Noble Croc

The Noble Croc is an oversized crocodile in pale blue, towering well above an ordinary person and made taller still by his habit of rearing up onto his hind legs. He tops his head with a purple bowler hat and wears trousers held up by suspenders.

Carnivorous by nature, the Noble Croc feels no hesitation about eating other thinking beings, though humans are a deliberate exception to his menu. Other races hold his interest instead, and he is keen to sample the flesh of a mink.

Being a crocodile makes him a strong swimmer capable of moving through water unseen. His considerable bulk lets him gulp down several ordinary humans or minks in a single mouthful.

He first surfaced while gliding down one of the Seducing Woods' rivers as the Sanji Retrieval Team crossed a bridge; he lunged to eat them but they dodged, and once he registered that most were human, he lost interest and left. He later turned up at Charlotte Brûlée's Mirro-World house among her henchmen as she readied a soup made from Carrot. Anticipating a taste of mink, he was undone when Carrot and Tony Tony Chopper broke free; Chopper crept behind him, entered Monster Point, and flipped him by the tail; the fall pinned Brûlée's other henchmen beneath his weight and left the whole group beaten.
