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.

Why are there so few written records from early Polynesians/Maoris?

 There are relatively few written records from early Polynesians and Maoris for a number of reasons. One reason is that the Polynesians and Maoris, like many other indigenous cultures around the world, traditionally relied on oral traditions and storytelling to transmit knowledge and cultural practices from one generation to the next. As a result, much of their history and culture was passed down through oral traditions, rather than being recorded in written form.


Another reason why there are few written records from early Polynesians and Maoris is that the Polynesian and Maori societies did not have a system of written language. The Polynesians and Maoris developed complex systems of communication and record-keeping, including the use of symbols and images, but they did not have a system of written language similar to those used in Europe and other parts of the world.


A third reason is that many of the written records that were created by Europeans during the period of European colonization of the Pacific region were lost, destroyed, or not widely distributed. Some of the records that were created by Europeans during this period were biased or incomplete, and they may not accurately reflect the histories and cultures of the Polynesians and Maoris.


Overall, the reasons why there are few written records from early Polynesians and Maoris include the reliance on oral traditions, the absence of a system of written language, and the loss or destruction of records created by Europeans.
