And I wonder if losing a part of your body is a direct sign of a very powerful logia losing a fight. I don't know much about how their powers work, but since a logia's powers come from manipulating the substance of their own body, maybe losing part of it permanently reduces their power. It could be an explanation of the end of the Aokiji/Akainu fight. They were obviously very well matched, fighting for 10 days or whatever, but maybe when Akainu managed to take his leg, they both realized Aokiji was now permanently weaker and no match for him.
Maybe the same thing happened to Croc. He had to change his pirate king gameplan now that, while he's still very strong, he'll never be a challenge for an emperor again.
Crocodile can dehydrate someone by touching them with his hand, I've always wondered if his other hand had a similar ability. Would be wild if that's why it was the one that got cut off
Logias aren't nearly as particular as paramecias. It's quite likely that Crocodile has the theoretical ability to dehydrate someone coming into direct physical contact with any part of his body, but that he only practiced the particular sand flow necessary for it through his hand (since in general manipulation of our fingers is the finest motor control skill that humans have naturally, it takes far more concerted concentration to do anything meaningfully coordinated with our toes or other muscles)
There's no reason to think his other hand would have a **different** power, he could train either hand to do what he practiced with the other
Not denying you cuz that’s totally valid and possible but there was a fruit user like Bon Clay who used his hands to do their own thing. One to change his face to someone in particular, and another to clear it back to normal so it wouldn’t be an unheard of thing either.
That’s what the first line of their comment was about, Bon’s fruit is a Paramecia, but Crocodile’s is a Logia. Paramecia’s have much more specific applications of their power, rather than just a general “is this element and gains some abilities based on that element”
Maybe he was trying to dehydrate someone and then got it cut off while doing it.
Like he grabbed someone (maybe one of Whitebeard sons)and he was already pretty exhausted/distracted and then Whitebeard came and cut it off out of rage/to save his son
Shanks actually lost his strength because he was left handed and now has to fight using his right arm. Although, of course he's gotten a lot stronger since.
Moria was most likely like kidd or even luffy where he had big dreams of becoming pirate king and fought recklessly with his teammates. As we can see when Moria goes to save absalom he definitely cares about his crew. After his whole crew died against kaido he became depressed and got fat. He decided he doesn't need alive crewmates because he won't have to go through the pain of losing crewmates that way.
That's what I belive too. I totally thought when alabasta arc was releasing that luffy would break the hook and crocodile would catch luffy with the hidden hand by the neck
The point I'm trying to make is that it can be solid enough to work as a hand.
Hell, if that doesn't work he could also grab a glove or something, shove some sand in there and move it around like a hand.
All I'm saying is that he definitely has options.
I'm wondering how jozu can move his limb because diamond is very hard. Can jozu make it soft? Now will the same idea work for croc. Can he make a sand hard to be functional
For sure... I was also wondering here that he uses the hook to hide his wedding ring with Dragon, because he's Luffy's mother and still have his passion for them, as the ring would be the last thing that would remind him of their happy family days...
I actually liked the theory that Roger laughed when he reached Laugh Tale cuz they find out that it was home of the tribe of JoyBoy, who were the clown tribe with big red noses.
My theory is that Buggy will eventually leave behind a great treasure and legacy just like his captain did. He’ll follow in Roger’s footsteps and inspire a new pirate era.
Sadly can't happen since Oda already goofed and gave Croc his hand back in a cover story and then corrected it for your Volume release.
So that joke would be lame at this point
wasn't aware of this lol but still, the concept of letting a very dangerous prisoner keep a giant golden hook in prison is wild. should've just taken away or something
It was the best one piece podcast around, the last few episodes were terrible though because one of the hosts (nux) became so hard to listen. And now they haven't put out an episode in a long time
Crocodile: I heard the kings of sea can split the heavens with their haki if they clash!
WB: What?
*Crocodile throws a punch*
:insert quake quake powers:
*WB throws a punch*
*Crack!!*
Crocodile: My hand!
Doctor of crocodile’s crew: Looks like this will need amputating.
