Re: Crocodile as the Missing Kuja Empress-theory

I do wanna throw it out there quickly that we know Shakky retired from being a pirate and the Kuja Empress 42 years ago at the age of 22, while Hancock took the throne 13 years ago (age 18), meaning the Missing Empress' reign/era lasted for about 29 years

And while we don't know how long the Kuja might've been without a ruler between empresses (like do they have a system set where they know who will take the throne next Immidiately After the previous one steps down/dies/etc, or might they spend years without an empress until they find a new suitable ruler?)

We do know that when Shakky retired, Crocodile would've been four

So unless Crocodile became The Kuja Empress at Age 4 (or unless the Kuja were completely without an empress for almost a decade and then gave the throne to a literal child), then there's no way Crocodile could be the Missing Kuja Empress

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #For the record Gloriosa couldn't have retaken the throne temporarily either because she was exiled #She didn't return to Amazon Lily until Hancock and her sisters escaped slavery 17 years ago #When the previous Empress pardoned Gloriosa and allowed her to return to Amazon Lily #The point is that the timeline really doesn't match for Crocodile to be the Missing Empress UNLESS he became the empress as a CHILD #Which. Technically plausible since we don't know how the Kuja choose their empresses etc but still I doubt it #(Or they really were without a proper ruler for like 14 years while waiting for the next empress in line to come of age??)#This post was spawned by me wondering if Croc could be Shakky and Reyleigh's kid. Like I almost made a post about it #(Just for one hell of a combo of fan theories (Kuja Empress + Crocodad + ''Reyleigh is Luffy's uncle''))#But then I realized how old Shakky and Reyleigh would've been when Shakky got pregnant and NOPE #So I canceled that post. It is not leaving my drafts. Shit's too cursed.#Almost a shame because I almost feel like I could've been onto something there but. No thank you. I'd rather not
