Btw, it's ironic that most of the people who were gassing Leuven for his stance against WG are actually a 'Dragon haters', even though he's the only one who built a fuckin army to oppose the WG!! Lol its jus OP fandom after all
#ONEPIECE
Just thinking that this would have been Dragon's life if he didn't have a very pure heart to make him think about the women and children oppressed around the world, makes me sad and brings me to tears 💔💔💔
Big Mom wanted to marry Lola to Loki to gain access to the warriors of Elbaph, the ancient Gaileila band of destroyers & Loki's might, who happens to be Nidhoggr and wields Ragnir. Elbaph truly is the strongest nation out there, it's only a matter of time!
Loki truly is HIM
#ONEPIECE
The war of regular armies & disruption of WG’ global trade in an organized way, requires a 'strategic mindset' and ability to plan for a long-term war
Rocks didnt possess such a mindset, whereas Dragon did! Thats why Dragon waged 22 years of cold war to prepare for it

This chapter gave us a great insight into the danger posed by nations that refuse or are unable to pay the Celestial Tribute. The WG will demand their people as slaves, or bring ruin down on them.
With this in mind, it adds a lot of depth and significance to the recent actions of the Revolutionary Army, and the impact of the Eight Nation Rebellion.
7/8 of the nations that succeeded in their rebellions have now declared that they will refuse to pay the tributes. This unprecedented action has made a significant hole in the WG's finances.
This helps us to understand just how much organisation these rebellions require.
Lady Candelle likely suffered the same fate as Ginny.
1. "One time, a ship from the World Government washed up on Esperia."
Shuri: "Celestial Dragons?"
2. "Lady Candelle was bedridden for several months after that."
3. "That was only the precursor to wonderful news, Princess Shuri!!"
4. "Prince Reuven ascended to the throne, became king, and married Lady Candelle."
5. "Then Princess Shuri was born."
Celestial Dragons are known for taking women hostage and forcing them into marriages. Ginny is a clear example...
1. A Celestial Dragon takes Ginny hostage.
2. She disappears for two years.
3. She returns with a baby and suffering from a disease.
4. Kuma ends up raising the daughter she had with a Celestial Dragon.
Given those parallels, it's not crazy to say that Lady Candelle may have suffered a similar fate.
And Imu is so twisted that, in Chapter 1155, when Xebec infiltrates the Holy Land, Princess Shuri is shown serving him. Coincidentally, she has blue hair just like Queen Lily & Vivi. This dude is seriously obsessed with blue haired royal princesses.

Speaking of the tribute (the main problem for Esperia kingdom). It's worth mentioning that Dragon is now taking all the 'heavenly tribute taxes' from the countries while imposing the blockade on Marijoa, by cutting off all supplies !!
DRAGON IS MAKING HISTORY 🤯🔥
I know we're all eager to find out who the "Man Marked by Flames" is, but a lot of people seem to be overlooking some key details.
He travels on a "pitch black ship".
Anyone who sails near him gets caught in a giant vortex.
The vortex may be caused by a Devil Fruit power.
He might have ties to the World Government.
Right now, my top candidate is Monkey D. Dragon.
The Wind Granma appears to be a "pitch black ship".
Dragon likely has a weather or wind based Devil fruit as we seen in Logue Town.
He was once part of the Marines, giving him a connection to the government.
Robin spent her time skip with Dragon and the Revolutionaries, and may have learned about the final Road Poneglyph, Sun God Nika, and the return of Joyboy.
For now, Dragon checks more boxes than anyone else.

Brook encountered the darkness of the World Government when he was just 28 years old.
The Marines, a Gorosei, a Knight of God (possibly), and a royalty possessed by Imu, who was very close to him.
Brook is now 90 years old.
At that time, the rest of the Straw Hat crew hadn't even been born yet.
🔹 Jinbe (46) would not be born for another 16 years.
🔹 Franky (36) would not be born for another 26 years.
🔹 Robin (30) would not be born for another 32 years.
🔹 Zoro and Sanji (21) would not be born for another 41 years.
🔹 Nami (20) would not be born for another 42 years.
🔹 Luffy and Usopp (19) would not be born for another 43 years.
🔹 Chopper (17) would not be born for another 45 years.
He grew up in poverty, yet maintained a positive outlook despite life's hardships.
Even at a young age, he displayed loyalty, honor, and gratitude—traits that remained with him throughout his entire life.
He lost his benefactors, his home kingdom, and his ward.
He became a pirate and joined the Rumbar Pirates under Captain Yorki.
He met Laboon and formed a lifelong friendship with him. He promised to return after sailing across the Grand Line.
But the Grand Line showed no mercy.
His crew lost to the challenge. He watched his crewmates, the Rumbar Pirates perish before his eyes until he was the last one left.
Then he died as well.
His Devil Fruit, the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) activated, but his soul became lost in the Florian Triangle. It wandered aimlessly for an entire year before finally finding its way back to his body.
By then, his body had decayed into a skeleton.
He came back to life, only to spend decades alone in the Florian Triangle.
Then he lost his shadow.
Eventually, one fateful day, he met the Straw Hat Pirates.
They fought together, side by side.
He got his shadow back.
He learned that Laboon was still alive and waiting for him after all those years.
For the first time in a long while, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart to still be alive.
He found a new home.
He entrusted his second life to his new captain, Monkey D. Luffy, and became a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
But that happiness was short-lived. (temporarily)
At Sabaody, the crew was torn apart and scattered across the world.
Brook spent the next two years training and growing stronger before reuniting with his newfound family.
Together, they ventured into the New World.
And somewhere along the way, during the Egghead Incident, Brook once again found himself face-to-face with the darkness of the World Government.
In Elbaph, he had an unexpected reunion with his ward.
Now, after all these years, he is finally beginning to see the full picture of the darkness that has ruled the world from behind closed curtains.
And today, we are witnessing the story of his distant past unfold before our eyes.
He called the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, a freakin’ “rookie.”
He knew about the Vinsmoke Family. He knew about the samurais of Wano Country.
He was the first member of the Straw Hat crew to ever face an Emperor (Yonko) in battle—Charlotte Linlin—and did so fearlessly. He even called her a “young lady.”
My goodness... Brook has lived a LIFE.
And it's still not over yet.
He's definitely one of the best-written characters in One Piece.
I can’t wait to learn more about his past and how it connects to the way his present will unfold.
"Soul King" Brook 💀🎻
YOHOHOHOHOHO!!!
#ONEPIECE
For me, I consider this Dragon’s panel one of the COLDEST in the story ever!
Imagine Dragon is besieging Marijoa and causing them to starve, and yet he calmly comes out analyzing the implications of Vegapunk's speech to the world!!! WHAT KIND OF CALM IS THIS?? WOW🥶
@YamalGlaze@MarcoGrandFleet Saying dragon Will surpass garp is headcanon, only if he fight imu and that won't happen, any other potential oponent he Will face won't be stronger than garp
#ONEPIECE1185
Ppl need to understand that Dragon is indeed dismantling the WG for the first time in 800 yrs in a systematic political and military way!
• For the first time, the movement of paying the 'tribute taxes' to the CDs has stopped because of Dragon!
HE’S WORKING 🐉🔥
#ONEPIECE1185
• The heavenly tribute is what divided Sorbet kingdom into 2 parts, which created a system of social hierarchy & enslaved ppl
• It's also what brought down Esperia for not paying it!
Oda shows the imperialist ways of the 'Celestial Dragons' to rule the world
