Crocodile is the former leader of Baroque Works, a secret organization of assassins and spies, and a former member of the Shichibukai. Using Baroque Works, he instigates rebellion in the kingdom of Alabasta to gain access to the Poneglyph hidden beneath the palace. He believes it will reveal the location of the weapon Pluton, which Crocodile aims to control in order to establish his military power. He is defeated by Monkey D. Luffy and subsequently stripped of his Shichibukai status by the World Government, leading to his imprisonment. Crocodile consumed the fictional Devil Fruit Suna Suna no Mi (Sand-Sand Fruit), granting him the ability to manipulate sand and avoid damage by transforming into sand. According to series creator Eiichiro Oda, Crocodile's bounty would have been more than twice its value if he had not been a Shichibukai (his bounty before accepting Shichibukai status was 81,000,000).
