My biggest problem with the theory is that the Ivankov interaction part doesn't fit with how Oda normally does reveals. Let me explain: Oda likes putting pieces of the puzzle all over, but NEVER puts two direct pieces one next to the other until the reveal is near. If another character teased crocodile with ivankov MAYBE i could see it, but Ivankov being the one that hints at a backstory with crocodile makes it so, in my eyes, Oda never intended them to have such a direct connection, at best Crocodile is an ex-revolutionary (which actually would make more sense). Once you see that, you realize all other part of the theory are fully reliant on ONLY this aspect and all other parts of the theory crumble. "why call himself sir?" because it's an honorary title, seeing how he wanted Alabasta in the past and he was a mob boss more than a pirate it makes sense. "why pairing man and woman in Barroke works?" for all we know, this may just be Oda's way of making the Mr 02 joke, and that's it... honestly it never needed much explaining. "Why show him from behind at Roger's execution?" so we can't see his face to know what expression he is making, for all we know, he could be Gol D. Roger's brother, or a massive traitor (both possible, seeing how he once dreamt of being king of the pirates)... If his backstory changes how the character is seen then we may get an expression during the execution that we are not supposed to see yet. "he looks feminine as a kid and as a seraphine"... he looks like a scrawny kid, not that different from Ace tbh, I don't see it... I mean it, he doesn't look feminine at all to me, he just looks like a kid. "Why did he defend Luffy?" i raise the bet... if crocodile was his mom... Why would he just protect him from direct threats, if crocodile was really Luffy's mother there is NO WAY he wouldn't search the whole sea during those two years just to make sure Luffy is okay and we would've seen more of a reaction when he saw the new Yonko posters. The theory is fun, it's really fun... but in my eyes, it doesn't add up due to the Ivankov scene being placed at the center of the theory when compared to Oda's style of writing.
You bring up some good points. I think it is likely he may have been a revolutionary trying to get an ancient weapon for himself so no one else would in alabasta
Oda already stated that Luffy mother already appeared more than 1 time in the manga in a SBS. BUT, altough Crocodile is probably an ex-female turned into male, he is not Luffys mother, he just respects Luffy after fighting him. The secret is probably that he can't use haki because he was a womanl. I can't see Ivankov using that he was a woman against Croco Boy, is probably the haki thing.
I think kenjaku being mother of yuji is inspired by crocodile

i mean, i like the theory of crocodile being female in the past but him being luffy's mother is a stretch
I agree but it would be a really interesting twist
If crocodile turned into woman he can counter it with Haki and turned back to normal,
Crocodile secret bloodline
He could counter it but chooses to stay a man I guess
Can we please stop using pictures of Eiji Aonuma for Oda
I was scared about watching this one 😂
Is it me or luffy does look like crocodile if he stylish him like crocodile
So thats why Crocodile was mad at ivonkov at impel down! Ivonkov turned Crocodile into a man! Right?
that's the idea!

I imagine if he wanted to undo the devil fruit power he would have to consciously want that to happen not just an accident
Yea the woman changing thing is a little weird but I still don’t get how crocodile clashes with Mihawk after losing to alabasta luffy 😂
Imagin Sanji using his dress from Okama Island to fight reversed Crocodile using Haki just so he can beat women without feeling bad. xD
there has to be a line somewhere that sanji would cross to fight a woman lol@@LeonardoGPN
didn't the live action have crocodile as a woman ?
Yea they did show someone similar to crocodiles clothes and it was a female
