What if Croco was a man with the appearance of a weakling? Would it be possible for him to lead an organisation like Baroque Works and become a Shichibukai? Not likely. On the other hand, there could be another explanation.
However, the fact that we saw Crocodile as a man(although only his back) during Roger‘s execution, may reduces the chances of this theory coming true. So, what if Crocodile is actually quite young, maybe the age of Luffy or something? Due to him being unable to gain status and nakama like that, he decided to make himself look older, this way becoming a man who could be respected by his nakama. Let’s remember here that Peter Pan is supposed to be a little boy that never grew up. That is certainly a reference to the crocodile that ate Captain Hook’s hand. He’s got the hook(duh :P) and he is also named Crocodile. The whole thing grew out of proportion, probably making it all over the world as news, thus leaving him no choice but to change his identity and appearance, with the help of Ivankov of course.Īnother really interesting theory stems from the idea that Crocodile is modeled after Captain Hook from Peter Pan. What if Crocodile’s dark secret is the fact that he actually is a woman turned into a man by Emporio Ivankov himself? Could that be the secret that he doesn’t want to be revealed? What if his scar doesn’t come from a battle, but in fact from a gender operation to change his face? Crazy, i know.Īn idea that sounds more possible to connect the two theories, is that Crocodile simply did something silly or embarrassing when he was a rookie. He is a miracle worker who can be described as the plastic surgeon of One Piece. We all know that Ivankov can turn every man into an okama. For today’s theory, let’s connect some dots now. The reason was that he challenged him in the past and suffered a humiliating defeat. What we learned then was that he held a grudge against Whitebeard. The relationship with WhitebeardĬrocodile played his part in the Marineford War after escaping Impel Down with Luffy and the others. He told him that Crocodile wouldn’t attempt to do anything funny, because Ivankov supposedly knew something about him. The one thing we should note here is what Ivankov said to Luffy before they set Croco free. The man who brought Crocodile his downfall(Luffy), was the one who freed him from the impenetrable prison Impel Down. He possesses the Suna Suna no Mi and also attacks using his hook as a weapon. One of the longest lasting villains in One Piece and the first person to utterly defeat Luffy. Crocodile is the former leader of Baroque Works and was introduced as a Shichibukai during the Alabasta Arc and Saga. A bounty of only 80,000,000 berries in 3 years is after-all nothing fantastic, meaning he was never a Super-Rookie implying he never stormed the world of Pirates like Ace & many other notable Pirates did.Hey everyone! Today we’ll be talking about Sir Crocodile from One Piece and his dark secret. This is what Ivankov holds over him, and as a result, his pride is hurt by his inability to reach such heights without his own power. Crocodile may have played a part in even recommending Kuma as a Shichibukai, so this may give some credence to this idea.Ĭrocodile couldn’t get enough infamy to be recognised as a huge symbol of fear, got the opportunity to capture Ivankov and have him placed in Impel Down on behalf of the Revolutionary Army, and this earned him his status as a Shichibukai and infamy. We also know that Vegapunk also has ties with the Revolutionary Army seeing as Bartolomeo Kuma of the Revolutionary was worked on by Vegapunk to aid the Straw Hats as Dragon intended. Crocodile pretending to be responsible for capturing Ivankov got him inside the impenetrable fortress to gather intelligence, and this is possibly what Crocodile finds embarrassing and somewhat crippling as he needed the help of another to reach this heights he in essence is trying to protect his pride and reputation and intends to keep this a secret.
