Dragon Number Twenty-One[2] is a dragon created by Vegapunk which resides on Punk Hazard. It was designed to be smaller than Vegapunk's first successful dragon, Dragon Number Thirteen, giving it more quickness.
It is a minor antagonist in the Punk Hazard Arc.
Appearance[]
Dragon Number Twenty-One is a green western dragon with dark green spots. It is significantly smaller than Dragon Number Thirteen, being about slightly bigger than a horse. It possesses a pair of wings, a long tail, and short stubby legs, as well as a pair of white horns on its head and a row of black spikes running down its back and tail.
Personality[]
Dragon Number Twenty-One is a brutish and violent dragon that will attack any intruder it sees with extreme force, intending to eat them. It is intelligent enough to know when to flee from danger, and also ceased attacking Brook after realizing there was no meat on the pirate's body.[3]
Abilities and Powers[]
Dragon Number Twenty-One running from the Shinokuni gas.
According to Brownbeard, Dragon Number Twenty-One is an improved model from Vegapunk's earlier, bigger dragons like Dragon Number Thirteen, as it is both faster and more durable. It can fly and breathe powerful streams of fire, and its teeth are capable of biting through solid steel with ease.[4] Despite its imposing attributes, it was swiftly defeated by Kin'emon and Brook without significant trouble,[3] and was also afraid of Vergo.[4]
While under Caesar's control, the dragon was given sedatives for taming which prevented it from flying.[5] However, it was still very fast in this state as it successfully ran away from the oncoming Shinokuni gas even when a few of the Straw Hat Pirates forced it to carry them.[6]
History[]
Past[]
Dragon Number Twenty-One was created by Vegapunk over four years ago, following the success of Dragon Number Thirteen. Four years ago, when Caesar Clown detonated a chemical weapon on the island, the dragon was abandoned. When Caesar and his men returned to the island a year later, the dragon began serving them.
Dressrosa Saga[]
Punk Hazard Arc[]
Dragon Number Twenty-One transported a group of Caesar's lab workers to have them set a large candy outside for Smiley to eat and become the weapon Shinokuni.[1] Once it transformed, the dragon started fleeing and was chased down by Roronoa Zoro, Sanji (in Nami's body), Brook, and Kin'emon. Sanji was able to catch up to it, forcing it to carry the rest of them back to the lab which they successfully entered.[6]
The dragon is cut down by Brook and Kin'emon.
The dragon was left on its own following this and its sedatives soon wore off, causing it to start attacking the G-5 Marines in the corridor between Sections A and B. However, the arrival of Vergo scared the dragon away and sent it flying into Section B, where it attacked the Straw Hat Pirates and Brownbeard.[4] The dragon set the entire room ablaze with its fire breath, but was subdued by combined attacks from Nami, Usopp, and Robin. It remained defiant and continued breathing fire, but Kin'emon was able to cut through the stream before he and Brook successfully cut down the dragon with simultaneous sword strikes. Kin'emon and Brook then stomped on the incapacitated dragon in anger.[3] It is unknown what became of Dragon Number Twenty-One after Shinokuni got into the lab.
