Is Monkey D. Dragon the Next God Fruit User in One Piece? Fans Think So!

by

Summary

  • God Fruits are the strongest Devil Fruits in One Piece, confirmed through Nika’s power.
  • Fans speculate that Monkey D. Dragon has a Rain God Devil Fruit due to his mysterious abilities.
  • The Final War may see Dragon in battle against the Gorosei with his mythical God Fruit powers.

In the world of One Piece, it’s important to recognize that while Devil Fruits serve as the main source of powers, there exists a significant variation among them. These enigmatic objects can bestow abilities as diverse as turning into a mere coat or transforming into a divine warrior capable of shaping reality itself. While the user’s proficiency does matter, it is evident that some Devil Fruits hold vastly more power than others.

In the popular series “One Piece,” certain extremely potent Devil Fruits are often referred to as ‘God Fruits’ by fans due to their exceptional powers. Not only are these fruits hinted at throughout the storyline, but Luffy’s character is even revealed to be the embodiment of the Sun God Nika in the contemporary world. Some fans speculate that a God Fruit was introduced much earlier in the narrative; let’s explore this possibility further.

What Exactly Are God Fruits And Do They Even Exist?

A Look At The Claim

Confirmed God Fruit Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika – The Sun God Nika Fruit
First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 1, “Romance Dawn – The Dawn of Adventure”
  • The early arcs of the franchise have hinted at God Fruits.
  • The Elbaf mural may have confirmed the theory of God Fruits.

Fans coined the term ‘God Fruit’ to refer to the main Devil Fruits featured in the story. So far, only one has been confirmed – Luffy’s Nika fruit, which was initially thought to be the Gomu Gomu no Mi until the Wano arc. Yet, hints about its true identity were subtly placed throughout the series, with arcs like Skypiea providing clues that Oda had been laying the groundwork for this revelation all along.

It’s intriguing to note that besides Nika, there have been earlier references to other deities in the One Piece world, like the Rain God, Forest God, and Earth God. The most prominent mention is found on the Adam Tree mural. Given that Nika’s power is expressed through Luffy’s Devil Fruit, it’s reasonable for fans to assume that these other powers could also be linked to as-yet unseen or hinted at Devil Fruits.

Monkey D. Dragon Has The Rain God Devil Fruit

One of the Series’ Most Important Figures

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 100, “The Legend Has Begun”
Story Arc Loguetown
  • Everything seems to be pointing in the direction of Dragon being one of One Piece’s strongest characters.
  • Many fans think that he can use Advanced Conqueror’s Haki and has a God Fruit.

Monkey D. Dragon continues to be one of the most enigmatic and obscure characters within the One Piece series, despite his significant role in the storyline. He leads the Revolutionary Army, an organization that presents the biggest challenge to the authority of the Celestial Dragons and World Government. Instead of choosing to live freely outside their rules like pirates, Dragon decides to confront them directly.

Beyond these points, it should be noted that he is not just any character; he is the son of the most esteemed Marine ever and the father of today’s foremost pirate, a lineage that significantly elevates his status in the story. This heritage alone sets him among the series’ strongest characters. While it remains unverified, there is a strong suspicion that he wields Advanced Conqueror’s Haki. Given these factors and considering fan theories, many believe Dragon to be the possessor of the Rain God Devil Fruit.

Someday, I promise you, they will all watch as I change the world!

While there is limited proof supporting this idea, it does seem logical when considering the Dragon character throughout the series. In fact, Dragon has only made brief appearances across the franchise, with even fewer instances showcasing his powers. Notably, during his introduction on Loguetown, he appeared to control the weather, generating immensely powerful storms capable of summoning lightning to rescue Luffy and even disperse Smoker’s entire Marine unit.

In Chapter 1138 of the Elbaf storyline, one of the most significant chapters in the series so far, it was largely established that numerous God Fruits have been in existence for centuries. This theory was initially suggested during the Skypiea arc through Noland’s flashback, although the specific kind of Devil Fruit that Dragon possesses remains a mystery. To date, we have only encountered one type of God Fruit, which is a Mythical Zoan used by Luffy.

In the One Piece series, some fans have noticed a lack of a character with Wind Logia abilities, as this power would enable its user to manipulate the weather and is potentially extremely strong in the world of One Piece. Given Dragon’s capabilities during the Loguetown arc, it has led many to speculate that he might be the wielder of the Rain God fruit. This fruit could either be a Mythical Zoan like Luffy’s or possibly a Wind Logia that grants Dragon the power to summon destructive storms capable of wiping out entire armies on their own.

In the great final conflict, it’s expected that our brave protagonists will face their deadliest adversaries, with the toughest foes possibly clashing against the Gorosei. This has sparked speculation among fans that Dragon might engage in a fight with St. Marcus Mars, given their striking similarities. Such a battle could potentially be won by him only if he possesses the power of a divine Mythical Zoan Fruit. However, whether or not Dragon indeed holds such a fruit remains to be seen as time unfolds; nevertheless, all signs seem to indicate this possibility.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
