In Chapter 1081, Laffitte mentioned a man with burns who rides a black boat. Anyone who approaches him would be engulfed by a massive whirlpool, indicating that he is likely a Devil Fruit user. It is intriguing to consider whether this is a mere coincidence or an intentional hint from Oda, as these details align remarkably well with Monkey D. Dragon.
This frame allows us to gain a clearer understanding of the Wind Granma, a ship with a black appearance, which was present two years ago on the island of Baltigo, as described by Laffitte.
Therefore, the individual with burns, who possesses the last Road Poneglyph, is not affiliated with the Government. On the contrary, they are an enemy of the Government, and it strongly suggests that this person is Monkey D. Dragon. I doubt that Dragon’s motivations revolve around finding the One Piece treasure or uncovering the secrets of the Ancient Kingdom because Dragon has a close association with Dr. Vegapunk.
Furthermore, Dragon has demonstrated control over weather phenomena, such as rainstorms, thunder, strong winds, and even the ability to create giant whirlpools if desired.
Considering this, does it mean that Yonko Shanks is not the custodian of the last Road Poneglyph? The Road Poneglyph, which the Roger Pirates discovered 25 years ago on Fish-Man Island, is currently missing, and all the Yonko are searching for it.
Additionally, Dragon had knowledge of Clover over 22 years ago, and he has been acquainted with Dr. Vegapunk for a similar length of time. Both Clover and Vegapunk have conducted research on Poneglyphs.
At present, Red Hair is 39 years old, while Dragon is 55 years old. This implies that when Dragon encountered Vegapunk after the Ohara incident 22 years ago, Red Hair was merely 17 years old, the same age Luffy was two years ago. Dragon, on the other hand, was 33 years old—older, more mature, and significantly more thoughtful.
It is not coincidental that two years ago, Dragon’s Revolutionary Army referred to Nico Robin as the “Revolutionary Light.” Taking into account all the available information, we can deduce the significance of Dragon’s reference to Robin as the “light of revolution.”
It signifies the quest to unveil the truth regarding the world’s hidden history, the war that occurred 800 years ago between the Government and the Ancient Kingdom, and the clash between Dragon’s adversaries and the ideology he embraces as a guiding principle for the future. Robin, with her ability to decipher ancient languages, becomes an invaluable link within the revolutionary army.
If my analysis holds true, it will be Dr. Vegapunk who reveals to Luffy’s group the whereabouts of the last Road Poneglyph, explaining that it lies in the possession of Luffy’s father, Monkey D. Dragon. This revelation would come as a surprise to Robin since Dragon had not disclosed any of this information during her time with him.
