Ohhh boy, if you want the break to go by fast, I'd create a battledome thread explaining why you think Croc is stronger. Veku, Plex, Conquistador, etc... gonna be all over you
Just imagining Doffy trying to clash with Mihawk like Croc did makes me laugh. Like, Croc stalled Akainu, Doflamingo ran from Aokiji.
Doffy's strings couldn't block Kyros, and Doffy didn't want anything to do with Kyros, when Croc STOPPED MIHAWK FROM KILLING HIS SUBORDINATE.
Doffy's strings go through Croc's sand, and Doffy isn't a Logia, so he can't easily avoid Croc's logia attacks (what's he going to do? Cut the sand with string? Yawn).
Crocodile built an entire organization that almost took over a kindgdom that had existed for over a thousand years, and TRAVELLED TO MARINEFORD JUST SO HE COULD GET ANOTHER SHOT AT KILLING WHITEBEARD. Doflamingo peed his pants whenever Kaido got angry.
Doffy only wins with help/water, there's a reason Crocodile scoffed when Doflamingo asked him to be his subordinate.
Only place Doffy beats Croc is Haki, and we haven't even see Croc fight in the time Doffy got mollywhopped by pre Adv-CoA and Adv-CoC Gear 4.
Crazy that Jinbei is stronger than both, and the only one out of the three to successfully mess with Yonkou and get away with it.
