Who Is Mr. 0 aka Crocodile in One Piece?
As teased in the first season’s ending, and now in the live-action One Piece Season 2‘s previews, the Baroque Works organisation will be the main focus in the new season. And the president of the Baroque Works organisation is Sir Crocodile, the Desert King. He goes by the alias Mr.0 within the organisation, and the public of Arabasta refers to him as Sir Crocodile.
The president’s identity is a tightly-knit secret, and only the higher-ranking agents of Baroque Works knew about him. In case you aren’t aware, Nico Robin worked as the vice president of Baroque Works, basically serving as the right-hand woman of Sir Crocodile to accomplish his goal of “Operation Utopia.”
What Is Crocodile’s Goal in One Piece?
Initially, Crocodile introduced himself as the hero of the Arabasta people, protecting them against pirates’ invasion. However, it was soon revealed to be a lie, more of an act in his grand plan to dethrone the current ruler of the Arabasta Kingdom, the Nefertari family. He called his goal Operation Utopia, in which he planned to take over the Arabasta Kingdom.
Then, discover the Pluton, an Ancient Weapon hidden within the Arabasta Kingdom, to become a powerful utopian nation that can rival the World Government. Thus, Crocodile began his plan by deceiving the citizens and the king of the Arabasta kingdom, and all his Baroque Works agents were deployed to stir up a civil war, necessary for overthrowing the Nefertari family.
Who Is Cast as Crocodile in One Piece live-action?
The cast of live-action One Piece Season 2 was full of surprises, and it was announced that Joe Manganiello is playing Sir Crocodile in the One Piece live-action series. Since the cast announcement, Netflix has revealed only a silhouette of Joe as Crocodile in a One Piece Season 2 poster. Though Crocodile will play a major role in One Piece Season 3, the president will make an appearance in the upcoming.
You may instantly recognise Joe from his role as Flash Thompson, Peter Parker’s bully in the OG Spider-Man trilogy by Sam Raimi. Joe Manganiello then went on to work on popular movies and TV shows such as American Heiress, True Blood, and How I Met Your Mother. If Joe delivers a masterclass performance as the Sandman in One Piece live-action, then undoubtedly Crocodile could become the best role of his career.
What Are the Powers of Crocodile’s Devil Fruit in One Piece?
Sir Crocodile ate the Suna Suna no Mi, aka Sand-Sand, Devil Fruit in One Piece. Remember Sandman from the Marvel comics? Crocodile’s logia-type Devil Fruit power is very similar to the Sandman, as the fruit bestowed him the ability to turn into sand. So, Crocodile can freely manipulate sand, and he has honed the powers of his Sand-Sand Devil Fruit for a very long time now.
Crocodile’s Sand-Sand Devil Fruit is one of the most powerful Logia devil fruits in existence, as the user has the ability to form sandstorms, quicksand, and weapons made of sand, and much more, rather than just turning into sand. And one of the deadliest, if not the deadliest ability of the Suna Suna no Mi is moisture absorption.
With one touch, Crocodile can suck moisture out of anything to weaken it from within its own body. By essentially dehydrating his opponents, Crocodile can shrivel any of their body parts as he wishes. That’s a terrifying ability, the power of sand enables him to do.
How Old Is Crocodile in One Piece?
Crunchyroll Italia)
One look at the character, and one can tell Sir Crocodile is an old man in the One Piece series. Crocodile was 44 at the time of his debut in the Arabasta saga, and he is currently 46 years old following the two-year time skip that takes place later in the story. Thus, Crocodile is one of the oldest villains Monkey D. Luffy faces in his path to becoming the Pirate King.
While many villains debut and fade away in the long run of the One Piece series, Sir Crocodile remains one of the iconic long-standing antagonists. So, who knows, we will get to see more of Crocodile until the very end of One Piece.
How Tall is Crocodile in One Piece?
The majority of the One Piece villains are tall by nature, and Crocodile is one among them. Despite being a human, Crocodile stands tall as one of the towering One Piece characters with a height of 8’4″ (or 253 cm). So, all the other Baroque Work members or the Straw Hats who face him look tiny next to him in battles.
Only a little is known about Crocodile’s past besides the fact that he initially wanted to become the Pirate King, but a defeat at the hands of Whitebeard put him on a different path. There is a big secret about Crocodile which has been teased by the author for years now and hasn’t yet been revealed.
