One Pieceentering the final saga is proving to be a good thing for fans, as they are finally getting the answers to the many mysteries that Eiichiro Oda has embedded in the story. One such mystery is Crocodile’s Secret, which is only known to Emporio Ivankov and hasn’t been talked about in a long time.

However, this has not stopped fans from devising theories to find out what Crocodile’s biggest secret is. And now fans have combined this secret with Crocodile’s inability to use Haki techniques to make it sound more reasonable and logical. One such theory that has recently surfaced on the internet has a rickety idea as to why Crocodile doesn’t use Haki.
While this theory does sound intriguing, other fans do not agree with it in the slightest. This is why they have started formulating their own ideas about why Crocodile is not able to use Haki and is being ignored in the narrative.

One PieceTheory About Crocodile’s Inability to Use Haki
The former Warlord of the Sea, Crocodile, is an important character, but there have been assumptions about him that he is actually a woman- Luffy’s mother, to be precise, and he used Ivankov’s Devil Fruit powers to transform himself into a man.u/Sxfjvon Reddit has formulated a flimsy theory about Crocodile not being able to use Haki on these assumptions.

According to the theory, Crocodile knows how to use Haki techniques, but he prefers not to use them as they would discard the effects of Ivankov’s Devil Fruit on Crocodile’s physical body. This was recently seen during the battle between Law and Blackbeard whenLaw used Haki to turn himself back to his original gender.
Thus, if Crocodile uses Haki continuously, he would also need frequent hormone injections from Ivankov to keep himself from becoming a woman again. While this theory sounds interesting at first, there are a lot of plotholes that make it incompetent for theOne Piecestoryline.

Fans Have A Different Opinion About Crocodile’s Inability to Use Haki
One Piecefans were never in favor ofCrocodile being a woman, much less Luffy’s mother. Although the theory gained a lot of traction, it was never liked by hardcoreOne Piecefans as it would have destroyed the image of Crocodile. Thus, when they found out about the theory being used as a reason to justify Crocodile’s inability to use Haki, they came up with their own ideas.
One such idea pointed out that Crocodile not being able to use Haki despite being a warlord had nothing to do with him as a character, but withEiichiro Oda’sneed to create a long-form Shonen manga.

Making a story that is more than 1100 chapters long certainly has its drawbacks, and one of these drawbacks is keeping track of every character.

The idea assumes that Oda’sOne Piecestory became so big that the mangaka forgot about the huge array of characters that have been left behind. One of them is a crocodile. While this sounds more realistic and robust, Oda certainly will have a plan for Crocodile in the future, and it might clear out everything about theOne Piececharacter.
