User blog comment:Ultimate Law of Kaitlyn/Why I think Crocodile losing to Luffy was a fluke/@comment-5399166-20120610203618

It was a fluke, everything about that fight yells that crocodile failing to hide his arrogance cost him, i think if they fought now Luffy would beat him because he is capable of effectively touching him the entire time, but the whole physical abilities thing, i feel that its another example of there not being a formula to judging just how strong a person in One Piece is. Just because Luffy beat Crocodile didn't mean he could beat Smoker. Just because Smoker beat Lufy didn't mean he could beat Crocodile. That's the thing unless Oda clearly shows who's stronger theres not really a way of telling, unless its clear. The only thing people can base there arguments on is feats and even when a certain character has great feats sometimes when they challenge another character there feats don't match there performance.
