Watch the vid, it goes into detail why him hating pirates is ultimately important. Over time, he's increasingly become more tolerant to specifically the strawhats.
The biggest thing is just Aokiji, who is his mentor. Aokiji left the Marines specifically to achieve something as a non-marine. Considering Smoker actually is starting to see Luffy as the saviors of many countries and not the Marines, it becomes easy to see how it's possible, even if Carrot ends up sneaking on board next chapter.
Imo, we'll see Smoker next during a Vegapunk centric plotline, so I'm curious to see how his behavior changes once he and Luffy meet a 5th time in the story
True lol. I'm just gonna start stanning Smoker lol, Morj has convinced me
