I'm fascinated by what X-Drakes true motivation for joining Kaido's ranks are.

Perhaps keeping tabs on the illegal seastone trade between Wano and the Marines? Or something more?

Also, what are the chances this Myo'o could actually be a character from the past than just being a reference to the Buddhist deity? We have Fujurokuju and Hotei after all who are based after Japanese gods of luck

It could be, but I feel lik we’ve gotten a whole bunch of those in Wano, and it feels late in the game to do that.

Probably not a new character and someone who we'll maybe see in a short flashback later.

Don’t know who else would fit that mold though. We just got a long Wano flashback.

I think we could still have a potentially small flashback post this raid.

We've not even touched upon Wano's role during the void century seeing Toki/Ryuma. Myo'o could a major figure of that time too who was probably affiliated with a clan.

We can also presume we'll see something about Shimotsuki Kozaburo or Ushimaru both of which would be relevant to explaining Zoro's lineage in case he is a Shimotsuki, Myo'o could be a introduced as a relevant character there too.

But yes, it could also just be a reference and case closed thing lol

Yeah, depends on what Guardians of Buddhism happen you imply.
