Once again, gutter tier literary analysis.
1) The hero labeling by Kyros has been an obvious allusion to Garp's title since first said; but that single parallel doesn't mean he fills the same role Garp did with Roger as to Luffy, which is what people mean most times they hearken to it.
I maintain as I always have that Koby is meant to be a different sort of aspirational figure than Garp has been; not the punching/propaganda person Garp came to be for the navy/status quo (the punching part being what most of the fandom wants and see's).
That's been clear since Marineford put Koby up as a potential figurehead but is also why the "hero" label should be read with multiple quotations, when noone actually knows the truth of the Rocky Port incident and you could easily be counting your chickens before they hatch.
2) Okay???? This is some "it's like poetry it rhymes" tier commentary, how about you actually address Smoker's on page presence and the role he served/his personal connection to Luffy and the narrative/our perception of the Navy come logutown.
3) Meaningless sentence and not based in any actual narrative implications.
4) Cool, and Smoker is close friends with Kuzan who's tied to Blackbeard; a connection that's been stressed since Long Ring Long Land yet the geniuses in the fandom think to theorize about Kuzan/Koby and not the character he has unfinished business with.
In fact if you could stretch your thinking you could probably find content to sink your teeth into on the Garp to Kuzan to Smoker lineage.
5)Fanfiction.
6)Fanfiction but if you want fanfiction closer to reality- there's always Stampede where Smoker is ACTUALLY put alongside the likes of Boa and Luffy and Law and Sabo.
7) Bellamy has a chapter title named after him, I know how good/special it feels (Gatz +1 over Koby for it being solely his name?) but you need a little more than that; and you need to actually argue in a way that isn't just saying Koby's important which anyone with two eyes can see.
8) You do not know what happened on Rocky Port and need to actually address Smoker's content instead of just saying "Koby this, Ko by that."
Smoker won't "may" get some shine, he's a potential permanent tagalong who'll probably reach Laugh Tale and will 100% work closer on the ground with Luffy than any other Marine in the series as no other marine needs the catharsis of a team-up/cementing of their bond and care.
Oh and on the hero note; maybe focus on how Blackbeard calling Koby "hero" could be intended as mocking derisive; which should be considered given how delusional and differently his general "peaceful" approach and attitude was framed by Sandersonia and how Koby in his "heroics" saved the princess who just last chapter was wanting to torture her own citizens.
Maybe it's not just "hero hype," maybe it's Koby will parallel Garp as a symbol for "justice" and the model marine but without Garp's fraudulence and his current baby ideology that need's to be corrected.
Now try actually saying something about Smoker so I can tell you why you're wrong again.

2. He served 0 role. He didn't force luffy to aspire to new heights, he isn't someone whom luffy and zoro state would be a problem in the future. It sucks man.
3. Bullshit on this since everyone associated with a d has been famous/infamous revered important buddy.
Let's go down the list:
Rodger pirates: associated with D rodger
Rayleigh: associated with d rodger
Shanks: associated with d rodger
Buggy: associated with d rodger
Sabo: associated with d dragon
Coby: associated with d garp
Strawhat crew: associated with d luffy
Doffy: associated with d law
Kaido/Whitebeard/bignom: associated with d xebec.
Blackbeard: an actual D
Law: an actual D
4. Cool Smoker has ties with someone who has ties with bb while coby has direct ties with bb because of the rocky Port incident lol.
5. Nice bullshiting boas fruit folds daffy. The same daffy that mentioned boas conquerors haki by the way.
6. Cool buddy coby was placed directly in ties with zoro and benchman in film red lol
7. Yip but the chapter title of coby brings further events in reference to his situation something bellamys chapter title doesn't do lol
8. Sure we do. We know a rocks pirate was their. We know law was the mastermind. We know koby was the hero. We know that bb thanked cobys for his role in Rocky Port. We know from kyros that coby saved and defended the civilians there.
You really ain't making this difficult for me are you
