I think he meant : if CROCODILE had been successfull in his takeover of arabasta prior to the straw hats getting there, during the arabasta arc they came and ruin his plans but obviously they weren't present during the takeover of dressrosa, Arabasta would have been in kind of the same situation and state as dressrosa if Crocodile had succed I think.
