Crocodile's techniques are actually named in Italian, Spanish AND French. Spada means sword in Italian, while Girasole means Sunflower in Italian. Secco means Dry in Italian. Sables means Sand in French and it's pronounced "suh-bleh". Barján means Barchan in Spanish, which is an unusual word to define a crescent-shaped dune, and the pronunciation is somewhat similar. Encierro means Prison in Spanish, you can pronounce it "En-si-eh-ro". Pesado means Heavy in Spanish. La Spada is still Italian, "La" is merely the feminine article, like the English "The" (in Latin languages, object names can be masculine or feminine). Grande Espada means Large Sword in Spanish (and the "E" at the end of "Grande" must be pronounced, "Grun-deh Espada"). Fun fact: "Grande" has the same meaning in Italian and French also. A fun thing is that in the English translations they translated "Deseruto" in Desert because that's how you pronounce it in Japanese, but actually Deserto is the Italian word for Desert. So Desert Spada should actually be Deserto Spada, meaning Desert Sword, even if it wouldn't be the right way to say that, because Desert Sword would become "Spada del Deserto" in Italian ("del" means "of the", so Sword of the Desert which is painfully ugly to pronounce in English so stick with Desert Sword). I am Italian and I know a bit of my neighbour countries' languages and Crocodile is my favorite One Piece villain and one of my favorite characters in general. I hope this helped.
@@approve9469 and the guy was making a reference and a joke, though Hope this helps look up the sandman Metallica has Entet the Sandman song and its ability is based off of sleep saying, "the sandman" (kinda like a fairytale, a pixy) all it needs to do is sprinkle some "sand" at your face and poof, you're a sleep The fairly OddParents (Nick) there's a whole episode based off of The Sandman
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating... and it gets everywhere. Another way to look at it is that Crocodile was naturally gifted in Observation rather than Armament or Conqueror's Haki.
Ya but crocodile would never be under some one. Also I feel like crocodile would've fit so well in whole cake island and the whole vibe, also I think in the new world croc is definitely commander level
I think a case could be made for Crocodile being awakened during Alabasta. The Boogie Powder was needed to frame the royal family more than actually cause the drought. In fact, notice how it started raining as soon as Luffy knocked Crocodile the f*ck out. He might've been prolonging the drought with his own power the whole time. Until he got Sugar'd.
He certainly could have contributed to the rain not falling there. I would imagine that he wouldn't want it to rain while the battle is going on. He worked too hard for too long on his plan for it to fail because the weather decided to rain on his parade. (crickets chirp in the background) Everyone's a critic.
If you don’t explode from having two devil fruits then maybe? It depends on how hot the fire is. Just a normal campfire gets nowhere near hot enough to make glass
Holy fuck, that's actually a good idea Black beard managed to do it, if that idea can be a thing, there's a ton of possibilities to create over powered shit Like hana hana no mi + hobi hobi no mi
Connor Doyle I mean why would you wanna turn yourself into glass since you’re using a combination of devil fruits to turn into glass and not actually having a glass devil fruit your body would literally just be a glass statue waiting to be broken
Hey tekking fun fact if there is a devil fruit that’s a metal logia (think can control and produce any natural metal) they could make things that would be able to withstand akainu’s magma since magma temp ranges from 1300-2400 Fahrenheit and some metals can withstand 2500+ degrees. I’m writing a fan fact with a main character with a metal logia fruit and I was surprised when I learned this doing my back ground research
Sandals are even worse because as we saw when luffys sandals dried up and turned to sand because they were made from some straw. It would happened to rays sandals too lmao
A fun little hack you can do with pocket sand is put a little bit chili powder in there it makes it more effective in defense and as a bonus you can sprinkle a little bit and fit onto it like a pizza or whatever get a bit of spice.
Turning metal or the stone ground into sand sounds more like a form of awakening to me and not like a technique like the sand slicing thing. Makes sense to me if he trained that much that he has a refined version of awakening as well.
Slayer666th maybe he was just on the verge of awakening? Like he didn’t fully know what awakenings were so he only had a few steps left, but he started easing up on the training in Alabasta cus it was a dessert.
That sucks for crocodile. Because now pretty much damaging his opponents makes him more like to lose. As long as their covered in blood any decent fighter without haki is a threat to him
@@FryedPidgey assuming Crocodile needs to get close to his opponents...which he really doesn't need to do. The man is a walking sandstorm, he could grind most fighters to bloody meat and they'd never get within touching range.
