As a youngster, he carefully nursed the dream of becoming a pirate king after getting inspired from Gol D. Roger. However, due to a turning point in his life, Crocodile becomes disillusioned and that fractures his desires to find One Piece. Later, he establishes a criminal organization Baroque Works in order to generate pandemonium and usurp power. For this, Mr. 0 assumes the role of a hero to topple the Alabasta Kingdom and to seize the ancient weapon Pluton.
After being defeated by Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates in Alabasta, Crocodile is stripped of his Shichibukai (Warlord of the Sea). Also, he is incarcerated in Impel Down, the most secure prison in the world. After partaking in a prison break alongside Luffy, he battles against both Marines and pirates, displeased by Whitebeard and his chaotic nature. Post the war, Crocodile vanishes into the New World.
Crocodile consumes Suna Suna no Mi, that grants him the potency to manipulate sand and transform into it as well. He is adroit in combat skills and intelligence. Moreover, his enhanced physical strength and durability give him an edge over his enemies. Capable to create a large blade of sand (Desert Spada), generate a powerful sandstorm (Sables), dehydrate an entire region (Ground Death) as well as forming a series of crescent-shaped sand blades (Barchan); Mr. 0 is a serious case of a formidable foe.
