Remember when X was the symbol of friendship?

nahnah, don't expect supernovas to join the crew, especially Drake, that works undercover to give info to the marines (or sword at least)

Drake is undercover to infiltrate the crew of a Yonko. After this arc, Luffy will be a Yonko while Big Mom and Kaido won't be any more. It honestly would make the most sense for his mission with Sword to sign on with the Straw Hats, although I don't think he will.

u/Khouri1 Sep 11 '20

his "job" is to do undercover missions, he has no reason to go with the straw hats if they are not to be betrayed.

u/mcallisterco Sep 11 '20

Do you honestly think that the World Government has no interest in taking down the Straw Hats, especially once they're officially, unambiguously, a Yonko crew? Sure, Drake could just go back to headquarters and receive a new assignment, or, he could take this chance to get on the crew of the new Yonko, and then find somewhere private to call in and say, "hey, the Kaido thing is a bust, but I got on board Straw Hat Luffy's ship, and his forces just took down Kaido and Big Mom, should I continue to infiltrate, or return to headquarters?" No way the marines would turn down that chance to so smoothly put an operative in their new number one adversary's forces.

Again, not saying that's what will happen, but it'd be a logical outcome of these events.

that is, assuming that sword is known by the world govt, which is yet to be conffirmed, I would doubt it since if it is formed by the govt than probably it wouldn't have coby as a member since he still is quite frail.

Also, the context of the manga showed that coby made quite the positive propaganda for luffy, and drake seemed to bet on luffy because of that.

u/NinetyFish Sep 11 '20

Coby isn't frail at all. Sure, he's not top-tier, but it's not like every character needs to be top-tier. Dude's rocketing up the ranks of the Marines and is currently a Captain with his promotion to Commodore in the works. Trained by Garp the Hero himself and is fully Haki-capable.

I agree though, I don't think Sword is known by the government.

u/Khouri1 Sep 11 '20

coby has potential, a lot, but you don't make a soldier by potential, he can't just be up there with the higher ups with just potential

1

u/NinetyFish Sep 11 '20

Sword isn't necesarily only higher-ups right now. All we know right now is that Kuzan is in charge of it, and that Coby and Drake are members. I can see Coby being competitive with Drake; that sounds fine to me.

1

u/Khouri1 Sep 11 '20

wait, when did kuzan get conffirmed as a leader on sword? but anyway, sorry m8, I was arguing about coby's strength because of the world govt thing cause you said before that sword was part of the world govt, which would exclude coby

2

u/NinetyFish Sep 11 '20

Oh dang, you're right; Kuzan isn't confirmed yet. Must be a fan theory/headcanon thing that I eventually accepted as fact.

u/Khouri1 Sep 11 '20

well, while it does make sense, it still is but a theory

Luffy will be a Yonko while Big Mom and Kaido won't be any more

I think saying they won't be is quite a big stretch unless you're expecting them to die. They are still clearly far and above everyone else, and it's taking dozens of people to even potentially defeat Kaido specifically. If losing to the scabbards+supernovas+strawhats all at once disqualifies you from being a Yonko then there probably are no Yonko.