Shadrach Wilson the reason why they would’ve died is because they would’ve tried eating the devil fruit.... also not all Yomi Yomi users become skeletons. If you died with Yomi Yomi and your soul found you instantly you’d essentially look the same...
@Comissar Purity I can explain something he didn't; croc can cut the lava because sand can be used to starve fires from getting oxygen to burn meaning sand is actually equal to fire since turning to glass depend on the content of sand :() meaning water is his only known weakneess
Crocodile is so underrated as a character to me I believe whats make him so special to me is that there no talking or flashbacks when fighting him 😂 if u try to talk to someone else hes going to hit you in your face. Hes a menace and make him the best villain ever made in my opinion
Loved the scene where Crocodile 🐊 TOTALLY owned Luffy in their first fight , at that point I knew it was off to the races for the series as a whole , absolute great character
Yes this entire comment is just the lyrics to Mr. Sandman. Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung) Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung) Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung) Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over Sandman, I'm so alone (bung, bung, bung, bung) Don't have nobody to call my own (bung, bung, bung, bung) Please turn on your magic beam Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream Make him the cutest that I've ever seen Give him the word that I'm not a rover Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over Sandman, I'm so alone Don't have nobody to call my own Please turn on your magic beam Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream Mr. Sandman (yes) bring us a dream Give him a pair of eyes with a "come-hither" gleam Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci And lots of wavy hair like Liberace Mr Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold) Would be so peachy before we're too old So please turn on your magic beam Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please Mr Sandman, bring us a dream
@@SethphirothRules1 ayyyy i see what you did there cause an episode of spongebob where (someone i don't Remember who) builds a Computer out of Sand well, that's what popped in my head
Wow great timing for a Croco video. My friend that has never liked anime really, has gone on an anime binge. He just finished HxH last week, and he was asking for suggestions. And I was like “you know what I’m going to tell you to watch”, he said “no what?”. “One Piece, if you like HxH you need to watch One Piece.” He said “But it’s so long to catch up”, I said, “Trust me”. He’s now almost done with Alabasta in a week, so this is the best time for a video in one of the best villains in OP.
Crocodile vs Enel because Croco-boy wanted to be the villain with an ancient weapon. Enel would get cocky and blast him into Glass then turns to monologue.He finishes monologue then freezes when he hears Crocodile exhale. Croco-boy breaks free almost like in Doffy vs Aokiji. Lights new Cigar "Ever been to Raijin island?"
I can't wait for his return and to know more of his past!! Also, he has one of my favorite powers!! He trained his DF so well, sometimes it generates sparks due the friction. My favorite move is Sables Pesado! I think he was awakened because, only after he was unconscious, it is when it starts raining again.
I've theorized that crocodile didn't have haki because his pain tolerance is too high. Remember most people unlock haki through trauma. And crocodile is the same guy who treated the impeldown boiling blood bath in impeldown like a warm bath. Might also be why he decided to stay in impeldown, he was probably hoping he'd get hurt to the point of unlocking haki
I wonder if crocodile could do something similar to byakuya's Bankai with each piece of sand moving so fast that it could be considered a blade or bullet.
About the awakening i think he has an awakened fruit as he told to luffy that there is more to devil fruits than meets the eye and said that he has mastered his fruit. Also i think he used awakening in alabasta when he turned the palace area to sand just by touching the ground and without weathering it with sand first. Doflamingo saif thatawakened fruits affect the surroundings and i think that exactly what crocodile did there
Katakuri was badass Doffy is what a anime villain should be Akainu is full with hatred Blackbeard is a powerhouse and the most evil of them all Kaido is basically god Big Mom is basically Goddess Crocodile is a mastermind with his operation utopia, also, enter sandman. (Funny haha laugh)
He had haki in alabasta Watch the move named desert la spada where he forms sand blades and coats them with haki. Also when luffy hits him with blood he is surprised and asks how he did it. Luffy tells him the reason and he is relieved as he thought that luffy knew how to use haki
Telling you right now, at the end of one piece Smoker gona be the fleet admiral. I never do this but pls like this so tekking can see i wanna hear his oppinion at lest here in the comment section. THX
Maybe he was invoking his awakening during alabasta but just purposefully made it impermanent because he wanted to rule the country and even a sandman needs water sometimes. Yes his main goal was to get the ancient weapon but he also seemed to want to actually take over the country too as a secondary goal. Maybe awakened logias can control the weather but the only times that becomes permanent are when they are high stress like punk hazard had 2 admirals all out fighting that couldnt waste the brain power on worrying about the weather
there exist a way to make metal parts called sintering, the raw material looks like sand, not regular sand but little metal particles. those particles can be baket together with high pressure and high temperatures to different things like knifes, a litle bit similar how crocodile did it with his knife technique. :)
But it's not like Crocodile needed Haki to defeat Luffy. He has his hook and most of his attacks are already the slicing type. Why'd he need Haki if he can already hurt Luffy without it?