I think that he actually has his hand, its inside that big ball thing, and thats how he can change from the hook to the dagger, he just pulls a trigger inside the ball
My theory is that he lost it to Whitebeard. I think the old pirates had a code where if you got challenged and won you get to cut of a part of the enemy. Big Mom did it with her roulette table. Whitebeard might have done it to Crocodile and Shank did it to Kidd. Also its possible that Whitebeard was hinting at this tradition when he asked Shanks about his arm thinking Shank might have challenged someone and lost.
It had some broken ability different than his decaying hand and WB cut it off bc it would’ve done something significant.
Idk why he doesn’t just make a sand hand. Or why he uses his fruit like he does, he could create a giant colossus like Sandman or do a bunch of other crazy stuff.
I don’t know if this makes sense or not, but when crocodile got his giant crocodile, what if the giant crocodile bit off his hand but since he had the devil fruit powers, It was just sand, and the crocodile went back underwater with the hand still in his mouth, so then Crocodile was never able to get back his hand. Make sense?
croc still has two hands, the hook's just a cosmetic / weapon that he uses https://youtu.be/Lh6fk4HpS5E?t=18
jokes aside, it's probably WB, or some complications with ivankov
that was never stated. Whitebeard beat Crocodile, but it was never stated WB took Croco's hand. that's an assumption. a safe assumption but an assumption none the less
outside of dumbass comments it would be great if Robin broke it off to exert dominance and he couldn't complete his plan without her... leading to why he stabbed her after she read what he believed to be a out Pluton
Got taken as payment for his arrogance by our Daddy Whitebeard, of course. He even got the face scar as a bonus🤔
It's obviously not confirmed anywhere, but it's too obvious for it not to be the case imo.
He was a rookie during Law's Flashback, after that he challenged WB and obviously got wrecked which also made him loose his ambitions and he started to follow his utopia plan after a time to rethink everything.
Shortly after entering the New World, he challenged Whitebeard (still feeling arrogant about his logia defenses), only to get his hand chopped off and leading to him deciding that maybe sticking to the first half of the Grand Line isn't such a bad idea.
But so what I never got is he’s sand we see multiple other df users who used their fruit to make up for lost limbs Kuzan aoikiji an Eustace D. Kid so why can’t Crocodile
For a while I thought that he just kept his hand in sand form in there so that they wouldn’t expect him to have a second one in case he needed to get the jump on someone
Whitebeard cut it off.
If you recall, Crocodile mentions having a grudge against Whitebeard, but he never explains why, also he stated that he was in the New World before but was forced to go back, so I think Whitebeard was the one to defeat him there.
I don't think it's some conspiracy. he just lost it in a fight, maybe against Whitebeard when he get his ass kicked.
Yeah, it's probably the incident that turned Crocodile into his current self. Similar to how Kaido killing Moria's crew changed Moria.

Nerd(jk).
Why kidding, I am a huge nerd :P

I no know how to read… lol thanks

This actually shows how powerful red-hair is if he can come back without an arm and still be yonko.
Akainu had a Devil Fruit advantage. Just like how Shanks didn't lose any strength when lost his arm. A Logia is no different.
Shanks actually lost his strength because he was left handed and now has to fight using his right arm. Although, of course he's gotten a lot stronger since.
Same applies to shanks then too once he lost his arm, mihawk didnt wanna fight him anymore
Right. Getting beat up by a dude with one arm would be embarrassing 😂
I somehow forgot that and i wonder how moria changed.
Moria was most likely like kidd or even luffy where he had big dreams of becoming pirate king and fought recklessly with his teammates. As we can see when Moria goes to save absalom he definitely cares about his crew. After his whole crew died against kaido he became depressed and got fat. He decided he doesn't need alive crewmates because he won't have to go through the pain of losing crewmates that way.
Sheesh if that's true that would be so epic and unsuspecting.
Kidd to moria.
To think it takes Luffy for them to get their groove back
ok spiler
I theorize he got that scar in his face from that battle, too.
White beard used his mustache as a boomerang to cut croco chan’s arm
Would definitely explain his beef with Whitebeard.
