#crocau ask

i've been thinking about maybe forgetting posting it vaguely linearly and throwing parts from different arcs whenever i feel like it instead, since it's that damn flashback that got me stuck. i don't know if ppl will vibe with that tho, since i've posted most of what the timeline is supposed to be like it's probably fine/shouldn't be too confusing.

also the timing of this ask is great, i just drew that, inspired by a mom and her kid i saw on the bus today:

Sengoku: what do you got there

Croc smoking while holding a sleeping luffy: a cigar

the matching clothes goes both way so sometimes croc suffers luffy's own horrible fashion sense!

i already have, in that sketch with his crew! maybe it's too sketchy to tell and his coat cover so much of his body (on purpose! i like to think he got into the habit of wearing long coat to hide any curves) but this croc hadnt transitionned yet!

headcanon wise im not sure, i don't think he'd look that different, i draw him pretty much the same face wise, just younger. it's more about his behavior that ive got thoughts, i like the idea that having his dreams destroyed really messed him up.

And i just know it was one of those moments that croc felt super confident and good about his gift decision and that luffy would love it and the he is going to get a good grade in parenting today.

And for the briefest moment when luffy first sees the container thats what it seems like is going to happen.

Until luffy realizes the bugs are dead and he starts to cry (or at depending on the age at least getting upset) and croc just like ah shit i fucked up

since he was isolated he’s only really know mihawk which whom he has a faux familial relationship with, it’s more one sided, luffy thinks of him as an uncle but mihawk as crocodile’s son who is his friend/coworker/drinking buddy if he gets lucky.

he doesn’t meet jinbei really but when he goes visit ace in impel down they kind of see each other since they’re in the same cell. they don’t speak directly, luffy forgets about him and jimbei decides he doesn’t want anything to do with crocodile’s business.

post timeskip he meets doflamingo (he had seen him once as a toddler, he doesn’t remember it but mingo does) he doesn’t like him at all, it’s mutual mingo’s end but he’s interested in the ways he could use him for his ends. put pressure won croc, use his prince status, that sort of things but luffy wants nothing to do with him.

law becomes a warlord like in canon and they do meet very briefly for that secret check up. the whole interaction is super tense because of croc and bonez standing there threateningly while luffy worries if another doctor is going to die because of him. law had heard rumors of a secret child because of mingo years ago, now that’s he’s official and has met him he’s intrigued and worried but doesn’t know whether or not he should do something about it since he has more pressing plans to deal with first.

And your art is delicious. like fruit gummies
