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.

What is the history of Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Sweden's independence from Norway?

 Denmark, Iceland, Finland, and Sweden have a long and complex history that includes periods of independence and periods of union with Norway. Here is a brief overview of their independence from Norway:


Denmark: Denmark has a long history of independence, dating back to the Viking Age in the 9th century. It was a powerful kingdom in its own right and was never formally a part of Norway. However, Denmark and Norway were part of a personal union from 1397 to 1523, during which time the two countries were ruled by the same monarch. Denmark and Norway later entered into a political union in 1814, but this union was dissolved in 1905, and Denmark has been an independent country since then.


Iceland: Iceland was settled by Vikings from Norway in the 9th century and was a part of the Kingdom of Norway for much of its early history. However, in 1262, Iceland came under the control of the King of Denmark, and it remained a part of the Danish realm until 1918, when it gained independence as a sovereign state.


Finland: Finland has a long and complex history that includes periods of independence and periods of union with neighboring countries. It was a part of Sweden from the 13th century until the early 20th century, when it gained independence following the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917. Finland was never a part of Norway.


Sweden: Sweden has a long history of independence, dating back to the Viking Age in the 9th century. It was a powerful kingdom in its own right and was never formally a part of Norway. However, Sweden and Norway were part of a personal union from 1397 to 1523, during which time the two countries were ruled by the same monarch. Sweden and Norway later entered into a political union in 1814, but this union was dissolved in 1905, and Sweden has been an independent country since then.


Overall, while Denmark, Iceland, Finland, and Sweden have had complex histories that have included periods of union with Norway, they have all had long periods of independence as well and are now sovereign nations in their own right.
