Writing Crocodile and his fruitwanis is actually so good ahhhhhhhhh! I have been writing for two hours, it's late and I need sleep, but damn. This man and his beloved apex predator pets.

If you're wondering, yes this is about my pregnant crocodad fanfic. Don't ask for details, he's suffering enough as is. I think I might break someone.

When he isn't working, the average Cross Guild pirate can find Crocodile in the lagoon giving the wani scrubbies.

It's both relaxing and makes for great exercise because it's more like washing a train. Their purrs of bliss reverberate throughout his entire body and he brushes each of their teeth without the slightest fear of being nipped.

The hatchlings are saved for the end because they're the easiest to clean with toothbrushes. Which also look like wanis. 😊😊

The boys much prefer scrubbing the wanis to scrubbing the decks of the ships or *shudder* having to pick up their rooms. Crocodile calls them his little plovers because they do such a good job with the teeth cleaning. Now if only they wouldn't fight their own teeth brushing so much.

Concept: Psychological (olfactory?) warfare with durianwani. When they get territorial they’ll give off a musk that stinks to high heavens, and Crocodile has trained a half-dozen of them to do it on command.

The smell is potent enough to have Navy patrols sailing off course for leagues just to avoid it. Sometimes even into dangerous currents.

Durianwanis have a scent that can politely be described as "a cocktail of spoiled milk, dead skunk, and sweat socks pickled in rotten onions, all coated in a thick layer of raw sewage and left to sit in the sun next to a dumpster of fish for a week straight" The wani handlers can't even get near one without a hazmat suit or they'll puke if they catch a single whiff of wani stank. And all those durianwanis converging on those battleships with a vengeance.

Vice-admiral Hound, nicknamed as such for his unparalleled sense of smell, fainted before navy ships came within sight of Karai Bari.
