Why 2025 will be massive for Monkey D. Dragon

If there is one thing that fans of One piece hope will happen in 2025, it is the head of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon, who officially makes a move. Dragon is one of the most interesting characters in One pieceand also a major player in the Final Saga. His importance to the overall plot of the story is tremendous, but despite this, Dragon has only appeared briefly in the story so far, even though the series has lasted over 1100 chapters now.

You have fans One piece they want Dragon to actually do more than just appear in various panels, and while that might be frustrating, they'll be excited to know that 2025 might be when Dragon finally makes a move.

How the dragon carefully moved from behind the shadows

• Monkey D Dragon was once a marine

• The Dragon is currently the head of the Revolutionary Army

Monkey D. Dragon is quite easily one of the sharpest characters in the One piece. Fans don't know much about his life yet, but the little they do know clearly suggests that he's a liberator through and through. At one point, Dragon was a member of the Navy and most likely fought to institute his own Justice. It is very likely that the Dragon has clashed with many powerful pirates of the world long ago, possibly even the likes of Roger at one point. But eventually, Dragon's trust in the World Government began to waver as he saw the reality of things and ended up leaving the Navy. It should be clear that Dragon's position within the Navy was not revealed to fans, but he was likely a Vice Admiral. Regardless, he ended up leaving the Navy and then started his own organization so he could bring his own vision of Justice to life. This organization is what fans know today as the Revolutionary Army.

At first, Dragon's organization was simply known as the Freedom Fighters. The Freedom Fighters were essentially a smaller version of the Revolutionary Army and one that was not as developed. But, the Dragon slowly continued to make gains, and this Freedom Fighter group moved into what is known today as the Revolutionary Army. It was only about 8 years before the current story, the Dragon was noticed by the great powers of One piece world, and has officially become a threat strong enough to tip the balance of power on the seas. The dragon may not have appeared much in the One piecebut he's been making careful moves from the shadows and now is the perfect time for him to strike because all his pieces are finally in place.

Why 2025 is Dragon's time to shine

Dragon and the revolutionary army are officially at war

Fans have been waiting quite a while for Dragon to do something. In fact, one of the funniest things that One piece Fan experience every year predicts that Dragon will make a move, only for things to fall apart at the end of the day. This has been happening for years and years now, but 2025 might just be the year that Dragon actually does something, and there's a clear build-up behind it. Often, fans want to see Dragon in action, which is why they predict him to do something. But, Oda only advances a story when it's ripe, and it's safe to say that the story surrounding the Revolutionary Army is ripe right now. After the conclusion of the Wano Country arc, it was revealed that Dragon had already declared war on the World Government.

At the same time, fans also learned that the World Government was under siege by the Revolutionary Army and that it was time for an official war to break out. Clearly, the World Government will not sit still and will have to make its own moves at some point.

They are currently preparing to engage the Dragon, and this is something he himself mentioned in the story when he hinted that their real war would begin when the God Knights made their move.

As such, 2025 is undoubtedly when fans will see more of the Dragon and possibly even a glimpse of his power. As the Knights of God descend from the Holy Marijoa Land, Dragon will have to prepare his army and prepare to engage them in battle. It should also be noted that Oda has made it clear that Final Saga will not focus exclusively on the Straw Hat Pirates. There are multiple players in the Final Saga, which means that while Elbaf will be the focus of 2025, fans will definitely see other characters in the spotlight, such as Shanks, Blackbeard, and of course, even Dragon.

Will Dragon fight for the first time?

Monkey D. Dragon will be seen in action

Dragon will be one of the major players in the One piece in 2025 and no doubt this has fans wondering if they will be able to see him in action or not. Chances are Dragon will struggle this year due to the threat of the God Knights being absolutely massive. Even Dragon considers them to be very dangerous. No doubt, based on how Oda encouraged them, they must be extremely powerful, and this might require Dragon to make a move on his own and lead from the front instead of ordering his commanders to fight with these powerful enemies.

If there is a clash between the Knights of God and the Revolutionary Army in 2025, it is inevitable that Dragon will fight with them somewhere and hope to make gains in this battle so that his siege of Marijoa will continue and his rule of the World Government. worldwide is weakened as well.

Regardless of how fans view him, Dragon will be an absolutely massive player in the Final Saga of One piecestarting with the Elbaf arc. It's the right time for Dragon to make a move, reveal his power to the fans and show what really motivated him to leave the Marines and start the Freedom Fighters. Dragon may have been on the sidelines for the vast majority of the series, but it's time for him to show what he's really about and why the World Government needs to be wary of this budding monster.

With Oda himself teasing the involvement of an absolutely major player in 2025, fans are extremely excited to see Dragon and the Revolutionary Army at the forefront of things. Hopefully they'll get a good chunk of chapters focused on the Revolutionary Army in 2025, and by the end of the year, Dragon's powers, his story, and his future goals will also be clarified.
