If Zoro is about to reach top tier alongside Sanji, Kid, Law, and Sabo + Luffy who already made the jump… Then how is Smoker unbelievable?
The fact that Luffy in a mere like 3 months went from YC3 to Kaido acknowledging him as being on the same level as him should disperse all doubts… Matter of fact:
Pretending to be a real fan isn’t cool because a real fan would be onboard the hype train till it’s confirmed to end.
Smoker will be admiral level especially if Loby is rising through the ranks and known as hero now
Zoro has always been stronger than everyone. Dude is walking with a literal god mode since Enies Lobby.
Not a single character is capable of remotely anything like that. Zoro being #1 is simply what he is made to be.
And Zoro has been a top tier the whole post time skip, long before Luffy reached it with G5. All of it is besides the point.
While Zoro on PH was capable of his Wano feats, Smoker on PH was around Vergo's and Law's level.
Zoro advances within top tier, boosting only his firepower, nothing else. How is Smoker to bridge all the gaps to top tier?
It is wishful thinking. Being a fan doesnt require you to be delusional. I am a big Crocodile fan as well, bigger than Smoker's.
Still hasnt crossed my mind that Crocodile is a top tier. As much as I would like it. Same for Smoker.
I can make an argument for Zoro being the #1 in the universe because there are foundations for it.
I dont have such foundations for Crocodile and Smoker to build a case for them to be top tiers.
Luffy and being on Kaido's level is a nice joke. Not even with all the plot armor is he anywhere close to Kaido.
Coby's improvement is 2nd to none and I cant see him being as powerful as an Admiral even if he gets the rank.
Once again, I would be happy if I am wrong and Smoker ends up top-tier comparable to Admirals.
Sadly for Smoker, my power scaling has been rather on point so far.
