The Drake Pirates are an infamous and notable rookie pirate crew introduced on Sabaody Archipelago around the time the Straw Hat Pirates arrived there two years ago.[1] They originated from the North Blue, and are led by one of the Worst Generation, X Drake.
Crew Members
Edit
They resemble European fencers and swordsmen, reminiscent of the Three Musketeers.

Crew StrengthEdit
The crew is presumably strong because their captain is one of the Eleven Supernovas and a former Rear Admiral, which is the fourth highest position in the Marines. Another suggestion that the crew is strong is the fact that they made it all the way to the Sabaody Archipelago, despite them being a "rookie" crew. They were also skilled enough to escape Kizaru's capture during his raid on the island while their captain was taken down by the admiral. Also, their captain is not afraid to challenge a subordinate of Kaido, despite Kaido being one of the Yonko, in an attempt to show his strength.
ShipEdit
The crew's ship is a slightly modified Marine battleship with inverted colors, possibly Drake's original ship when he was a Marine. Their ship has been coated with the Yarukiman resin, allowing it to submerge underwater by reducing its buoyancy, and withstanding the water pressure of 10,000 meters.

The crew arrived at Sabaody Archipelago, around the same time as many of the other rookie crews. Soon after, X Drake breaks up a fight between Urouge and Killer, stating that if they wanted to fight, they should save it for the New World.[1]
After Monkey D. Luffy attacked Saint Charloss, the captain of the Drake Pirates came in contact with Admiral Kizaru and a Pacifista. He, along with Basil Hawkins, Urouge, and Scratchmen Apoo clashed with both but got away safely.[2][3]

The crew watched the Whitebeard War as it unfolded on a screen at Sabaody. The crew later went close to Marineford on their ship to see the beginning of the New Age with Shanks ending the war.[4][5]
