Monkey D. Dragon
There can be no happiness in a world where unwanted are discarded. One day, I will change the world!
Monkey D. Dragon (モンキー・D・ドラゴン, Monkī Dī Doragon),
nicknamed "Dragon the Revolutionary" (革命家 ド ラ ゴ ン, Kakumeika Dragon) is the father of Monkey D. Luffy and the son of Monkey D. Garp. It is the famous leader of the Revolutionary attempting to overthrow the World Government. It is the greatest enemy of the World Government and it is the most dangerous and the most wanted man in the world
Face Dragon
Often seen wearing a khaki raincoat and recently he was seen wearing the uniform of revolutionaries. It has a red tattoo on the left side of his face and black hair tousled in the manner of Luffy (longer). It is often seen with a grim smile on his face. In the execution of Gol D. Roger there are 22, he did not have his tribal tattoo on his face. However, it is amusing to note that on the pictures to the representative, it sports a big smile and a look of psychopath. This is probably due to the desire of the World Government to impersonate a dangerous madman. It is often wearing a hood. This is a tall man.
: personality
Dragon's personality is almost unknown because of the many mysteries that surround it, with the exception of an obvious love for freedom and the belief in fate, the traits of a "D". Despite this, he is serious about his crusade, warning his subordinates that the conflict against the World Government will be long and difficult.
Unlike other family members, or other carriers D it has a severe and serious behavior. However, it is often seen with a confident smile on her face.
There also appears to be concerned about the innocent (probably seeing the oppression of world government for them), as shown voluntarily saving the inhabitants of Grey Terminal and then offering them a position in the revolutionary army.
He speaks as if he was a mystic of all sorts and apparently seems to dislike being asked anything about his past, or even talk about it. He also has a strange habit of always looking to East Blue when the wind changes. His revolutionary comrade Emporio Ivankov attributes this to his instincts, having left Luffy in East Blue.

Monkey D Garp
Dragon is the son of the famous Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp. No direct interaction was observed between. However, Garp was relaxed by telling Luffy criminal status Dragon, up nose picking saying that. He even laughed when he realized he should not have to reveal such information. There seems to be a kind of agreement between the two. Garp said why Dragon was Loguetown was to see Luffy set out to Grand Line but Dragon finally had to save Luffy from Smoker.
Monkey D. Luffy
Monkey D. Luffy is the son of Dragon. Like his father, Monkey D. Garp, he seems to have high expectations for Luffy. And although it has yet to run for Luffy, Dragon seems to support his son's actions to date. He appeared to Loguetown to see Luffy from Grand Line and prevent Smoker capture, showing that he cares somewhat welfare of his son (perhaps to push Luffy become more mature). Dragon also appears to be very proud of his son because of all the problems he caused the world government. His unusual habit of standing in the wind and facing East Blue (where he left Luffy), apparently means that his son lacks. When he was informed of the second intrusion Luffy to Marineford, he decided to focus on its own objectives, and that Luffy was big enough (according to him) to take care of himself. It does not seem to try to make him a revolutionary, leaving him to follow his own path.
other
No mother or wife (if it has already been married) has been appointed to the Dragon. However, both were left "?" in the supplement issue of The Grand Line Times, and he always had a relationship with the mother of Luffy. As a holder of the Will of D., It can also be linked to other D. It is not known if, before Sengoku make public information in the world, Dragon knew that Portgas D. Ace was the son of Gol D. Roger, or if he was aware of the adoption of Ace in the family (although his subordinate Kuma does not know). But Ace was aware that Dragon was the father of Luffy (before it was announced to the world by Sengoku).
The revolutionary army
Sabo
He knows Sabo for several years (they met during the incident Grey Terminal). He was touched by what he endured from his young age. If Sabo is the second largest life revolutionary is that Dragon must have a lot of confidence and regard for him.

