Was It All to Clear His Father’s Name?
Drake’s father, Barrels, also turned to piracy, but originally, he was a respectable marine. However, he dragged Drake into the pirate life and reportedly abused him. Despite this, Drake eventually became a marine himself…
Drake admired his father during his time in the Navy, but it seems unlikely that Barrels turned to piracy without a reason, leading to speculation that he may have been betrayed by the Navy.
Although Drake appears to have let go of any grudge against Doflamingo for killing his father, taking the stance that it’s all in the past, he likely still wanted to uncover the truth behind why his father became a pirate. It’s not about avenging his father or clearing his name now, but revealing the truth might be tied to restoring his father’s honor.
Drake might have violated certain taboos as a marine in his quest to uncover the truth, which could be why he could no longer stay in the Navy. Perhaps SWORD, as his comrades, shares in his past and his mission. If that’s the case, it makes sense why Drake infiltrated the Beasts Pirates and Wano, and why he sided with Luffy’s group against Kaido.
Becoming marines was likely about peace for both Barrels and Drake. They would never condone a war economy, so it’s possible that SWORD’s mission is to dismantle that business.
This concludes the introduction of the article. Thank you very much for reading until the end!
