Literally.

We are talking, sadly, about a dead character that vanished since the end of DR and that passed the same DR saying that even if he was admiral, he could not have done what Fujitora did.

Even if Kody didn't do what he did, it would be already clear Smoker could not be what we wanted.

And I am sad for that, even the golden era marine had two prominent new era marines, Garp and Sengoku, but it is what it is. Koby is hundred times more important, and as of even much stronger.
Koby would legit one shot PH Smoker.

But it's not even totally about power levels, Koby has been Luffy's rival since the literal start of the series and we've only seen more and more of him.

  • Escorting princesses to Reverie post WCI
  • Talking to X Drake in Wano
  • Taking part in the attack on Amazon Lily, Post Wano
  • The entire Hachinosu plot line is centered around him playing the role of Ace.

The closest, absolute closest, Smoker has been to coming back is Tashigi making a background cameo and maybe getting a few lines of throwaway dialogue.
 
Oda had input in it though

:kayneshrug:

We just gonna ignore power creep in movies because it doesn't fit our headcanon?

Oda has shown numerous times he's not afraid to use cover stories, databooks and movies as elements to the live story.

Lucci in his first fight Post TS was going one on one with Sabo which now makes sense based on his current portrayal in EH.

I'm just saying let's not be so closed minded because we have our own headcanon and pretend Oda wouldn't power creep then fuck out of a character to fit his story.

Kuzan literally wasn’t even present at this moment.

Go reread the end of beehive dude Kuzan wasn’t even present at this moment

So you think PIZZARO is the reason Garp stayed behind? That guy he dunked on and was able to solidly beat down?

Not the former admiral who's responsible for freezing him when we see Garp?

That's delusional and dumb.

- Shown to do the same training as Garp and Aokiji.

That's worth something
