X Drake

X. Drake is a former Marine Rear Admiral 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.

Appearance
Drake is a man who wears a helmet shaped like a head of a bird. The helmet has an eye, which the centre pupil is actually that of an abstract man with its arms raised above his head being split in half.

When seen from above, his helmet greatly resembles the head of a Pterodactyl.

On his broad chin he has a "X" and on his chest he also has another "X". He wears amour on his legs and arms considered of knee-high boots and gloves that go up past his elbows.

On the rest of his body he wears leather pants and a leather shirt. He also wears a black cape, with a fur coating around the neck.

Abilities and Powers
Though he carries a four bladed axe as part of his weaponry, he is also known for swordsmanship. The sword he is seen wielding is a rapier-like sword. His skill is enough that he was capable of interrupting the fight of two other Supernovas with just one move.

He has also achieved physical strength to the degree where he was able to kick aside a "copy" of the Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma.

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. He also is aware of the Pacifista and Vegapunk.

Devil Fruit
He posesses what is referred to as a "rare ancient Zoan Devil Fruit", giving Drake the ability to transform into a pre-historic dinosaur like creature (presumably a Theropod Dinosaur). . In this form he is strong enough to directly wound one of the Kumas, roaming around the island, by biting him in the head, something that should be quite difficult.

Past
Drake used to be a Marine Rear Admiral before turning to piracy. According to Kizaru, Drake appears to have quit to see what it is like on the "other side".

Sabaody Archipelago Arc
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 a bit 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.

Curent Events(Spoilers)
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. By the time his former boss Kizaru arrived on the island, he was forced to attack him to save fellow supernova Basil Hawkins and Urouge in the midst of dealing with him and one of several Bartholomew Kuma beings invading the island. After Apoo makes his surprise attack, he is quickly dispatched by Kizaru, then later Drake is taken down with him and Hawkins with little effort.
