Is Crocodile Stronger Than Luffy. He even mentioned it during Marineford that not many people know his weakness other than a few people. He was the first major force Luffy beat so it can be easy to see him as weaker just cause he was earlier.
Crocodile is pretty damn strong it is just others overshadow him rather easily. Plus Luffy got super lucky. 9 Luffy Fought Crocodile Twice Without Having A Solid Plan.
Crocodile didnt start out as a pirate alongside Luffy their grown isnt the same.
Luffy is definitely stronger than Corcodile who I think is one of the weakest warlords but. I think Crocodile is physically stronger. Crocodile took quite a few hits from base Luffy during their fight and those were a lot stronger than what hell take here. Like a lot stronger.
