A common comment I’m getting is about “Logia fruits have passive intangibility” despite the example that shows the contrary in 5:05. This example can be passed up as a gag scene and not valid which is fair but other instances of Logia users being caught off guard, blitzed or standing around can just be argued to be in the element form already examples being Enel, Kizaru w/ Apoo, Monet w/ Zoro etc. Personally I don’t think there’s a definitive answer to this so I don’t really care which stance you guys take. As it pertains to this video and match up it’s just an argument for those who will cope and aren’t willing to accept Oda retconning Lucci and CP9 to have Haki preskip.

Obviously, Lucci did not have haki pre-timeskip. If he did, then he couldn't use it consciously. He attacked Luffy countless times pre-timeskip. It was stated that Lucci could not hurt Luffy at all outside of sharp attacks and the Rouku-Ougan.

I personally think Crocodile is gonna surprise us when he returns and I’ve had stocks for him since he popped off in marineford. seeing my favourite Sandy and extremely intelligent mob boss being relevant also makes me have high hopes for when doffy returns to the story (because let’s be honest he will, he’s either gonna join cross guild or Blackbeard). Croc’s been my favourite villan since he was introduced in alabasta and I have no doubts that he’ll definitely be stronger than Robert hold this L. Ucci. I probably have him in my top 5 yonko commanders behind Beckman, Aokiji and Mihawk off of portrayal, narrative importance and bias but if we’re going off pure feats, I unfortunately gotta give it to Robert Hold this L. Ucci. I will say though, 1 thing they both have in common is that they are undoubtedly some of the drippiest and most stylish characters in the series

I see lucci have jinbei level because luffy low diff him zoro mid diff lucci so that means sanji high diff him jinbei extreme diff him and I think crocodile will be stronger than jinbei I know it filler but crocodile looked like he was going to pack up jinbei and Jinbei got one shotted by mihawk while crocodile stood up to him. I also think he will have a awakening logia which is overpowered that why we hold the admirals and Blackbeard so highly and crocodile 1v1 Douglas bullet when he was determined and the show is showing that he gaining his determination from back then and he will learn haki and buggy will motivate you so I see him yc1 and admiral level since he all he got other than mihawk so that place mihawk and crocodile higher and mihawk respect crocodile strength

I think Crocodile at least is Doflamingo level now which could range between 3rd Division or 2nd Division Commander level. He obviously has Awakened his Sand Fruit even before Alabasta I believe as he told Luffy back then he mastered his Devil Fruit to perfection and was the first character in the story to bring up Devil Fruit Awakenings during Impel Down. Crocodile was extremely nerfed during Alabasta because he didn't use his Awakening on Luffy because he thought he didn't need too as he thought of him as your average rookie the way Big Mom was nerfed in Wano in her fight against Law and Kidd with her not using her Advanced Conqueror's Haki Coating once on them because she didn't need to use her best against rookie brats.

You can argue that Crocodile lost his edge due to him being in Alabasta for years laying low. There was no real challenge to stimulate growth or maintain power. Look at how much weaker Moria got after clashing equally with Kaido. Their respective feats is what made them Warlords in the first place.

Logia fruit users can train with their fruit to the point where their body unconsciously turns intangible to attacks. Crocodile stated that he mastered his fruit even though we didnt see him using awakening but that could be explained away by saying that he was awakened which is why it rained after Luffy beat him or that he didnt have it because Oda hadnt thought of it at that point in the story. I just thought I'd add that. I dont really disagree with what you had said though.

Lucci definitely deserves a spot among the 1st Commanders. Meanwhile the most I can give Crocodile right now is mid-tier Commander level. Like the Queen, Jinbei, Jozu, Ace, Smoothie caliber. All they way down to Doffy level. The most I can assume is that he got Armament Haki and Observation Haki and Marineford already gave him a buff through his Impel Down prison gains in physical stats. But I do agree that he is basically like the 1st Commander to Mihawk who is the Yonko caliber fighter of Crossguild. So Oda will probably bring him up to be among the 1st Commanders in strength. Because I think that's the level you need to be at to at least be effective against top tiers like the Admirals and Yonko.

Great video, Rob Lucci is just that guy now. But the part where you mentioned logia Intangibility not being passive, that is weird. Because the evidence you showed was a gag moment. Because if that was actual evidence, it would literally be the only time that shows logia intangibility isn't passive. If we take that seriously, Nami punches hurting luffy or zoro should be taken seriously as well. To counter that it's not, look as zoro vs monet. She was scared for her life, she had no time to think about "turning it on".

assuming were talking about pretimeskip lucci considering the start of the series up to marineford is only 3 months....how did crocodile get such an insane power increase for marineford? needing to activate logia defense only applies to new users of the power. Crocodile is experienced so luccis speed is irrelevant to bypassing that. crocodile has the advantage since all he has to do is touch lucci with his right hand. or he could use ground death. there isn't really a scenario where lucci wins without the use of water. post time skip crocodile is losing.

Oda writes with narrative in mind first, and fits the power scaling in after that. It’s clear that Crocodile was always meant to be significantly strong on the big stage (warlords were considered one of the great powers), but because Luffy encountered him so early in his journey, it makes him appear weaker than that. Part of the purpose of giving him feats in Marineford might even have been to correct this perception (it’s not like he could train in handcuffs). I don’t think we can neatly scale characters in this series outside of obvious distinctions like admiral or Yonko being stronger than their subordinates, etc. And that doesn’t even always work because of cases like Garp or Mihawk. And I think that’s fine; this isn’t DBZ. The story is most important, and who wins a given fight can depend on so many factors outside of a nebulous concept like power level.

I personally see Crocodile at Admiral level now or the tier between 1st Yonko Commander-Admiral level. I think right now there are about 5 top tiers, 1st Yonko Commander, the tier between 1st Yonko Commander and Admiral level, which I think Marco occupies that tier, Admiral level, Yonko level, and EOS something like a Pirate King level. I think Yamato occupies Admiral tier.

The uncertainty when it comes to haki pre-timeskip is what hurts this. Considering that Crocodile had clashed with Whitebeard before the series, him not having haki makes no sense. And the relation between the Rokushiki and haki is also annoyingly unclear. Jinbei’s remark during the Who’s Who fight and information released post Enies Lobby makes it seem like the Rokushiki are at least similar to haki. Maybe the very beginning of armament and observation, before the invisible armament and opening stages of observation. But if that’s the case, given what we’ve seen it seems like Luffy shouldn’t have been able to do anything against Lucci during Enies Lobby. But even with all that in mind, it does seem like Lucci is stronger than Crocodile at every stage we’ve so far. Especially post timeskip. I’d say Lucci is stronger than any Vice Admiral or lower we’ve seen in the story besides legends like Garp and Tsuyu. Crocodile so far hasn’t shown anything close to what we’ve seen from Lucci.
