I watched the anime at least twice but I don't understand. I know Dragon saved
Luffy from Smoker but did he save Luffy at the execution stand? Bartholomew
said he was stunned when he saw the lightning save Luffy. That makes me think
it was Luffy's unexplainable luck, like when Fujitora rolled the dice to
pursue Luffy

one-piece
Did Dragon cause the lightning at Lougetown


To answer cannonically, no he did not. As far as we know Dragon was not
involved in that scenario and the reason why he survived is because of his
incredibly high luck.

To answer speculatingly, There is some suspicion that this luck stems from the
fact that he carries the "Will of D" whereas he must be an integral person to
change the world.

The truth is however, given that he series is still in production (and
probably will be for some time). We do not have enough data to say true or
false. We can only form opinions off of what we do know.

I do not know if this is accurate, of course as Kaz suggested only time can
tell for sure. I compared the anime and manga and realized a few differences;

## The Storm

Anime messed the timing, they probably were not expecting the "Will of D" at
this time. Nami noticed the storm before Luffy was pinned at the execution
stand (Chapter 98). In the Anime, Nami noticed the storm after Luffy was
pinned (Episode 52). Leading me to consider the storm was either natural or if
Dragon was a fruit-eater (only an one-piece fan would understand "fruit-
eater") it was unintentional.

## The Gust

It is obvious Dragon saved Luffy from Smoker. Anime makes it look like Dragon
caused the Gust which freed Buggy, Alvida and the Mugi-wara (Straw hat) crew
(Episode 53). However in the Manga (Chapter 100), the gust seems to have
caught even Dragon by surprise.

## Not-So-Important Detail

When Smoker pins Luffy, he tells Luffy that "Luffy's luck has run out" in the
Manga (Chapter 100), but Smoker says his own bad luck has ended in the Anime
(Episode 53)

Therefore I think the lightning which saved Luffy was Coincidental, "Will of
D" or "Luck"

Monkey D. Dragon is most likely the one who cause the storm, at the time
probably just getting near the island or stepping foot on it. Whenever Dragon
is shown, the wind is blowing or there is a storm, meaning he probably
consumed a mythical zoan devil fruit of which are said to have the ability to
control the weather just like sengoku or marco. To further prove this, When
smoker found out dragon was luffys father he said “that explains what happened
at loguetown” most likely talking about when luffy was saved from execution by
a bolt of lightning which sanji called “divine intervention”

Dragon is also seen always wearing some kind of robe covering his body
probably to protect him from the constant rain or wind

Of course this is all a theory but it makes sense if it were true. Or maybe
Dragon ate another devil fruit which allows him to control wind, or he was
just strong enough to have his presence change the weather like when shanks
and whitebeard clashed

If his name was meant to be taken literally i wouldnt be suprised if he can
transform into a dragon like kaido (a blue dragon, dragons powers are green)
