Why is Monkey D. Dragon the most dangerous man in the world? Being the leader of the Revolutionary Army is all good, but without taking any actions he's still considered to be above the likes of the Worst Generation, Blackbeard and the other Yonkou. Being similarly influential, there must be something that sets Dragon apart from the others. This is a combination of two theories on Monkey D. Dragons past and his powers
To begin, we have to look at the Marines and mythology
Yes, that's right, Dragon is a former Marine. In fact he was a Marine Admiral and most likely knows the secrets of the Void Century.
It's common belief that the Admirals are matched to the Animals within the story of Momotaro. But I see it as just a coincidence. What's more likely to be the case is Chinese Mythology in which there are four seas, much like the One Piece world:
Each sea has a stangely coloured animal, and to boot, there's a Purple Tiger and Green Bull on mainland China according to mythology (Fujitora literally means Whisteria (shade of purple) Tiger, Green Bull literally means Ryokugyu)
BUT WAIT! There's one missing
Coincidentally, Dragon's name is Dragon. Personally I don't think his real name is Dragon and it's more of an alias, taken from his Admiral nickname.
"But surely this is just coincidence?" Wrong.
His father was Monkey D. Garp, a hero of the Marines who has been shown to force unto Luffy and Ace his desire for them to become strong Marines. This is likely to have also been the case with Dragon
He knew Smoker on personal terms when he saved Luffy back in Loguetown too: as two members of the Marines, isn't that a little bit weird?
Not only does the mythology match up, but his origins and relations match up too. On top of that, there are reasons for him to side against the World Government. According to Kuzan he can now pursue justice in a different fashion, and sea things he could never see otherwise
Dragon had an interest in Robin. During the timeskip the two actually met. Why would he be interested in and want to make acquaintances with somebody who can read the Poneglyphs? Well, firstly, why not? And secondly because he was told the true history by Roger and wants confirmation of it. I can't find the panel, but it is said he was present at Loguetown and talked to Roger while he was in his cell before being taken to the platform. Knowing the true history and using the same reason as Kuzan, he's hoped to follow justice in his own way.
But this still doesn't explain his immense powers and it isn't entirely convincing that Dragon is the most dangerous man. There's another reason why he's the most wanted man in One Piece:
Weather control: Uranus
I believe ate Uranus. The strongest Devil Fruit in terms of destructive capacity.
Pluton is a highly overpowered battleship, and parallels Hades and Pluto, gods of the underworld
Poseidon is a Mermaid born every millenia able to control sea kings, paralleling Poseidon, god of the ocean
Uranus, father sky, was the god of the sky, the universe and all that is beyond. Uranus fought with all 25 of his sons and daughters and was only just defeated. We can deduce two things from this:
1. It is the most powerful of the three weapons
2. It has the ability to control and manipulate weather and natural disasters
Uranus has also been tipped as being capable of causing global scale destruction
Coincidentally, Dragon has the same abilities. He caused an obscure and strangely single and pin point accurate lightning strike to save Luffy. On top of this he created a hurricane in Loguetown and is always seen when it is raining. He even called the weather a "storm of justice", hihgly inferring to his abilities as weather manipulation and not just a coincidence. This also supports the idea of pursuing justice in ways other than the Marines, therefore implying and strengthening the case that he was a former Marine:
With his name, Dragon, and his Alias, White Dragon, it's easy to hazard a guess at what type of Devil fruit it will be. A mythical Zoan. Dragons boat has Chinese Dragons running down the side of his ship, which matches the Chinese mythology used earlier in identifying his Admiral name:
It's important to note that all Chinese Dragons could control the weather, although the most powerful of all these Dragons is Shenlong, the "rain bringer". Dragon is clearly the "rain bringer" in One Piece as it's always raining when he's around. Shenlong also had the ability of manipulating winds, clouds and lightning strikes
There were many attempts to kill Shenlong with weapons, even so by Gods, and none of them could penetrate his scales. This shows just how powerful this devil fruit is and will prove to be the Ultimate destructive force easily warranting of the name Uranus
Not convinced?
Vegapunk has created Dragons as results of his experiments and has worked on weapons of mass destruction. Both of these are aspects of Uranus. He could be employed to try and recreate Uranus.
This is why Momonosuke is so important, he's wanted by Doflamingo and labelled as a "trump card" for some reason. His "failed" Devil Fruit is of a Chinese Dragon, able to create and manipulate clouds.
This adds up when you think about it. Why would Vegapunk be so fixated on Dragons and methods of destruction? It must be a Zoan fruit like Shenlong. This explains why Doflamingo and possibly Kaidou would want him. He is a false/faulty Ancient Weapon.
Conclusion/TLDR:
Dragon was a former Admiral and is heavily centered on Chinese Mythology, this leads me to believe he knows the Void Centuries truths and that he ate Uranus, the ultimate destructive Devil fruit. This can be consolidated by the similarities between Momonosukes artificial fruit and the real thing which Vegapunk is trying to replicate for the World Government. Hence, Dragon is the most dangerous man in the world and it explains all the strange phenomena that happens around him.

North sea/North Blue contains a Yellow Monkey, Kizaru literally means Yellow Monkey
South sea/South Blue contains a Red Dog, Akainu literally means Red Dog
West sea/West blue contains a Blue Pheasant, Aokiji literally means Blue Pheasant

West sea/West blue contains a Blue Pheasant, Aokiji literally means Blue Pheasant

Yeah it's always either rainy or windy with Dragon aroundWith his name, Dragon, and his Alias, White Dragon, it's easy to hazard a guess at what type of Devil fruit it will be. A mythical Zoan.
