It’s worth noting that nearly every major villain in One Piece has some kind of backstory except for Crocodile. We know nothing about his past. Whenever he appears in someone else’s flashback, it’s always vague. There’s clearly a reason why this particular character’s backstory has remained a mystery for so long.
Exactly! And also his big mysterious secret with Ivankov that the latter used as weight against him to get his help during Impel Down to Marineford ofc.
Just wait until he hears Pluton is in Wano, he's gonna explode and celebrate at the same time lmao. Oda put him in Cross Guild for a reason with Buggy and Mihawk and even pointed out how similar he and Mihawk are with history of betrayal, severe trust issues and being lone wolves ultimately.
Oda is cooking up something huge with those 3, I GUARANTEE it. I can't wait for it when it comes eventually. Oda treasures those characters and he made Buggy a Yonko for a reason and Mihawk with a nearly 3.6 billion bounty on his own merits/strength alone and no crew and territory for a reason.
