AU/OC History: None!
Game Import: Nope!
Personality: Crocodile is the epitome of cruelty and arrogance. After crossing the seas and seeing some of the worst things in the world, Crocodile became a crime boss who sought after a weapon of mass destruction which would earn him control of all the seas. It's clear that he has little regard for others, even his subordinates. The fact that he keeps his own identity completely secret with all of his subordinates along Baroque Works indicates that he's careful enough in his dealings to tie up loose ends wherever he can. However, Crocodile's ego is overwhelming enough that he won't confirm killing his foes under the premise that they're far below him. He assumes Luffy is dead twice--which costs him in the end.
He's arrogant and deliberate in how he speaks--in a slow drawl that implies he's completely sure of himself. Crocodile's marked cruelty comes easily in this regard as he doesn't ever really stumble when he's talking to someone unless it's Emporio Ivankov--who has information on Crocodile's past. It's evident as well that Crocodile understands his own 'strength' and acts accordingly to deal with plans in his own capacity. His dream to be the Pirate King had likely been subverted because of his awareness of his own limitations, since he decided to take over Alabasta first instead of the entire sea at once.
This sense of weakness, of course, comes from his loss to Whitebeard, the Strongest Man in the World. Crocodile sets it as a goal to kill Whitebeard, likely to make sure that he's strong enough to take on the rest of the world without overstepping his bounds. Though, despite knowing his weaknesses, Crocodile isn't encumbered by them. Crocodile fights Haki-users who can exploit his vulnerability easily without feeling uneasy. He even fights Luffy to the best of his ability, knowing better than to be crippled by worries that he can't counter his own vulnerability.
On the other hand, Crocodile does have a few 'good' capacities in the midst of his horrible self. He repeatedly spits on the Marines by saving Ace, Jinbe and Luffy on a few occasions, feeling as if he didn't want them to have the satisfaction of victory over them. While Crocodile is easily a villain, he doesn't like how the Marines conduct themselves in a way that puts them on a pedastal. Crocodile is the type of man who would believe that villains have to act like villains rather than supplanting themselves on a false seat of justice. In this regard, Crocodile believes this because he refers to Luffy as a rookie--one who isn't ready for the real world. He obviously believes he's a 'true' pirate, one who can be cruel in order to progress in the world. Because of this, Crocodile doesn't seem to have any semblance of a conscious, since it was likely beaten out of him in his own rookie years.
Powers: Crocodile has the ability to turn his whole body into sand, fly at some levels, suck the moisture out of living beings and inanimate objects and completely manipulate sand in a vicinity of his regular body. He's capable of making massive sand storms and throwing pockets of sand at such a velocity that it can tear through wood, iron and steel with ease as if they were cut and smashed by blades. Crocodile's ability to remove the moisture from virtually anything means he can turn wood to dust and stone to sand. Since Crocodile is also virtually intangible unless someone coats themselves in water to strike him directly--since this cancels out his intangibility. As with all Devil Fruit Users as well--Crocodile is made tangible upon contact with 'Seastone', a quasi-metal that exists in the One Piece universe. This stone takes away his powers and weakens him severely when it's in contact with his skin.
Other Details: Crocodile has a prosthetic left arm--which he maintains as a giant golden hook full of poison. Beneath the hook, especially if it's broken off, there is a blade that is also coated with poison which can pop out as well. Aside from Crocodile's powers--he's extremely adept in dealing with criminal enterprises to the extent that he can manipulate the dealings of an entire country, presumably enhanced by the use of his devil fruit powers and given the fact that in normal situations, he's cruel to an exceptional point.
SAMPLES "Lend you my help?" Crocodile raised himself up from the 'table' he had been laid out on when he arrived. Fixing his coat in that gap of silence, he ignored the message once it was halfway through. He didn't need to hear the rest. It was likely just a little dab of blackmail. If they wanted 'help', they could ask the Marines. Maybe they could arrange for a few Vice Admirals or even the big guys to show up, but to bring an ex-Warlord into the mix was just a mistake. Especially himself, "It must be amateur-hour, here. Who would be stupid enough to ask 'me'?"
Unlike the other newcomers, the sight of the people with wings, gnomes and other 'aberrations' didn't phase him in the slightest. It was background noise to a man who had managed to see even crazier things in his lifetime. 'The New World' was a dash of all these oddities, pock-marked with cruelty, crushed dreams and the worst parts of humanity.
He found himself standing out in the street--his eyes guided past the mass of tightly closed buildings before his eyes found the ceiling of the city--lit up with magical lamps and tunnels bringing light down from the top as well. Crocodile sneered, looking back to the street and striding along it. He'd take a shot at finding that portal eventually, but he had plenty of time to return to the New World. It wasn't ever about securing his position as the King--even if he didn't want to admit that it was his goal.
It was about crushing everyone in his way. With Whitebeard dead, Crocodile would have to kill the next one below. Marco? Jozu? If those two survived, it might have been between the two of them. Then came the Marines and everyone below. For the meanwhile, Crocodile knew a dead situation when he was in one. He was brought there one way or another and wanted to find out how. So, he lingered. He'd find out their method and copy it for himself if he could. If he couldn't do that--he'd find a way to get someone else to do it who definitely could. The thought livened himself up and while chewing on his long since depleted cigar, Crocodile chuckled in a long and arrogant drawl.
There would be things to do and people to cripple, but it felt like he would have a lot of time to do it. If he could do in one country, how difficult would one measley city be?