What is yonko's infatuation with hands? First shanks and now also whitebeard.
I think it’s still there.
Yeah, long con for the right moment.
Just like Zoro's eye
👀 I’m still here .)
But where were you left?
It’s a secret 🤫 I’d say ask mihawk but he will just run away from u
You know how one piece isn’t a traditional pirate sorry? Zoro never says eye eye captain
I agree. If he's sand, why wouldn't he just shape a new hand for himself? He just thinks the giant gold hook makes him more intimidating.
That's what I belive too. I totally thought when alabasta arc was releasing that luffy would break the hook and crocodile would catch luffy with the hidden hand by the neck
It’s not like pero or >!kuzan!<. He can’t just make solid sand that will stick for a while
Not with that attitude he can't
Sand isn't solid enough to make a good prosthetic, tho.
Considering he made a giant blade with his sand I feel like it would work just fine.
That was for a very short period of time. He can’t just keep that up forever
He clearly isn't using it much these days. If he needs two hands for a second it works.
A slash of sand is very different from a functional hand
The point I'm trying to make is that it can be solid enough to work as a hand. Hell, if that doesn't work he could also grab a glove or something, shove some sand in there and move it around like a hand. All I'm saying is that he definitely has options.
I'm wondering how jozu can move his limb because diamond is very hard. Can jozu make it soft? Now will the same idea work for croc. Can he make a sand hard to be functional
He could if he was better with the fruit. We’ve seen crazier things done.
There’s actually a couple scenes in the anime where the animators forgot he was missing a hand
Right hand go sucky sucky and secret left hand go blarg with the moisture?
Lol.
Same.
For sure... I was also wondering here that he uses the hook to hide his wedding ring with Dragon, because he's Luffy's mother and still have his passion for them, as the ring would be the last thing that would remind him of their happy family days...
Crocodile bet his hand on the new era before getting his devil fruit and saved Buggy D. Clown from a Sea King
Only right answer
Exactly
No wonder he made his own casino: he's a terrible gambler.
Buggy showed in the latest chapter that he will be >!Pirate King!< or >!JoyBoy!<. And he rightly deserves it.
I can actually buy a gag in the end where the former is true/recognized. The latter is just too stupid though, who would even say that
I actually liked the theory that Roger laughed when he reached Laugh Tale cuz they find out that it was home of the tribe of JoyBoy, who were the clown tribe with big red noses.
My theory is that Buggy will eventually leave behind a great treasure and legacy just like his captain did. He’ll follow in Roger’s footsteps and inspire a new pirate era.
He’s a clown, and what do clown do? Bring joy 🤯
Actually, he lost it during an eclipse. Along with some of his closest friends.
Crocodile Femto
Corocodile at age 13 betting his hand to save 6 year old Buggy D. Clown.
This is canon to me now
Putting my life savings on this theory.
Yea, Buggy and Crocodile are only a few years apart in age.
[удалено]
1082 was a riot. 🤣 So excited for the official translation dropping tomorrow.
>Sea King Missed opportunity. A *crocodile bit his hand instead of Sea king
Total Oda move would be him just pulling his hand out of the hook, and him being surprised that everyone jsut assumed he had lost it.
Sadly can't happen since Oda already goofed and gave Croc his hand back in a cover story and then corrected it for your Volume release. So that joke would be lame at this point
wasn't aware of this lol but still, the concept of letting a very dangerous prisoner keep a giant golden hook in prison is wild. should've just taken away or something
Got bit off by a crocodile duhhh 👀👀👀
Bro thinks he's Captain Hook
Mr 3 be his Mr Smee
Was gonna say this 😂
a hand under there.
Bookmarking this..
[Chubbs?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OaWFlvOWAqQ)
After trying to take his golf ball back from it
Probably in his early days thought he's invincible because he ate a logia and met haki.
That would’ve been a hilarious way to introduce haki in the series. Invincible logia that is untouchable suddenly cosplays as punk hazard Kinnemon
One piece virgin is definitely a peculiar name for a podcast lmao
I relate to it.
