Crocodile's newfound strength at Marineford

[Future Warrior]

Rayleigh - "'The act of not doubting'. That is power!", "it's the embodiment of the spirit of the user !"





Is this good enough reasoning?

 

[SSJ2]

It's the best explanation we'll get. We saw when Crocodile was in prison that he dreamed of being the Pirate King, so I guess it could make sense that his overall Haki level decreased dramatically after years of believing his dream was over.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Yes. Their power depends on Genki, Shōki and Yūki. Sir Crocodile wasn’t in his right Shōki.

The reasoning is but unlike in Bleach or something at least it actually exists lol
