I wonder why Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp (and also Robin) were surprised when they
saw the [Dragon from Punk
Hazard](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Animal_Species/Pirate_Alliance_Saga#Dragon)
while the three of them have already seen
[Ryu](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Ryu), the Dragon that they met on Warship
Island?

Why were Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp surprised when they saw the Dragon from Punk Hazard?


Their surprise stems from the fact that the Warship Island Arc is a filler
arc. As [One Piece wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Warship_Island_Arc)
says:

> It is the first story arc of the series not to be based on any content from
> the manga by Eiichiro Oda, making it the first filler arc.

Another reason might be the fact that they had [encountered a
dragon](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Sandora_Lizard#Sandora_Lizard) (if you
count it as one) only once before, and didn't expect to meet one on Punk
Hazard.

Because it's a filler arc.

In Canon story, they meet dragon for the first time in Punk Hazard. Having
said that, it's a mythical creature which never existed in Pirate era, but it
was an artificial one created by Genius Vegapunk.
