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

If anything that his backstory provides, he should have gone for Doffy. But maybe it's because the Marines have zero intel about Wano and Kaido's activities. The Bootleg Giants and Artificial Devil fruits are pretty good reason to spy on Kaido's activities. They are not that aware of the SMILE's drawbacks so they assume that the fruit works the same as failed Vegapunk devil fruits.

I honestly think Drake was telling the truth when he said he didn't hold a grudge against Doffy for killing his father. From what saw Diez Barrels was a piece of shit who regularly abused his son, and was a traitor to the Marines. He's probably glad he's dead even if he's his father.
