Drake (Non-Canon)

Lieutenant Commander Drake (ドレイク) is a Marine officer stationed in G-8 Marine Base. He is often seen chasing after the Straw Hat Pirates during filler episodes and even movies.

Appearance
He has brown hair with muttonchop sideburns. He wears a marine cap with an overcoat draped over his shoulders, over a blue suit.

Personality
He is very persistent, as he is always seen chasing the Straw Hat Pirates. He easily gets irritated whenever he fails.

Movies
Drake was first seen chasing the Straw Hats in the fourth One Piece movie. He and his men were initially chasing their ship, the Going Merry, until a storm suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

As he was pursuing them, Drake received a call from headquarters. He was told that a number of pirates were gathering around his current location in order to hold the Dead End Race. He was then ordered to continue scouting out the area for pirates. He was also told to be on lookout especially for Gasparde who was reported to be in the vicinity.

He was seen later in movie 5.

G-8 Arc
Upon seeing the Going Merry, Drake comments that he saw it twice before. During the G-8 filler arc, Vice Admiral Jonathan uses him to set up ambushes for the Straw Hats. He was also ordered to examine Roronoa Zoro who had just been captured by the Vice Admiral.

When he learnt that an unknown Doctor was operating the injured Marines who had been caught up in a storm, he thought that it may be one of the Straw Hats Pirates and went to the surgery room to question Dr. Kobato but he was not able to ask any questions since the Doctor was treating Marines.

When he heard that an unknown new recruit was wandering around, he went to the harbour and questioned Usopp about his unit. He managed to trick him with his questions and thus deduced that he was one of the Straw Hat Pirates. He captured him and sent him to the command center where Jonathan interrogated him since Usopp claim he was a Marine and not a pirate. For a moment, Usopp was thought to be the special inspector from Marine Headquarters and Drake was threatened by Usopp for his behaviour towards him. He set a trap with Chief Petty Officer to capture Sanji and Monkey D. Luffy but they failed and let them free Zoro and Usopp.

Whitebeard War
In the anime he was shown in Marineford when Ace's execution was announced. He arrived with Vice Admiral Jonathan.
