Garp was older than Roger, but Coby and Luffys relationship have zero similarities to Roger and Garps.
Meanwhile Luffy and Smokers are the same:
- Chased him throughout the world
- Nearly killed each other over and over
- Luffy looks forward to fighting him again
1. Garp and rodger were friends hence why rodger trusted garp to raise his kid even more so than his former crew mates. Luffy and coby are friends.
2. Yes they had multiple battles. Smoker and luffy had 1. So even this example doesn't apply to smoker
3 cool literally told coby " you have to be strong" told coby "you have to be ad strong as an admiral if you someday want to catch me". Zoro "you have just created a powerful adversary for us". Referring to coby.
We are done

Luffy has no Garp however he does have marine rivals both being Coby and smoker.
Both characters made promises to defeat luffy in the new world
Now this I like

People acting like I dislike smoker. I like him alot especially his design. However I am not going to allow myself not to look at oda narrative..
If oda wanted to he could have had coby get absolutely bodied by boa. Instead he gave her a bounty comparable to katakuri. Had boas ability fail against him and then had boa go in for a named attacks to coby that he perceived coming at him. Just like luffy he had a yonko capture him.
Meanwhile oda literally drew smoker getting bodied by doffy. And having to be saved by aoikiji. Why did he not do the same to coby? And simply have Rayleigh tell boa stop or something?
Why? Because his narrative with coby is bigger hence why he won't ever make coby look the way smoker did. Infact he instead had blackbeard a yonko, a D refer to coby by his title "the hero".
