Chapter 1097 of One Piece Unveils the Obvious Founding Member of SWORD

Recent leaks for the upcoming One Piece chapter 1097 have sparked intense speculation among fans, particularly with the revelations about Monkey D. Dragon’s past connection to the Marines and the intriguing implications for the SWORD group.

The leaked spoilers hint at the continuation of Kuma’s flashback, introducing the idea of Monkey D. Dragon, the Revolutionary Army’s leader, having a prior history within the Marines. Fans have been actively discussing the potential impact of this revelation and how it might shed light on certain mysteries in the series.

Notably, the SWORD group, known to be an offshoot of the World Government’s Marine forces, aligns closely with Dragon’s ideologies. This connection has led some to suggest that Dragon could be the group’s original founder, seeking a means to operate independently of the constraints imposed by the existing Marine command structure.

While the SWORD group is depicted as an offensive force that operates with a degree of freedom, it is contrasted by Cipher Pol Aigis Zero, serving as the rigidly regulated shield of the Marines. It is speculated that Dragon’s departure from the Marines was driven by his disagreement with the organization’s values and goals, prompting him to establish SWORD as a means of pursuing justice on his own terms.

Although the evidence supporting these claims remains largely circumstantial, the pieces seem to align with the narrative direction that Oda might take, potentially unveiling the origins of the SWORD group and its connection to Monkey D. Dragon.

Fans eagerly await the official release of the chapter to uncover more insights and confirm these speculations.
