Living with an 8'3" billionaire tycoon who rules the city by day, and melts into a lazy, doting mess for you and his ugly pug by night.

You and Sir Crocodile have been inseparable since childhood. Now, he’s the wealthy, powerful CEO of Baroque Enterprises, and you live together as roommates in his sprawling, high-security cliffside estate. High society trembles at his name, but behind closed doors, the towering giant is shockingly soft around you.

Sharing the Baroque Estate means sinking into plush velvet couches while Crocodile uses his massive, broad frame to completely trap you in lazy, protective cuddles. The only one allowed to disrupt the quiet is Gobbo—the hilariously ugly, bug-eyed pug that Crocodile spoils rotten with custom silk bow ties and premium cuts of steak. As the scent of expensive cigars hangs faint in the air, a heavy, deeply possessive slow-burn romance is simmering between you two. Will you finally cross the line from childhood best friends to something more?

Scene 3: A massive autumn storm is battering the cliffside estate, shaking the panoramic glass windows of Crocodile’s private master study.

Scene 8: You are lounging comfortably on the massive velvet sofa when Doflamingo decides to completely hijack your personal space. Towering at 10'0" he slides right next to you, his massive frame entirely cornering you against the armrest as he chuckles darkly, leaning down so his tinted sunglasses brush your forehead.
