Talk:Monkey D. Dragon

Full name
Same goes for Garp but, shouldn't we just have it as Dragon? Just to prevent too many spoilers? in a yea rmaybe when it starts to be more common knowledge the full name might be more appropriate. Cody2526 23:50, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree. Keeping their names simple is the only spoiler precaution we need to do. One-Winged Hawk 14:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

No, I'm afried. We'll like him to have his full name displayed


 * Actually, it might be more advisable to use just the common names than their full names. I mean their full names are really big spoilers. No matter how many spoiler tags one puts on their pages, anyone who sees "Monkey D." as part of an article name would right away deduce right away that they're related to Luffy without even reading the article itself since there's a clear connection unlike the other D's. Also, you know it's kinda strange that we use Gold Roger, Aokiji, and such here instead of their real names merely on the common sense that they're more common without even searching. When you think about it using that logic, Garp and Dragon alone will always be the common names for these two, to both those old and new to One Piece.Mugiwara Franky 07:26, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Bounties
The article mentions that Dragon's bounty is 500 million berri, Shanks' is 700 million and Whitebeard's is 1 billion and 200 million. But none of these bounty values are displayed in any of the the respective character's article, and Donquixote Doflamingo's article mentions that his bounty of 340 million berri is the "highest seen so far in One Piece". Did the person who add this information simply make it all up? 189.18.66.4 02:20, 18 December 2008 (UTC) Kelvets


 * I am pretty sure whoever said that made it up as doflamingo has the highest confirmed bounty in One Piece. The stooge


 * Argh! Dealt with now, but if you see these thing, remove them. It's so common to put fake bounties, its not even funny anymore: mythbusters for more detail. Anything written on our mythbusters page, should never make it on a page. In the mean time, every confirmed bounty is listed on the bounties page. One-Winged Hawk 13:00, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Question
hi

Dragon vs. Whitebeard
Forum:Index/One Piece Manga

Moved to forum. One-Winged Hawk 09:19, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Dangerous
Where is it said that he's the most dangerous man in the world? Having the highest bounty doesn't prove that, since bounty refers largely to threat level, not just strength.--24.255.171.220 02:32, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Actaully yes he is. It states somewhere that his ideals make him a dangerous man. He is one of the few people who could toppel countries and about the only one who is willing. One-Winged Hawk 07:04, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

It'd still be nice to get a specific quote, and I wouldn't buy it if all they said was "He's a dangerous man".--24.255.171.220 02:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I think they meant "dangerous man", by having the power to manipulate any country in the World Government and turning it against them. --222.254.164.17 23:04, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

I believe that Dragon is indeed a very "dangerous" man, since he is the father of Luffy and that he is the leader of the Revolutionaries, I can tell that he is very strong.--Eternity Kidd 05:13, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Devil Fruit
Doesnt Dragon has some kind of devil fruit like in loguetown the strong whirlwinds and the lightning struck on buggy? i know its not proven but isnt it to much of a coincedence that dragon appears and suddenly the weather completely supports luffy?--Pyarox 23:41, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * That's a big question indeed. The problem however is that its really unclear if Dragon was the one controlling the winds. He was just standing there doing nothing noticeable. It's too much of a coincidence that Luffy was helped by the storm when Dragon was there, however nothing points to it being Dragon other than his appearance.Mugiwara Franky 02:26, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * My geuss is that Dragon has a devil fruit with weather abilites since he has controlled lightning, rain, and wind. Or it may be a storm fruit.--Kurai the Tsukikage 17:49, 6 June 2011

 * I'm guessing 90% that Dragon weilds a Wind/or Storm logia fruit. All he has done, points to it right? that Wind blast in Loguetownwhen dragon arrived shattered cannons, sent people and objects flying and obliterated windows. was Very destructive. But it could be a paramecia. But high chance he has a fruit no doubt. :/
 * Speculation such as this is not for talks, but for blogs or forums, if you wish to speculate somewhere, make a forum or a blog about it, or find an existing one and comment there

Attack List
Somewhere in the past, I keep reading about Dragon saying something like "Wind Blast". Does this deserve to be put into an Attack List? I heard something that it is a mistranslation in the VIZ version or something. Can someone verify what Dragon said in the ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION of the manga? Yatanogarasu 17:27, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I do notice, with temptations, we do tend to put down as a Devil Fruit. However, I'm just asking about the "Wind Blast" theory. Also, even if Dragon DID cause the storm (lightning bolt that struck down Buggy, heavy rain in town, and a blast of wind at the Marines), how can we tell it is a wind-based Devil Fruit? It could be like Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi, causes earthquakes but not controlling the earth element. It could be a weather or storm creating Paramecia Devil Fruit, not a wind Logia. I mean, there are many other characters that can manipulate the weather, rather than just the wind. I hope this would discourage the heavy believe in wind-based Devil Fruit. Yatanogarasu 17:36, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I mean, IF it were a wind based power, how would he be able to cause those other elements (lightning bolt = Goro Goro no Mi, rain = water)? This makes the wind theory even less plausible. Yatanogarasu 17:46, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Controlling the wind would allow someone to encourage certain weather patterns to form by manipulating atmospheric pressure. While it would be possible to create a storm in such a way, getting lightning to strike a specific spot at a specific time would be extremely difficult to manage, but possible by pushing charged clouds over the spot and "rubbing them together" to kick-start the bolt's release. Creating an area of saturated rain to further guide the bolt through conduction would also help to an extent, but, although Luffy is an insulator, they were on a metal tower and Buggy was waving a sword around, so it was a prime target for a strike anyway. Just putting a storm cloud in place would have probably been enough. nub 17:48, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

For the attack, that seems to have been a mistranslation or something. As to what Dragon's Devil Fruit powers might be, that question can only be asked only after it is confirmed whether or not Dragon has a Devil Fruit.Mugiwara Franky 07:03, November 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but what was it he said in the original Japanese version? Did he name an attack, or say something like "take this"? Yatanogarasu 23:10, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not exactly sure what he said. In the anime, he apparently said nothing. In the manga, all I know of are early bad translations of One Piece involving the said scene. We may need to find a raw of the chapter and find someone who can properly translate it.Mugiwara Franky 07:39, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

i think that he might have a weather control fruit paramecia thats why he can control the wind to blow, the lightning....

