Very very scary. I want to see him since post timeskip.

Yeah I wonder what he is doing exactly he is not the subordinate type but he is the type to create a partnership if it suits his liking like he did in Impel Down with Luffy and Jinbe. I want to see what kinda action he and Das Bones have gotten into

They must be causing trouble for the Marines in some form. I know Crocodile wanted to be the one that killed Whitebeard but at the same time I am pretty sure he hates the government as well as Blackbeard.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a tense partnership of some kind with Shanks. Not necessarily an alliance but something more like a real tense "I won't shoot at you if you don't shoot at me" type cease fire agreement.
 
I'm cursed once it comes to anime/manga. I always end up, in those series with a group at the forefront, that I end up liking secondary characters a lot.

Same here, but especially when it comes to most romantic pairings (liking the secondary pairing more than eventual canon pairing). The author often writes it so that there's one person they want the character to be with and then they come up with a secondary girl who they need to make as a plausible alternative. Except when making that alternative they usually seem to make a person who I think is actually better.

Though there seems to be one notable reversal of that trend: Naruto. I figured Kishi was going to push through with the Naruto x Sakura angle no matter what, but it's like he said "eh, feck that shiz" and has gone full Naruto x Hinata (especially noticeable in the current arc). I'm no shipper, but that has made me quite happy considering I've preferred that pairing ever since the chunin exams first aired in the US seven years ago.

I wonder what the circumstances behind his history back in that era Crocodile is probably the same age as Shanks and Mihawk so he must have bee a young up and comer during the time of the Jolly Roger Pirates grand quest, who knows maybe he has a connection to the other Yonkou also what exactly is his connection to Iva one popular theory is that Crocodile used to be a woman and Iva changed his nature

As far as romantic pairings I am somewhat the same. Though I disagree with that analysis of the Naruto one. I personally can't STAND either of the pairings that have been shown. Sakura is too hung up on Sasgay and Hinata can't say more than "Naruto-kun" before almost passing out. Christ, she almost has a heart attack before the Naruto/Neji fight during the Chunin Exams when he runs into her at the training grounds.


Considering it looks like Kishi is going to have Shikamaru and Temari end up together at the end or whatever I think Naruto should go with Ino. Seems like she would be more entertaining plus then he can hang out with Chouji and stuff his face with BBQ constantly.
Ino also doesn't have a 5-head and is always wearing fishnets so she is probably kinkier.

Crocodile is the ONLY one of the big time pirates that you DON'T see at the execution of Roger if I remember right. In what everyone figured would be his spot was the back of what looked like a woman's head.

Yup that's what started that theory that Nd crocodile unwilling to mess with Iva because she/he knows his weakness

Ditto. He's EASILY my favorite villain of all time and one of the most enigmatic characters in my opinion. I'm really interested to know about his past since it's been heavily implied he used to be like Luffy until something changed him not to mention the whole thing with Ivankov and the Revolutionaries.

No he was there, you just see him from the back head angle.

Do NOT get me started on this or I will go more Medieval on your ass than Marcellus Wallace on Billy Boy! Besides the picture of the Warlords as children pretty much should have jossed that one.

The thing that interests me most about characters like Crocodile and Smoker is this... they're Devil Fruits make it so physical attacks basically don't work... how did they get the scars. I want to know what it was they were involved in that got them those crazy facial and body scars.

What makes me interested is what made him decide to start that company of his and then try to take over different governments.

Smoker I don't know, but Crocodile fought with Whitebeard back in the day so it was either the arm or the face. What I find fascinating is just how damned smart he is. He LITERALLY had a backup for his backup plans and planned everything so incredibly well it was refreshing to see not to mention how no nonsense his fighting style is no screwing around, just kill shot. If not for Robin interfering the first time and sheer luck the second, he WOULD have killed Luffy.

Kind of surprised you've never seen it.

The original is in BW, but I figured screw it, this one was VERY well colored.

For sure.

He was absolutely "blasting" people escaping from Impel Down and at Marineford.

Early Hinata could certainly be frustrating, but her portrayal has been a lot stronger post-confession/near death experience. Also I think the anime spends more time dwelling on that super-shy reaction than the manga does (thanks in large part to the huge amount of filler).

I find it curious too, also its a big decision to be a DF user yes there is a power up but you also make yourself vulnerable to the Sea and the Oceans of the OP world are massive and treacherous to me its the type of decision that one weighs heavily on before doing so, unless you're Luffy

She still kinda did it the last time we saw her pre revival of the Hokages by Oro and Sasgay. Certainly getting more forceful as well since Neji's death.

There may be dem titties but I am partial to Ino due to 3 things:
-Blonde
-Wearing fishnets
-She has iris and pupils normally
 
For sure.

People were really surprised about since they were all, "Oh he lost to pre-gears Luffy, so he's nothing, blah, blah" then he goes in and starts fighting with pretty much everyone he sees. I REALLY hate that line of thinking.

On the subject of Hinata and Naruto I do prefer that one over Sakura. To me I've always got more of the dysfunctional sibling vibe even if Naruto was crushing on her. With Hinata and Naruto its a case of someone (naruto) being oblivious to something with more potential while Hinata was just too shy

He only lost to Luffy because Luffy was covered in his own blood and thus was able to hit him.

That's the fucking dragon ball z power level way of thinking I like that OP hasn't fallen victim to that yes the straw hats are much stronger than they were many chapters ago but they can still be defeated if they are not prepared and on the Subject of Crocodile his experience and abilities would make him a threat to anyone, and with DFs its a crap shoot, Magellan by himself almost eliminated Black Beard and his men but Mr 3's ability on is own was holding up very well against him

Same here. That it hasn't fallen into that keeps the series fresh for me and I agree with the Mr. 3 thing. Him being the only one able to block Magellan with his wax power and another good one was Foxy who in spite of being FAAAR weaker than Enel, gave Luffy a much harder fight due to the clever application of his DF and Enel himself also counts since even though he lost to Luffy, it doesn't change the fact that he has a ridiculously powerful ability that would put him over damn near anyone seen so far in OP universe.
