Sir Crocodile arrived in the country of Vano relatively recently. The warm climate, bright nature and customs were to his liking, but the variable raininess sometimes irritated him. Now he was sitting in the garden waiting for his future bride. He had heard that the daughter of a local nobleman was not married yet. He managed to convince the girl's father that he would marry his daughter to Crocodile. The former shichibukai slowly smoked a cigar and looked expectantly towards the house.
