Nah Smoker was fighting normally, which is why he was able to land all those attacks. But clearly he figured he was not going to put Vergo down, and he knew that, which is why he switched to stealing the heart so Law could finish Vergo for him. The anime team just expanded on/exaggerated what we already knew.

Smoker was never portrayed for a second to be capable of beating Vergo. It was similar to Sanji's situation where they were outlanding Vergo to no avail.
Casual L take. Woker had it.
 
I would agree if manga didn't display the complete opposite.

1st exchange: Smoker goes around Vergo for a Jitte attack -> vergo dodges -> Throws a kick -> Smoker blocks his kick -> Vergo tries to attack with the bamboo -> Smoker dodges and throws a punch -> Vergo laid out on the floor bleeding.


2nd exchange shown is Smoker again hitting this dude and bloodying him up.

Vergo is never gone be able to tank clean hits from Smoker like nothing happened let alone combo punches.


As for going from trying to beat Vergo and then switching to getting Law's heart, disagreed on that. If it was about just whooping Vergo's ass, Smoker would've done that long ago. The issue was retrieving Law's heart, which Vergo could just destroy within a second the moment he senses hes about to lose, similar to Ceasar who thought he was stabbing Smoker's heart. His objective from the get-go was to get the heart. Hence why Law states, the deal is done. And then later states about how Smoker being nice to him resulted in good karma for him, related to their hearts.

Never understood lowkey where folks got the switch of hearts things from, never implied by Smoker or Vergo or Law. Even Vergo simply mentions Smoker not fighting like himself by expanding the Smoke. The fight starts in chapter 684, and then in 685, we see that Smoker was already fighting by expanding the Smoke, unlike himself. Which continued on for 5 more chapters after that.

It's true that Smoker wasn't fighting like himself, but Vergo is still portrayed as being above him, Smoker talked about fighting Vergo like it was a suicide mission, and everyone in their marine unit saw Vergo as *the guy*

I mean I already showed you proof he started fighting by expanding smoke literally the next chapter, which continued for 5 more chapters. But I mean if you rather go with the Vergo agenda, go right ahead bruhz.

He didn't switch his mind... Law literally told him not to pull any stunts until Law got his heart back from Vergo. Which is why he goes after Vergo, even though Law had gone after him. To get Law's heart back for him. Hence Law states the deal is done. We literally had a scene of a dude who got his ass kicked and was about stab "Smoker's heart" to atleast "take one down" with him. Law's heart took priority over kicking Vergo's ass.


The anime team just acted like low iq chimps like they did with the Whitebeard-Akainu moments, which is gassing up a pirate over a marine. When Oda himself doesn't bother showing Vergo tanking a clean hit from Smoker, idk what makes you think he would tank haki punch combos from Smoker, cause of some dumb anime sequence.

@Bold, not for himself but the fodder marines and Tashigi.

Vergo at best is the 5th strongest fighter on PH. You remove Law's heart out of the equation it's a squash match for either Law or Smoker. With Roronoa and Luffy being the other two are superior. Smoker is even superior to Law at PH, who solely won due to the hax advantage, which somebody like Doflamingo only countered because he had prior knowledge (as mentioned by Doflamingo himself when Law tries the same attack that Smoker got done in by on Doflamingo), but that's a different discussion.

It's 2025 I'm not reading a Smoker vs Vergo breakdown lmao. I know every little detail there is to know about this fight. There's nothing you can conjure up to magically make me change my opinion on it. I'm not even trying to change whatever view you have on this, if 13 years after the fight this is the conclusion you have drawn then nothing I say is gonna change anything. I was simply commenting on toei doing a good job on this fight, you disagreed. That's where the discussion ended for me on this topic.

I mean clearly not since you flat out lied about Smoker fighting normally to land the hits, when the 2nd hit was landed while his smoke was expanded lmao. The other lie was about the change of heart in middle of the fight, but aye I understand, we'll end it here.

I prefer Smoker vs Kuzan one hundredfold over Law vs Kuzan or, TAC forgive me for the monstrosity I'm about to mention, Koby vs Kuzan :whitepress:
The thing about Koby vs Kuzan is that it just doesn't make sense thematically as Koby's final opponent/obstacle. Koby's pretty much been defined as a hero since the timeskip. Koby's monumental victory should be over someone who represents some significant corrupt/evil force/movement – that's how a heroic victory is traditionally narrativized and achieved. You need people all over the world cheering on as Koby fights a capital B Badguy. You simply won't get this kind of scenario with Kuzan. Koby fighting Aramaki is several times more likely than Kuzan, if only because Kuzan's role in the story is that of anti-hero. But even Aramaki isn't that likely of a candidate imo.

Koby will probably fight and defeat Teach alongside Luffy to mirror God Valley
