Possessing the Devil Fruit power of Sand, this character is wished for an early departure by Oda's assistants.
Despite being a fan-favorite, this particular character is ironically wished for an early demise by Oda's artistic assistants due to a comical reason.
According to @sandman_AP, Oda's artistic assistants couldn't hide their frustration while illustrating Sir Crocodile in the One Piece manga.

In an interview, the assistants stated: 'It's exhausting illustrating Crocodile's powers because it takes too much time. We hope Crocodile meets his end sooner rather than later.' This interview excerpt is from the 'One Piece 10th Treasures' released in 2007, commemorating 10 years of One Piece manga.

In One Piece, Crocodile possesses the Logia-type Devil Fruit ability known as Suna Suna no Mi. This fruit allows the user to create, control, and transform into sand at will. With the descriptions provided, it's indeed a challenge for artists when Crocodile utilizes his Devil Fruit powers!

Speaking further about this character, Sir Crocodile, also known as Mr. 0, is the Director of the criminal organization Baroque Works and serves as the main antagonist in the Baroque Works Saga. Before being defeated by Luffy, Crocodile had at least twice incapacitated Luffy and became the first adversary to make the future Pirate King taste failure.
