Drake Pirates

The Drake Pirates are an infamous and notable rookie pirate crew discovered on the Shabondy Archipelago around the time the Straw Hat Pirates arrived there.

Crewmates
They resemble European fencers and swordsmen, reminiscent of the three musketeers.

Crew Strength
The crew is presumably strong because their captain has such a high bounty and is a former Rear Admiral which is the 4th highest position in the navy.

It can be presumed that they are very strong for them to have made it all the way to Shabondy Archipelago