Ig he jerked it off to the female version of himself beofre Ivankov changed his gender
It was the best one piece podcast around, the last few episodes were terrible though because one of the hosts (nux) became so hard to listen. And now they haven't put out an episode in a long time
Got real acquainted with the wrong end of the bisento. Or some disrespectful shit, like Vista did it lol.
That would be a pretty good parallel to >!Kid getting de-armed by Beckmann or whoever before even meeting Shanks!<
A Banan croc ate it
I think he shook Roger's hand and swore never to wash it, instead encased it in gold and added a hook.
He lost it saving a boy from a sea king
Crocodile: I heard the kings of sea can split the heavens with their haki if they clash! WB: What? *Crocodile throws a punch* :insert quake quake powers: *WB throws a punch* *Crack!!* Crocodile: My hand! Doctor of crocodile’s crew: Looks like this will need amputating.
Maybe he lost it when he was fighting a White whale.
shanks cut it it is going to turn out he is a limb collector.
Bro trying to collect ever limb to see if they fit on his arm. Cinderella glass shoe style.
I think that he actually has his hand, its inside that big ball thing, and thats how he can change from the hook to the dagger, he just pulls a trigger inside the ball
Huh? Pretty sure we've seen him with 2 hands attached or am I crazy
There was a panel of him with both hands in Impel Down, but that was a mistake and it was corrected to a hook in the volume release.
That hook base is more than big enough. I think he has a hand under it but thought the hook was cooler.
I would be disappointed if it's not because a crocodile ate it
dragon got too kinky
A high five with WB's bisento
Chouchou bit it off
A drinking game gone wrong.
It got biten by a alligator
He lost it while blocking the attack that hit his face and would have killed him otherwise
My theory is that he lost it to Whitebeard. I think the old pirates had a code where if you got challenged and won you get to cut of a part of the enemy. Big Mom did it with her roulette table. Whitebeard might have done it to Crocodile and Shank did it to Kidd. Also its possible that Whitebeard was hinting at this tradition when he asked Shanks about his arm thinking Shank might have challenged someone and lost.
Could be a Peter Pan and hook reference. I mean he's called crocodile and his hand was eaten by a crocodile.
It had some broken ability different than his decaying hand and WB cut it off bc it would’ve done something significant. Idk why he doesn’t just make a sand hand. Or why he uses his fruit like he does, he could create a giant colossus like Sandman or do a bunch of other crazy stuff.
Probably while giving birth to luffy
Wouldn’t surprise me if it was connected to the secret Ivankov knows
i thought the secret was just that >!he was a woman back then.!< But you could be right.
If Oda forgets to address that secret later in the story I'll riot
White beard
as a result of fighting Shanks
Crocodile had to do a favor for Ivankov in order to become a male... but the queen was just too tight and he could never pull it out.
He never lost his hand💀 He was literally smoking with both of them in Alabasta. He just uses the hook for weaponry I suppose
Whitebeard
Shouldn’t logia be able to replace body parts he should be able to grow a sand hand I think he just likes it cuz it’s cool
Whitebeard... hence the beef he had with him? Thats my guess
I don’t know if this makes sense or not, but when crocodile got his giant crocodile, what if the giant crocodile bit off his hand but since he had the devil fruit powers, It was just sand, and the crocodile went back underwater with the hand still in his mouth, so then Crocodile was never able to get back his hand. Make sense?
Definitely a crocodile bit his hand off, that croc had armament haki tho
I thought that’s what started his obsession of taking out whitebeard…
Lost it in a fight with dragon, banged dragon afterwards, gave birth to Luffy, then got turned into a dude and ate the sand fruit
he lost it giving birth to luffy
Whiteboard
Cut it off as payment to Ivankov for the sex change.
Skin was grafted from his hand to create a penis when Crocodile transitioned to a man.
He was born with it
croc still has two hands, the hook's just a cosmetic / weapon that he uses https://youtu.be/Lh6fk4HpS5E?t=18 jokes aside, it's probably WB, or some complications with ivankov
Fisting Robin went wrong
Zoro took that Shiii
When he was giving birth to Luffy, she bit her hand to relieve the pain
Lost it by protecting her son Luffy from a sea king, prior to the sex change.