11:05 right Kimimaro is like “that’s the last time you’ll catch me with that sand” and Gaara plants his feet, slams his hands together and throws it into high gear 😆😆😆 music kicks and the terrain starts changing, hype every time I watch it
can we get a Luffy versus warlords discussion? i think luffy right now could beat most of the warlords, the ones i mean are mihawk, weivel and kuma at full power. just imagine it, gear 4 boundman luffy, going up against mihawk, i think luffy would get the shit beaten out of him but it would be a good fight, just a nice idea i had and wanted to share with an amazing youtuber like you tekking
@@beastthemonster3675 that is heavily debatable, weivel has insane strength and endurance, especially if he really is whitebeard's son even if luffy gets a king kong gun i don't think that would knock him out, and for kuma, he has a pretty good shot if he was really able to just take away his fatigue like he did to luffy, or even better take his fatigue and give it to luffy if he just throws it at him and it connects.
@@strawboyhawkins3 i just replied to someone saying this, kuma and weevil both have things that could pressure luffy, just look at the other comment. i am NOT saying i 100% think luffy would lose, i am just saying they both have a decent chance to beat him and that is all
@@maybedemon7612 luffy is trying to fight yonko now. That itself defines his strength. We haven't seen anything from weevil extraordinary as far as i remember. Luffy's haki is way too strong for war lords if you ask me(except doflamingo)
I believe Crocodile can only draw out moisture with his right hand because he doesn't have a left hand anymore :P I don't think it's a limitation of his devil fruit, he can probably do it with any part of his body if he wants to.
crocodile also was recruited very early in his career and hung out in the earliest part of the Grand Line. i figured he was laying low and just didn't run into anybody who had haki that would wanna fight him so he may have legit just been coasting on his df abilities and never needed anything else cause he didn't go deeper into after Whitebeard beat his ass and he became a warlord.
(around 25:03) Yes is is true that the sand "should" turn directly into glass vs Akaino'a naturally high heat. Depending on the compression forced on the sand (forming into glass) they could still retain quite a bit of strength. (I present the phenomena of "Prince Rupert's drop".)
Crocidle: I am the master of sand. Me: Okey, sounds kind of weak. Crocidle: What? I'm intangible and dehidrate you. Me: bud your weakness is water, in a world of WATER!.
My favorite attack is his Sables Pesado (heavy sandstorm) its described as an extremely dense sandstorm that causes a shockwave upon impact. It just looks really cool.
It would be amazing to see that, but first he would need to find a way to watch Naruto first. It seems that except in the crossover's and a few fanfictions, the different worlds of manga do not mix very much.
@@lucidbizzare8419 Maybe I am, but in my experience, crossovers can be a tricky business. Probably due to the different rules governing different parts of imagination. Still, if you want to see a crossover then you could always try the Five World's fanfiction series. Fair warning, Naruto and One Piece are not the only two manga featured there. As noted, it is composed of five worlds four of which are some of the more popular manga. In my experience, there are very few who like all four of these ones with the author and myself along with my friends being rare exceptions.
I think the reason he specified he could use specifically his right hand to wring out their moisture may be because his left hand is a hook so he couldn't use his left hand for that
Crocodile really was in his elelment in Alabasta. Makes me wonder if other Logia users were to set up base in areas suited to their element it would give them a boost? Eneru in Skypiea makes a lot more sense now...
Oh yes a video about the former king of alabasta! Such a amazing Devilfruit! But I wonder if will see him again at the end of Wano! If not he will be back
26:35 going back to you logia weakness vid. The glass fruit could be Crocodile’s. He could have a technique similar to grand espada but moves so fast it turns into glass and is slicing his enemies with a glass blade(its manga and its one piece, Oda can make it work)
