Quick point to re: is Croc openly trans or not
So Ivankov's ability to change someone's biological sex is kind of a "myth" in the OP world, right? The way Bon-chan talked about Ivankov was with an aura of legend, how they had heard all these incredible things about Ivankov but couldn't even be entirely sure the person truly even existed until they got to meet face-to-face, because the stories told about Ivankov were just so incredible
Of course, between Iva-chan's imprisonment 6-5 years ago and the actual difficulty people would have genuinely finding them to begin with (being a Rev and travelling around the world sometimes and othertimes just hanging around in the Calm Belt on Momoiro Island), the word about their deeds would turn into Stuff of Legend as few would be able to actually verify it, see it for themselves and tell others all about it, but those stories had to start somewhere, right?
And we do have an interesting note here, as this prince mentioned his mother visiting Kamabakka Queendom 15 years ago (pre-timeskip)
Now one could think that hey, maybe this is where The Legends about Ivankov's miraculous abilities began, but think really about it for a moment; Why would some ruler of a kingdom go out of their way to travel to Kamabakka Queendom, ruled by a member for the Revolutionary Army (=potentially dangerous for a monarch), if they hadn't heard about Ivankov's ability from somewhere else first?
And that's where the timeline mention gets interesting. Because guess who was born just two years before this prince's mother made her brave journey to see Iva-chan?
I'm just saying, if Crocodile went missing for like 4-9 months and then came back fully transitioned out of nowhere, and Morgans made a huge god damn deal about it on the news, letting the whole world know about the Warlord magically having become a man, yeah, that would start some rumors about who what where and how this even happened. And needless to say, this could easily send a lot of people out to the seas to try to find the Miracle Worker who transed Crocodile's gender, including some monarchs who have the resources to both verify the legends but also actually make the journey to find Ivankov (Also, if the inciting incident that started the legends about Ivankov happened due to Crocodile like 17-19 years ago, that would add to that aura of myth Ivankov has around them, as it would've been a long ass time ago when the first rumors about Emporio Ivankov would've gotten out there)
#Moon posting#OP Meta#Crocodad#Sir Crocodile#Trans Crocodile#Crocodile becoming the Gold Roger of sending people out to the seas but instead of the search for One Piece it's the search for Ivankov#''My transition? If you want it you can have it. Find it! I left it all in that one place''#And so people head for the Grand Line in pursuit of their dreams! The world has entered THE GREAT TRANSGENDERISM ERA#My point is that actually if Crocodile WAS openly trans it'd actually work really well into the existing lore#The only reason we want him to be stealth is because of the assumption that Ivankov's power over Crocodile would be being able out him#But that assumption does not have to be correct; Iva-chan doesn't have to be able to out Crocodile to have power over him#The Secret Beef could be over something completely different (namely a secret baby as I keep on harping on and on about)#Crocodile doesn't have to be stealth. If he isn't it could actually work in our favour#Also yes Iva-chan working with the Revs would also add to the things people say about them absolutely
