Crocodile's other weakness?

[SSJ2]

In Impel Down, Ivankov mentioned that he knows what one of Crocodile's weaknesses is. It's implied that this weakness is different that being weak to water, so what do you think it could be?

 

[Papasmurf]

A common theory is that Ivankov gave him a sex change from female to male and is hiding it so he can boss Croc around.

 

[sei'taer]

It's clearly something from his past and not a physical weakness.

I've never really cared for the sex change theory.

 

[Papasmurf]

It's neither plausible nor implausible because it hasn't been confirmed or denied. I can sort of understand why people would theorize such though, given the only implication is that Ivankov basically knows a secret Crocodile doesn't want people to hear and his power is mainly juicing people with hormones.

Whether I want it to be true is another story and I don't, but whatever, the OP world is already very wacky.

Spoiler

Look at how flustered Crocodile gets when Ivankov simply appears, let alone mentions the other weakness. It's definitely implied that this is a weakness separate to water.

 

[SSJ2]

And yes, I'd say a sex change wouldn't make sense here. Ivankov specifically says that he can "take out Crocodile" implying that it's a battle weakness.

 

[Son Gokū]

I can EASILY see the sex change thing being the actual reason.

 

[Warmmedown]

Could have been a double whammy from Ivankov, as in could have been saying that probably Croc won't try anything since Ivankov knows his secret weakness, but just in case Croc still does try something he can also defeat him in a fight. Not so likely though, just saying.

Could be a battle weakness Ivankov knows from Croc being in a relationship with Ivankov in Croc's rookie days.
Can't think of how the sex change could be a battle weakness. If it's to do with hormones Croc didn't have access to any in prison anyway.

 

[SSJ2]

I just can't see him having another weakness similar to water in how it effects him. He's a logia, what can damage him aside from haki?

 

[Kyo]

Don't think it's a battle weakness but it could be anything really. The only reason that the sex change theory is prevalent is because there's pretty much nothing else to go on.

 

[SSJ2]

Doesn't Ivankov's quote imply it's a battle weakness? The context is about Crocodile turning on them, and Ivankov says that he can take him out if that is the case, and he laughs about his weakness.
