Upon seeing Tashigi, Zoro mistook her for Kuina.
His obsession with Kuina ran deep; ever since their last encounter, he'd vowed to take her from Zero.
This situation left him completely stunned. He couldn't comprehend why Kuina was now a Marine.
Meanwhile, Luffy, targeted by Smoker, was struggling.
Usopp's ammunition was running low, leaving him virtually defenseless.
Sanji, though still fighting, was dangerously outnumbered by the Marines and unable to break free.
Unless the situation changed drastically, the Straw Hats were facing annihilation.
Then, Dragon appeared in the sky, cloaked in deep green, lightning illuminating his face and tattoos.
Smoker and the Marines instantly spotted him.
Smoker hadn't expected Dragon to appear so openly in Loguetown's central square.
And, critically, they were no match for Dragon.
White Dove, the peak combatant, was still absent.
But Dragon, as the Revolutionary leader, wouldn't pass up this opportunity.
Smoker, abandoning his attack on Luffy, transformed into smoke and charged towards Dragon.
Dragon, showing no mercy, extended a dragon-like claw imbued with Armament Haki, striking Smoker with immense force.
Smoker was sent crashing to the ground with terrifying speed.
Tashigi rushed to Smoker's side.
"Colonel Smoker, are you alright? We need to retreat!"
As Tashigi reached Smoker, Luffy looked skyward. "Oh! It's you!"
Usopp, beside Luffy, exclaimed, "Luffy, who is that?
They're amazing! You know someone that powerful?!"
Zoro, finally tearing his gaze from Tashigi, recognized Dragon from his investigations into the Dawn Bird organization.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is that… Dragon, the Revolutionary leader?"
Sanji, seizing the Marines' distraction, also looked towards Dragon.
"The Revolutionary leader, even older than the Dawn Bird organization?"
As everyone reacted to Dragon's identity, Luffy casually said, "That's my dad.
Let's go! We're entering the Grand Line!"
Luffy dashed off, his carefree demeanor unchanged.
The Straw Hats, after a moment's hesitation, followed, trusting in Dragon's strength to ensure their escape.
But then, Ryuya stepped forward, his phantom form dissolving.
He materialized before Luffy.
"So many familiar faces! I couldn't miss this, could I?"
His appearance shocked everyone.
Luffy, unfamiliar with the details of the Grand Line, didn't recognize White Dove, a symbol of peak Marine strength.
Sanji and Usopp, however, knew him well, and Zoro had researched him thoroughly during his investigation of Zero.
They knew he was someone they couldn't provoke.
Sanji, addressing Ryuya, said, "Admiral White Dove, since you dined at our restaurant, I've trained relentlessly.
I'll prove ALL is real!"
Usopp asked, "White Dove, where's Kaya? Did you betray her?" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt
Ryuya looked at them with disdain.
"ALL's existence is irrelevant. Kaya is fine, currently interning with the Marines."
He continued, "Instead of worrying about me, worry about yourselves.
You won't escape with me here!"
Ryuya extended his hand.
Smoker, however, had risen again and charged at Dragon.
Ryuya couldn't understand Smoker's actions; Dragon hadn't been merciless, yet Smoker kept provoking him.
Was he foolish, or foolish?
Ryuya couldn't comprehend it, but Dragon, clearly angered by Ryuya's presence, showed no mercy.
Smoker, however, wanted to prove his strength to Ryuya, despite the significant gap in their power.
This was a testament to his determination.
Smoker roared at Dragon and lunged forward.
Dragon unleashed the full force of his dragon claw, appearing before Smoker like a phantom.
The claw descended with terrifying power, threatening to end Smoker.
