With Jack having been revealed to indeed have an ancient zoan mammoth fruit, this opens up the possibility that maybe all of "The Calamities" may be ancient zoans, or perhaps just have an ancient animal theme. Which makes me wonder, could X Drake be one of them?

I mean it doesn't seem too far-fetched, though X Drake has only been on Kaido's crew for two years it's important to remember that Ace had only been on Whitebeard's crew for 2-3 years before being promoted to 2nd Division Comander. It's entirely possible that X Drake could have risen the ranks and became a captain and one of the top three members of Kaido's army.

This is the New World after all, even Zoro said during the Fishman Island arc, that if Luffy wasn't capable enough he would have had to step down as captain. Which is an important mentality to have for the strongest sea, if you're not strong enough your position will be usurped, and that sentimentality won't get you anywhere.

So could X Drake have taken the position of one of The Calamities? Let's look at his character...

Before he made his debut as one of the supernova, he had already attained the position of Rear Admiral for the Marines before defecting and becoming a pirate. This tells me two things.

1. He is someone who seems to be familiar with rising through the ranks of whatever organization he is a part of.

2. He's also used to defecting from an organization if it seems beneficial to him. He's done it once with the Diez Barrels pirates, and again with the Marines.

So is it possible he's become the third "calamity"? I think there's a high probability of this. But, with the other point I highlighted I think we should consider the possibility of him defecting from Kaido's crew and joining the SH alliance. This would leave a huge hole in Kaido's crew, especially if it left one of his subordinate crews leaderless. Meaning the chances for the Strawhat alliance to beat Kaido would undoubtedly rise. Which is something that definitely needs to happen if they want to have a chance at winning.

Now if Jack (Mammoth), and Drake (T-Rex) make up the first two calamities, who is the third? I believe there's a few probabilities. And of course this is all just baseless speculation but I'm going to state my opinions anyways.

1. A female with the Saber Tooth Tiger devil fruit (Neko Neko no Mi: Model Saber Tooth Tiger). After all we need more strong female characters. Could perhaps be the Calamity of Death.

2. A male with a pterodactyl fruit. This would give Kaido's crew a tactical aerial advantage for flight based combat. Could perhaps be the Calamity of Hurricanes.

3. Now this one is an oddball, but, how about a Megoladon Shark Fishman? This wouldn't involve the use of a devil fruit. Besides Jinbei and Tiger Fisher there's not really any impressively strong Fishman characters. I think this would make for an awesome character, and maybe add a little more diversity for Kaido's crew. Also it would make sense to have a character with an affinity for water on his crew. Could perhaps be the Calamity of Flood?

Anyways, this is it for my theory. This isn't really something that I've dedicated a lot of time thinking about, just a collection of ideas that came to mind when reading the chapter this morning. Most of this is raw conjecture on my part, but I hope that if anything it's at least an entertaining notion to think about. Thanks for reading guys :)

Drake isn't a calamity. Notice how Kaidou's men uses honorifics when addressing Jack and uses none when talking to Drake. Drake has been a Kaidou guy for two years so I doubt he has a position like that.

I don't think time matters, as I said it's the New World, strength talks and bullshit walks. Though the fact that they refer to Jack with honorifics may be due to the fact that he has been on the crew for such a long time, also with his attitude it seems like he's a man who demands respect. Also if Ace was able to become 2nd Division commander than I don't see why it's impossible for Drake to achieve the same kind of feat. Especially if a former calamity had died or something.

If he is.. then that'd be a good move on Oda's part. But lets hope Drake wasn't going to simply serve under Kaido, and was also looking for a way to go after him.

Nah, the 3 calamities were probably close to Kaidou since the beggining, I do think Drake became an important member in the last 2 years doe

Nah, instead of looking at climbing the ladder to the position and strength, you need
to look at what the 3 calamities are.People who leave destruction everywhere they go.
So far X-Drake has shown he was one of he calmest with Hawkins when the park got attacked
and that he isn't very reckless when trying to avoid Kizari.

He doesn't have with it takes to be one of the calamities personality-wise.
I'm sure the wiki on his personality is reason enough as to why he isn't,
even though people have gripes with it.

As a young man thirteen years ago, he appeared to be the type that is very reluctant to fight as Barrels stated he was "always a no-show" and reluctant to help (at least anyone in his crew) as instead of helping one of the pirates of the crew, he ran away instead (even though he was already stated to have "power" which he could have used to help).[3]

Drake displays a stern, dead-serious disposition at all times. He is also observant and patient and appears to be a pirate who avoids needless violence, especially if he knows that it would cause too much attention.[1] He has shown great bravery as he was willing to attract the attention of Kaido[11] even though Kaido was able to strike fear into even Doflamingo.[15]

Most characters that break everything usually are impatient and far from calm.

His personality doesn't match as one of the calamities. He seems like the calm one of the crew, someone who would have made a perfect FM for Kaido. His power is definitely on par with the calamities though.

We know nothing about the other Calamities, besides Jack we're just left to speculate. Simply because one of them is violent doesn't mean they all have to be as well.

Well the name "Calamities" doesn't really bring up anything calm

They're called the 3 calamities, a drought is a commonly known calamity
and Jack is rumored to leave places looking like they just went through a drought.

It's not that hard to put 1 and 1 together. Why would someone who isn't violent even be
called a calamity.

Being a subordinate to Kaido, Drakes individual tendencies don't really matter, if he's asked to be destructive he's obligated to follow through. That's what it means to be a member of a crew. And simply because he isn't needlessly violent doesn't mean he isn't a force to be reckoned with.

Just look at the carnage that Drake had left after ending Caribou's revolution. If that isn't reminiscent of something Jack would be capable of doing I don't know what is.

Yeah, that looks promising.

Well kaido is Yonko for a long time so his 3 best will not consist of Drake because he became with the help of three & Drake was not there at that time.

It would be lame if he was. It's not impossible that he is right under them though

Old WB had Marco, Jozu and Vista prior to Ace's arrival. In Kaido's case the calamities are his three established lieutenants & Drake his 'Ace'. A young upstart rookie who has made the waves and is recruited into the group due to his potential. Now, it might end up that he is: as strong as, more powerful or closer in power to the weakest trio.
