X Drake

X. Drake is a former Marine turned pirate captain of the Drake Pirates. He is one of eleven pirates who have been referred to as "The Eleven Supernovas" on Sabaody Archipelago whose bounties are higher than  100,000,000 when the Straw Hats arrive in the place. His name is based on real life privateer, Sir Francis Drake. While written as is, the "X" in his name is meant to be read as "diez", which means ten in spanish.

Abilities and Powers
Though he carries a four bladed axe as part of his weaponry, he is also known for swordsmanship.

As a former Marine, Drake has a deep understanding of the workings of the World Government, and is able to use this knowledge to protect himself from danger and predict the movements of the Marines.

History
After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Drake and his crew came to the Sabaody Archipelago to prepare themselves for the New World. While there he noticed two other pirates, Urouge and Killer, fighting each other. Knowing full well what would happen if they caused too much of a scene, Drake stopped their battle and told them to hold it off until they reach the New World. The two fortunately complied with Drake's request. As Drake along with his crew walked away from the two pirates, he was momentarily egged on by Trafalgar Law to fight. Drake however wasn't swayed by the latter's behavior.

As Drake continued with the rest of his crew around Sabaody, he noticed that there were very few Marines on the mangrove. This puzzled Drake abit since Sabaody was right next to the Marine Headquarters. It however didn't take long for Drake to figure things out as he received a newspaper with late breaking news while traversing Grove 24. Written on it, as he told the rest of his crew, was news that Portgas D. Ace, the recently captured second division commander of Whitebeard's crew, was sentenced to public execution. Knowing that Whitebeard would definitely retaliate, Drake figured that the Marines would definitely need all the manpower they could get for the battle that would come hence the shortage of Marines in the mangrove. All these disturbed Drake as it was if the World Government and the Marines were asking for war.

When the news spread over Luffy's attack of a Tenryuubito, he ordered his men to prepare the ship and sail out immediately, but not before stating an interest as to which of the three Admirals will be sent to deal with the situation.
