this is so upsetting, PLEASE rb to spread awareness
PLEASE, PLEASE REBLOG THIS, WHETHER YOURE JEWISH OR NOT.
THIS IS A SUPER IMPORTANT PART OF OUR HISTORY, DONT LET IT GET DESTROYED.
perhaps help take steps to stop them now from future attempts...
*survives the horrors by being such a silly goofy guy that my presence fundamentally changes the genre*
Okay here me out y’all…
….what the fuck were in those pills?!
Zoro’s mother’s name being Tera makes me 100% certain that she had Green hair. But also think about this, Sanji’s mother’s name was Sora which means air, Tera ofc means Earth, so Luffy’s mother must be water, and what animal is connected to the water?
Crocodile!
Mic drop*
That crocomom instinct sure is strong
This is totally what happened right? We all agree on that?
Pfft, like I’d even embarrass myself like that… baka
The funniest thing about Crocomom is that it’s just stupid enough that I could see Oda doing it. Like the entire concept of the cross guild or Fifth Gear being a literal cartoon character. Crocomom is real!!!
It’s not even that well hidden
My new crack theory is that Crocodile’s father is actually Rocks, not Whitebeard, and his hatred for Whitebeard comes from something to do with their shared history with Rocks.
Crocodile having no backstory so far is representative of Crocodile’s history having been erased by the government in the process of trying to erase Rocks from history, also why Crocodile has never used nor announced a last name. Could even explain why he knew so much about ancient weapons.
Add the theory of Luffy's mom being Crocodile's sister, and you get a truly intimidating family tree.
I don’t have a sister.
I sit cross-cross-applesauce as my feral linage demands.
It is the only right way to sit. Fools.
Croc is connected to a creature with a banana on its head, it’s basically his spirit animal.
Dragons last name is monkey.
Oda already told us that dragon desires croc through these subtle word clues.
Dadodile comfirmed!!!
Yes the monkey did like my banana 🍌 😏
Random guy that hates Crocodile being Luffy parent for no reason: if Oda planned it then why is there no evidence for the theory from Alabasta?!? Huh?!
Me, an intellectual:
Her green and ALMOST reptilian persona was a big part of why I assigned her that holiday…
Sir Crocodile 🐊
Yes I was and am gorgeous, let’s move along now.
blades and swords look at mihawk and be hmmmmm i bet the strongest sword man would handl e me so well...
i would die to know how all those greetings went in their organization
How embarrassing for my right hand man— or should I say left hand?
💠 First of all the agents code names being so gendered: Every single digit agent is Mr with a Mrs, or Ms partner. It sounds like it’s just an aesthetic choice for Crocodile’s organizational set up but combined with my next two point makes it feel more like early 2000’s hinting.
💠 Next point is Crocodile’s name. His moniker is different from almost every other powerful pirate the story introduces to us. He isn’t just Desert King Crocodile, he is Desert King Sir Crocodile. Again it is oddly pronoun centered. Like he is trying to remind people that he’s a guy. Again, alone this means nothing but all together if feel like a hint.
💠 Lastly the introduction of Bon Clay.
Bon Clay is our first canon queer character in One Piece. He makes mention to being a girl many times and feels like a joke character when we first meet him. But as we know in One Piece, a pirates crew is a branch off of the Captain. We get to know about our villain Captains through their underlings.
Each of the agents we met leading up to Alabasta told us something about Crocodile, but what does Bon Clay tell us about Crocodile? For one we know that Crocodile isn’t prejudiced to queer people like Bon Clay alludes to others being a few times. Crocodile even allowed Bon Clay to be both the male and female of his team.
But I believe there is more to it, I believe this was our biggest indicator that Crocodile himself was more than he seemed.
💠 First is how Ivankov’s existence blows this entire theory into the realm of actually possible. The fact that someone exists that can change a persons body for forever is so incredibly crucial.
And not only does Ivankov exist but has met Crocodile back when he was just starting his pirating career.
None of us can forget the manga panel in chapter 540.
This was the moment this theory was born, Ivankov telling us that he knew Crocodile's "secret" or "weakness" depending on the translation. Many people will say Ivankov is talking about Crocodile's weakness to water. But we already know that, so why would Oda make it so mysterious? No there is something much more life altering that Crocodile doesn't want anyone to know.
💠 Next up was the reveal of Baby Crocodile and how it’s deliberating ambiguous what gender Crocodile is.
Every other Warlords childhood-look-reveal has their gender obvious, so why was Crocodile left out of that?
💠 Then of course we have Gold Rogers execution, and how almost everyone got a reaction panel. But not Crocodile. No we only see the back of his head.
Oda has shown that he loves to get every single characters reaction to major events, sometimes to a fault. So why is he trying so hard to hide Crocodile from us?
It just isn’t Oda’s style to leave someone out unless their is some kind of secret he wants to build up too.
💠 And don’t forget, Oda himself plays with this theory by teasing us with an official female Crocodile drawing.
💠 We also know that Oda likes to hint at things in his manga covers. Now even I know to take this with a grain of salt, but with everything else I think it holds some weight.
Bottom line….
This is where people begin to call people like me crazy. But I whole heartedly believe Crocodile is Luffy’s mother.
Now let’s get one thing out of the way. Some people out in the world are going to ask me: wEll WHy DiDn’t crOcoDiLe REcogNize LUFfy’S lAst nAMe?! I hate that question because the answer is obvious.
Dragon didn’t tell anyone his last name. Even Ivankov didn’t recognize Luffy’s last name. So Crocodile couldn’t have recognized Luffy by his name.
Now let’s begin down this winding road.
💠 First is the parallels between Crocodile and Luffy. They seem to have a lot in common.
