Fans in the “One Piece” community are constantly yearning for insights and explanations due to the extensive narrative filled with mysteries. The intricate relationships among characters and subtle references to past occurrences crafted by Oda have made this world captivating, leaving viewers eager for more information. Unfortunately, despite the prolonged wait, some answers that fans are anticipating remain unanswered.

One such answer that the One Piece community is still desperate to learn is the truth behind Luffy’s family. While it was revealed far earlier in the series that the hero of the Navy, Garp, and the Revolutionary Army leader, Dragon, are Luffy’s Grandfather and father respectively, no information on Luffy’s mother has ever been shown. Due to this, fans have created plenty of theories, ranging from plausible to comedically inconceivable. One of the latter theories seems to have caught some traction in One Piece social media; that Crocodile is Luffy’s mom.

Crocodile and Luffy Have A Strange Relationship

From Enemies to Less of Enemies

Crocodile and Luffy met for the first time during One Piece’s Alabasta Arc where they clashed for the fate of the desert kingdom. Acting as the major villain of the arc and representing Luffy’s first major threat on the Grand Line, Crocodile was eventually defeated by the Straw Hat pirates, freeing the kingdom. Though this seemed like it could be a potential end for the story between the two characters, fans were given the reunion between Crocodile and Luffy when the Luffy frees Crocodile from the prison, Impel Down.

During the Marinford Arc, I discovered that Crocodile, who had joined One Piece’s Cross Guild, shared a connection with Ivankov and the Revolutionary Army. Interestingly, it seems Ivankov harbors a secret about Crocodile that remains undisclosed to this day. Post-time skip, no fresh insights on my relationship with Crocodile have surfaced. However, given his ascension to a leadership role within the Cross Guild, there’s a chance more details about him might emerge in the Final Saga of the story.

Crocodile Could Be Luffy’s Mom in One Piece

The Relationship Thickens

Based on limited data, some fans speculate that Crocodile, a previous Warlord in One Piece, could be Luffy’s mother. This theory suggests that Crocodile, while in the Revolutionary Army, was actually female. It continues with the idea that Crocodile and Monkey D. Dragon fell in love during this time, and they went on to have Luffy together. Later, for Luffy’s safety, he was taken away from the perilous life of the Revolutionary Army and placed under the care of Garp and Dadan instead.

Following the departure of the future captain of the Straw Hat Pirates from the scene, Crocodile subsequently engages with Ivankov. Speculation among fans suggests that Crocodile was interested in transitioning, seeking Ivankov’s help to alter his gender – a service Ivankov often provides for One Piece’s gender-fluid characters. This encounter eventually leads to a meeting between Crocodile and Luffy at a later stage. It appears that Crocodile might have been aware that he was facing his own son in the fight, but at this point in the series, neither Luffy nor the world are privy to the fact that Dragon is his father.

This One Piece Theory is Best Kept as a Joke

Crocodile’s Motherhood Arc is Over

In the chaotic realm of One Piece, it’s hard to swallow this theory without some major loopholes. At Marineford, it was clear as day that Luffy was considered Dragon’s son by many. Yet, Crocodile didn’t seem to bat an eye, treating him more like a bothersome pest with momentary usefulness. Strangely enough, Crocodile began to help Luffy more during this time, even going so far as to rescue his life on multiple occasions during the war. It’s not hard to imagine that Crocodile had ulterior motives, hating both Whitebeard and the World Government so much that he saw these actions as a chance to strike back at them.

“I’m aware of one area where Crocodile might be vulnerable. However, if we work together and he keeps this on the down-low, I won’t bring it up.” This maintains the same meaning while using more conversational language that may sound less formal or technical.

It appears that, based on current indications, it seems less probable that Crocodile will be unveiled as Luffy’s mother in the concluding arc of One Piece. As there is no concrete proof, such a theory should primarily serve as an engaging exercise for fans, rather than being taken too seriously. However, this doesn’t stop enthusiasts from coming up with fascinating and consistent speculations, which keeps the community buzzing with excitement.