Emporio Ivankov
Emporio Ivankov is one of the companions of the Dragon and one of the commanders of the revolutionary army. Ivankov apparently understands Dragon used to look in the direction of East Blue, as if he was nostalgic for the country. However, Ivankov had no knowledge of family Dragon until he met a few years later, Luffy, which led him to protect him at all costs during its passage Impel Down and during the Battle Marineford. It is not yet known how Dragon met Ivankov.
Bartholomew Kuma (former friend turned enemy)
Bartholomew Kuma was once a member of the crew of the Dragon and the Revolutionary Army, as shown in a analepsis where Dragon saved the inhabitants of Grey Terminal in the Kingdom of Goa. His relationship with Dragon is still a mystery, but he knows that Luffy is the son of Dragon, a fact that even Ivankov did not know until he met the boy. While Kuma has worked with the Revolutionary Army in secret as a Shichibukai, was last modified in full Pacifist makes now fully under the control of World Government. Dragon apparently fully aware of the situation Kuma respect to the Navy and the World Government.
Koala and Hack
It is superior as for all revolutionaries.
other Revolutionaries
Other revolutionaries were relieved to find out that their mysterious leader is actually a "human" when they heard that he was the father of Luffy and Garp's son.
enemies
World Government and the Navy and Pacifistas and Nobles Worldwide
As an off-the-law (Revolutionary), it is actively sought.
World Government
Due to the fact that he is the leader and main center of the largest anti-government organization in the world, Dragon was named the most dangerous and the most wanted man in the world by the World Government. Thus, it must have one of the highest premiums in the world. As said Nico Robin, normally, organizations and criminals (especially hackers) do not try to directly disrupt the global government and draw attention to themselves.
However, the organization led by Monkey D. Dragon is the exact opposite. Although many people call a revolutionary, world government estimates that its ideals and goals can reduce the force of justice of the World Government. So far it seems that the world government is the only known enemy of the Dragon. Anyway, being the son of Dragon enough to make Luffy a target.
nobles
"So you finally forced your own children to say things like that, Goa Kingdom"
Dragon seems to be a lot of hatred of the nobles for destroying the Grey Terminal, and saved the people of the case as an act of defiance against the nobility who tried to kill them. His hatred for the nobility does not seem necessarily include children. Indeed, Dragon was shocked to hear the shame of Sabo to be born noble, and listened to what he had to say. His hatred does not seem to be absolute, it is not clear what he thinks of Nobles that are good for their people, as Dalton, Cobra, and Vivi.
the Navy
The Navy is the main force of the World Government, it has a lot of disdain Dragon and his ideals, especially Akainu for unknown reasons. Sakazuki was one of the only people who (before Sengoku make public information) was aware of the relationship between Luffy, Dragon and Garp. It is not known if this is known only among high-ranking members of the Navy or not. But the Navy soldiers were shocked to learn that the father was no other than Luffy.
Thalassa Lucas
This sovereign seems to fear and sees it as a potentially dangerous enemy. He showed at the Board of kings.
:Skills and CompetencesHe is the leader of the Revolutionary and has complete command of the organization. There are some clues that indicate that Dragon is an incredibly powerful person since the World Government considers as "The Man in the Most Wanted World". We also see it in the episode where he saves Luffy Smoker, Smoker does not even try to stop him. World government fears the possibility of being at war against him along Whitebeard. So it is a terrifying threat and has powerful subordinates such as Emporio Ivankov, Inazuma Bartholomew Kuma and that, by comparison, are very powerful. This implies the true power of the Dragon. When Sengoku told everyone the link between him and Luffy, everyone is shocked, including Gecko Moria, a member of the 7 Corsairs Captains and crew Whitebeard. In addition, Dragon seems able to control the weather or storms, perhaps due to a fruit Paramecia type Devil or even Logia but nothing confirmed yet. He seems to have the power to control the weather time, create tornadoes, lightning and / or dropping rain. Another hypothesis says he possess a weapon similar to an ancient weapon that can control time. It probably has the haki of armaments as it happens to stop Smoker, a person who ate a fruit of Logia type Devil, which means that therefore possess the fluid. During the War of Marineford, Luffy uses his supreme fluid (Haki of Kings), and at that time Ivankov mutters: "We can not go against heredity Dragon ... Huh? "Which implies that Dragon might have also the supreme fluid.

