Despite that, however, Luffy managed to earn Sentomaru's respect for his bravery and tenacity. Even though Sentomaru wants to catch Luffy, just like any other Marine , he respects him enough to have certain expectations of him, as seen when he struck Demaro Black and claimed that he was an insult to the name of Straw Hat Luffy. Luffy and his crew arrived on Punk Hazard with sheer luck, and the G-5 unit of the Marines followed them there. Although they treated Luffy like any other pirate at the beginning of the arc, they slowly grew to like the entire crew by the end.
In fact, the group shed tears just because they found it impossible to hate Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates even though they were on the opposing ends of the battlefield. Tashigi is one of the very few Marines who have constantly been chasing Luffy throughout his journey. Although she's following her own sense of justice in wanting to arrest them, this hasn't stopped her from helping them out on various occasions.
In Alabasta, Tashigi showed Luffy the way to Crocodile even though he was an enemy. Furthermore, she refused to arrest the crew when they had their guard down after the battle. In Punk Hazard, Tashigi showed gratitude to the crew for saving the kids and even went as far as defending the Straw Hats in front of the other Marines. Undoubtedly, her love and respect for the crew are ever-growing.
Although Smoker hated the boy at first, he's slowly grown to admire him. During the Alabasta arc, Smoker was saved by Zoro on Luffy's orders. In Punk Hazard, the two worked together to defeat the enemies and, once again, grew even closer. Luffy already views Smoker more like a friend even though the Vice-Admiral wants to apprehend him one day, and Smoker certainly has a certain degree of respect for Luffy, even when he tries his best to hide it.
Luffy and Fujitora crossed paths in One Piece's Dressrosa arc. Even when Fujitora was posing as an old gambler, he could tell Luffy was a kind person. Smoker simply stated that he could not let a pirate such as Ace go so easily, but when Luffy showed up, the Marine captain started prioritizing the Straw Hat while ignoring the Whitebeard pirate. Smoker clashed with Ace when the latter stood in his way in order to protect Luffy, with Smoker cursing Luffy's brother for interfering on his chase.
Smoker only met the Revolutionary Army leader, Monkey D. Dragon , once, during the Loguetown Arc. However, the revolutionary's sudden appearance left a lasting impression on Smoker's mind, since the Marine could not fathom why someone like Dragon would assist Luffy in escaping his clutches, which contributed to Smoker's desire to venture into the Grand Line after the Straw Hat Pirates.
Smoker would eventually learn about the connection between Dragon and Luffy during the Summit War of Marineford , finally getting an answer to the events of that day.
Smoker is known to hate the Seven Warlords of the Sea , viewing them as nothing more than pirates, and thus not worth trusting. Smoker involved himself in Warlord-related schemes at least twice, and has confronted several of them either because he meddled into their affairs or attacked someone they cared about.
Smoker indirectly contributed to the dissolution of the Warlord system when he told admiral Fujitora about the Arabasta incident , inspiring the admiral to elaborate a plan of his own to let the world witness the chaos the Warlords were creating.
Later on, Crocodile stumbled into a badly wounded Tashigi and mocked the fact Smoker was not around to help her, thinking he had fled Arabasta. Hancock considers Smoker a personal enemy after he pinned down and attempted to kill Luffy. Hancock swore to "rip him to shreds and feed him to beasts". Smoker warned Hancock that her actions might lead to her Warlord of the Sea status being revoked, something that Hancock was convinced would not happen due to her beauty.
When Donquixote Doflamingo arrived at Punk Hazard looking for Law and the Straw Hats after the events that had transpired there , he began attacking the G-5 Marines that were still doing rescue work in the island. Doflamingo demanded Smoker to reveal the whereabouts of the newly formed Pirate Alliance , to which Smoker refused while derisively bringing up Vergo's involvement in the whole episode. Figuring that Smoker had learned a lot about his underworld operations, Doflamingo was left with no choice but to try silencing the vice-admiral.
After the intervention of Aokiji , [22] Doflamingo spared Smoker's life as he did not want to risk fighting a former Admiral. When Smoker encountered Trafalgar Law at Punk Hazard , he demanded answers from the then Warlord of the Sea about the mysteries surrounding the island, some regarding on who Law was working for, indicating a hidden agenda.
While Smoker yielded in defeat, Law commented that he did not have to tell him anything, [35] switching Smoker and Tashigi's personalities in their bodies so they would be unable to get in his way again.
However, once Law, Luffy, Smoker and Tashigi all got captured by Caesar Clown, they formed a temporary alliance in order to defeat the evil scientist and his ally Vergo. Smoker was reluctant about joining forces with Law due to the conditions he had set for him to change back his and Tashigi's bodies which was to not mention his or Luffy's involvement in subsequent reports , but was convinced by a desperate Tashigi to accept his terms for the sake of his men.
Law also reaffirmed that Smoker was under his debt since he could have just killed him instead. Later on, in the SAD Production Room, Smoker inadvertently saved Law by taking over his fight with Vergo, managing to swipe back Law's heart from Vergo's possession and thus getting even with the Warlord. With Vergo having been dealt with, Law and Smoker worked together to find a means of escaping the island for the others to use.
