I know I have talked about 'Crocodile might have been the missing Amazon Empress' theory before, and have actually discussed how it may have been possible each time new information comes out.
but at the same time. I am actually happy that the theory has been disproved in the latest SBS and Oda gave us the name and face of the previous Empress, Toritoma.
Her Hair and Eye-shape are totally different than Crocodile's from when Oda drawn him as a woman and as a child. Also, Hancock's clothing as a child is that of the Amazon people. Meaning Crocodile did not grow up among the Amazons.
this does not, however, discredit the headcanon that Crocodile was afab and has since transitioned. nor that he is not associated with the Amazons. **If** his mother was Gloriosa and he was raised off the island with his father (maybe Xebec), and only to later end up in other people's custody (maybe Stussy) and outside of Gloriosa's reach to be raised elsewhere (maybe by Du Feld) to keep hidden.