Just like Luffy, Crocodile has the undying loyalty of his crew. They may fight with each other but they all respect Crocodile, even though they had only just realized who he was. He inspired confidence in those following him, to the point that Daz Bones still followed Crocodile after Marineford.
Crocodile was highlighted to be who Luffy could be if he gave up on his dreams. And I trust that parallel more since One Piece was supposed to end a little bit after Alabasta.
And that isn’t even bringing up the way Crocodile seemed to be trying to lecture and scold Luffy all throughout their first two fights. He acts like a parent (not even specifically Luffys parent, he just behaves like a parent in nature) in almost every scene he’s in.
💠 Now let’s talk about how much Crocodile and Luffy look alike. Oda has only ever suffered from same face syndrome with his women, so the fact that Luffy looks so much like a young Crocodile can’t be explained away.
And of course there is the Mafia OP theatre episode.
You cannot tell me this it not purposeful at this point.
💠 First and foremost I want to make it clear that throughout Impel Down Crocodile couldn’t give a shit about Luffy’s well being. He is never once shown reacting in any concern when Luffy began facing down anyone strong. Not even Magellan.
💠 When Crocodile got to Marineford the first thing he did was attack Whitebeard.
Any time we saw him after that and before the reveal of Luffy’s dad, he was fighting to attack Whitebeard with no regard for anything else happening.
💠 Then the reveal, when Luffy’s father is announced Crocodile’s reaction in the anime is conveniently absent. This is coming from a piece of media that LOVES to show every single persons reaction to every big reveal and development.
💠 After the reveal of Luffy’s dad Crocodile seemingly disappears from the limelight, we see him for a moment facing down Jozu. But notice the unique Oda style Trauma Eyes™️. The stylistic eyes of someone that just had their entire world shook up for the rest of Marineford.
💠 I’m only going to briefly mention the sandstorm that brought Buggy to Luffy during his first confrontation with Mihawk. It could have easily been a coincidence but we all know Crocodile can aim those sandstorms from the information we got in Alabasta.
💠 Alright, let’s end this with the three major moments Crocodile stepped in when he didn’t have too.
The fact is Crocodile went above and beyond to save Luffy. That final stand against Akainu is so powerful. Crocodile doesn’t just save Luffy, he rushes to Luffy's aid, slicing through Akainu and reassembles to stand protectively between them. He did not need to do this at all. Oda didn’t need to have him do this either.
There were plenty of other characters that could have essentially done the same exact thing, but Oda choice to have Crocodile, someone that shouldn’t have been on Luffy’s side at all, save his life in the final moment.
And then! Yes, your hearing me right, Crocodile doesn’t stop there. Without a word, Crocodile uses Sables to get Luffy to Law’s ship. He risked his life, faced down the one person that could kill him without a second thought, and sweeps Luffy away to safety without any stated reason at all. In fact everything he says is deliberately vague. Crocodile doesn’t believe in loyalty, he dumps people if they are weak (see; Alabasta Crocodile vs Luffy desert fight) so his line of “you gotta protect the one you wanna protect! Don’t let them have their way!” Feels so out of character. Crocodile has to have a reason for this odd behavior.
And no, it doesn’t end there! Because In the defense of Luffy, Crocodile has an awesome and powerful moment where he stands in unity with all the Whitebeard commanders. HIS ENEMIES. Crocodile stands in unity with the people he himself stated he hated more than anything for Luffy!
Notice how the sandstorm Crocodile summons to whisk Luffy to safety is positioned right over his belly. Don’t @ me.
So in conclusion….
Oda thinks he’s so damn slick.
I don’t understand why it was necessary to write this entire thesis, everyone in their right mind already knows this is true.
Yes, I am an actual gator.
The Grandline is vast and strange, one day a group of explorers, one with a stupid white mustache, accidentally turned a gator into a child.
He took me to his captain and raised me. I couldn’t talk, my teeth were sharp, and my eyes growled red in the dark—
It was tough learning the ropes of being human, but I picked it up quick since I was still so young. It took a while to stop trying to drown my food, get used to vegetables, and learn the nuances of human behavior.
Tomatoes reminded me of the rotten flesh of a well aged drowned carcass, so those became my favorite. Over time my tapetum lucidum faded, and my teeth became less sharp, but I will never forget.
The ones who raised me forgot, they told me they don’t know what species I used to be, but I know. I must have been one of the kings of gators, the bananawani. It only makes sense that I’d be the best.
Is any of this true?
Who knows.

You all may use this picture should you wonder what being pregnant with Luffy was like.
Are you a real crocodile? Or what?
Can't I keep some things private?
my joke headcanon is that the reason doflamingos outfits got more competent around his mid-to-late 20s before sucking again is because rosinante was curating his wardrobe before doffy shot him
Yes that ex of mine certainly had no fashion, bastard even gave me a hideous orange vest!
That maroon suit was the biggest reason to mourn Rosinante.
I did not like the hobby-hobby powers when they were first introduced. It felt too contrived I felt that the memory aspect and toy powers should have been split between two different people or something else. But then this happened.
Devil fruits represent people dreams. This is an amazing revelation for many thematic and practical reasons and explains so much.
But it got me thinking what dream, whose dream, could create Sugar’s fruit? And the answer quickly became more and more obvious the World Government.
The hobby hobby fruit allows people to truly be forgotten and controled. There is no possibly for rebellion no way to pass your will on. Inconvenient people are now obedient toys dancing on the world government’s strings.
And what better place for this fruit to be than in the hands of a follower of a former celestial dragon Doflamingo.
This power is perfect now.
My ex always did find a way to capitalize on others dreams.
