there is still time never kill yourself etc etc
💠 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….
✨Trans Crocodile!✨
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.
Crocodile stopped Ace’s execution: Now Crocodile explains this by saying he ‘didn’t want to let Sengoku have the pleasure of victory’ but seriously? What kind of petty ass BS reasoning is that?! Crocodile has dreams and ambitions, and yet he gives up trying to be the one to take down Whitebeard to randomly save someone he canonly mocked in Impel Down? Someone he doesn’t care about. Some people will tell you it’s because Luffy inspired him like Luffy does many others, but what exactly is Luffy doing in Marineford that he didn’t in Impel Down or even Alabasta? Nothing. That means Crocodile has an entire about face for no believable reason while completely off screen. Which we've already said isn't Oda's style.
Daz and Crocodile face Mihawk to help Luffy: Now the last time we saw Crocodile when this happened was him and Doflamingo beginning to fight each other. When Daz blocks Mihawk’s strike, Luffy questions it. Daz answers: It’s the Presidents order! That means Crocodile ordered Daz to specifically protect Luffy. Again, why? What reason did he have to do that? If this was some latent Crocodile has been inspired™️ moment, why wouldn’t Oda show it? Oda loves to hype up those moments, loves to detail it all to the smallest piece. But Crocodile just randomly decided to have his main man Daz look out for this person that he COULDN’T HAVE GIVEN A CRAP ABOUT JUST TEN EPISODES BEFORE. Then of course, right after Daz blocks Mihawk, Crocodile appears out of the fucking woodwork to block another attack. When Mihawk questions why he’d protect Luffy, Crocodile’s only response is “I’m not in the best mood now, Mihawk, you better watch yourself.” It’s interesting that he has no reason, no he just comments that he’s in a shit mood. Maybe because he just found out he once stabbed his own child in the gut and left him to die?!
Lastly Crocodile vs Akainu: The brother killing Lava Man™️ is probably the most dangerous person in the war. He has no mercy, no morals, no restraint. So the fact that as Luffy is laying comatose and weak, with Jimbe slumped over him, Akainu about to deliver the final blow, Crocodile coming out of no where once again is so telling.
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….
✨Dad-Odila is Canon✨
the things that we've been forced to manage through crowdfunding websites are insane. victims of a genocide are having to market themselves as someone who is worthy of being saved.
living for more than a year under an active genocide while seeing your oppressors cruelty and disregard for your life increase is so horrendous.
every single person in gaza has lost too much. i don't think everyone must have to share their personal loss in order to be deemed as a person worthy of safety. i think we should try to help those we can see asking for it.
i request you to help alaa and her children. she needs to buy supplies and remain safe. her area was bombed very recently. her fundraiser has been verified.

Btw, this is how conservatives keep getting to claim that trans people are a new thing no one has ever heard, because our history and existences have continually been erased or obscured systematically through out history.
The most famous example was 92 years when the Nazis raided the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the medical practice where the term transsexual was first coined and the first gender affirming surgery was performed in in 1931.
What did the Nazis do after raiding the library on May 6th, 1933? You may be familiar with these images
It is happening again.