I think he uses a wind logia, a weather paramecia seems to much large scale, to weird. But with a wind logia, he could possibly control the weather slightly, since the wind affects it, either trough packing the clouds (made of warm and cold wind) and making them thunder or so. The weather fruit seems to be able to do more than one thing, which would be very unusuall, think about it, is there even one fruit that does more than one single thing? Except whitebeards then, he makes different things, but they are all quakes. The weather fruit would do many things, thunder, rain, wind, to large scale. But the wind fruit would simply use wind tocontrol the weather, an UPGRADE, as it seems, like Luffy made his gear 2nd. Now all of a sudden i remembered Morias and Peronas fruits... Which makes more than one simple thing... D´oh! But i would prefer if he had wind fruit, since it is one of the two remaining "obvious" logias (the elements, earth and wind, sound is missing to, but its not obvious, its as unpredicted as the light-fruit), and the Weather fruit seems pretty boring, we already have Nami, who uses weather as her special technique.79.102.35.18Confusedmember

in the manga, he said storm a and the gust of wind came and blew away the marines and smoker who was about to capture luffy. .Me1


 * Please don't fall for the crappy early scans with bad image resolution and jpeg artifacts.
 * In the Japanese Original Version he doesn't say a word. It's the Marines that were blown away that shouted: 突風でァ!!!! -> Toppuu de(a)!!!! -> A squall!!!! It just doesn't fit that he shouts an attack name in this situation.
 * He's just one of those insanely super-strong guys that don't bother naming attacks anymore like Hawkeye and Whitebeard... -- [ defchris ] · [ Diskussion ] · http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/intern/de/images/thumb/a/a4/C2.png/15px-C2.png · 22:15, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Considering the huge differences in power that exist between Paramecias and the types of Zoans, I don't think a class of Logia that could control multiple aspects of something natural would be too unlikely; the literal translation of "nature system" may even suggest it. Akainu might have one if being able to alter the density, viscosity and heat of magma is fair game for his ability as long as it stays molten. By the same token, if Dragon has a storm Logia, then he may be able to summon powerful winds, direct lightning strikes and manipulate rain as long as what he does occurs within the "natural system" of the storm; despite being able to control the multiple "elements" that make up a storm around him, though he would likely only able to transform into and create something like charged, extremely humid clouds. Having to create the storm before attacking effectively instead of causing direct damage with hazardous contact would be one weakness; losing control over an aspect of the storm to a Logia of that specific element would be another. Though, honestly, it would just be cooler if two D's sharing a similar short-term goal (Enter the Grand Line/Make sure Luffy enters the Grand Line) in proximity to one another causes fate to bend in their favor. nub 17:48, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Man in Chapter 0
Are we sure that's Dragon? Sure, that's what I thought when I first looked at him, but he doesn't have the tattoos or lines under his eyes. Also, he's scowling, something he never does. The Pope 00:55, November 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Some have suggested it was Kuma, but in 20 years things change. Moria is VERY different now to himself 22 years ago. One-Winged Hawk 08:12, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that's Dragon cause of the way he wears his cape as well as his face and about the tattoo he simply didn't have it at the time (remember this was 22 years before the main storyline). Dragon is scowling because he just witnessed the death of a fellow D I doubt he'd be smiling in that situation.

Complete Article Lock Please?
We've got a small edit war going on with registered users, this page needs to be locked for (and only) a day or two until we get things sorted or at least defer the war. One-Winged Hawk 14:04, March 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you. One-Winged Hawk 14:22, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Before you lock the page, why don't you make sure it's at least grammatically correct? Please fix this sentence under the "Revolutionaries" section...it needs proper noun capitalization: "Also, after zoro had taken luffy's pain bubble, Bartholomew Kuma remarked "He has a good crew, i'd expect nothing less from your son, Dragon."" SteveUrkel 22:14, March 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, I only asked for a few days, MF has put the lock on for a week while more then I wanted. It should be wearing off in 3 days time anyway, by the looks of it no one has even mentioned the small edit war, so I presume its long over. :-/ One-Winged Hawk 23:57, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Noble?
Dragon said he was born in Goa Kingdom, like Sabo. Doesn't that make him (and to an extension, Luffy and Garp) a Noble? Yatanogarasu 11:32, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * All citizens of a kingdom are not Nobles. If he was born in the High town maybe we could say that but we don't know yet. Kdom 11:59, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

No REAL proof of Haki
It's wrong to state that Dragon has Haki based on what happend with Smoker as Dragon only touched his Jutte and Smoker wasn't even in smoke form at the time.DreamsDreams 19:12, December 17, 2010 (UTC)DreamsDreams


 * In episode 479 of the anime after Luffy uses his Haoshoku Haki, Garp makes a comment along the lines of 'so he did inherit it after all' and Vice Admiral Doberman says that he is the son of Dragon and they should have known he would have it too. These comments very strongly suggest that Dragon possesses Haoshoku Haki and possibly Garp as well.Neruzian 09:53, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * "Suggest" and "possibly" are two words we don't need. He has shown no sign of haki. Leave it out. 13:41, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * What about when he grabbed smoker Straw Hat Boy 13:48, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * He never touched Smoker. 13:51, February 16, 2012 (UTC)
