One weird example of Crocodile’s nature changing comes from Chapter 860 of the One-Piece manga. It seems to me that after his defeat against Luffy, and seeing his ambition at Marineford, Crocodile became an “actual pirate” rather than a mob boss. There is a redemption arc going on behind the scenes that only some have managed to observe. There are certain things in Crocodile’s timeline that have made him evolve from being a villain to a very likeable character. The reason why I’m writing this article is due to this very reason. While they are the same, we haven’t seen much of Crocodile’s story unfold as we did Doflamingo.

Crocodile and Doflamingo: Drawing ParallelsĪs I’ve already discussed, Doffy and Crocodile are common in their approaches towards the world. Simply put, there’s more to Crocodile than his outward evil persona. What possibly could be the reason behind this? I mean he could have just fought a bit of his own but he saved not only Ace before execution, but also managed to save Jinbe – a shichibukai he wanted to kill in Impel Down. You might argue that it was his own interest to get out of Marineford, but overall, he changed. Also, in the Marineford and Impel Down Arc, he was supporting Luffy during the fight.

In the movie One Piece: Stampede, we saw Crocodile helping the Straw-Hat Pirates. In both the canon and non-canon storylines, this has been quite prevalent. If we compare it to the recent storyline, Alabasta was as close to Dressrosa as Doflamingo is to Crocodile.īut here’s the thing: unlike Doflamingo, Croco-boy has had a character arc in which he redeemed himself as an anti-hero kind of good guy. When he was first introduced in Alabasta, Crocodile was a serious menace.Ī Shichibukai with evil ambitions, Crocodile controlled Alabasta and caused havoc in the entire arc he was in.
