Drake (Xディエス・ドレーク, Diesu Dorēku?)[16] (read as Ten Drake), known as Red Flag (赤旗, aka Hata?), is the captain of the Navy's SWORD unit.[5] In order to infiltrate as a pirate, he publicly defected from his position as Rear Admiral[4] and founded the Drake Pirates. He is one of the twelve pirates known as part of "The Worst Generation",[17] and prior to the two-year time skip had a bounty of Belly 222,000,000.[1] Drake is the son of Marine turned pirate Ten Barrels, and was affiliated with the Barrels Pirates until he defected to the Navy. As a youngster, he was nicknamed Dory.[2] In his efforts as an undercover spy, Drake and his crew became subordinates of the Beasts Pirates, led by Kaidou of the Four Emperors, during the timeskip. Drake served as one of the crew's shinuchi, specifically as one of the Tobiroppo.[7] However, his betrayal was eventually discovered, leading him to ally himself with the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance.[8]

🦖 APPEARANCE 🦖

Drake is a thin, muscular, blue-eyed man. He wears a black (navy blue in the anime) bicorn hat with a large white feather behind it and his crew's Jolly Roger on both sides, with a black eye mask. His hair is orange or reddish brown and his sideburns are elongated. On his broad chin is an "X" (it is unconfirmed if it is a scar or a tattoo) and on his chest is another larger "X". These "X" represent the number ten in Roman numerals, also representing the letter in his name and its pronunciation, "Diesu". When viewed from above, his bicorn hat closely resembles the head of a pterodactyl. His outfit consists of a black leather jacket (navy blue in the anime) with a white fur lining around the opening and leather pants of the same color secured with a belt adorned with circular pieces on which Drake rests his axe and sword. On his arms and legs he wears armor consisting of tall metallic boots and gloves (reaching past the knees and elbows) surrounded with circular metal buckles in the case of the gloves and with an elk leaf pattern in the case of the boots. He also wears a black (navy blue in the anime) cape with a crimson interior. During the timeskip, when he arrived at a winter island under Kaidou's protection, he wore a sky blue scarf to protect himself from the temporary cold of the island. As a child, Drake wore a small, tattered Marine uniform, showing that he already aspired to become a Marine at a young age. His face was rounder, his hair shorter, and he did not have the "X" mark on his chin. He carried a small wooden sword. He appears to have been a cheerful and happy child in contrast to the stern and serious man he grew up to become. At nineteen, Drake was dressed in a tattered, bloody shirt and pants. He wore boots for the night.

He also modified his mask into a black band around his head with a hole over his left eye. 🦖 PERSONALITY 🦖 Thirteen years ago, when he was part of the Barrels Pirates, he was branded a coward by his father and for never helping out in critical moments despite being stronger than the rest. An example of this occurred when instead of helping his companions escape, he preferred to save himself, although this could also be due to a possible animosity towards them. Drake usually adopts a stern face at all times. He is a caring and patient man who prefers to avoid unnecessary violence, especially if he knows it will draw too much attention; stopping the dispute between Urouge and Killer and announcing that it is in the New World that they should let said violence explode. Drake is also very brave, being willing to attract Kaidou's attention despite the fact that the latter was able to instill genuine fear in a pirate like Donquixote Doflamingo. Despite not being a violent man, in battle he is shown to be surprisingly ruthless and bloodthirsty. This can first be seen during his fight with the Pacifista in the Sabaody Archipelago, where he smiles after biting the cyborg's head and making him bleed. It is later shown when he deliberately attacks Scotch, a subordinate of Kaidou in an attempt to get the Emperor's attention or Caribou, whom he brutally bit. Law implied that Drake had killed a large number of people in his career, reinforcing the idea that he is actually+

