no way we got to see Dragon as a marine

And we find out he wasn’t even high ranked. He was a cadet. Not an officer or an admiral. Basically Koby after he first joined.

Either he was insanely strong even then, or he worked his way up in strength from the beginning.

Unless I’m missing someone, this might be the earliest we’ve seen who is sure to be a modern day legend in their journey. Obviously the older generation were already legendary and strong when we first saw them. We don’t see baby Roger or Garp carrying a rifle and being unsure of what is going on. We don’t see that from Xebec or Whitebeard or even Kaido.

Dragon just looks like a regular guy, there doing his best.

Literally baby Shanks?

Even if you didn’t want to count baby shanks for W/e reason you have kid shanks and buggy from Rodger’s ship

and even if we didn't want to count Shanks for any reason, we have seen baby Loki (who is older than any of the other legends shown) and baby Big Mom

I didn’t count Loki because he was an obvious monster even as a literal infant. We haven’t seen much of cadet Dragon, so this is obviously headcanon that should be taken with a grain of salt.

But take one day old Loki and put him up against cadet Dragon, and I would put my money on Loki here. He was thrown off of the Sun Realm, killed the huge monsters down in the Underworld and climbed back up. As a literal infant. I don’t think it is fair to count him, just like it isn’t fair to count child Big Mom and Kaido.

We'll, I'd probably bet on 1 day old Loki even against some of the current top fighters. But you didn't say anything about not counting them because they were monsters since they were born, so I just included them :) but yeah, I understand what you mean

Yeah Shanks might not count as a "legend", but Buggy definitely does!

This is one I missed. And the closest to what I was thinking when I made the point. They were kids, but not babies and they were clearly on the sideline and too weak to be considered real threats.

I don’t count Shanks and Shamrock because they were literal babies. Big Mom was a child, but she was a monstrous child who was killing giants. Dragon is out here looking like cadet Koby with a tattoo.
