Character Discussion Drake will go undercover as a revolutionary

#1
Assuming his cover wasn’t blown, I think Drake’s next mission will be to spy on the revos. Why?

I think there is a thematic connection between Drake and Dragon. We know that strong VAs have zodiac names.

Given how the dragon is a zodiac animal, I think it’s very likely that Dragon himself was the Dragon zodiac before he defected.

Given Drake’s own name and the fact he has a model of the ryu ryu no mi, I think it’s very likely Drake will be promoted as the next Dragon zodiac.

Also another connection between the two. The freedom fighters’ symbol was a dragon in the shape of an X
Also not to mention, Drake fought cipher pol in wano, possibly hinting at him siding with the revos EoS

It's an interesting idea, but I doubt Drake will go undercover again for 2 reasons:
  • It takes time to infiltrate an organization of that level and reach a good position in the ranks (it took 1-2 years with the Beast Pirates, for example)
  • Now that he's back with his unit (Grus, Coby, Helmeppo, Hibari etc...) we'll probably see him actually leading his men and working in his habitat

If his cover was blown, then that would make sense

but if he’s still known across the world as a defector, then there has to be a purpose for it

Perhaps Apoo will tell cross guild the truth and they’ll put out a bounty for Drake. But otherwise he might stay as an undercover marine throughout the series.