Afterwards, while everybody else partied over Caesar's defeat, Smoker had a small chat with Law and showed curiosity about what kind of plan he had in mind while allying with the Straw Hats. Law left Smoker with only a small cryptic clue about his next steps, which Smoker seemingly noted in his mission report to New Marineford. Caesar viewed Smoker as a threat to his operations at Punk Hazard. Describing the vice-admiral as a "pain-in-the-neck", Caesar was seemingly aware of Smoker's reputation as a stubborn and meddlesome marine.
After being defeated by Luffy, Caesar attempted to take Smoker down with him as revenge, unaware that the heart Law had given to him was in fact of Monet 's. When he was still base commander, Vergo put a friendly front to soldiers and civilians in order to avoid suspicion.
He admitted to have been concerned about Smoker's transfer to G-5, mentioning that he had to put up the largest possible guard to prevent the newly-transferred Marine from finding out his true affiliation. Vergo also expressed the desire to murder both Smoker and Tashigi "by accident", since they now knew about his secret identity.
Daddy is apparently very close to Smoker, with the latter being familiar enough with Daddy's daughter Carol Daddy refers to Smoker as "Uncle Smoker" to Carol. Daddy often hands over the pirates he catches for Smoker to imprison. Smoker claims that it is unfortunate that the Marines' best sniper was reduced to a common bounty hunter, demonstrating his respect for Daddy's skills. Smoker is a formidable combatant, as on top of his sheer strength, his Logia Devil Fruit abilities set him apart from most Marines of his rank.
In Loguetown , he was on the verge of arresting Luffy during their first encounter, and would have succeeded had it not been for Luffy's father, Monkey D. Dragon , interfering. After the Enies Lobby events, Smoker was shown unsatisfied in capturing a pirate with a bounty of 50,, and already considered moving to the New World. However, the Warlord Boa Hancock seemingly had the upper hand against the then Marine commodore when she stood in his way, thanks to her knowledge and mastery of Haki letting her bypass Smoker's defenses.
By the end of the Summit War of Marineford, Smoker's overall strength had granted him enough confidence to request a transfer to the G-5 Marine Branch in the New World. It was said that the soldiers of this branch were insane, cruel, and merciless, regularly torturing pirates through various methods.
They were known for not following orders, but Smoker, who is very much similar, managed to earn their loyalty and obedience, to the point of worship. Smoker is one of the few Marines who has ever beaten Luffy, the others being the two high-ranking Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru as well as Sentomaru although Luffy was injured at the time.
As a result, Luffy resorted to running away from Smoker every time he spotted him, however, Luffy could not use Busoshoku Haki yet in those times. Luffy being the first person to ever escape his clutches is what sets him to fearlessly tackle more dangerous seas.
It is worth noting that, in this particular confrontation, Smoker was focused primarily in retrieving Law's heart from Vergo's possession instead of defeating him directly. Smoker has both excellent hearing and memory, best shown during the Arabasta Arc , where he was able to identify a certain Bananawani from a whole pack solely by memorizing its growl. While he may not look like it, Smoker is a clever and intelligent interrogator, easily tricking Mr.
Being highly observant, Smoker was the only one who noticed during their trip to Punk Hazard, the unusual icebergs that blocked their path, as well as being suspicious of the ever present gas that lingers around the island, both of which were being manipulated by the enemy. As a leader and strategist, Smoker is extremely efficient at his job, mobilizing his forces in a clear and concise manner during times of crisis.
As evident of his strong build, Smoker possesses incredible physical strength: during their confrontation in Loguetown, he was able to jump about two stories high without difficulty while holding Luffy and pin him down while he was unable to retaliate, a noteworthy feat, considering Luffy's inhuman physical power. He also has vast endurance and resistance. Smoker was able to stand back up with no visible damage and without effort after receiving a Haki-enhanced kick from Boa Hancock, whose attacks were strong enough to shatter stone and Pacifistas armor though Hancock's kick was primarily to get him off Luffy.
After the 2 year timeskip, Smoker has become significantly more powerful in both physical strength and fighting skills, which is reflected by his new rank. As a Marine Vice-Admiral, Smoker could survive against the fearsome dangers of the New World, hold his own against the Warlord of the Sea Trafalgar Law in battle and also, supplemented with his Devil Fruit powers, fight against Vergo, one of the strongest members of the Donquixote Pirates, even sending the latter flying with Haki enhanced strikes.
Smoker reflexively uses the Moku Moku no Mi to get unscathed by a pirate from the Whitebeard Pirates. Smoker ate the Moku Moku no Mi, a Logia -type Devil Fruit that allows him to create, control and transform his body into smoke.
He can manipulate the smoke's density, even to the point of solidifying it, allowing him to hold and constrict others within it. Like most Logia users, he can fly by turning his lower body into smoke and propelling himself like a rocket.
Due to smoke being a gas, it has high maneuverability and irregular movements, allowing him to easily cover the battlefield in smoke as his opponents pointlessly they to escape it.
