‘One Piece’ chapter 990 release date, spoilers, leaked scans: Drake fights with Luffy’s alliance after freeing Law from prison

Since the start of the Wano Kuni arc, many fans view Drake’s loyalty to the Beasts Pirates as questionable even though he was later revealed as a member of the Tobi Roppo. “One Piece” chapter 990 will prove that hunch was right. Drake would even end up asking Luffy if he could fight for their alliance.

‘One Piece’ chapter 990 leaked spoilers: Why Drake is asking to join the Pirates-Samurai-Minks-Ninja alliance

There is now a full-on war happening in the series so fans can expect an endless amount of action couple with more revelations. The highlight of “One Piece” chapter 990 is going to Drake’s past actions and future plans in order to survive.

Leaked scans of “One Piece” chapter 990 with fan translations reveal that Queen, Hawkins, and Who’s Who are teaming up with the latter hell-bent on killing the former Marine. The three confirm that it was Drake who set Law free from prison some chapters ago. It can be recalled that Law was captured after the chaos in Rasetsu, but a mysterious figure helped him escape and even allowed him to interrogate Hawkins.

That mysterious figure is confirmed in “One Piece” chapter 990 to be Drake. Given the tight situation the Beasts Pirates are currently in, they cannot afford to let any betrayal go unpunished. But before the Queen, Hawkins, and Who’s Who finishes the job, Drake manages to escape and lands exactly at the current location of Luffy. Together, Luffy while in Gear 4th form and Drake using his X-Caliber attack are able to strike down Numbers at once.

Weighing his options, Drake knows his only chance at survival is to side with Luffy’s alliance. So the leaked final page of “One Piece” chapter 990 shows the former Marine asking Luffy to let him fight on their side, which then surprises the Straw Hat captain.

Unfortunately, “One Piece” chapter 990 ends in a cliffhanger as the chapter ends even before Luffy could process what Drake is requesting and even provide an answer. Also, the scans indicate that there will be a two-week break after this installment is released.

“One Piece” chapter 990 will be available online for free on Sunday, Sept. 13. It is highly advised to wait for the official copy, for the sake of accuracy and supporting the series, which can be accessed on Shonen Jump and Manga Plus.
