still, all I can say isHaha when shit is just about to get real, it goes on break!
I am going with theory that Smoker didn't fight back for some reason. Possibly to find out more about Doflamingo's connections within the Government? He seemed to be playing dumb. Might not make sense but it seemed odd that Smoker, who held his own against Vergo, was one-shotted so easily.Anyone else disappointed by how much of a pushover smoker was ? I mean I get that Doflamingo is supposed to be a badass, but to get 1-shoted without even putting up a fight . . .
I think people tend to think the Shichibukai are weaker than the Yonko because of the "balance of power" theory in One Piecehttp://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/World...e_Great_Powers- it takes 7 of them to "balance out" the 4 emperors. That being said, One Piece is pretty inconsistent when it comes to these power ratings - Moria was supposed to have fought Kaido to a standstill (edit: Kaido won, oops), but Moria was beaten by Luffy whereas Kaido even makes Doflamingo scared...I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the Shichibukai have power nearly or as much as the Admirals/Emperors.
With that stated, Smoker is only a Vice Admiral, so I don't think he can fight against Doflamingo.
Jesus, the other six would have to be exceptionally powerful to balance out BUGGY the freaking clown against the Four Emperors.I think people tend to think the Shichibukai are weaker than the Yonko because of the "balance of power" theory in One Piecehttp://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/World...e_Great_Powers- it takes 7 of them to "balance out" the 4 emperors.

He wasn't one of the Shichibukai, was he?Jesus, the other six would have to be exceptionally powerful to balance out BUGGY the freaking clown against the Four Emperors.
Leaning towards him still being a piece of shit. The core of his character is that he's just freeloading off his reputation for being at one point associated with Shanks and Gol D Roger.He wasn't one of the Shichibukai, was he?
edit: derp, he became one AFTER timeskip. Maybe he got a power-up like the rest of the crew (or he's still a piece of shit).
Agree - it's not consistent with Luffy's character. His power ups tend to be internal (nakama power, clever use of his own abilities) rather than external (afro wig and nightmare fluffy are all temporary). I'd be disappointed if they went the double fruit route anyway, aside from Blackbeard.Luffy won't eat Ace's fruit. Either it gets merged with one of Zoro's sword or it will go to raftel to become one of Luffy's treasures.
Even if they do go that route, I doubt they'd do it right away. I'm leaning towards it sitting amongst his treasures until some huge revelation occurs later on in regards to how Blackbeard did it. Then, and only then, against some threat like Akainu, or Blackbeard can I see Luffy even considering it to sort of honor Ace's memory by kicking their asses with it.Agree - it's not consistent with Luffy's character.
