Dragon was born in the Goa Kingdom, following the same lineage as his father, Monkey D. Garp, and his son, Monkey D. Luffy. Initially a Marine, Dragon’s experiences and the fallout from the Ohara Incident led to his disillusionment with the World Government’s methods of enforcing justice. These events fueled his desire to create a world free from oppression, culminating in the formation of the Revolutionary Army, where he became its supreme commander.

Before establishing the Revolutionary Army, Dragon was the captain of the Freedom Fighters, a precursor organization that shared similar ideals. Over time, he expanded his influence, recruiting notable figures like Sabo, who would later become his second-in-command after Dragon saved him from drowning during a World Noble attack.

Dragon is a tall, imposing figure with a distinctive tattoo running along the left side of his face. He has long black hair and an intense gaze that complements his enigmatic and rebellious demeanor. His usual attire includes a dark cloak and a simple green tunic, emphasizing his practicality and focus on the revolutionary cause.

Dragon is a calm and calculated leader, often appearing stoic and unshakable. His dedication to overthrowing the World Government stems from his belief in true justice and freedom for all. Despite his reserved nature, Dragon shows genuine care for his subordinates and allies, as seen in his rescue of Sabo and his mentorship within the Revolutionary Army. His mysterious persona and limited screen time make him one of the most intriguing characters in the series.
