Hi! I'm Brooki and you might be aware that I'm a bit of a Crocodile fan (I am delusionally in love with him) so of course I had to start up a zine for my beloved Desert King! He stole my heart from the beginning of Alabasta and I've been obsessed with this beautiful stoic man ever since. I'm so so excited for this project!
Jess | Merch Mod, Shipping Mod & Finance Mod
I’m Jess! I love designing merch and sending it off to a new home for fellow OP enjoyers. My favourite thing about Crocodile is when he turns into sand when someone tries to hurt him... it's hot.

Hi, I'm Janina, an avid reader, beta and zine lover. And if I love one reptile, then it's this one! That dusty man stole my heart with his fur coat and a simple "Mugiwara". Ever since Impel Down, I was hooked for good!
Levi | Art Mod
Hey there, I’m Levi! I’m that Shanks artist you’ve probably seen around. I love OP dilfs and so of course I’ve loved Crocodile since Impel Down. Why did he look so good in that prison uniform?
