Who Is Crocodile In One Piece. The first time they fought Crocodile almost killed Luffy. Crocodile is the former leader of Baroque Works and was introduced as a Shichibukai during the Alabasta Arc and Saga.
It was actually trial and error. The manga One Piece is filled with some incredible villains ranging from the merciless Navy members to the evilest of pirates. Sir Crocodile is one of the longest running and most noteworthy primary adversaries of the series as he was the first enemy to hand Luffy a complete and utter defeat as well as one of only two who has defeated Luffy more than once.
Crocodile may have been a similar case.
While Doflamingo also did something similar to Dressrosa the level at which Crocodile had planned ahead was truly incredible. I couldnt help but notice a few similarities he shares with the old man. Similarity number one being the eyes. One of the longest lasting villains in One Piece and the first person to utterly defeat Luffy.
