One Piece Episode 430

[Sentenal]

Arlong never hurt any of his Fishmen minions, only Nami, who he considered a "sub-human" (lol you get the idea) slave. Luffy would hate Arlong much more than Crocodile, simply because the suffering Arlong inflicted on Nami was greater than what Crododile did to Vivi. Thats not to say he would forgive Crocodile, but its obvious he would hate Arlong more.

Speaking of Arlong, Jinbei and Arlong used to be in the same crew, before it split, and Arlong was said to be Jinbei's equal or something. If Luffy does get down there to where Crocodile/Ace/Jinbei are, seeing what goes down between those two will be interesting too.

I honestly don't think Luffy's reaction to Crocodile is going to be any different that it was to Buggy or Mr. 3.

Once he beats someone up, Luffy really doesn't seem to give a crap about that person anymore.

Nami was still technically a part of Arlong's crew. Nobody sane would say Hitler didn't hurt the jews (only the Iranian president does, but he's not sane), and those jews were his subjects just like every other citizen of the Third Reich. But he considered them sub-human. Justifies zilch.

But still, FireEmblem could be right. I just don't think freeing Crocodile would be wise because while the man could cause some distraction breaking free, it's still guaranteed he would do nothing at all to actually help Luffy or Ace, yet the contrary would be assured if he saw a chance. That should be true for Mr. 3 as well, actually, but in the end it wasn't Luffy personally who turned him in. So, Mr. 3 should just blame himself.

If you read the Miss Goldenweek mini-story, you might get a slightly different perspective.

Man, why the hell don't they TELL THOSE STORIES in the anime! Those things have got to be 10x better than filler!

Also, lol at Crocodileand Mr. 1 not feeling like leaving. And Mr. 1 wishing he was a superhero.

Slaves aren't considered citizens, so I think thats alot different. Slavery strips citizenship, if anything. Anyway, off topic stuff, and doesn't matter. I'm looking forward to more Crocodile, since hes my favorite villain in One Piece.

I think you forget I'm talking about Luffy's reasons. His perspective. Arlong himself hardly considered Nami an equal crew member compared to his fishman buddies but from an outside observer's pov Nami was a thief and a cartographer working for him. She even had that tattoo.
