Crocodile was a female

Since the moment we saw the interaction with Crocodile and Ivankov in IMPEL DOWN, I always wodered what was their past connection.

Emporio Ivankov one of the leading commander’s of the Revolutionary Army, with the ability of the Horu Horu no Mi (Hormone) might have a dark side to his story!

There could be a number of reason’s for this, but there is only one reasonthat strikes me as the logic choice...

Crocodile back in his Rookie day’s would have been a young lady so to speak. But in the picture drawn by Oda of Crocodile as a kid, she looks questionably boyish.

We know that Oda uses the dark and mostly original side of any
story/myth when using it in his work of fiction.

And if this is so, then what does this mean for Iva? Is his true nature really dark? Does his involvement with the Revolutionary Army mean they are not as good as we once thought?

Now it’s obvious who Crocodile is based off, Captain James Hook. So who is Ivankov based off...?

None other than Peter Pan

And lastly, could Ivankov be the reason Crocodile lost his hand? After all Peter Pan did cut off Captain Hooks hand!
