Crocodile in the fandom is just being female gender debated and nothing more. Nobody actually expects anything big out of him for EoS considering he's an old past opponent who lost once.
Sometimes, he gets slandered for getting high diffed by pre TS pre gear no haki Luffy.
Other times, he gets wanked for his Marineford showings + current bounty.
He is too cool for much hate
But Mihawk? this man's
ENTIRE existence is just to be slandered non-stop 24/7
-fraudhawk
-postponement
-black paint blade
-fake title
-vista
-shanks hakiman
-YC level
-subordinate
etc etc... I could go on and on, but you get the point.
There's no saving this man in the fandom's eyes anymore. At least until Loda starts showing legit feats against top tiers, otherwise,
its over.
