One Piece Live Action season 2 is out and I see live action Crocodile and his dragon ring ignited the Crocomom/Crocodad theory again :D Good, good ^^
If you guys are interested I made a video about the theory from a ‘how the topic of gender appeared in One Piece throughout the story’ perspective ^^
WIPs that I don’t know if I’ll finish
First is Clown Croc giving the “hero blessed by the sun god” Dragon a difficult time
Then there’s clown Luffy in drag because he’s the son of “the Duke of theatrical tragedy” who can shapeshift to fit any scene or bit, but the boy can’t so the compromise his need for similar mischief is the mortal way. Lucy-bell (sometimes with an “é” at the end) is one of his characters he plays… a little too well at times.
Lastly Dragon as a “clown” attempting to infiltrate the circus kingdom by being one, tho he has to be careful not to be overtaken by the literal infectious atmosphere.
Okay, I admit, I NEED a fanfiction with this plot:
1. For whatever reason, Ivankov reveals Crocodile’s secret (that he is a trans man) to the world.
2. However it turns out, it is revealed that, before his transition, Crocodile was “dating” Dragon.
3. As we know, Luffy being Dragon’s son is no longer a secret… meaning, with 100% certainty, they could theorize that Crocodile gave birth to Luffy before his transition
And well.. chaos! Ultimately, I wonder how the world of One Piece would react to this — especially to the theory?
Couldn’t finish the original pic idea I had due to sickness soooo here’s something smaller.
Croco-clown dad being festive with tiny squeaker son… And Muppet trying to catch the moment.
Maybe Dragon fidgets a bit when he’s reading or he’s a bit heavy-handed with the quill when he takes notes, the quill tip scratching across parchment irritating Crocodile when he’s having mood swings.
Or Dragon tends to pull the salad for the telesnails apart very slowly and meticulously which drives Crocodile crazy when he’s having to watch him take 5 minutes to feed his snail a single leaf of salad. Or watching him peel an orange / tangerine, spending half an hour to get all the white bits away.
Maybe Dragon talks during Croc’s labor because he’s anxious and his tense silence before was unnerving Crocodile.
Precious
Imagine you’re Dragon and Crocodile pulls this out of his pocket. What are you going to do? Haha.
(I mean how big is a regularly sized baby in the hand of someone who’s over 2.5m tall? I’ve been asking myself this question ever since I drew my second Crocodad artwork.)
Edit: I fixed it. X’D
Wani doesn’t get it. That she had kids with No Brows is hardly surprising her. But she’s a Kuja, all her kids should be girls.
Meanwhile, ASL are spiraling, especially Luffy.
(I don’t know what kind of AU this is. Also, I haven’t drawn in weeks, sorry for the mess.)
My favorite theory in the world will always be Crocodad.
Will it be canon? Probably not, although trans Crocodile could possibly be canonized.
Have the characters ever interacted to make any minimal sense? No
Do I care about that? Not at all
I love this theory, the proof that you’re my friend is hearing this theory coming out of my mouth like a sacred ritual. I love the fanart, i love the whole fandom knowing about it, everything.
I even remembered that and it immediately improved my mood
Okay, so this post isn’t me going after those that believe in this theory. You can theorize and believe whatever you want, but I’m a bit curious about something.
So there’s a lot of evidence/clues that shows that Crocodile might have had a sex change, like Ivankov saying he owns him a favor, we didn’t see Croco’s face during Roger’s execution, we didn’t see his reaction to Luffy being revealed as Dragon’s son, and Oda’s drawing of him as a child could go for either gender really. And honestly, I can see it and wouldn’t be surprised nor complain if that is the case.
However, when it comes to the theory of Crocodile being Luffy’s mom, there’s one thing that confuses me which is that he tried killing him. Yeah, sure, maybe he didn’t know he he was or his full name, but Crocodile ran a criminal syndicate that did espionage and had spies under his payroll. Gathering information wouldn’t have been a problem for Crocodile, and even then, Luffy’s bounty poster clearly shows his full name, even the Monkey D. part.
is there something I miss or…?
Once again, I’m sorry if I offended anyone; it wasn’t my intention.
as much as i love the trans crocodile theory and want it to be true i dont think i could handle seeing how pre transition crocodile would look in the current one piece artstyle because if the fem!crocodile art oda drew is any indication wed be dealing with this
I don’t necessarily need Crocodile to be confirmed luffys mom. I need him to be confirmed as trans and I need oda to never actually reveal Luffys mom. That’s all I ask.
Is the theory absolutely insane and most likely never going to happen? Yes. But I’ve also developed an unhealthy attachment to it

(Self indulgence complete! … … … For now!)
crocodile is quickly becoming one of my favorite one piece characters not only because hes sexy but also because the way the show treats him is so vastly different than the fandom. in the show hes this towering intimidating powerful warlord who can easily drain the life out of anyone, and then you look at the fandom and literally all of the conversation around him is if hes transgender and gave birth to luffy. and its genuinely so large of a theory that its reached the conservative dudebro fans who then are transphobic and use she/her for fucking SIR CROCODILE FROM ONE PIECE. its literally this
Me writing Sir Crocodile: let this feral trans man commit crimes, he deserves it as a treat
I want crocodile to be luffys biological parent so bad you don’t even know. First off because objectively hilarious. Secondly the family fic potential! like there already are some great ones but like the amount would sky rocket. And third and most importantly if he’s trans he’d piss off the anime dude bros and that’s the most important thing.
My previous masterpost had too many links so I had to split it up into individual verses.
(Masterpost with links to further AUs)
Premise: A canon divergent AU where Dragon and Crocodile decided to raise Luffy in Windmill Village while still being a revolutionary leader and a warlord. They adopt Ace and Sabo.
The story follows the same path as the manga, but with a couple of changes and with the explicit aim to make Ace survive Marineford.
The tag for this AU is Stinky Child AU where you find the comics, additional art and text post answers about plot points.
Note: This is a Dragon/Crocodile and Crocodad AU. In the comics set early on Crocodile still switches between presenting male and female.
Childhood

Ace introduces Sabo to Dragon // Sabo interacting with Crocodile // Crocodile with his 3 boys (Illustration) // Sabo’s first present // Dragon has nightmares //Dragon gets Crocodile a new hand // Swooning over Criminals // The benefit of Logia powers
Pre Timeskip
Logue Town // Impel Down // Luffy and Crocodile reunite on Amazon Lily // Crocodile watching over a hurt Ace (Illustration) // Mother’s Day // After Marineford Ace wakes up // A potential reason why Ace survived // Ace and Crocodile are reunited on Momoiro Island //
Post Timeskip

This is the comedy variation of the Stinky Child AU where Dragon and Crocodile don’t keep their children a secret and there’s nothing the World Government can do against it.
Toys for Luffy // Everybody wants to be a girl // The return of Captain No Brows // Sabo feels left out // The kids are meeting Pops // Alabasta Trip + Follow up
