[Thoughtful words from someone who clearly has masterful ambitions. People who upset the balance of power are frightening. Even when it's for a good reason, like he's been assured is the case with Straw Hat, it's hard to accept that the outcome is as positive as the ideals. Uprooting warlords and emperors and kings leaves those places vulnerable while they work to restore what's left after the fighting is over. It's why he chose the Marines and stayed with them until it wasn't possible. They're not perfect, but their stability helps keep people safe. It's what he wanted to be, when he was younger. Someone big and strong who could protect the weak and helpless. The world is a harsh, scary place for someone who struggles daily just to survive.
Whatever Crocodile wants to do with her soon-to-be-royal status, hopefully she just helps to govern the country. He's distrustful of anyone with the wealth and status she has because usually it meant she had to trample others to get to it, but sometimes it can still be used for good.]
Yeah. Can't say I know much about him, though. Where I'm from, nobody really talked about him. Guess that's about to change, though. He's got a lot of influence and it's spreading. Hopefully he doesn't want anything with Alabasta.