🦖 PERSONALITY 2 🦖

+Be someone combative Surprisingly, X Drake is quite weak when it comes to dealing with women, becoming greatly embarrassed upon seeing a woman in a hot spring. Drake has shown not to be a person with grudges, as despite Doflamingo killing his father, he admitted to not harboring any kind of resentment towards him. He has also shown no interest in rising to higher positions within his crew, admitting that he would not accept the position of head honcho should a position become vacant. Being originally from the North Blue, Drake is a fan of the comics of Sora, the Warrior of the Sea and Germa 66. X Drake, despite being an undercover marine, follows his own brand of justice, which he demonstrates by allying himself with Luffy and stabbing a CP0 agent after the latter tried to kill him. 🦖 FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS 🦖 🦖 TEN BARRELS 🦖 Barrels is Drake's father; as a child, he dreamed of becoming a Navy officer like Drake. However, when Barrels became a pirate, he physically abused his son, causing Drake to flee at the slightest opportunity. Thirteen years later, Drake has shown that he holds no grudge against Doflamingo, his father's murderer. Barrels Pirates Thirteen years ago, he was a member of the Barrels Pirates. However, his loyalty to the crew was weak, as he ran away at the slightest opportunity.

🦖 SOCIAL RELATIONS 🦖

🦖 MARINE 🦖 He apparently wanted to be a Marine as a child, possibly because of his father's previous affiliation with them. Thirteen years ago, Drake fled from the Barrels Pirates and was saved by the Navy. At some point, he joined the Navy and became a Rear Admiral, but publicly left to become a pirate. He seemed to be aware of the Pacifista project, but only recently learned of its termination while facing off against one of them in the Sabaody Archipelago. He secretly remains a member of the Marines, serving as captain of the SWORD special forces unit while monitoring the Beasts Pirates' movements in Wano Country.[5] His steadfast loyalty to the organization is that he would choose death over confession to enemies, even if it means enduring torture, and he intends to return to the Marines in full eventually. 🦖 KOBY 🦖 Drake and Koby work together in the SWORD organization and maintain some communication from time to time, reporting on the latest developments. Koby apparently trusts Drake enough to casually talk to him about Luffy.

🦖 SOCIAL RELATIONS 2🦖

🦖 WORLD GOVERNMENT 🦖 During his time in the Navy, Drake became loyal to the World Government. He did his best to follow the government's orders, but has come to question them when he saw the contradictions in their policies. His conversation with his partner Koby demonstrates this as he informs his colleague that CP0 is conducting negotiations with pirates in Wano Country despite their own laws prohibiting this practice. Drake states that he is afraid of the government's collusion with criminals and was shocked that he was unable to think straight. On Onigashima, Drake came into direct conflict with CP0 agents, who were aware of his position in SWORD. They attempted to assassinate him, leading Drake to ally himself with Apoo (whom he otherwise despises) to fight them. 🦖 TRAFALGAR D. WATER LAW 🦖 Nearly thirteen years ago, he and Law were on Minion Island for different reasons. Law needed the Ope Ope no Mi to survive while Drake's father, Diez Barrels, needed the no Mi to get money from the Navy. Drake served as Donquixote Rosinante's bluff back then, tricking Doflamingo into believing that the child the Navy had found was Law when it was actually Drake, indirectly saving his life. During the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, Drake seemed to know of Trafalgar Law and his exploits. In the Wano Country Arc, Drake freed Law from the prison located in the Flower Capital, revealing to him that he is a traitor of the crew. 🦖 SENGOKU 🦖 Sengoku took Drake in after the Minion Island incident, leading him down the path of the Navy.

🦖 SOCIAL RELATIONS 3 🦖

🦖 KAIDOU 🦖 Before the timeskip, Drake seemed interested in getting to know Kaidou, defeating one of his subordinates, Scotch, to get his attention. He is currently in the service of the Emperor and is loyal to him, crushing the rebellion led by Caribou on an island affiliated with the Beasts Pirates. However, this apparent loyalty was only part of his mission to infiltrate his crew.

