Supreme Commander of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon, currently leads the largest resistance against the World Government. As a member of the Clan of D., known as the Natural Enemy of God, it seems Dragon is finally making his move against the Celestial Dragons and attacking right where they live.
One Piece Chapter 1149 spoilers reveal that, due to the God’s Knights taking too long in Elbaph, Mariejois is now under attack and burning. Many believe that Dragon and his Revolutionary army have attacked Mariejois, just as he said he would once the World Government mobilised the God’s Knights.
Dragon, being aware of the God’s Knights’ strength, could suggest he probably encountered them in the past, possibly during the God Valley Incident. Let’s take a closer look at whether Dragon was present during the God Valley Incident, and if so, how that experience shaped his worldview.

What Happened at God Valley?
The God Valley Incident is one of the most impactful events in the history of One Piece. Taking place 38 years ago, it involved a massive clash between the Rocks Pirates, the Roger Pirates, and the Marines on the island of God Valley. The magnitude of the conflict sent shockwaves around the world, with God Valley island completely disappearing from the world map afterwards.

At the center of the conflict was Rocks D. Xebec, a fearsome pirate who wanted to become the king of the world. He targeted the Celestial Dragons, who were under the protection of the World Government and the God’s Knights. In a surprising turn of events, Monkey D. Garp and Gol D. Roger joined forces to stop Rocks, ultimately defeating him.
This victory earned Garp the title of “Hero of the Marines,” but the incident itself was quietly buried because of how it would make the World Government look. The God Valley incident has impacted every major player in One Piece, so it stands to reason that Dragon is not an anomaly in this case.
Why Fans Think Dragon Was At God Valley
Fans believe Dragon might have been at God Valley because the timeline fits. At the time of the incident, Dragon would have been 17 years old, an age when he could have been a young Marine. Very little is known about Dragon’s past, except that he once served in the Marines but eventually left because his sense of justice did not align with the ideals of the organisation.
We should also keep in mind that Dragon is the son of Garp, who played a major role in the battle at God Valley. It is not far-fetched to assume that Garp could have brought his son along, especially if Dragon was training under him or had enlisted in the Marines around that time. If Dragon witnessed the events at God Valley with his own eyes, it could explain why he ended up becoming disillusioned with the World Government and chose to leave.
Dragon’s Connection to God’s Knights
One Piece Chapter 1149 spoilers revealed that Mariejois is currently under attack and burning. Imu blamed the God’s Knights for it because they were taking too long in Elbaph, allowing enemies to strike directly. This leads many to believe that Dragon and his Revolutionary Army are the ones who have launched an attack on the Holy Land. Dragon had previously said that their real fighting would begin once the World Government mobilised the God’s Knights.
What makes this more interesting is that very few people know how powerful the God’s Knights really are or what they do. If Dragon knows about them, he may have met them in the past. This could have happened during the God Valley Incident, where important figures like Saint Figarland Garling and Gorosei member Saint Jaygarcia Saturn were present.
How the Incident Could Have Shaped Dragon
If Dragon was at God Valley 38 years ago, that moment may have been what pushed him to leave the Marines. Seeing the cruelty of the Celestial Dragons could have opened his eyes to the true nature of the World Government and made him want nothing to do with it.
The God Valley Incident also involved the brutal treatment of hundreds of slaves, who were being hunted for sport. Dragon’s mission to free oppressed people and take down the Celestial Dragons fits with someone who may have witnessed one of the government’s darkest acts firsthand.
Later, Dragon officially formed the Revolutionary Army after the Ohara Massacre, where an entire island of scholars was wiped out for studying the Poneglyphs. This shows what Dragon stands for, and it’s not hard to believe that what he saw at God Valley helped shape his path.
Final Thoughts
While it is not officially confirmed, it is very possible that Dragon was present during the God Valley Incident. It fits perfectly with the timeline. On top of that, his connection to Garp and his awareness of the God’s Knights shows that he shared some history with the World Government that Oda is yet to reveal.
As One Piece moves deeper into the Final Saga, more secrets from the past are being unveiled. If Oda does choose to reveal that Dragon was at God Valley, it could be one of the most important character developments in the entire series. Not only would it connect the dots between past and present, but it would also solidify Dragon’s role as a central figure in the battle to reshape the world.
