His devil fruit mastery has always been top level and now that we’re in the New World I’m very sure that he’s awakened his Devil fruit since he clearly holds devil fruit mastery to the top of his list in terms of combat. He’s shown the ability to contend with powerful pirates in Marineford, He clashed with Doflamingo, Mihawk, and Battled Akainu alongside the Whitebeard Commanders. Saved Luffy’s Life and Interacted on even terms with Doflamingo ANIME AND MANGA SHOP He seems to be going along that same route again rather than Openly sailing the New world with a crew.

Check out the Facebook page for link/details This New Organization is surely ran By Crocodile himself as we know he’s not he type of man who’d to work under anyone. In Daz Bones Vivre card it was revealed that he’s in the new world working for a secret organization. His ambitions after being defeated by an unknown rookie who has the same dream as him, awoken his fire and his mental scars were then fully healed after spending time in Impel Down. He was trying to force the thought to Luffy that he isn’t the first person to chase after the dream of becoming Pirate king wholehearted and that it’s foolish to expect success when even powerful men like himself who were unable to do so. Much like Moria Crocodile started his career with a Burning MotivationĬrocodile had shown a lot of animosity towards Luffy in their initial encounter because I’m sure the young rookie reminded him of Himself in his younger years before he clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates. Miss Goldenweek gave us a hint to this by revealing all of the Members secret Dreams, and of coarse we were shown that Crocodile secretly dreams of becoming Pirate King. It’s a bit overlooked as to the reason why Crocodile accompanied by Daz Bones, would choose to not escape the Marines with the rest of the Baroque Work Operatives.
