A little thread to talk about X Drake and his powers (this is not a PL thread).
X Drake is a SN, one of the most hyped new gen member, a Sword captain and out of the Tobbi Roppo the most relevant one.
My question was : Does X Drake have other powers than what he showed against Apoo or Sanji etc ?
1 : First about his DF.
Oda loves to wait a lot before revealing powers and Oda wants to keep the hype intact the longer possible and reveal the best form of someone extremely late for his real one vs one fight etc. That is why we will only see Queen and King and Jack hybrid during their last fight even if Jack fought a lot of strong enemies.
But with X Drake his first real post skip appearance was that :
The guy was immediately in Hybrid form, the most hyped form and likely the most powerful one. No wait, no hype, and no purpose : Oda offered us Hybrid Drake for free and Drake didn't even fight with that form. This is not like Oda style at all.
Same point for Drake other fight later during the arc : against Queen and WsW Drake used his hyrbid (I can understand why given the force in front of him). And against Apoo even while tag teaming with Zoro he used his Hybrid. Each time he did it as if it wasn't something special. Against Apoo I think Oda could have made the same point with base Drake. Especially when we have Zoro not going all out too by his side and ending Apoo without bandana etc.
Even when Page one used his hybrid this was more hype and more spectacular.
All of this leads me to believe that for Drake his hybrid is like G2/G3 or standard DJ post skip for Luffy and Sanji. Something that he uses a lot for good fight to show he is a bit serious but not his strongest mode.
So I think Drake has something more related to his DF. Something that will make the reader eye pop up a little bit more than what we had.
I think Drake can have an other form : his DF his a Allosaurus but Drake doesn't really look like one : one of the strongest asset of that type of beats are teeth and Drake hybrid is normal, he has no tail too etc. He looks a lot too much as a human. When you look at X Drake hybrid without knowing his DF you can't guess he has a T-rex like DF at all.
So I think he will have a hybrid 2.0 that looks a lot more threatening and hype.
I don't think he has awakening at all.
2 : Other powers
But maybe I'm wrong and Drake hyrbid is this one and only this one. And his other powers and hype will come from other types of powers :
- Rokushiki : maybe he is a master of the 6 powers thanks to being a Marine spy.
- Sword/Mace skills : maybe he will show high skills in this and his move set will be powerful and hype.
- Haki : maybe he has good mastery in haki and his hype will come from great haki mastery.
What do you think about Drake powers ?
What will be the true source of his powers ? Other DF mode ? or other powers ?
