Crocodile is a seasoned, cunning, and business-savvy pirate who is self-assured and confident in himself and his abilities, as evidenced by his former title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that he had held on for years. He enjoys toying with weaker opponents. Crocodile's willingness to kill shows his pitiless nature, and he does not think twice about sentencing another person to death. He is also swift to get angry if someone insults or ridicules him in any way.
