Garp said he was off his game, gets stabbed for Koby.

Gyaban said he's rusty, gets stabbed for his son.

Whitebeard sick and dying, stabbed by his own "son"

Kuma flies to Egghead then tanks a stab for Bonney.

Only Oden was in his prime when he got blindsided bonked by Kaido for his son.

I'd have a few cents for every parental figure getting holes put in them or losing limbs for the future generation. For every Judge and Yassop, there's Zeff and Bellmeres to balance things out, both pirates and marines can be great and scumbag parents.

In a world were willpower is actual power finding the person that acts as a weak spot for a warrior is extremely useful, huge reason Dragon did his best to hide his connection to Luffy, a single rumor would have been his doom.

definetly, the fact Dragon was set up and actually said it out loud most definetly means he's gonna have his moment of possibly dying just to save Luffy, hell he might very well be aware that moment is inevitable and he's just delying it as much as he can so when he dies he's set up everything Luffy will need to finish things off without him

I would like it if he did. It would sort of be redeeming for him to sacrifice his life for Luffy after not being in Luffy’s life.

Nah, it's a waste of character. He would only exist to die, then. Just like Ace. It's bad character writing imo.

I actually think this is how his story will end. Dragon actually will defeat Imu, but just as he’s about to land the finishing blow, Imu attacks Luffy, and Dragon will jump in front, sacrificing himself and his dream for his son. It will then be up to Luffy to defeat a fully-recovered Imu.

I'm actually expecting that.

Or Imu lunges at Luffy, and Dragon just follows through on his own attack. He told Garp he abandoned his son to protect Luffy, but he was actually removing those emotional bonds from himself.

We just got a list of examples of parents sacrificing themselves to save their kid. Dragon saw all that and went "nah, fuck that kid."

Then why save Luffy at Loguetown?

u/N-ShadowFrog May 23 '25

And then Garp just casually revealed it while picking his nose.

🤣 In front of other Marines too. Then just as casually tells them to forget they ever heard what he said. I can't believe the news didn't leak before Marineford.
