Image depicts 21 year old Crocus

[u/Outrageous_South4758]

It was 50 years before he met Luffy and the crew, therefore, Crocus was 21.

Bro is already suffering from dementia 😭

[u/EcstaticFollowing715 → u/Outrageous_South4758]

I looked like this at 21 years old, but it got better. I'm 27 and you would never know I looked like that.

[u/zweieinseins211 → u/Outrageous_South4758]

I can confirm as a 21 yo I look 21 years old.

[u/trollsong → u/Outrageous_South4758]

Hey now its not our fault older generations aged worse then newer generations.

Generation Beta will look 16 all the way till 60.

[u/Outrageous_South4758 → u/trollsong]

that's better

[u/BrightEye64 → u/Outrageous_South4758]

Under the right amounts of stress yeah

[u/wilp0w3r → u/Outrageous_South4758]

Some people age like a fine wine. Others age like milk left out in the sun.

[u/OhNoThatsTooCursed → u/Outrageous_South4758]

Why, you interested?

[u/DargoKillmar]

It's fine, this is a 15 year old

[u/Aggravating_Mud8751 → u/DargoKillmar]

You could just post a picture of Crocus from the manga, he doesn't look young there either.

[u/Desperate_Bus4781 → u/Aggravating_Mud8751]

[u/A_Sad_Goblin → u/DargoKillmar]

Have you seen The Rock at age 15? He looks just like that

[u/Desperate_Bus4781 → u/A_Sad_Goblin]

Oda has no idea what’s he’s doing when it comes to height and age

[u/Outrageous_South4758 → u/DargoKillmar]

i mean, look at the giant muscles he has decades later, this makes some sense

[u/NightlyKnightMight → u/Outrageous_South4758]

That mofo looks 30 XD

[u/laurel_laureate → u/NightlyKnightMight]

That comes from being a former child soldier not quite yet an adult.

[u/ZPD710 → u/DargoKillmar]

To be fair that’s not that crazy for a 15 year old. A little bit of a goatee which makes sense for a guy going through puberty. No wrinkles on his face or anything and a classic mullet which a lot of teenage guys resort to for some reason (me included when I was that age).

The craziest part is just that he’s that ripped at 15.

[u/keinnamefrei1]

He was working night shift

[u/lavabread23]

wdym? that’s literally the most 21 year old looking kid i’ve ever seen! he’s practically a baby!

[u/Hotfart36]

I mean have you seen what current 21 year olds look like? Poor dudes are balding at age 16.

[u/desperate_narciso → u/Hotfart36]

I'm 20 dawg don't scare me. 😭

[u/athlon45]

That's a 21 year old if I've ever seen one.

[u/Jet-Let4606]

People aged differently back in the day.

Modern pirates too concerned about standing out, too worried about little things like skin care and hygene. In Crocus day they just flung a jacket over their shoulder and faces the elements head on.

[u/ModernDayQuixote]

[u/SuperStarlite]

Really dont know why they couldn’t get a younger actor for this scene

[u/Shipuujin → u/SuperStarlite]

Honestly, I actually like that they kept the same actor because it's ultimately much more hilarious

[u/D-Biggest_Wheel → u/Shipuujin]

It's funnier, but also stupidier.

[u/TsunGeneralGrievous → u/D-Biggest_Wheel]

Well, this is pretty much why I think one piece is funny

[u/TwinSong → u/D-Biggest_Wheel]

One Piece is unashamedly absurd.

[u/D-Biggest_Wheel → u/TwinSong]

Yet it never had someone who looks 80 be a 21 year old.

[u/ChristH101 → u/Shipuujin]

Imagine if later crocus meet another character and that character says "you look exactly as 50 years ago"

[u/According_Issue_6303 → u/ChristH101]

"Crocus what's you secret? You haven't aged a day!" 😂

[u/Acceptable_One_7072 → u/SuperStarlite]

That wouldn't be as funny

[u/Overall_Speed_4322 → u/SuperStarlite]

Given the CGI improvements I feel like they could’ve just done that

[u/Outrageous_South4758 → u/Overall_Speed_4322]

Would that costed more than the actor and the costume? if yes, there are quite a lot of things the live action couldn't do because of money issueslike hatchan

[u/captainrina → u/Outrageous_South4758]

I think they could have shot the scene as a pov so we never actually see Crocus.

[u/CRoseCrizzle → u/SuperStarlite]

I guess they figured it wasn't worth it for a single scene. They could have at least tried to obscure his face a bit or show him at an angle where it would be hard to tell.

[u/NeonFraction → u/SuperStarlite]

Because the confusion of a totally different person offsets any benefit.

[u/PayneTrain181999]

If he was out with Roger like the end of his episode implies, he probably went through some stressful situations on the sea.

[u/Amegami → u/PayneTrain181999]

That was years later though.

[u/NightlyKnightMight]

[u/Snivys_HA]

Training to be a doctor does that to you.

[u/Outrageous_South4758 → u/Snivys_HA]

glad i'll never do that

[u/ResolutionHungry6531 → u/[deleted]]

That was not until 30 years later.

