I think it is a perfect portrayal of a successful revolutionary. Especially the scenes with the snails. Preparing a revolution is about, waiting, communication, publishing, discussion, and preparations. Most times in hiding, sometimes taking losses. If an organization like this would be mainly driven by impulse it would fail. For sure it will also need its symbols, the shiny stars, and heroes but they are often more mascots than changing the fait of history in the long term.

Yet the Rev Army is given nothing and skipped over every chance he can get

[@Weaponator18]

I don't know about regrets, but I agree that Oda has no idea what to do with Dragon. There may have been another plan for Dragon early in the series that has since been shelved due to how long One Piece has gotten. But all of the 'assistance from the shadows' or 'the Navy can't fully go after Luffy because Dragon's army is doing shit to keep them from getting in the way' moments seem to be going to Shanks instead. So what else is there for him to do?

[@nerdcorner2680]

@@Weaponator18 That’s a good theory on what his original role should have been. Especially because Ace was supposed to be Luffy’s brother so him saving Luffy from the war instead of Shanks would fit.

Baltigo is just a rock, the Rev Army has no theme between the characters (Sabo and the 4 Commanders have a steam punk aestetic but Dragon and Iva lack this and it goes no deeper), and Dragon doesn’t have any interesting characteristics other than he loves Luffy but can’t do anything about it due to his job (which was only introduced a few chapters ago)

[@nathanl8622]

Post-timeskip Akainu's been stuck behind a desk (where it's clear he wants to be more active and gets frustrated having to delegate everything), but he has definite feats to his name before that point. It's clear that Dragon has been active in the past, and has a plan we will see eventually, but when he's onscreen it's mostly him reacting to things other people do. And he picks his fights very carefully, which doesn't help his case--rescuing Ginny would've been a bad move strategically, but in a story where characters will move heaven and earth to save their friends it doesn't make him look good. "Dragon does nothing" is a meme, but it does point to a potentially shaky spot in One Piece's storytelling. Teasing powerful characters through reputation and rare appearances is effective, but it gets less effective the more they appear without doing something to back up the hype. People used to make the same joke about Shanks, until we got to see him actually flex a little.

Dragon being a Victorious fan needs to become canon.

Zoro: Nothing Happened! Dragon: And I took that personally

[@justinsartor1251]

If Dragon became the most wanted man by doing nothing, imagine how the WG would react if he did something.

[@astron1973]

i habe a theory that dragon can kinda "see" something that is in contact with the wind. but that requires a lot of concentration, so thats why he doesn nothing most of the time, he is "feeling " the things around the world.

[@TheBadasssnoopy]

The idea of Dragon being a Victorious fan and watching it instead of going to Marineford is so amusing to me for some reason

[@cambiso1731990]

one flashback and this narrative is done

[@DeathFORcameO]

I'm curious how Oda will represent Dragon's backstory.

[@ARKGAMING]

14:59 "Actions speak louder than words, and when it comes to dragon, he speaks like a mute" is now my favorite quote and I want it on a shirt

[@SuperFlik]

I'm sure once we get Dragon's backstory it'll be him doing so many things

[@capvinay]

12:52 it is revolutionary army, he can't go with pirates to attack navy he can't be aligned with pirates . he needs common people at his side if he wants to go against govt,it would be bad for him diplomatically.

[@shrekislove1509]

The thing about Dragon defenders is that they claim he is s cool-headed master strategist whose inaction is part of his grand plan, but there has never been any dialogue to indicate that he is particularly intelligent or insightful. I mean maybe he's the Blackbeard of strategy and all his intelligence is off-panel.

[@mrmangolele8574]

He's the leader of a revolution, freeing countless nations and building his army to free EVERYONE who've been oppressed by the World Government permanently. I understand that people are frustrated by him not doing anything with the Ginny incident, but look at it from this point of view: 1) The year before her capture, Fisher Tiger freed the slaves that were there, so they probably increased the security of Mary Joa. 2) The revolutionary army was still in its infancy. Therefore, they didn't have enough manpower, and the 4 revolutionary commanders were still young/weren't recruited yet, so those stealth abilities aren't available. 3) The troops were already stretched out fighting in different countries, and those wars would occur for years sometimes. 4) Funding was low at the time, so they couldn't just waste it saving 1 person. How would that reflect on Dragon? That would seem like all those other revolutionaries' lives that were probably kidnapped/killed weren't as valuable as Ginny's. 5) The timing, when this news came, they were participating in wars so they had their hands full plus by the time the news came to Dragon's desk, the ship might've been too far to catch/already arrived in Mary Joa.

[@cnote1233]

Not to diminish the accomplishments of Fisher Tiger but he did not climb the Red Line. The public story was that he climbed it because it was not common knowledge that he was a slave. He escaped from the Holy Land and saved fellow slaves along the way. Additionally, it is much easier to cause chaos from within than invade.

