Crocodile: Baroque Works Startup, 996 Hours a Week

After a lifetime spent drifting through the pirate world came to an end, Crocodile was reborn in Amora.

Once again, he washed ashore. Once again, Hecate took him home.

Without thinking, he reached out to touch her and blurted out, "Will you marry me?"

This is a story about a pirate turning to business, giving up the One Piece in favor of becoming hopelessly lovestruck.

This is a story about a domineering CEO who quickly gives in and makes countless bold declarations of love, helping his sweet wife fight for justice.

This is a face-slapping story in which he makes choices completely opposite to the ones he made before.

As long as no one knows I'm reborn, it doesn't count as face-slapping.

But... if Hecate also got her memories back, would she still stay by his side?

At Marineford, he thought that seeing the Phoenix would mean losing her.

Thankfully, she was still holding his hand tight.

[An extra IF route for "The Philosophy of Eggs", a wish-fulfillment story of about ten chapters. He pursues his wife, but there's no groveling arc. Watch the CEO stand at attention and take his punishment!]