:history
"One day, I promise you, they all will see while I will change the world. "
The Dragon's story remains a mystery, we know almost nothing about him outside of his birth in the United Goa. Thus, it is difficult to understand why Luffy was left to his grandfather instead of being raised by Dragon. However, it can be deduced that shortly before or after the birth of Luffy, he founded the revolutionary movement and became the leader, his ideals slowly starting to spread across the world. One by one, countries have slowly started to support it, although sometimes understanding phase went through the war. It has been shown that he witnessed the execution of Gol D. Roger, but he had not yet acquired his tattoo at this location. We do not know exactly what the tattoo means.
Twelve years before the current history, Dragon returned to his home in the United Goa and witnessed the burning of the Gray Terminal. After witnessing the pain of his own people by Sabo, the latter asked for help and claimed his shame of his legacy. Dragon adopted a plan to save the people and embarrassed the government by creating a dam to allow those of the Mountain of garbage to escape and join him. Because of his actions, the nobles just noticed the charred remains of their burning mountain was much lower than expected.
Some time later, the Revolutionary Army moored in the Village of Shomotsuki for food and supplies, coincidentally near where Roronoa Zoro was currently in training. Here Dragon is seen on his boat, being scolded by Ivankov because it was late. Dragon had brought someone with him who needed medical care. In the anime, Emporio Ivankov Dragon asks where was he, the latter replied that he had been present at the ceremony of the Celestial Dragon on Dawn Island. When Ivankov asks indignantly why he was not invited, Dragon told him he would have attracted too much attention. Then Dragon asked if they have enough food. When he learns that the local dojo had replenished, he nodded before announcing they would be back to Baltigo. Eight years before the main story, the Council of Kings, meets in Mary Joy, discussed the Dragon revolutionary movements and ideals, both of which threatens the world government. Thalassas Lucas showed his picture. Lucas went on to say that while Dragon was actually a relatively small threat, but it could easily become a serious over the next five to six years.

His first appearance in the Arc Loguetown is when he saved his son Monkey D. Luffy when the Colonel would capture the Smoker. At that moment a gust of wind across green Loguetown blowing Luffy, Smoker and Baggy very far. It is not known if he controlled the wind blowing off the Marines at this stage. Smoker will be surprised at the action of the Revolutionary and seek motivation Dragon until their relationship be revealed later.
Post Enies Lobby Arc
During his visit to Luffy, Garp let out that Dragon is Luffy's father in a conversation banale.Tout the present world was in shock, while Luffy himself does not even know he had a father who was not dragon. Robin said to Luffy why his father is so feared.
Robin said that Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army and spread his ideas to all nations and all the kingdoms in the world, causing the collapse of many of them. He manages to provoke rebellion against monarchies around the world and managed to push the world toward civil war. His actions greatly enraged world government and is considered as the most wanted man in the world. Until Luffy Garp told who his father was, nobody knew anything about Dragon, not even his full name.
It has since been revised back to Baltigo. Seeing the new premium Luffy, one of his men was about to tell him that Luffy was the grand-son of Vice Admiral Garp. However, Dragon interrupted him leaving the room and says he will take the air for a while. He goes out and ensures that he will meet Luffy again.
Marineford Arc Post
After the death of Whitebeard and the liberation of slaves in Tequila Wolf, Dragon has expressed a desire to see one of the slaves: Nico Robin, archaeologist of the crew of his son and the only survivor of the incident 'Ohara. Again we review Dragon to his headquarters, talking with Ivankov via snail phone. Ivankov has Dragon speaks about a newspaper article about Luffy and tells him how much he looks like him. In turn, Dragon tells his friend that Luffy is no longer a child on whom he must ensure, but does not expect that Luffy is under the protection of Ivankov during the war, and it is somewhat grateful.
