i doubt well ever see another Haki user like Vergo, maybe one or two more but certainly not so common as to have 2 of them fight each other

In the case of Dragon, it absolutely makes sense that he has strong haki.


or a strong fruit

or some other sort of power


It makes sense that he has both strong haki and a strong devil fruit.

It makes sense to me that he is super saiyan 3, as he has no eyebrows.
Just kidding.

Seriously though, why do you think that?

depends on the definition of strong, if strong as in above average then definently but its unlikely hes have haki that could beat Vergos haki if he has a strong fruit in addition

Are you seriously saying that dragon won't have Haki that surpasses Vergos? I mean Sabo is comfortable enough to muck around with an admiral so the big man above him should surely be comfortable too right? If you look at who has been introduced as members of the rev. army surely dragon has gotta be some complete monster of a guy to keep them in check/make them follow him? Given what was said about luffys' little conq. haki outburst during the war surely it's almost certain that Dragon along with Garp has it too right?

If dragon was just an above average dude then surely the WG would have been able to get rid of him easy enough? Plus Sabo seemed to use Haki has the main object of his attacks before consuming the mera and wasn't he taught by Dragon?

Look at the other two members of his family that have been introduced. Both his father and Son are monsters. Is there really any doubt he's not a real top level monster of a dude. He has gotta be able to hold his own against 99.9% of the people out there if he's gonna lead a group that will change the entire world.

Dragon has a D in his family that alone shows that he is something special.

And do you really think Garp didn't train his son as hard as his grandson?

Just kidding.

Seriously though, why do you think that?

Because he is a top dog, leader of the revolutionary army, son of Garp, father of luffy, mentor of Sabo. Notice the sheer amount of Baller Status people who follow him: Kuma(previously), Sabo, Emporio Ivankov. Notice the fact the he openly opposes the World Government. Who he was raised by, the people he is surrounded by and who he is fighting against shows that he isn't just some two bit punk, he is the real deal, strong haki and strong fruit but at the very LEAST strong haki. The characters in One Piece do not follow weak people.If a character in One Piece is stronger than the leader than what is stopping that character from taking the leadership position? Nothing, thus by default a leader is one who is strong enough to not be beaten by his subordinates. This point is shown time and again throughout One Piece. Ace couldn't beat White Beard and thus became his subordinate. Nobody in Luffy's crew can beat Luffy and thus they are his subordinates. Nobody in Arlong's crew could beat him and thus they became his subordinates. It doesn't make any sense that someone stronger in the world of pirates would submit themselves to someone weaker. While certain things in One Piece don't make sense the leadership dynamics are very clear.
Perfect practice makes perfect.

One extreme level filler and the other is not really a comparison you can make given the other 99.9 % examples given throughout the story.

It makes sense to me that he is super saiyan 3, as he has no eyebrows.
Just kidding.

Seriously though, why do you think that?

Nobody in Luffy's crew can beat Luffy and thus they are his subordinates.

it's so wrong :/

ROFL

well I don't know who you are laughing to since your post was so great
but they are not his "subordinate" cause they can't beat him. that is certainly not the reason

To a very small extent it is for Zoro, especially given his comment after Luffy CH's th 50k guys at Fishman island. I believe it was something along the lines of "That's what I need from my Captain, otherwise he needs to step down" Or something like that, Obviously it's not the whol reason Zoro follows Luffy and to say that's why any of them follow him is just crazy. But just thought I'd point out it MAY play a small, tiny part for Zoro.

i doubt well ever see another Haki user like Vergo, maybe one or two more but certainly not so common as to have 2 of them fight each other

In the case of Dragon, it absolutely makes sense that he has strong haki.

That's it, that is your argument? Do you know how to make valid points or rebut others? So if Usopp beat Luffy when they fought he would still be following him? No way. If Zoro beat Luffy when they fought he would still be following him? No frikin way.

Because he is a top dog, leader of the revolutionary army, son of Garp, father of luffy, mentor of Sabo. Notice the sheer amount of Baller Status people who follow him: Kuma(previously), Sabo, Emporio Ivankov. Notice the fact the he openly opposes the World Government. Who he was raised by, the people he is surrounded by and who he is fighting against shows that he isn't just some two bit punk, he is the real deal, strong haki and strong fruit but at the very LEAST strong haki. The characters in One Piece do not follow weak people.If a character in One Piece is stronger than the leader than what is stopping that character from taking the leadership position? Nothing, thus by default a leader is one who is strong enough to not be beaten by his subordinates. This point is shown time and again throughout One Piece. Ace couldn't beat White Beard and thus became his subordinate. Nobody in Luffy's crew can beat Luffy and thus they are his subordinates. Nobody in Arlong's crew could beat him and thus they became his subordinates. It doesn't make any sense that someone stronger in the world of pirates would submit themselves to someone weaker. While certain things in One Piece don't make sense the leadership dynamics are very clear.

Uh yes? That's the point of an exception to the rule. The exception invalidates that rule. That's the meaning of the phrase.

"Men are stronger than women." Some women are stronger than some men. Therefore it is a false statement. However if you wrote "men are generally (or on average) stronger than women" that would be true.

Not saying Dragon doesn't have or have haki. That remains to be seen. He probably does, but in order to be strong, he doesn't neccessarily need to have haki, just like whitebeard. Though weather or not whitebeard does have haki can be debated, Oda never wrote that he did. Nor does being a leader in One piece depend on being stronger than your immediate inferiors. It's a trend but was it ever determined that Luffy is in fact stronger than Zoro? Heck, Smoker was said to be stronger than many above his own rank. You have taken a general theme, and turned it into gospel, combining it with that leaders must have haki as well. To which I can respond...Whitebeard.

Also lol at "Nobody in Luffy's crew can beat Luffy and thus they are his subordinates."

They gave me 3 examples in a sea of yonkos, shickibukai, pirate captains who are stronger than their crew. What you failed to mention is that they are political leaders more so than leaders of an army or pirates. Luffy, Captains of other crews, the 4 Yonkos, the 3 Admirals, the 7 Shichibukai are leaders of a fighting force(one of them is the exception because he is alone-mihawk, the other is the exception because he got posses an army from sheer luck and he is a comical character so it makes sense-buggy) they aren't political leaders.
Perfect practice makes perfect.
