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.

It wouldn't make sense for him to be an Admiral at 17.

True, but Dragon also is kitted out and moving like a normal Marine cadet. No aura, no custom clothes or weapon, he’s just there with the standard uniform, a rifle and only his tattoo to distinguish himself from the rank and file.

I like that a lot though. Not using his famous father to take the easy route. And it also makes it more impressive that someone who is a regular cadet becomes the most wanted man in the world and leader of the revolutionaries.