🦖 SKILLS AND POWERS 🦖

When he was a member of the Barrels Pirates over thirteen years ago, Drake was the strongest member X Drake stops Urouge and Killer X Drake stops the fight between Killer and Urouge. Having been a Rear Admiral in the Navy, Drake has a deep understanding of the workings of the World Government, and is able to use this knowledge to protect himself from danger and predict the movements of the Marines. He is also aware of the power of the Pacifistas and the genius of Vegapunk. His considerable knowledge may have contributed to his extreme dangerousness. He is also very intelligent, as he interrupted the battle between Killer and Urouge, because he knew that they would only draw the attention of the enemies. Another demonstration of his intelligence is that he was able to maintain the facade of a pirate subordinate to one of the Four Emperors while at the same time making reports and keeping the Navy informed of any developments until he was exposed as a traitor. He was shown to have excellent combat skills, such as when he stopped the fight between Killer and Urouge with just one move. He also has great physical strength, as he was able to finish off a Pacifista with a flurry of aerial kicks. This is quite a feat, because when Bepo and Sanji attempted the same thing via their kicks, they ended up hurting themselves. Even though he was invoking Kaidou's wrath by attacking Scotch and his favorite island, he was able to live through the experience and made a bigger name for himself. Another example of his combat skills and strength is the fact that after joining the Beasts Pirates he obtained an important position in Kaidou's crew as a shinuchi and one of the Tobiroppo, proving to be one of the most powerful members of the entire gang. He is also powerful enough to destroy an entire village (Amigasa Village) and defeat his best friends.

Drake came to the capital with Page One in response to that request, meeting with Basil Hawkins. X Drake and Hawkins in the hot springs X Drake and Hawkins searching for O-Soba Mask (Sanji) in the capital's hot springs. The next day, he accompanied Hawkins to inspect the capital's hot springs in search of O-Soba Mask. Unlike Hawkins, he decided to stay outside and not enter the baths. After Nami was discovered, Drake tried to enter, but momentarily lost consciousness upon seeing the body of a woman. After recovering, he and Hawkins found themselves face to face with Sanji dressed in his raid suit. After that, he and Hawkins set out to capture all the followers of the Kozuki family that they found in the capital. The next day, Drake and several other high-ranking officials served as bodyguards for the execution of Shimotsuki Yasuie, commenting that the former daimyo had managed to capture the attention of the entire world. When chaos ensued on the scene, Drake transformed to attack Sanji from behind while he held Toko in his arms, but Sanji managed to dodge him and the two began to fight. As the fight progressed, Sanji tried to hit Drake in the head, but Drake avoided it by striking Sanji with his tail in a surprising manner. A day later, he met with Hawkins while the latter was trying to extract information from an imprisoned Law. Several days later Drake secretly contacted Koby to tell him about the alliance between Big Mom and Kaidou and alert him of the presence of CP0 in Wano Country. (more information missing)

🦖 HISTORY/PAST 🦖

Drake was born in the North Blue, the son of Ten Barrels and an unknown woman. He aspired to join the Navy just as his father had done. However, Barrels' conversion to a pirate caused him to begin physically abusing his son. Drake was part of the Barrels Pirates thirteen years ago. He was with the crew on Minion Island when the Ope Ope no Mi was stolen from the crew by Donquixote Rosinante, being treated like a brat and acting more like a servant to the other crew members. Later, when Doflamingo imprisoned the Barrels Pirates in his Torikago, he was the only one to escape the cage and thus the sole survivor of the crew. After being picked up by the Navy from such an event, Sengoku took care of him, eventually causing Drake to join the Navy and rise to the rank of Rear Admiral.[4] At some point he joined the SWORD division, and went out to sea as a supposed deserter who had become a pirate, founding the Drake Pirates; all with the mission of joining the Beasts Pirates to gather information. Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc After a long journey along one of the routes indicated by his Log Pose, Drake arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, to prepare for the New World. Drake first appears stopping the fight between the Supernovas Killer and Urouge. He then encounters Trafalgar Law, asking him how many people he had killed. As Drake continues his rest at the Sabaody Archipelago, he reads in a newspaper that the pirate Portgas D. Ace has been captured and is going to be executed. Imagining that Whitebeard will retaliate, Drake thinks that a huge uproar will occur and the World Government and the Navy will prepare for war. Drake calculated that the Marines would need all the manpower they could get for the upcoming battle, hence the shortage of Marines on the Mangrove. Upon learning that Whitebeard is going to be the first to be executed, Drake decides to go to war with the Marines.

Admiral Kizaru arrives and Drake is forced into action to help Urouge and Hawkins, who are fighting Borsalino and a Pacifista. Drake says he is worried, as Kizaru is the last person he would have wanted to meet. To Scratchmen Apoo's surprise, Drake transforms into a large dinosaur, biting the Pacifista's head, but although he manages to draw blood, the Pacifista shoots a laser at him and reverts back to his normal form.
