Summary
Monkey D. Dragonis one of the most important characters in theOne Pieceworld as he leads one of the greatest organizations in the entire story. Dragon is the leader of the infamous Revolutionary Army and is known as the “World’s Worst Criminal,” which puts into perspective how dangerous he truly is.
Although very little of Dragon has been seen in the story so far, the showings of his organization automatically make him look stronger and better. Additionally, there are quite a few powers that fans can see him possibly use in the future ofOne Piece.
Updated on June 06, 2025, by Rei Penber:Monkey D. Dragon is certainly one of the most powerful individuals in the One Piece world and now that the series has entered the final saga, Dragon and his abilities will most definitely be explored more than ever before. Fans know Dragon to be an incredibly powerful individual, however, while his status as one of the strongest has already been confirmed, his abilities still remain somewhat of a mystery. Given that One Piece fans are known to be incredible at theorizing, it isn’t all that hard to come up with different ideas for abilities that suit Dragon or that have been hinted at in the story. While this list already goes over powers that Dragon could potentially have, there are other abilities that have now been introduced in One Piece that he could be a contender for having as well. With that said, this list has now been updated.
19Zoan Awakening
Zoan Power Taken To The Next Level
If Dragon possesses a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, likely of the mythical subclass, then he will most certainly have awakened this power as well. This would give him special abilities and a unique transformation, which is a sign of the Zoan awakenings.
In this case, Dragon would hit a completely different level when it comes to physical attributes and it would also grant him a special ability, which all the fans would love to see.
18Flight
The Power To Soar
While not an individual ability on its own, flight is an extension of the ability that Dragon holds. Fans know for a fact that Dragon can fly. For one, he is known to have saved Sabo from the middle of the ocean in an instant before he could sink after he was blasted by a Celestial Dragon. Later on, on the same day, Dragon arrived on Wind Granma from the skies, as was evident from his silhouette. It was clear that he was flying, however, fans could not make out what form he had taken.
The fact that Dragon possesses these powers strongly hints that he either has a Zoan power, or a Logia power. Both would allow him to soar through the skies and save someone from the middle of the ocean. Regardless of what the source of the power is, Dragon can certainly fight on land, as well as in the sky. This is another reason why he is a versatile fighter and likely among the strongest in the One Piece world. Fans can only hope that the Final Saga will do justice to his character and showcase some of his most incredible fights when the time comes.
17Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Model: Zeus
A Powerful God Fruit
One Piecerecently introduced the power of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, which is wielded by Monkey D. Luffy. The power of this fruit is quite ridiculous but more importantly, it gave fans the idea that Devil Fruits after deities can exist as Mythical Zoans. Zeus is a god that’s worshipped in theOne Pieceworld since one of Big Mom’s homies is named after him.
As such, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Zeus existing and for Dragon to be its user.Monkey D. Dragon’s Devil Fruitwould get to control all of the skies, including winds, rain, and lightning, among other overpowered abilities. Given that he’s done some similar stuff in the series so far, he could very well possess this Devil Fruit.
16Devil Fruit Awakening
Fruit Taken Beyond Limits
Monkey D. Dragonhaving a Devil Fruit ability up his sleeve is certainly not out of question and in case he does, it is almost a given that his powers would be awakened as well. Depending on what type of Devil Fruit he’s eaten, Dragon would gain different power.
If he has a Paramecia type of Devil Fruit, he’d gain the ability to affect his surroundings with his ability. A Mythical Zoan would give him the power of a new transformation and make him much stronger. Logia awakenings aren’t known to the fans just yet, however, they’re sure to be just as overpowered as the other two. Without a doubt,Monkey D. Dragon’s Devil Fruitawakening would be incredible.
Paramecia Awakening
Provided that Dragon possesses a Paramecia type of Devil Fruit, fans should fully expect him to have awakened this power. Awakenings are going to be incredibly important in the final saga ofOne Piece.Dragon most certainly does have a Devil Fruit up his sleeve.
