The point in which we are in the story concerning Drake, he lost the combined might he had with Hyogoro due to him being cured and they seem to have nearly taken out the forces that were with Apoo. I have no doubt he can take out the rest of the fodder, but that can't leave him with even more of a fight left with Apoo, can? It's been going on for a long time with and without Zoro.
I wonder happened to the Drake Pirates between the time of arriving on Kaido's to them not being seen Post Timeskip at this point. WW and Sasaki were called out for having had their Own Crew once, but Drake did as well. It seems a little fishy, but maybe they just returned to the Marines if he was going solo.
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.
