Crocus

Crocus (クロッカス, Kurokkasu?) was a former member and doctor of the "Roger Pirates". Crocus is a wise and caring man and has a strange habit to take his time when it comes to answer questions. Fifty years before the current storyline, Crocus met the "Rumbar Pirates" as they entered the Grand Line through Reverse Mountain from the West Blue. Crocus promised to take care of their pet whale "Laboon" while they journeyed the Grand Line. However despite the Rumbar Pirates' promise to come back after two to three years, Crocus didn't meet them again at the promised time and waited much longer. Twenty-four years later, Crocus met the Roger Pirates who came into the Grand Line through Reverse Mountain. Learning that their captain, Gol D. Roger, was suffering from an incurable disease, Crocus was asked by the pirates to join them as their doctor in order to help stabilize Roger's health as they journeyed the Grand Line. Wanting to find out what had happened to the Rumbar Pirates, Crocus accepted their offer and joined them. After Roger was executed, Crocus returned to Laboon and his home in the entrance to the Grand Line. Crocus is a very tough and powerful fighter. He uses harpoons as his weapon of choice, and is even strong enough to kill Sea Kings. He is voiced by Goro Naya in the Japanese version. In the English dub, he is voiced by Jerry Russell for Funimation.
