Future Events Smoker will be close to Luffy's level the next time we see him

The other points you added are not necessarily factual because like I said, he has been off panel ever since he was shown on the cover story and there is nothing stopping him from also getting a power up
That is the problem,just one powerup can't get him close to Luffy who had during that time 3 powerups+overall states at once. How is Smoker coming close to a men who has since his battle against Ceaser multiple powerups? Smoker was not a match for Doffy and he all of sudden jump multiple tiers? This is not going happen. Smoker is not Luffy who himself had hell off time/training and extrem death battles to reach his current lvl.

After beating Kaido Luffy will be a solid top tier equal to Admirals. And Smoker coming close to that lvl just by one powerup? No just no.

But it can be multiple right.
We shall see then

This forum believes smoker will be near Luffy
And think Sanji is below Franky

Trying to make Smoker ~ Sanji when Sanji gave Doffy better fight than smoker could
Especially fighting in the air which is Doffy's forte.

Smoker will be lucky to be mid high tier when we see next time

I think smoker will be stronger but not top tier
probably somewhere arounf high tier
He could make it to low top tier by EoS eventually, assuming Sabo will still be stronger however. I don't see Smoker catching up with Sabo in all honesty. The likes of Lucci should be capable to instead.

He is already a Vice Admiral so a DF power up + a potential new Jitte could put him around the admiral tier. He will be strong enough to give our MC a great fight but Luffy will always be at the top when we reach the end of the story.

People have been hyping Koby as the new Garp of this generation due to Oda's mistake of calling him a rear admiral. At the rank of captain, there is no way you can take down a Warlord and even less a Yonku. I do believe that he will become an Admiral but only during the epilogue when years have passed.

Imho, Smoker fits more the profile of becoming the new Garp:

- He has chased and almost captured the future PK on multiple occasions.
- Smoker knows Luffy so much that he can literally guess his next move such as going to Rainbase, and Raijin island
- They have this love and Hate relationship that Roger and Garp had. Koby is too friendly and fanboyish while Smokey is tsundere.
- Hina noticed that Smoker was actually happy when the Straw Hats successfully escaped Alabasta... He just doesn't like to show it.
- He knew right away that it was Luffy and co who saved FI from Hody's rebellion.
- The PH accident made them closer that even his G-5 subordinates ( look like pirates) are starting to love the main characters.
- Smoker and Garp were Vice Admirals when Luffy and Roger started their final run.
- Luffy and Smoker allied against a common enemy in PH and in Alabasta too.
- The WG covered up Luffy and Roger heroism and gave all the credit to Smoker and Garp.
- The series is about parallels and inherited will. Smoker even got a similar facial scar !

I think you are quite optimistic concerning smoker.No way just a new jitte and some new devil power tricks puts him anywhere near Current Luffy.
Haki blooms in extreme situations,Smoker hasn't been involved in any extreme battle(if he did,the newspapers would have talked about that) so I don't see how Some New vegapunk weapon puts him capable of fighting Kaido or Big mom in any capacity like Luffy will.

If there is something Oda taught us postskip,it is no past enemy/ally can match Luffy's growth rate.

I don't think there is any new Garp, Koby is certainly not the one,he's more like Luffy's fanboy.

That ship has sailed long ago. Luffy was already significantly above Smoker back in Dressrosa. With Advanced haki Luffy’s a low top tier, the man cracked Kaido’s teeth with just G3. Dude’s on another level right now, Smoker would have to make an unrealistic jump to even compete.
