When he gets defeated, he doesn't wallow in self-pity, he looks inside himself and improves no matter the loss. I can respect that kind of hustle, and I look forward to him allying with Luffy again one day. And yes, Mihawk and Crocodile might make a separate pact with the Straw Hats to stay out of each other's way, and may even ally against Blackbeard.

He literally underestimated an unkillable guy that happened to find out his actual logia weakness and died three times trying to beat him without haki, eventually even succeeding.

Also haki isn't a magical power, it's literally willpower and ambition. The word translates to that. We see this with several characters, when they settle down and become comfortable being big fish in small ponds, like he did settling in paradise and arlong in east blue, they become weaker. He just needed to find his mojo again.

Perhaps' Crocodile's Haki was negligible as he already was in a league above Luffy during Alabasta. Him using Armament Haki wouldn't have made much of a difference as Luffy was already taking considerable damage from most of Croc's attacks, and he was consistently losing his cool which could explain his Observation being off. I'm certain he became stronger after breaking out Impel Down, and even though it may be headcannon, in-universe I think that this idea explains why Croc's Haki wasn't seen in retrospect.

I’ll always tell my friends that he should’ve been introduced into the series later on.

Idk man, Crocodile beat Luffy multiple times. Luffy was retired many times. Just kept getting resurrected until he beat Crocodile. The bounty is a big mess but did he really "improve?"

Ok, but there is still a HUGE plot hole between alabasta crocodile and marineford crocodile. I mean, bro spent his time in prison AFTER getting beaten by pre gear Luffy and then was able to trade hits with Mihawk, crocodile and Akainu? Oda clearly wasn't done with power scales until there...

Haki is literally willpower. And it get's rubbed in our faces again and again that Haki trumps Devil Fruits and is the ultimate power in One Piece. I am 100% convinced that Crocodile and Moria both had high level armament and observation haki at one point in their career. Then they got their asses beat by Whitebeard and Kaido, lost their will and consequently lost their ability to use any haki in battle. I am pretty sure if we ever see Crocodile really in action against tough opponents again, he will display haki again.

He always had that underarm boom. 😂 It's stronger than haki since it doesn't discriminate like boa's DF, but luffy doesn't bothered, so he won against crocodile. It's like 20 years since crocodile manipulated the weather in albasta, so that he won't be soaked in water, that's why. 🤣

Even just him being one of the top 3 members of Cross Guild, a new organization that issues bounties on Marines, is enough to skyrocket his bounty. And also we don't know what his bounty was right after Marineford, him getting to 300 million or so wouldn't be unreasonable right after Marineford.

It essentially breaks down to plot Armour. But in the show. They call it fate. How many times has Luffy technically died. Or should have. Like 8x?

Also to add, Crocodile is a 'mastermind' archetype, and likely was honing these aspects of himself while at Alabasta. He developed multiple profitable businesses, both front-facing in his casino and behind the scenes with Baroque Works. He worked as a Warlord, defeating pirates and building a positive reputation with the citizens of Alabasta as part of his plan. He kept his identify of Mr 0 a closely guarded secret for years. He had an intricate plan to manipulate the country into civil war, and to take out his own allies as they carried out his plans (such as his snipers guarding the bomb). All of this (and likely trauma from his loss against Whitebeard affecting just haki) may have caused him to stagnate in other aspects of his development to cause his loss against Luffy.

My explanation is more simple, Crocodile always was that strong but when he fought he has been focusing most of his power to stop in Alabasta's rains for several months, he didn't cause the droughts with the rain powder (it was only used to incriminate King Cobra) but with his own power, for that reason it began to rain just after Luffy knocked him out. For that reason he was sent to the lowest level of Impel Down and could fight at Marineford with ease, he had his full power back.

So basically after Having his ass kicked by Luffy, he realized that the easy life is not the right way, so in a sense, Luffy knocked some sense into crocodile. Also, I think a lot of people don’t understand where a frozen bounty comes into play. A frozen bounty is exactly what it sounds like; someone who has a bounty on their head, but the bounty is frozen and therefore cannot increase or decrease. Crocodiles bounty was frozen when he became a war lord because he became a government sanctioned pirate, But after the warlord system was abolished during the reverie, every single warlord gained a super high increase in their bounties. That’s why crocodile got a bounty of almost 2,000,000,000, Hancock got a bounty of almost 1.7 billion, Mihawk got a bounty of almost 3.6 billion and so on. Even though bounties are less about actual strength and more about the reputation of a person, hence why Jimbei Has a bounty of 1.1 billion post Wano Even though it should be higher considering he is a former warlord Whose former captain is the one who broke into the land of the gods to free slaves, and why Franky needs a higher bounty because he has the blueprints for the ancient weapon pluton memorized, The warlords are by no means weak when you have the man who almost successfully took control of an entire country and a man who holds the title of world strongest swordsman, But the fact that they are former warlords contributes heavily to their bounty increases because they were a notorious pirate that the world government willfully looked the other way and did not charge crimes for. Think about it like a Real life military using a mercenary group that was previously committing war crimes, but the military in question decides to look the other way so long as the mercenary group listens to them, but now since they have no need for The mercenaries, that group is now getting charged with those war crimes.
