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.

How have libertarian ideas been received by different societies throughout history?

 Libertarianism is a political ideology that advocates for individual liberty, limited government, and a free market economy. It is based on the belief that individuals have the right to live their lives as they see fit, as long as they do not harm others, and that the role of government should be limited to protecting these rights.


Libertarian ideas have been received differently by different societies throughout history, depending on a variety of factors, including the social, political, and economic conditions of the time and the cultural values and traditions of the society.


In some societies, libertarian ideas have been welcomed and embraced as a means of promoting individual freedom and economic prosperity. In other societies, however, libertarian ideas have been viewed with skepticism or even hostility, as they may be seen as challenging traditional social and political norms or as threatening to established economic and political interests.


Overall, the reception of libertarian ideas has varied significantly throughout history and will continue to evolve as societies change and develop.