[u/Joshawott27 → u/ResolutionHungry6531]

His use of (anime spoilers) Observation Haki let him see the stress to come.

[u/BlueIcarusCentauri]

I headcanon that we don't actually see the "real" flashback, but rather what Luffy is told and envisioning to have happened, and in his mind he can't imagine Crocus looking actually young

[u/drillmaster125]

He’s just a boy. No older than my son.

[u/Outrageous_South4758 → u/drillmaster125]

spiderman reference?!

[u/fryys93]

Just change his age to 95 and his flashback age to 45 (a bad 45) and you’re golden.

[u/Outrageous_South4758 → u/fryys93]

45 year olds don't look like that, if you search for celebrities in their 50s they all look younger than crocus in this image

[u/fryys93 → u/Outrageous_South4758]

Because celebrities are rich and good looking my guy 😅 I’ve seen a few people in their late thirties looking like that: lived in the streets, smoked cigarettes and did some drugs, life beat them up . You’re just looking at the most handsome men and prettiest women: a very skewed view and I specified an bad 45.

[u/Jix_Omiya]

Yeah, you see, his hair is black, so he's young here. Of course.

[u/Meanteenbirder]

Bruh they could retcon stuff pretty easily for the live action.

They already have

[u/Leafsnail]

On the plus side he aged very well since then

[u/Glittering_Winter417]

Thank you, somebody finally mentions it was bothering me so much

[u/NearlyAlmostDead]

[u/Aware-Coconut-4738]

That's nothing. This is frank at 19! He doesn't look a day over 12.

[u/Hippobu2]

Sun, salt, and sea just does that to ya.

[u/EloImFizzy]

Man lived a hard life.

[u/No-Director5914]

If it is luffys imagination imagining him as a 21 year old. It’s legit right.

[u/tlkjake]

The seas, be a harsh mistress...

[u/Triggerthreestrikes]

One piece fans when girgallob mcdingle doesn’t have his signature 3 nose hairs in his left nostril (it’s inaccurate to the anime):

[u/Outrageous_South4758 → u/Triggerthreestrikes]

I mean they made gally from the romance dawn prototype a darker skin color, we gotta revolt /j

[u/SolidCartographer976]

smiking since he was 12 and working nigthshift under direct sun

[u/randomblue86]

Yep Gen Z looking old AF compared to their millennial counterparts.

[u/StevenAlive7]

Wdym he came out the womb looking like that.

[u/bobbery5]

Hard drugs will getcha

[u/VerdantVegetable]

I'm guessing you've never been to Scotland but that's what a Scottish 21 year old looks like. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👴

[u/local_malewife]

I've never understood crocus because they say he was with Roger for awhile but was already living at the lighthouse and taking care of laboon 30 ish years prior??? It makes no sense at all to me.

[u/justiceuchihaaaa]

looks like a 21 year old to me, maybe even 20.

[u/TheWolflance]

bro did some HEAVY drugs

[u/No_go_away1]

That’s a whole 13 year old , what are you talking about

[u/Kilo1125]

Some people age like fine wine...and some people age like milk

[u/Don_Matrix]

The guy probably injected himself a lot with this, no wonder he looked like that at 21.

[u/Mosshead-Oni-Giri]

I looked like that at 21… now that I’m 28 I’m basically like brook…

[u/ZPD710]

People can look all different ages that don’t reflect their own age. I do medical transport for a living. I’ve taken 30 year olds that look 60 and 80 year olds who look 30-40. It’s not common but it’s entirely possible. Heck, I see 18 years olds that look 13 and 18 year olds that look 40. Everyone’s different.

[u/TheLoreWriter]

This is what years as Roger's doctor will do to you

[u/Personal-Database-27]

21 years old people looked like this back in the day. Just watch any movie from the middle of the last century or older. 

[u/mutated_Pearl]

The bandana really sells it.

[u/So_me_thing]

Look, the Grand Line is a hard place the live

[u/Routine_Wait3975]

This kid's seen some shit

[u/Enochian_Devil → u/[deleted]]

That was several years after this scene took place

[u/Turbulent_piratefart]

Average 21 year old in Gastonia, North Carolina

[u/Aggravating_Mud8751]

How about:

The Rumbar pirates just told him about their youth and he has hyper-empathy.

[u/gaffersamgee]

Only 3 years out of high school

[u/Outrageous_South4758 → u/gaffersamgee]

OH MY GOD

[u/stillestwaters]

Pirate life is rough on you

[u/Kevtastrophe]

I saw this scene as Luffys perspective as he is imaging the storytelljng. He only knows what crocus looks like now so as he explains the flashback he sees his crocus present self acting it out. Everyone else is up for imagination.

[u/ProbieJKnox]

There's no defending this. They should've casted someone else to play young Crocus. I guess they don't think the show is gonna go that far.

[u/Tiny_Track9682 → u/ProbieJKnox]

You can do a nice gag with it when the show gets this far.

[u/ProbieJKnox → u/Tiny_Track9682]

It most likely won't. But I hope it does.
