After years of anticipation, One Piece 1082 is just around the corner, and with it comes a shocking revelation: there is a pirate far stronger than Shanks. This spoiler report, taken from a Youtube channel called Bengkel Anime, reveals that Monkey D. Dragon is the pirate who holds this title of strength. In One Piece 1082, author Eiichiro Oda will finally display Dragon’s might, which surpasses even the mighty Shanks.
Despite being Luffy’s father, Dragon is perhaps the most mysterious character in the One Piece series. He rarely speaks, and has only engaged in combat once, when he confronted Smoker in Logue Town. Even then, he only blocked Smoker’s attack and didn’t retaliate. This absence of Dragon’s abilities has led to much fan speculation, but the upcoming chapter could reveal what he is truly capable of.
Many believe that Dragon possesses a Logia-type devil fruit related to the element of wind. This speculation arises from the fact that every time Dragon appears, he is accompanied by a storm. Moreover, the spoiler report suggests that Dragon also has exceptional Haki powers. This ability may have been inherited from his father, Garp, and has been passed down to Luffy as well.
Aside from his powers, Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, a group dedicated to toppling the World Government’s regime. As a result, he is the number one wanted man in the world. However, there is still much we don’t know about Dragon’s abilities and motives, and the World Government is understandably fearful of him.
Meanwhile, Shanks is still considered a powerful pirate, despite not having any devil fruit abilities. His strength lies in his mastery of Haki and leadership skills. However, this spoiler report suggests that Shanks may not be the strongest pirate in the series after all. Other powerful characters, such as the Gorosei, have yet to engage in combat and show their full strength.
In the end, only One Piece 1082 can reveal the true strength of these characters. We can only wait until the chapter is released on May 7, 2023, to see who truly reigns as the strongest pirate in the series.