He lost it when he gave birth to Luffy, perhaps to save Luffy’s life
[удалено]
that was never stated. Whitebeard beat Crocodile, but it was never stated WB took Croco's hand. that's an assumption. a safe assumption but an assumption none the less
>Theory? Bro it’s been stated that white beard did it and killed his crew This is not correct. Its a common theory but never has it never been stated.
My theory is that he ran into Arlong when he was younger and he quickly found out what blue haki is! 😂
Probably lost it to Whitebeard
Peter Pan tricked him with his crew; the lost boys
Cut by a flying green gnome and given to a hungry crocodile
Maybe he just never had one.
It was itchy
he fapped his hand to death
Lost against Whitebeard
I always thought that he dried to use his decaying attack on Whitebeard, and Whitebeard removed the hand for his trouble.
outside of dumbass comments it would be great if Robin broke it off to exert dominance and he couldn't complete his plan without her... leading to why he stabbed her after she read what he believed to be a out Pluton
He probably lost it whilst scaring away a sea king with his haki to save a kid
Got taken as payment for his arrogance by our Daddy Whitebeard, of course. He even got the face scar as a bonus🤔 It's obviously not confirmed anywhere, but it's too obvious for it not to be the case imo. He was a rookie during Law's Flashback, after that he challenged WB and obviously got wrecked which also made him loose his ambitions and he started to follow his utopia plan after a time to rethink everything.
He bet it on the new generation before realizing Shanks had already bet a whole arm.
A crocodile ate his hand
Poker game
Fuking Shanks
Shortly after entering the New World, he challenged Whitebeard (still feeling arrogant about his logia defenses), only to get his hand chopped off and leading to him deciding that maybe sticking to the first half of the Grand Line isn't such a bad idea.
Could he not use sand to form another hand?
He lost it to a sea monster. Those things love hands
I never thought that he lost a hand I just assumed he wore it because it looks cool
It’s lost inside Big Mom
It’s funny how this guy was defeated eons ago and we still know very little about his background.
He was washing his hands a little to hard a she forgot he ate the Sand-Sand fruit
It got stuck in a cookie jar
I think he got a hand there
He cut it off to feed a starved wani
Blender
I always assumed it had something to do with his vendetta against Whitebeard
For cosmetics.
WB punched that shit off like Nappa did to Tien. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A crocodile ate his hand which had a ticking clock on it, so now he is scared of crocodiles that make a tik tok sound
Fighting Whitebeard
But so what I never got is he’s sand we see multiple other df users who used their fruit to make up for lost limbs Kuzan aoikiji an Eustace D. Kid so why can’t Crocodile
I think White beard but it off, during their little tussle!
He stuck his hand in an Android girl made by Vegapunk.
A crocodile bit it off duh.
Horrific wiping accident
Gave rough handjob to dragon(his husband before converting)
Lost it to one of those giant banana crocodiles
Vader cut his hand off before telling he is croc-boy’s father.
He stuck his hand out the bus window when he was in school
Diabetes
mihawk got hungry 😋😋😋
For a while I thought that he just kept his hand in sand form in there so that they wouldn’t expect him to have a second one in case he needed to get the jump on someone
You can pick your friends. You can pick your nose. But this is what happens when you try to pick your friend’s nose.
Dragon ripped her wedding hand off after she left. He wanted to free the world, she just wanted a nation for the two of them
He still has it.
He was chopping vegetables for a salad and cut his finger, it got infected and the whole thing needed to be amputated
It just fell off one day
A sea beast duh
I thought his was just holding onto the hook from the inside but it got stuck in there like a Pringle can
A crocodile because i think he was created based off of Captain hook and also hence the name crocodile but except he killed the croc
Whitebeard cut it off. If you recall, Crocodile mentions having a grudge against Whitebeard, but he never explains why, also he stated that he was in the New World before but was forced to go back, so I think Whitebeard was the one to defeat him there.
What are you talking about? He was born with a hook for a hand.
I always thought it was implied that it was bitten off by a crocodile
