Was Crocodile stronger at Marineford? Or was he holding back in Alabasta?

 During the Alabasta arc, Crocodile displayed a level of power that was initially considered overwhelming by the Straw Hat Pirates. He possessed the Logia-type Devil Fruit called the Suna Suna no Mi (Sand-Sand Fruit), which granted him the ability to control and transform into sand. He had a reputation as a Shichibukai and controlled the desert kingdom of Alabasta from the shadows. His strength was showcased through his battles with Luffy and others. At Marineford, Crocodile was present as part of the war that took place at Marine Headquarters. While he did participate in the battle, he didn't display the same level of dominance as some other powerful characters present. This has led fans to speculate that he might not have been as strong as initially portrayed in Alabasta. It's important to note that power scaling and character abilities can be subject to interpretation and development by the author. Oda often keeps details deliberately open-ended to keep the story intriguing.

Did the U.S. Army issue any cigarette packs during World War II or the Korean War?

 Yes, the U.S. Army issued cigarette packs to soldiers during World War II and the Korean War as part of their field rations. Cigarette packs were included in the C-ration and K-ration field rations, which were designed to provide soldiers with a balanced diet and basic sustenance during combat operations.


Cigarette packs were included in these field rations because they were believed to provide a number of benefits to soldiers. They were seen as a way to boost morale and provide a source of relaxation and stress relief in the often-stressful and chaotic environment of combat. In addition, cigarettes were believed to have a number of practical uses, such as helping to preserve food and providing a means of bartering with civilians.


However, the inclusion of cigarette packs in military rations has been controversial, as smoking has been linked to a number of health problems, including cancer and heart disease. The U.S. military has since stopped issuing cigarette packs as part of its field rations and has implemented a number of policies to promote the health and well-being of its soldiers.
