At some point, he came to learn the existence of an ancient weapon known as the '''Pluton''' whose location was said to be located on the '''Poneglyph''' situated in the kingdom of '''Arabasta'''. This led to him seeking to find it and acquire its power for himself in order to establish himself as a potent military force in the world. Thus, sixteen years ago, at the age of 30, Crocodile came to relocate to Arabasta where he became renowned as a pirate-hunting hero. Despite his government contract, Crocodile organised a crime syndicate called [[Baroque Works]] which worked in secrecy. He gathered some of the best bounty hunters in the world and gave them code names where none knew of the identity of their leader. Around this time, he came to encounter notorious outlaw [[Nico Robin]] who was 24 years old at the time where he decided to work with her. In exchange for protecting her from the Marines, she would help him in his plot and use her skills to translate the Poneglyph when they found it. As such, Robin came to be his second in command at Baroque Works under the code name of '''Miss All-Sunday''' where she became the only person allowed to know that he was the head of the group. | At some point, he came to learn the existence of an ancient weapon known as the '''Pluton''' whose location was said to be located on the '''Poneglyph''' situated in the kingdom of '''Arabasta'''.

He would later call in to check in on Mr. 3 with the Den Den Mushi instead being answered by [[Sanji (One Piece)|Sanji]] who was there at the time. Sanji lied to the Warlord by pretending to be Mr. 3 and claimed to have killed the Straw Hats and Vivi. As a result, Crocodile sent the Unluckies to Little Garden to deliver an Eternal Pose to Mr. 3. When they arrived, they attacked Sanji. He easily subdued them, but the noise of their quarrel made Mr. 0 suspicious. Sanji pretended that he had to give the Straw Hats a final blow. Crocodile took this to mean that Mr. 3 had lied to him about defeating the enemies but ended the call with instructions to go to Arabasta. However, Crocodile asked Miss All Sunday to send Mr. 2 to Little Garden with orders to kill Mr. 3 for his failure. | + | Afterwards, he came to dispatch Mr. 3 where he was tasked with eliminating Vivi Nefertari.

Miss All Sunday said that a civil war was going on and they might use this opportunity to their advantage, asking him whether the two of them should go. Crocodile decides to take care of it alone, reminding Ms. All Sunday that he is the citizens' hero. |

When Crocodile showed up, Puppu insulted him for being a "government dog" and, along with his crew, thoroughly stabbed the Warlord. Thinking that he had won, Puppu's mockery turned to horror when Crocodile created a sandstorm that drained the water from Puppu and his crew's bodies. They most likely died from severe dehydration as Crocodile was carrying their corpses out of town afterward. Much later, Crocodile assembled a meeting with all of his Officer Agents at Rain Dinners, marking the first time their boss's true identity would be revealed to them. Crocodile informed his agents of the true goal of the Baroque Works and gave each them their final missions. Mr. 3 unexpectedly interrupted the meeting in order to request another chance to defeat the Straw Hats. Crocodile was surprised by this revelation since, after calling Little Garden, he had assumed that all of the Straw Hat Pirates and Vivi were dead. Mr. 2 confirmed that the Straw Hat Pirates and Vivi are alive since he had met them on the way to Arabasta. With the help of his power, they were able to take photographs of the Straw Hats' faces and started to take measure to prevent Vivi from meeting with the rebel leader, Koza. Disappointed with Mr. 3, Crocodile dried him up and fed him to his Bananawani. Crocodile ordered the rest of the Officer Agents to take out the Straw Hats posthaste. Luffy and his group pressed forward to confront the Warlord of the Sea. Upon arriving at Rainbase, Luffy and Usopp were sent to fetch some water after their long journey in the desert. Upon getting water from a bar, the two encountered Smoker and Tashigi. After a big commotion and a frenzied chase, Luffy and some of his crew managed to reach Crocodile's casino, Rain Dinners. Crocodile ordered Robin to take them to the VIP room. After falling for an obvious trap, Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Usopp, and Captain Smoker found them trapped in a Seastone cage. Crocodile arrived to greet them shortly after. | ||

