Drake is flexible with his beliefs of Justice as he is not picky about potential allies in criminals and outlaws, going as far as request to join forces with Monkey D. Even when presented with the threat of torture, Drake stated that he would rather die than reveal his true allegiance, only deciding to keep fighting because he still had a mission to accomplish. In spite of the horrible treatment his father gave him, Drake still remains loyal to the Marines, putting his life at risk in order to infiltrate the crew of one of the Four Emperors. In the present, Drake seemingly has not regretted this decision, holding no grudge towards the perpetrators of his father's death. Indeed, by that point, Drake ran away when the opportunity presented itself, displaying no loyalty to his family. Barrels once stated that despite his strength, Drake was a coward and rarely contributed to his crew's operations. Īs a young man thirteen years ago, Drake appeared to be the reluctant, submissive type, obeying his father despite the abusive treatment he was given. When Barrels turned to piracy, Drake still thought of his father as a good man and kept following him. In his childhood, Drake was a Marine enthusiast and deeply admired his father, Diez Barrels, who served the organization as an officer. He also has a black headband with an eye-hole that is slanted so it only goes over his left eye. Īfter the timeskip, Drake no longer has his bicorne, exposing his now light orange hair spiked into a fauxhawk. Due to the mental and physical abuse he suffered from his father, he was undersized for his age and easily mistaken as a child by the Donquixote Pirates. Īs a young adult, Drake wore a tattered, bloodied shirt with pants and boots on the snowy Minion Island while with the Barrels Pirates, though later on during a supposed escape, he managed to acquire a somewhat tattered, thick winter coat with a hood as well as a pair of dark gloves. He appears to have been a playful and cheerful boy, as opposed to the stern and serious man he grew up to be. He had a rounder face, shorter hair, and a wooden sword at his side. Drake is shown wearing a small tattered Marine uniform, showing that he aspired to become a Marine since he was very young. In SBS Volume 64, Oda drew the Supernovas as children. Īfter the Summit War, he is seen wearing a scarf that is tied around his neck when he appeared on a winter island that was apparently under the protection of Kaidou. He also wears a black cape, which, from the inside, is crimson-colored, with a white fur lining around the neck. A belt with a large ornately designed circular belt buckle secures Drake's pants as well as his sword and axe to his waist. On the rest of his body, he wears leather pants and a leather shirt. The openings to both the gloves and the boots are also secured by the armor, which is rounded for the gloves and a sharp maple leaf pattern for the boots at the front of his knees. He wears armor on his relatively thin legs and arms consisting of knee-high boots and gloves that go up past his elbows, respectively. When seen from above, his bicorne greatly resembles the head of a Pterodactyl. The "X's", as well as that in his name, represents the Roman Numeral X for 10, not the English letter. On his broad chin he has an "X" (not confirmed to be either a scar or tattoo) and on his chest and upper body he also has another large "X". Underneath this headgear, Drake's hair is reddish brown, with brush-like sideburns. 5.4.1 Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New Worldĭrake is a tall, lean, and muscular man who wears what appears to be a combination of a white-plumed cocked hat with his crew's Jolly Roger on the side and a mask over his eyes.His treachery was eventually uncovered, however, leading him to attempt to ally himself with the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance. Drake served as one of the crew's Shinuchi, specifically one of strongest six called Tobiroppo. In Drake's endeavor as an undercover spy, he and his crew became subordinate to the Beasts Pirates, led by Kaidou of the Four Emperors, over the two-year timeskip. ĭrake is the son of the Marine-turned-pirate Diez Barrels, and was affiliated with the Barrels Pirates until he defected to the Marines. He is one of twelve pirates referred to as the " Worst Generation", and prior to the two-year timeskip had a bounty of 222,000,000. In order to go undercover as a pirate, he publicly defected from his position as rear admiral and founded the Drake Pirates. "Red Flag" X Drake (read as "Diez Drake") is the captain of the Marine Secret Special Unit SWORD.
