drake is an English surname derived from the Old Norse given name Draki or the Old English given name Draca both meaning “dragon” so its possible drake could have connections to the revolutionary army and its possible that drake was trained by garp ( it would be fitting)

blenheims:

also something big must have happened for drake to have left the marines and become a pirate which is the move his father made

Drake having a connection to the revolutionary army would be hella cool but then again I doubt it, mainly because Drake defected from the marines in order to become a pirate, for whatever reason, if his goal is reforming the marines or society than why not just join the revolutionary army or mysteriously pilgrim through the world like Kuzan?

I do not believe Drake was just so hellbent on freedom and life that he chose piracy, Drake is not that kind of man, maybe he’s vigorously looking for something or somebody? No idea, but yeah he’s by my favorite supernova and I want to find out as soon as possible.

And Drake being trained by Garp…That would be cool too, but I don’t know I have a feeling we would’ve seen a panel at least of that where Garp expresses his dislike over the actions of a certain redhaired pirate that turns into a T-rex at will, after all Garp cares a lot for the people he took under his wing, so not having seen anything about that yet doesn’t feel real
