ODA FINALLY REVEALED Dragon & Garp’s DARK PAST! The DAY Garp LOST HIS SON Explained (One Piece)

In One Piece Chapter 1166 we learn that Dragon’s path was never shaped on the battlefield — it was forged in a prison cell.

This chapter finally exposes the moment that broke his faith in the Marines, shattered his bond with Garp, and awakened the revolutionary inside him.

From witnessing the truth about the Celestial Dragons to realizing the Marines were built to protect the elite — not the people — Dragon’s entire worldview collapses.

His hatred for Garp isn’t shallow rebellion; it’s the rage of a man who watched his own father stay loyal to a system Dragon realized he could never serve.

This is the beginning of the world’s most dangerous revolutionary, born not through glory, but through disillusionment and betrayal.

At the same time, the fallout of God Valley continues shaping the entire world.

Garp becomes a manufactured “hero,” the Marines weaponize propaganda as their glue, and Rocks’ death sends shockwaves across every future titan — from Harald to Shanks to even Imu’s long-term plans.

This episode breaks down how Dragon’s imprisonment becomes his true awakening, why he rejects both the Marine myth and his father, and how this one moment sets the stage for the final war.

If Dragon’s rise ever felt mysterious… this is the chapter that finally makes everything click.
