It doesn't matter how strong or fast Luffy is, he can't touch Crocodile without some kind of liquid. So he would still present a problem. He took Enel down easily. If he hadn't melted that golden ball to Luffy's arm and knocked him off the Maxim, he would have defeated him there.

RE: Crocodile
Crocodile had perfected his Devil Powers. He just didn't use them. I mean, he had the advantage of taking the falling rocks as confusion so Luffy would be guessing on where he would be next. If Crocodile didn't rely on his hook the whole time, he would have seen many openings on Luffy. When he dodged one of Luffy's attacks, he could've engulfed him in sand or shot sand daggers or have sandstorms all over. Anyway, what's done is done. Maybe, if he comes back, he will have learned some new fighting styles.

RE: Ener, Kuro, Arlong, Kreig, Croc?
Well, whatever happens, Croc doesn't seem to be worried in the least.

RE: Crocodile
To tell the truth, I wish Crocodile fought back nore in the fight underground. All he did was dodge and swing his hook around. He could have been dissolving into sand all over the place so Luffy couldn't hit him. He wasn't very creative. I'm not saying anything bad about the fight, it's one of my favorite parts, but if Croc actually USED his ability he could have beaten Luffy for the 3rd time.

RE: Ener, Kuro, Arlong, Kreig, Croc?
I'm just saying, a former Shichibukai member with any weapon sounds dangerous. Anyway, I think he has plans.

RE: Ener, Kuro, Arlong, Kreig, Croc?
I think Croc has a VERY good chance of coming back in later chapters. We have seen how smart he is. Also, on a slightly different off note. WHY IN THE WORLD DID THEY LET CROC KEEP HIS HOOK?? YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD REMOVE ALL DANGEROUS WEAPONS FROM PIRATES, ESPECIALLY ONE OF THE SHICHIBUKAI! Plus, Croc has the most impressive fighting record with Luffy. 2 out of 3 battles were his.

RE: Chapter 432 "Jack in the Box" Discussion
Has to be. Coby is about 2X his size, and Helmeppo is a head taller, both of them are MUCH stronger than before. That much time COULDN'T have passed.

RE: Untitled
Well, I guess I'll put one of mine up. I was at church, holding an egg. It fell out of my hands and went under the pews. I got down and crawled under them to get it. At that moment, all the people in the church started stomping on me. I couldn't get out and couldn't breathe. Then I woke up, nearly jumping out of my bed. I found out that my head was under my pillow.

RE: Future villains - might be too strong?
This series sure has come a long way showing some stuff that people never thought of. One Piece is one of the most creative and innovative animes out there. So I do believe that they will continue their tradition of different types of fights. From what I've seen, Luffy has been stronger than many characters he has faced.
Buggy(DF User)-1st time fight with another Devil Fruit user
Kuro(speed)-Was physically stronger, but had to hit him
Don Krieg(shield)-Seemed like he was stronger than him too, just had to get past his armor
Arlong(power & different attacks)-Luffy had to adapt to this new type of enemy
Sir Crocodile(evrything he faced before, but fine tuned)-Luffy had to use brain before brawn but was physically stronger–-Also 1st & 2nd time to lose total of 3 battles Croc=2/3 Luffy=1/3 wins
Enel(speed, Mantra, weapon forgery)-This seemed like an easy battle for Luffy, if Enel hadn't melted a giant hot ball of gold to his hand and thrown him of the ship, he wouldv'e ended it right there---Physically stronger
Admiral Aokiji(total power)-Luffy got his butt kicked, but learned a valuable lesson, this encourages him to become stronger Rob Lucci(1st time stronger, 2nd time evens out)-This forces Luffy to the brink of ALL his techniques and strengthSo, right now, I don't think they'll go into anything very heavy. So for right now, probably enemies that fight in other ways than strength. -
