This is the first episode I've noticed where characters (Crocodile, in this case) have the absolute widest necks I have ever seen. This is also the first we've really seen of [spoiler]Luffy not being able to simply punch his way out of a situation.[/spoiler] Croc is still one of my fave bad guys, if not simply for his presentation. What an ending, though!!

“There’s no one luffys gone after that’s gotten away” she says as they continue to run away from smoker who has very similar powers to crocodile. Cool to finally see Luffy face to face with crocodile though. Not as cool to see how easily he got beat. Ok it was kinda cool. Especially when he “died”.