Once his smoke is surrounding his enemies, he can increase its density, turning it solid and restraining his victims. He can also use his smoke as a blunt weapon. He can shoot powerful jets of smoke at his opponents to strike them with great force. Using his smoke powers, Smoker can power up the engines of his motorbike, the Billower Bike , for on-land transportation.
Smoker's main weapon is a large jitte that is quite long and is tipped with Seastone , a material that affects Devil Fruit users in a similar way to the sea a person who consumes a Devil Fruit becomes weak and unable to move his or her body in the water, and Seastone is, in Smoker's own words, "a solidified form of the sea" , which he uses to subdue criminal Devil Fruit users. Since only the tip is Seastone, it does not affect Smoker himself.
He keeps the tip hanging in the air at all times, and his thick clothing provides further protection. When he turns into smoke, the weapon does not turn into smoke with him because of the Seastone.
Instead, he carries it with him while in smoke form. Smoker seems to be very proficient in wielding the jitte, taking enemies by surprise and using the weapon to deliver strong blunt attacks.
The jitte was broken in half when Boa Hancock kicked it, which led it to crumble. After the timeskip, the jitte has shown to have been repaired. Its hilt is white in the manga, but red in the anime. Also, in the manga and its related merchandise and products, it seems to be much longer than in the anime, almost reaching down to Smoker's feet. The Billower Bike is used for in-land transportation. It is a wide bike with three wheels two big ones in the rear, and a smaller one in front and its engines are powered by his Moku Moku no Mi powers.
Additionally, Smoker can traverse water with the bike. Before the timeskip, Smoker was not able to use Haki , although he had some knowledge of it. This put him at a disadvantage against the Warlord of the Sea Boa Hancock, who had mastery of the ability and could counter his Logia abilities. During the timeskip, Smoker was promoted to vice admiral, confirming that he can use the ability. Smoker possesses the ability to use Busoshoku Haki. During his battle with Vergo , he landed a punch where his hand and part of his arm were completely black, demonstrating the use of Hardening.
Smoker possesses the ability to use Kenbunshoku Haki , [55] he sensed that Tashigi's Haki was not strong enough to counter Law's ability. In the manga, his hair color is pure white; the anime initially tinted it a greenish-grey color, but changed to match the manga from the Punk Hazard Arc on.
His jacket's fur trim also differs between mediums, with the manga portraying it as a bluish color and the anime a deep green; in this case, the manga eventually changed its color scheme to follow the anime. This, like most of the manga's small-print details, is omitted from the anime.
Young Smoker witnesses Gold Roger 's execution, as seen in the anime. In the anime, the subplot on Smoker's backstory he mentions about Gold Roger is expanded on in Loguetown, showing that he was in Roger's execution when he was a child. Instead of learning about Luffy when he was about to be executed by Buggy and Alvida, [3] Smoker learns about him earlier.
He is informed that some pirates are creating havoc in the harbor. Thinking that this crew is the Straw Hat Pirates, Smoker prepares to go there. There he finds an elderly pirate called Crescent Moon Gally who has a bounty of 3,, He and his crew are seen raiding buildings at Loguetown before being captured by Captain Smoker, who was disappointed that Gally was not Luffy since that was the pirate Smoker was hoping to find.
Luffy then appears, asking Smoker where the execution gallows are. Not knowing who he is, Smoker shows him the way, using his smoke. Figuring out his true identity later, while he is in Raoul 's bar, who blames him for having few customers because of him, Smoker heads to the execution platform where he challenges Luffy to a fight.
Even without using his Devil Fruit powers, Smoker manages to gain the upper hand against Luffy, who then manages to accidentally send himself flying into another part of town. Later, Daddy Masterson is seen talking to then-Captain Smoker and asking him to sign a release. Smoker asks him about his daughter and claims it is sad how the Marines' best sniper is reduced to a common bounty hunter.
Just as he is about to leave, Smoker tells him to say hi to Carol for him at which Daddy replies; "I'll tell her Uncle Smoker said hello. Sanji's role is placed here rather than the fight with Smoker as he fights the Marines attacking the ship.
During Episode , Smoker was shown using his jitte, even though Hancock had destroyed it earlier. Localizations of contemporary video games such as Grand Battle! Finally, 4Kids' localization of Pirates Carnival uses him to host a mini-game originally hosted by Paulie as it had made no preparations for dubbing the Water 7 Arc , his smoke abilities substituting for Paulie's Rope Action.
Moreso, he is one of a select few marines who can be considered in and out corrupt. There are likely zero qualities about him that Luffy would appreciate. Not just any marine, but the cream of the crop of the Marines-- a Marine admiral. They have the healthiest form of rivalry. Diez Barrels is a character not known by many.
Diez Barrels is a marine-turned-pirate ; he used to be commendable as a marine but turned for the worse after embracing piracy. Greed, which is one of his defining qualities, does not resonate well with Luffy.
Smoker went after Luffy's head more than a few times. Prior to the timeskip, he was an antagonist for the most part. Yet despite his busy record with Luffy and the Strawhats, he is still viewed as a friend by Luffy.
In all likelihood, Punk Hazard will not be the last time we see these two working hand to hand. Sanji said it himself, Vergo is the kind of man that Luffy hates the most.
