I will say though while I thought Wano was going to be an Capone 2.0 arc as far as Drake went but with success, Oda throwing Kid, Killer, and Hawkins in there was certainly unexpected, but adds more interesting elements overall.
I thought Drake's story / role was going to open up more when he began to show up more frequently in Wano, but it still seems with everything going on at this point, we're still building up to get more info on him eventhough his role as an ally has now been solidified.
Also, I can't wait to see everything that Drake is actually capable of in a fight. While I don't participate in Battledome stuff - I just read it - it should get more interesting by then.
Drake could've tried harder in the short fight against Sanji in the anime, but he didn't, and while we know Sanji is pretty strong, calling Drake's defeat that a "low diff" is silly. He's clearly more of a challenge, and that's all I've got to say.
It's not looking great atm for Drake to be heading up to the roof himself to get in on the fighting like I had hoped, but I guess there's still a chance. I still think he deserves to confront and fight Kaido in any case.
Drake has been knocking on Kaido's door since pre-timeskip basically. I really hope he does have a hand in actually fighting Kaido. He literally said his and Luffy's goals line up and the defeat would benefit him as well. Don't count Drake out just yet, is my opinion.
If Drake is SLASHING with that second weapon of his, it's got to be a saber and NOT a Rapier, right? It looked like a big saber in the anime during the destruction of Amigasa Village at least.
Looking back at Drake's small bit of backstory during Dressrosa, it still bothers me why that one crew member would ask him to try to "do something" the cage if he didn't have some sort of ability at that time. I hope we get confirmation on that this arc since Oda seemed excited to tell Drake's story.
If we don't see Drake having Conqueror's Haki (which I think is plausible), he should at least have the Armament and Observation and even Awakening shouldn't be too much of a stretch at this point.
The reason I bring up Drake's backstory is because I feel that there is more to tell since he had a small spotlight in what was Law's backstory overall. Maybe we'll get a few flashback chapters during this Arc since as it stands, we don't know much about Drake.