[@sabargultom6324]

yeah i think oda did injustice on writing dragon i used to see dragon and shanks on same level because they both an important character that going take huge part on one piece finale but everytime shanks make appearance he doing something great meanwhile dragon either talk to himself or receiving reports

[@MisterPrince01]

I'm convinced that Dragon will have an extremely epic moment in the story. Oda usually holds back the really big characters' moments. We didn't even see Shanks have a named attack until last year. Either way he still does extremely important work, liberating entire nations. He just doesn't have the Luffy "guns blazing" approach to things.

[@sk8rhog]

[@t.kersten7695]

so basically: Dragon is like Perry the Platypus. everyone thinks he does nothing and most people do not even realize the things he has done. poor Agent "D" 🙂

[@rushodi]

he didn't want Kuma to know about Vegapunk cuz he'll lose an important asset to the RA. But within 4 years of insistance, Dragon caved

[@kozaky6584]

...he lost an important asset when he let Kuma leave by NOT telling him about Vegapunk.

[@jeffiroth2794]

I would argue that Dragon has done more than anyone. His army freed 8 different nations plus Kuma from marijois and discovered that they're was a king of the world. None of that would've happened without Dragon. His feats are just mainly offscreen. I think his devil fruit has something to do with fate and he knows he can only make moves at specific times. That would be cool anyway and he's saving it for some big moment.

Plausibly, he knew the Godknights hadn't been deployed at Marineford. He probably knew they didn't have the power for a full on attack on Mariegeoise against them.

[@azadisoleil6319]

In his defense, leading a revolution to overthrow the government is a huge 5D chess game. You can’t be reckless. Hes probably being smart.

[@mainboysmusic6985]

@@jjlove2725 ah yes. 90% of their forces being sent to Marineford. Many of their soldiers being demoralized from trauma, completely exhausted, and outright dead. The fleet admiral stepping down soon after. One Admiral quitting while the other becomes fleet admiral whilst also recovering. So you got: -A multitude of damaged soldiers of all ranks -Only 1 admiral -An injured fleet admiral -A massive increase in pirate mischief -Impel Down has had a huge break out -Marineford is in shambles I cannot stress enough how this is quite literally a very weak point for them. Iva even made it back to the revolutionary army. But ah yes, apparently it's stupid to attack them at this point, wait for the enemy to get their full strength back... of course.

Dragon needs to pull up on Egghead for his son

[@idanluz2]

imagine he has some sort of power that prevents him from acting or else he won't be able to defend luffy or something

[@amlvification]

My read is that Dragon is a Daoist. As a daoist he is an almost 80% pure embodiment of Wu Wei or effortless action....and they said that year I spent studying Daoism in college wouldn't have any practical applications....just took 20 years

[@Rykiz_Vidz]

I'm still trying to figure out how you become the head of a massive criminal revolutionary army, and the most wanted man in the world when (from what we see) he does absolutely nothing. Kinda makes me wonder if the position and status just sort of fell into his lap while he was busy doing nothing. Right time right place sorta thing lol

[@debbythespacechicken]

Are you caught up in the manga? We saw Dragon in the frontline when the RA was just starting. Not much weapons and supply but he's still there helped liberate kingdoms, now that the Organization is huge and he's acting like the Fleet Admiral we gonna trash him? Generals were once privates who were in the frontline risking their own lives. Now, Dragon have to make sure that the people they liberated won't fall back to the enemies and accomplish their goal.

Got a new theory, ZIG (zoro is joyboy) Ppl think liffy is joyboy, just cause he got the sun god fruit. But i believe joyboy to be more like roger. Had no df, and wielded a sword, will go to laughtale. And who fits the role better than the out favorite and future greatest swordsman ever. RORONOA.D.ZORO

[@doodle3115]

Maybe dragon has a wind fruit that also has some ability called "winds of fate" or something, and he can see what happens in the future based on certain actions. So it somehow told him that kuma needed to visit those islands "for the sake of the future"

[@timurjack8773]

The thing is, Dragon knows if he shows attachments towards others, Government will use it against him. He also knows he doesn't have Luffy's Plot Armor, if he goes after to save his friends his goal of revolution won't happen. I see Dragon and Black Beard similar, while Dragon is doing what he do for saving people, they both have goals and can't allow it for risking it for anyone.

[@rianime9371]

They didn't do shit when Ginny got captured, which was pretty depressing. Because they knew what was happening to Ginny. But that's the thing about Revolutionary army, they need to work strategically, since if they pull a WhiteBeard that would mean their forces are destroyed. So anyone who gets captured is a person they abandon, it's like spies, when they get captured, either you kill yourself and shut your mouth or go through the torture and still say nothing. Bascially he has a ninja army, and can't be attached to his subordinates.

[@markuscandler7001]

Yooo why is Kuma absolutely packing at 7:57.
