Background
Dragon leads the Freedom Army in opposition to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. After receiving supplies and intelligence from the Flame Dragon Kingdom, he considers an alliance with Julian's forces and accepts aid intended to strengthen the Freedom Army's ability to protect civilians. 147 149
When Dragon learns that the Celestial Dragons intend to massacre pregnant women and enslave the population of Patrila Island, he commits the Freedom Army to a large-scale evacuation. He coordinates with Ginny, Kuma, Ivan, and Dragon General Talilun to move civilians through multiple docks and protect the elderly and children. 148 169
During the operation's aftermath, Dragon declares his goal of bringing down the World Government and establishing a nation founded on equality and freedom. When CP0 and Marine forces pursue his fleet, he adopts Talilun's proposal to alter course, mislead the pursuers, and eliminate spies rather than scatter the evacuation fleet. 169 173
Dragon later develops the Revolutionary Army's combat infrastructure at Baludigo. He trains more than 8,000 revolutionaries in Marine Rokushiki and Dragon Claw Fist, arguing that strength itself is neither good nor evil and should be used to reduce future sacrifices. 194
He is later ambushed by CP0 and a Marine Admiral, escapes, and informs Julian that he failed to protect Luffy's mother. 403
