1st. The only top tier who we've been told directly, that he hates wars. Yet has raised a massive army comprising of lord knows how many armies, all for the sake of those that are oppressed. Unlike the likes of Roger/Whitebeard/Luffy/etc/etc, the sole reason this man is possessing the world's biggest army after the Marines is for the sake of others.
2nd. Only entity who is actively fighting for the freedom of others, not even Gol D. Roger who the fandom widely correlates with the theme of "freedom" was fighting for the freedom of other people, but rather his own freedom. Mans is literally the symbol of freedom. Adding on to it one of his underlings is literally referred to as "The Flag Bearer of Freedom"
3rd. Nika based on the big drawing we see in Elbaf, freed slaves and raised a rebellion with them. By the time the SHPs are seperated pre-TS, the Revolutionary Army already has a renowned reputation of "The Liberators of Slaves". Meaning they have been actively liberating slaves for years now. Like yo Tequila wolf was literally an entire country made of CD slaves lol. And countries got hundreds of thousands of people, so lord knows how many they freed there. (though Slave operations are still ongoing at TW... however it's speculative if the one shown in Egghead was Tequila Wolf or one of the other bridge nations, assumption is TW since the jailer guy looked the same). But nonetheless, they've been freeing slaves on a regular basis. Even in the invasion to Mariejois, they went out of their way to free slaves held by the Celestial Dragons, though we don't know how many they managed to free.
4th. Represents "The People". This is huge, because this reputation of the Revolutionary Army comes from one of the most connected people in the verse, Doflamingo. A rutheless renowned criminal, labels the RA as the "Will of the People".
5th. His name. The word "Dragon" is a symbol of power in the OP world. Kaido's azure Dragon fruit was considered so powerful the entire pirate world rushed God Valley once info got leaked on it by Ginny. The ones who're considered "Gods" of the world are referred to as "Celestial Dragons". Their symbol being "hoof of the Dragon". The ancient drawing showing multiple entities resembling a Dragon. Amongst all of this, you have a top tier whose name is Dragon and he's been "Shaking the World to it's core" for years now (according to VP).
6th. Carrying history on his shoulders. The psuedo-prophecy that Whitebeard gave before his death about how an individual will rise carrying the history of the world on his shoulders.. we that's technically referring to Luffy. But Dragon is literally doing the same shit. Ignoring the fact he has representatives from all the major oppressed races of the world under him. Clover and co were carrying focused so much on collecting the true history because they wanted enveil the voices of the past. And we see Dragon himself stating he'll make sure that Clover's death and Ohara's will won't go to waste. Ohara's will which focused on history.
So you have this figure who has yet to be properly incorporated into the direct storyline of Luffy since Loguetown, but he's off in the wider world, with his underlings making interactions with Luffy throughout the series. And he has all the traits of Nika, except the actual DF. If anything this mf is more Nika than Nika, going by how non-challant Luffy is towards the grander world. While also having a name that represents peak power.
On one hand I'm onboard with the idea that he dies to Imu or w.e as his final enemy. But then I'm like I don't see Oda doing all this set up with him and making him this unique if he's just meant to be hypetool for Imu.
I'm curious to know what y'all think about his future role, knowing he's essentially a non-nika version of nika. Is he gonna be responsible for creating the actual system of post-FW? Where as Luffy is simply responsible for taking down Imu as the primary combatant?
