Whitebeard’s Accidental Rescue

Edward Newgate — better known as Whitebeard — unexpectedly becomes Dragon’s savior.

In the middle of his own battle, Whitebeard’s devastating attacks create just enough chaos to distract Dragon’s opponent at the last second.

This unintentional intervention spares Dragon from certain death and sets the stage for his future role in the world.

The scans perfectly capture the timing of this moment, emphasizing its historical weight even though neither Whitebeard nor Dragon realize the significance of what just happened.