If this is a Paramecia power, then his paramecia awakening would allow him to affect other things in his surroundings and spread his power to them. If, for example, Dragon has the ability of the wind fruit, then he should be able to affect his surroundings as he wills and create a tearing full of storms for his opponents.
Logia Awakening
If Dragon possesses the power of a Logia Devil Fruit, then Oda can illustrate a Logia awakening through him.
It must be remembered that Logia powers have not been seen awakened in the story just yet, and their awakening is certainly going to be special, given that the Logia class is believed to be the strongest.
15Wind Paramecia
The Power To Manipulate Wind
Monkey D. Dragonhaving a Wind Paramecia Devil Fruit is also a possibility. The chances of his happening are certainly lower than the other Devil Fruit mentioned on the list, however, it is definitely something that Oda can incorporate into his story quite well.
A Wind Paramecia would work similar to a wind Logia, however, the only difference would be that Dragon wouldn’t be able to turn into wind himself. In theOne Pieceanime, a similar Devil Fruit called the Kama Kama no Mi was introduced. In this case,Monkey D. Dragon’s Devil Fruitwould be similar to that, only much more powerful.
14Wind Logia Fruit
The Power To Become Wind
One of the most theorizedpowers thatMonkey D. Dragonis thought to possessis the power of the Wind Wind Fruit or an ability that is related to wind. While Oda hasn’t revealed what powers Dragon wields, fans do know that he produced strong gusts of wind at Loguetown to help Luffy escape Smoker.
What’s more, in Luffy’s flashback, Dragon turned out to be the one who saved countless people from the fire in Grey Terminal by using his Wind powers to open up a path for them. It certainly wouldn’t be a stretch to say that he has a Logia-type Devil Fruit related to wind.
13Armament Haki
The Most Used Haki Type
Armament Haki is a power that Dragon most certainly possesses. Although not everyone in the story has Armament Haki, it is impossible for someone of Dragon’s stature to not be a great user of this ability.
Sadly, Dragon has never been seen making use of it since he has never been involved in any major fight in the story. Nonetheless, a lot of Dragon’s subordinates use both Armament Haki so it’s a given for him to be a user of this power as well.
12Observation Haki
A Sixth Sense Ability
Observation Haki is an ability that grants a sixth sense ability to the user and allows them to sense things such as presence, emotions, and intent, and even gives them precognition.
Just like Armament Haki, Dragon has not made use of this ability in the story so far simply because he hasn’t been involved in any major fights, however, that’s not to say that he doesn’t have Observation Haki. Out of all the Haki types, Observation Haki is the one that is most commonly found so it should also be one that Dragon has already mastered to a great degree.
11Futuresight
The Power To See The Immediate Future
It is a given for Dragon to have great control over the Color of Observation. After all, this type of Haki is being used by even weak characters in the series. For Dragon to have this power should not come as a surprise to any fan. However, taking it to the next level is where only a few powerful fighters excel. So far, fans have seen quite a few users of Observation Haki that can also see into the future. In Whole Cake Island, Katakuri showcased this power for the very first time. Luffy picked up this ability shortly after and, in Wano, Kaido also showcased the ability to see the future.
More recently, Shanks showed that he can see more than 10 seconds into the future, which is absolutely incredible. Dragon, being a fighter of incredible skill, should be able to use this ability as well. As for how great his mastery of this skill is, fans will have to wait and see. The ability to see the future is incredibly useful in combat and for Dragon to have the skill would ensure that he can fight against even the strongest out there.
10Conqueror’s Haki
The Rarest Haki
Conqueror’s Haki is a power that only one in a million people in theOne Pieceworld are born with. It allows the user to impose their willpower on others, knocking the ones with weaker wills out in the process. Those who resist it are strong enough to fight the user of Conqueror’s Haki.
Dragon is almost certainly going to be a user of Conqueror’s Haki as well just like his son. InMarineford, Luffy’s Conqueror’s Hakiwas attributed toMonkey D. Dragon, meaning he is already implied to be its user despite not having used it so far. In the future, fans will certainly see him make use of this ability.
