Well Kat.. In episode 64 of One Piece, you were talking about the ''Tears Level'' of certain characters.. I know for a fact there is one Arc coming. which will drain you.. Its more emotional then Luffy's Nami's, Zoro's and Sanji's backstory's combined.. and that is just that ONE ARC.. Comes real real real close to RWBY V3.. So Prepair.. Its still far away though, since your just at 111-112 when you read this.

i hope i wrote this in time.
just want to point out crocodile berates Luffy for relying on gimmicks of his devil fruit to be capable. meanwhile if crocodile is compared to the only other warlord we have met Mihawk (or any other warlord as we get to know them for that matter), you will find that crocodile is ENTIRELY dependent on his devil fruit to be any kind of threat. If it weren't for his logia powers i doubt he would have anywhere near the reputation he has, and likely be largely unknown in the world of One Piece (and definitely not a warlord). Compared to Mihawk who has NO devil fruit powers (that we know of) and is undeniably the strongest warlord bar NONE.

Hey hey people. Fun fact of the Week time. Wow, what a cliffhanger. I can't believe Luffy is fuckin' dead! So, about those extra episodes~ lmao. Told you your mental health needed them. But lets forget about Luffy being gone with this week's Fun Fact!

♪ It's the Fun Fact of the Week! ♫
D: Nice to meet you, Oda-sensei. I noticed something when I was re-reading the books. I'm talking about this person on the left in Volume 18, page 162, 2nd panel, and this person on the right in Volume 19, page 15, 5th panel. Are they the same person?
O: Yes. That's right. You're quite correct. If you look at the current "Rebellion", you'll see a lot of members of the "Suna Suna Clan" in it. Well spotted.
It's pretty easy to tell when they're lined up like this, right? Oh, and just to confuse you a little, most of the people in the Rebellion call Koza "Koza-san", but sometimes you hear "Koza" or "Leader". Those people were probably former Suna Suna Clan members.
So there you have it. This is referencing some specific images in the manga, but if you pay attention in the anime, you may just be able to see the same! But lets go over some stuff from the last episodes real quick before we head over to see what the show will be like without Luffy from now on.
The key Crocodile tossed to the bananas being a fake was another example of Crocodile only pretending to leave his enemies a sporting chance, just like when he stopped Vivi from leaving to find help.
On the topic of saving Smoker. You said Zoro did it "Because he's a good man." Zoro isn't necessarily not a good man, but he definitely won't go out of his way to save people he sees as an enemy or threat. Luffy will save an enemy from another enemy's threat, and then fight them himself. That is a major difference between Zoro and Luffy. Either way, Zoro will do what his captain says, so Smoker got out too. And to return the favor, Smoker let them go this time. As Luffy said, "You're not unlikable you know."
Vivi is being faced with the thing that she hates more than anything else. Being told her life matters more than her friends.
Luffy is a great judge of character. He may not be smart, but he is empathetic. He actually agrees with Crocodile that Vivi is too naïve to face the issues Crocodile is causing.
We had the Nico Robin name reveal. She is still mysterious though. You said, "Maybe she is on the run from something?" about her not wanting her real name said. Yeah you are right, she is on the run from the government. The government put the bounty on her 20 years ago as Smoker said a few episodes ago.
How is Crocodile doing on your One Piece villain rankings? Is he past Don Krieg yet? Either way, you gotta admit, having an hourglass on a dart just to put a time limit on fights is pretty badass. And during the fight, we get to see more of how Crocodile loves toying with his prey. He mostly lets Luffy attack him and doesn't take him seriously, trying to demoralize him with words. You can see how much he hates how Luffy doesn't let him act cool and finish his line. The manga shows the joke a little bit better. He keeps trying to say his badass line "You can never defeat me", and Luffy keeps attacking him and cutting him off at "Def", before finally saying' 'Def? What the hell have you been trying to say?" It really pisses Crocodile off.
Also, a fun little fact. Luffy actually learned a move from Wapol. Gum gum munch munch. It didn't work though.
And the episode ends with "There are any number of no name rookies like you Luffy, here in the Grand Line" The absence of sound, only the noise of the sandstorm picking up steam and heading towards Yuba. And with that somber recap, lets hurry to this week's episodes to see what will happen next.

Ok lets start with all of your questions kat.
Note on mr.3 rough translation: see ya later shitty croc. signed mr.prince
end of manga ? nowhere in sight.
gunpowder tea ? is in fact a real thing. Though merely named that because of apperance, not because there is gunpowder in the tea. (although in mr.5 case he may actually make it wth gunpowder.)
And now for some of my own notes.
on the subject of Bananagators and what they are. The japanese name bananawani is a portmanteau of banana and the japanese word ''wani'' which can mean both alligator and crocodile. (apparently there is also a japanese park called bananawani where you can see among other things crocodiles and turtles. isn't that interesting )
So to sum up, the question about bananagators from last week was a trick question, since they are in fact crocodiles not gators. (whether the croc grows from the banana or vice versa is still up for debate.)

I love when a villain gives a reality check to a main character. Helps them getting better in the futur.
Any ideas how Luffy can beat Crocodile ?
Also, nice analysis about Yuba and Job.
