To be honest I can kinda see how having a hook instead of a hand prosthetic has its benefits

Hook is easier to mantain than a hand with lots of small moving pats, especially when you don't know shit about it. If something happens to it and it gets broken, it's much easier to replace a hook, even with all layers and poisons

And depending on when in time Crocodile lost his hand he may have just got used to it already

But also yeah, Crocodile is just the type of guy to choose a hook instead of a new hand because looks and aesthetics lol

(sorry for typos btw)

Crocodile's hook is kind of fun because it's a reflection of so many things in the story. Like there's the in-universe lore and character stuff we can look at, but also we can look at it from a meta perspective

Like we know Oda wanted to give certain important characters in the story the Iconic Pirate Traits; the peg leg for Zeff, the hook for Crocodile and an eyepatch he has seemingly been saving up all these years for a special someone (my money's on Mr Burns but that's a different subject). And so Crocodile having the iconic hook is a part of an old pirate-y "vision" Oda wanted to fulfill with One Piece, an OG "goal" from waaay back in the day

But another thing is that Crocodile is very much from The Olden Days of One Piece, more specifically, very much pre-what I'd call the sci-fi era of OP. I'd say One Piece started truly dwelling deeper into that genre and its tropes during Punk Hazard, but Oda didn't even really dip his toes into it until the CP9 Saga (with the introduction of Franky and the namedropping of Doctor Vegapunk). Sure, Oda did already hint at the existence of Vegapunk and his scientific developments back in Alabasta (when Miss Merry Christmas explained that Lassoo was a gun that had eaten a Dog Dog Fruit, this being "the Latest Science from the Grand Line"*), but One Piece was still very much in its more classical fantasy element/genre at this point in the story, so the science fiction that was to come years and decades later was not even present at this point

*(Thinking about it, honestly, how the fuck did Mr 4 get his hands on Lassoo if Lassoo was created by Vegapunk?? Was he a gift from Vegapunk/the WG to Crocodile, maybe????? That Crocodile just secretly gave away to Mr 4????)

In other words, in hindsight it might seem odd Crocodile wouldn't have taken advantage of his position as a Warlord and gotten a prosthetic arm to replace his hook. But Crocodile is a One Piece character from a different era in the story, when advanced prosthetics, cyborgs, robots, clones and so much more were nothing but a twinkle in Oda's eyes. So expecting Crocodile to have lived up to the sci-fi future One Piece wasn't originally going to even get to would be unreasonable.

But the fun thing is that we can actually look at Crocodile and his silly little hook, and spin it in a way that does actually complement his character. We can find in-universe reasons for him to have stuck to a hook over an advanced prosthetic, and they make sense. The most obvious would of course be that Crocodile does not trust anyone. It would be very much unlike him to go to Vegapunk and/or the World Government requesting to be given a prosthetic, because that would mean 1) Leaving himself vulnerable for a period of time so that Vegapunk could actually give him a prosthetic (dangerous) 2) Knowing the WG they would not just give out something like that for free, surely they'd want something from Crocodile in exchange. And, while we know what would become of Kuma eventually (a fate so cruel I'm sure even Crocodile could not have imagined) I'm sure he could have suspected the WG could want to use him for a science experiment or two, something I'm sure Crocodile would never have agreed to. Or maybe the WG/Vegapunk would've wanted Crocodile to pay them an obscene amount of money in exchange for a prosthetic, and/or have him do some other favors. Whatever the case, I'm sure none of these options would have seemed worth it in his mind.

And yeah, what you said.

Maintaining and taking care of a hook would be easier, like if Vegapunk's prosthetics ever broke or malfunctioned for any reason Crocodile would have to make a horrifically long hike all the way from Alabasta to Marijoa, cross the Red Line (to be fair his Shichibukai Status would allow him to go over which would be more convenient than passing through Fishman Island), go to Punk Hazard (or Egghead later on), and then hike aaall the way back to Alabasta again. And Vegapunk's inventions didn't always work as intended, the man had to refine and develop his creations to get them to work the way he wanted them to.

So if the option get a prosthetic was ever brought up to Crocodile by the WG like 10+ years ago, he might've been far more cynical about Vegapunk's ability to actually create a decent prosthetic that worked and wouldn't malfunction/have issues etc. And as you suggested, by that time he probably would have become used to his hook, to the point that he didn't mind keeping it.

And yeah, it would be just a big ol' Luffyism if he preferred the giant, golden, gaudy-ass hook

Hi!! I saw your tags in your reply to my post about Nami calling Kaido on his bullshit! I saw where you said Nami has two options with Luffy and Vivi, what about Robin? 😅 For SOME REASON Zoro X Robin is popular which makes NO SENSE to me

So I loooove Nami and Robin as a duo but I personally hc them as sisters bc I think that’s what both of them secretly appreciate about the other, the friendship and closeness that comes with the familial relationship. That being said, as partners they’d be super cute too! Joint shopping trips, makeovers, just very girly fun while Robin appreciates watching her gf swindle the sales guy while she steals her gf a cute outfit as well. Very very cute pairings; previously I have seen Robin, Usopp and Nami as a sibling trio (oldest, youngest and middle siblings respectively)

Personally I ship Robin with Franky (the “existence is never a crime” is seared into my heart and soul) plus all of their little rom com nods w the matching clothing, lap pillow in punk hazard, shielding robin from hail to Zou, asking her to ride w him in Wano (and she AGREED TO, BROOK WHY WOULD YOU SINK MY SHIP BY RUINING THEIR CUDDLE!) and lately kinda with Jinbe too. Maybe even a little Law, mainly due to him and Robin being survivors of world government extinctions and surviving by joining equally corrupt institutions.

But yeah Zoro and Robin is one of the few pairs in the strawhats that I’m like ….really? Those two? Okaaaaay? (After Sanji and Nami which I agree they care for each other but it’s very much a Barbie and her Ken dynamic; someone who worships another who will just never care for them in that regard) but yeah I just…don’t see them having much in common outside of devotion to Luffy vs Robin and others on the crew having things to talk about or activities to share together (even Robin/Sanji makes more sense to me)

That being said, all of this is imo and if you like the pairs, awesome! ‘Tis just not for me (Zoro/Robin)

Nami/Robin tho…I’m now having lots of cute girly stuff they’d do together, I’m just SUCH a Vivi/Nami die hard (that being said, Nami does have 2 hands 👀)

this !!!!!!!!!! this is something that took me FOREVER to realize. i was always super into art since i was a kid so everyone told me i'd be an animator or painter or graphic designer, but now that i'm in college i realized.... i literally HATE drawing if i HAVE to do it. it's so much more of a hobby for me than i thought it would be. but that's perfectly fine too!! we need to stop pushing that your passions NEED to be your career. just draw for fun if you want to you guys !!!!!!!!!

its actually very silly that if ur any type of art kid as a teenager everyone is like oh have u thought abt graphic design or advertising. yeah the little emo dude who fills sketchbooks with anime gore all day would be great at making customers buy product.