Biography
Crocodile (Japanese: クロコダイル, Hepburn: Kurokodairu)
Around 22 years ago, he came to witness the execution of Gol D. Roger at Loguetown. At some point, he also came to dream of becoming the Pirate King.
At some point, he came to learn the existence of an ancient weapon known as the Pluton whose location was said to be located on the Poneglyph situated in the kingdom of Arabasta. This led to him seeking to find it and acquire its power for himself in order to establish himself as a potent military force in the world. Thus, sixteen years ago, at the age of 30, Crocodile came to relocate to Arabasta where he became renowned as a pirate-hunting hero. Despite his government contract, Crocodile organised a crime syndicate called Baroque Works which worked in secrecy. He gathered some of the best bounty hunters in the world and gave them code names where none knew of the identity of their leader. Around this time, he came to encounter notorious outlaw Nico Robin who was 24 years old at the time where he decided to work with her. In exchange for protecting her from the Marines, she would help him in his plot and use her skills to translate the Poneglyph when they found it. As such, Robin came to be his second in command at Baroque Works under the code name of Miss All-Sunday where she became the only person allowed to know that he was the head of the group.
Afterwards, he came to dispatch Mr. 3 where he was tasked with eliminating Vivi Nefertari. He would later call in to check in on Mr. 3 with the Den Den Mushi instead being answered by Sanji who was there at the time. Sanji lied to the Warlord by pretending to be Mr. 3 and claimed to have killed the Straw Hats and Vivi. As a result, Crocodile sent the Unluckies to Little Garden to deliver an Eternal Pose to Mr. 3. When they arrived, they attacked Sanji. He easily subdued them, but the noise of their quarrel made Mr. 0 suspicious. Sanji pretended that he had to give the Straw Hats a final blow. Crocodile took this to mean that Mr. 3 had lied to him about defeating the enemies but ended the call with instructions to go to Arabasta. However, Crocodile asked Miss All Sunday to send Mr. 2 to Little Garden with orders to kill Mr. 3 for his failure. Later, when informed by his partner of a pirate invasion of Arabasta, Crocodile asked her whether they knew he was there. Miss All Sunday said that a civil war was going on and they might use this opportunity to their advantage, asking him whether the two of them should go.

Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Crocodile was a tall man with a wide chest, broad shoulders, muscular arms and legs, and a thick neck. As the shadowy leader of Baroque Works, he came to be known by the code name of Mister 0. (ミスター0, Misutā 0)
Such was his ruthless nature that he had no issue killing a person where he demonstrated a pitiless nature. He did not hesitate to sentence a person to death. In addition, he was very quick to anger if someone insulted or angered him where he had said that he had never failed to kill anyone who had ever insulted him.
Crocodile liked to enjoy toying with weaker opponents where he often grinned and laughed smugly during battle.
It was shown that he almost completely lacked any sort of code of honor.
He demonstrated no care for his subordinates nor any emotional concern for their well-being. In fact, he was fully willing to sacrifice them to achieve his ambitions.
A sophisticated mastermind, he was shown to be patient where he engaged in long term plots to fulfil his goals. Such was evident in his plot to topple the kingdom of Arabasta where he cause an endless drought in the kingdom, framed its ruler for the incident, established Baroque Works to execute his plans and make himself to be a hero of the people.
In Arabasta, he was viewed as a savior figure who protected the country from pirate attacks, as part of his duty as a Warlord of the Sea. Though a national hero, Crocodile did not care for the local population nor their adoration for him as he instead looked down on them as fools and only acting against threats in order to keep up appearances.
Crocodile valued military power above popularity, renown, and treasure, believing that only ignorant fools declare their grandiose dreams.

As a hero, he strove to attain a high level of respect and prestige among the citizens of Arabasta as their 'savior' by brutally dispatching any would-be invaders or pirates He also came to gai enormous amount of physical stamina, durability, pain tolerance, resilience and endurance, coupled with remarkable speed and reflexes.
Later in his life, he came to eat from the Suna Suna no Mi (スナスナの実, Sand-Sand Fruit) that was a Logia-type (自然ロギア系, Rogia-kei) Devil Fruit (悪魔の実, Akuma no Mi).

This allowed him to utterly destroy his surroundings and even kill any living being via dehydration thus mummifying the body in the process.
Though seemingly invulnerable, a particular weakness of his power was that people covered in a form of moisture were able to strike him so long as it coated their body. This substance could be water or even blood where it prevented Crocodile from going immaterial as sand.
