"So doc? What's wrong with him?"
Jaws asks once you're back from that ten minute physical exam.
"C-Cold. So cold!"
"Basically? Nothing. As far as I can tell he has been fully turned into a woman. He's simply struggling to adjust to his new body as well as his hormone balance."
"What? You mean he's... fully equipped?"
"Can't say for sure. But it looks like it."
"So.... what do we do about it? Do we wait it out until he gets better?"
"N-No William. He can't get better. His body is female now. He can not produce male hormones, at least not enough to undo whatever was done to him. And even if he could I don't think it would help. You can't change a persons gender by pumping them full of hormones. I tried. This is the effect of a Devil Fruit. Not something easy to undo."
"So we kill them and get Silver back! Easy!"
"I'm... afraid not. I fear even if he died Silver may not return to how he was. Unless that Ivankov person undoes it personally. If I correctly understand how Devil Fruits work then if it simply magically turned someone into a woman, it'd be fine. But he produces hormones which cause the change. The change in sex is a byproduct of the effect, not the effect itself. Meaning it's permanent."
Suddenly you hear laughter coming from the room. And it does not belong to any of you.
"Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! It's refreshing to see that one of you knows what they are doing."
Sand blows in through the cracks of the room and it swiftly forms into a person.
"But after that sorry performance I'm afraid not even this will save you."
"CHOCOLATE!"
"It's Crocodile."
"I don't care Coco Jumbo! What are you doing here?!"
"We should be asking you the same thing."
The door that Crocodile passed through opens, revealing his right hand man, Daz Bones.
"Oh. We were just in the neighborhood when we heard the island was taken over. Normally I wouldn't care about what the Revolutionary Army does. But I heard Ivankov was here. So I came to pay him a visit. And say goodbye. Forever. Then you showed up and did your usual Elephant in the Chinashop routine, ruining my chance at killing him. Thanks for that. But at least you made up for it by making me laugh!"
"Not funny!"
"Oh but it is! Nice body."
"GRRRRR!"
"Anyway, your doctor is correct in her assumptions. Ivankovs ability is the only one that can change a persons gender and persists even after the users death. So unless you manage to get him to undo the curse, you are stuck like that for the rest of your life."
Crocodile then takes out a cigar and lights it.
"So... I have a proposition for you-"
