Crocus

Crocus[2] is a doctor and the caretaker of the whale Laboon as well as the overseer of the Twin Cape Lighthouse that guides ships coming down from Reverse Mountain into the Grand Line. Crocus' appearance is based on the flower with the same name, as seen with the petals around his head. He has a rather stocky and muscular body, is bald on the top of his head, but has white hair with aellow flower petal-like things, that have purple near the bottom of them, and a white beard that splits into two parts. His lower lip is noticeably larger than his upper.

He wears a pink shirt with a yellow and green stripe with purple circles in the yellow along with blueish-grey shorts with sandals. He also wears glasses, a seaweed necklace, three gold bracelets, and a green gem bracelet on his left wrist. He also has a scar on his left arm.[1]

24 years ago, he had black hair, with yellow parts sticking out resembling a flower. His face was less wrinkled, and he wore a pink hat with black spots on it. He did not have a beard, but instead just had stubble.

As a member of the Roger Pirates, he wore a pink sleeveless shirt, and dark pink hat, and carried harpoons on his back. His beard and hair were still black, and he seemed to be more muscular.

After the time skip, he has the same clothes, but a new dark-colored shirt with pictures on it.[5]Crocus is a wise and caring man. He has a strange habit of taking his time when it comes to answering questions. He once took a direct hit from a cannon attack by Mr. 9 to protect Laboon, showing that he deeply cares about the whale.[6] He strongly values friendship, as, despite decades of separation from the Rumbar Pirates, Crocus had joined the Roger Pirates to search for its members to help Laboon reunite with them.

As a member of the Roger Pirates, Crocus readily supported them from fighting to giving medical treatments. Crocus is shown to be strict when it comes to healthcare as he berated Roger for his excessive drinking despite having a terminal illness. Crocus also forbids Buggy from traveling with them to Laugh Tale due to his sudden high fever despite his desperate pleas. Crocus is an extraordinary doctor and one of the finest medical specialists in the world. According to Rayleigh, Crocus was the only doctor who could halt the deterioration of Gol D. Roger's incurable disease, prolonging the latter's life long enough to reach Laugh Tale and conquer the Grand Line.[4]

Crocus is a capable pharmacist, developing effective medicine on his own and supplying large quantities for Roger so he could use it on himself to live out the remainder of his lifespan. He also developed a tranquilizer that works on even Laboon, a 400-meter-long whale.

Moreover, Crocus is an outstanding surgeon as he was able to surgically modify Laboon to install routes in his body, facilitating medical treatment for the whale.
