It's really mind blowing how many people believe Crocodile started Cross Guild without already having at least 6-7 Commanders waiting to be Summoned lol They believe his Plan was to declare War on Marine HQ, announce his Cross Guild, ally with Underworld, and only after all this, He starts to look for Strong Fighters lol
Crocodile already had his own Version of Top Officers & multiple Flying Six-Like Commanders before Egghead Arc even began, but we won't see them until something happens that forces Crocodile to summon them, just like Top Commanders of Big Mom don't live in Whole Cake Island, They only appeared cuz it was a Wedding, just like Kaidou's Commanders were in Onigashima only cuz They were celebrating, just like Dragon only summoned his Commanders after He decided to initiate his Plan, just like Crocodile called Baroque Works Agents when He decided to start his Utopia Plan (They didn't even know they worked for him) ... etc
Tbh it's a big deal to see OP Readers believe Cross Guild only has Crocodile & Mihawk, this is some serious reading comprehension problem.
If Blackbeard acted with this Logic, He would have declared war on Marines/WG/Yonko first & then start looking for Powerful Commanders in Impel Down lol
