Smoker and Tashigi see the horrors of what the Government is capable of, and Smoker leaves the Marines because of it. Simultaneously, the Straw Hats end up opposing the Government and become known as heroes around the world for opposing the Cleansers

It’s possible and would be the thing that drives Smoker to join the SHs.

I do think that’s a bit too much for now though. Although I’m sure we’ll get more impressive Green Bull feats soon I don’t think we’re going to get a much longer extension to Wano.

Smoker realizes that the Straw Hats represent the true justice he has been seeking all along, and after seeing a Government coverup in Alabasta, then Marine corruption at Punk Hazard, then his own leadership tries to kil him, and then a great cleansing, Smoker then joins the Straw Hats as the final Straw Hat

Well not all of this would happen in Wano of course lol. But I think this would be a great way to end the arc, and would surely piss Sakazuki off which we can assume is coming lol.

The only flaw in your interesting theory is...the fact that Lolda is currently writing this Manga. This is not a bad idea, but tension free Lolda will never approve of it.

@The White Crane you are so right😭 Oda came up with so many good ideas but his execution is lacking

Lmao. Lee. Oda cannot write at this level.

Do you guys think this would be a good/interesting idea and direction for the story to take? Or no?
MarineHQ

Yes because there's no way a great cleansing or anything close to that can happen with Smoker on board. Oda has to adress the few marines that would clearly not be quite and watch how it happens.

Like HQ was saying. I can’t see guys like Smoker staying around after the cleansing starts so that needs to be addressed.

What about Green Bull exterminating G5 and Smoker becoming one of those Marines who was supposed to die like the Marines that Akainu and Onigumo killed?
EmperorKinyagi
EmperorKinyagi
Not enough set up for it to happen now. Ryokugyu showing up as is is pretty weird/random unless Oda ties him to Wano or Zoro with a black blade somehow

The problem being Smoker is too weak. What I'm curious about is the list of all SWORD members.

If we view Green Bull as an extension of Akainu’s own extremism, he could very well start killing marines left and right. Lol

@solis Smoker is too weak for what? Lol

Even Punk Hazard Smoker beats half of the current Straw Hats.

I’m not sure. I still think there’s a very good chance he’s a “delinquent with a heart of gold” Yakuza trope.

Also, I’ve posited before that he might a mix of Kizaru and Aokiji.

The “unclear” part of Kizaru’s justice/personality may be apart of Ryokugyu and we’re misled by the first showing.

@AdmiralKinyagi I hope so too. There's no way Oda turns him into a bootleg Akainu.
