it doesn't out right kill her adding to the idea that devil fruits have a will of their own and also try to protect their user too. But this just means Kuma turning into a Cyborg was a lost cause since if she could have halted the progress of the disease with her devil fruit. However that goes against the themes of one piece of freedom and adventure as the sunlight affect would still hit her so she would essentially still be forced to stay inside in darkness forever which is also pretty bad

[@saltybaker]

I love the animated segments in this one!

[@ladonmccabe]

I think the reason that Dragon didnt mention the poneglyph (if he does have it), is because Dragon knew that if Robin went back to Luffy, then Robin would inevitably bring Luffy to Dragon to get it. If Robin already seen the poneglyph, there would be no need to see Dragon.

tbh, dragon being the key for finding the one piece would actually be an explanation why he is the most wanted man by the WG. marked by flamed could mean that he has a branding and that it's not a tattoo on his face.

[@viewtifulgrave]

Saint Topman specifically said that zoan devil fruits have wills of their own not all devil fruits. You even showed the exact panel where he said that line. It was part reason why the gomu gummy no mi was retcon’d to be a zoan.

[@Par-Blindspot]

Was the Gomu Gomu really a retcon?

It makes perfect sense that Dragon is the man marked by fire/flames. The tattoo on his face, plus the fact that the mythical dragon creatures are known for their fires.

[@dustinmajor697]

New edit-ing looks awesome! Very cool Mr KZbin man

[@matthewflora5362]

In this chapter, Dragon mentions to Kuma about the Punk Hazard explosion, and that security around Vegapunk is probably lighter at this point, given the hassle of moving his lab. Note that Kuma and Bonney meet Vegapunk not on Punk Hazard, but on Marine Science Base 8. Likely, he didn't mention Vegapunk earlier because, until that point, the security around him was likely too thick to get through.

[@TheDefectiveAI]

Honestly I just thought Bonney snuck out of the church one night to explore the local forest and happened upon it.

[@Spika94]

To be fair, Dragon is not a Doctor (as far as we know), and he might not think that ONLY Vegapunk can cure it.

[@FenrrixV1]

to @GrandLineReview Just theory, Dragon being red herring makes just more like foreshadowing something bigger. They just had black ships and marks on body AND similar powers. For example, what if the man got, lets call it Uzu Uzu no Mi (Vortex Vortex Fruit) that allows him to create vortexes but on enything, it could be vortex of air, water, earth or even vortex someones body or his own akin to Buffalo from Doflamingo crew. It would not be the first time when we got introduces to fruit with similar power but different approach or even superior versions like smoke fruit to gas fruit. PS: It could be great homage to that creepy yet intriguing manga called Uzumaki and make user of this power one of most mysterious and important persons in the world would be pretty Oda style. Heck, even Luffy might got too close to that man ship without even realizing it and got swallowed in the fist chapter :D

[@bootyheir7995]

Dragon, as a Pacifist, really knows the meaning of “Actions have Consequences” and that’s why he chooses certain times to make a move or give intel… it makes me think that he knows more than he lets on but doesn’t tell it to too many people cuz there’s a high chance that someone screw you over if they’re secretly working for the Government. Think about how many times that’s happened.. Dragon knows
