Smoker

Biodata

Background / History

Smoker met Wude in Loguetown shortly after Gol D. Roger’s execution. Even as a boy, he was determined to become a Marine and told Wude that he hoped they would meet again in the Marines. 1

Years later, Smoker reunited with Wude in Loguetown. Having enlisted before Wude, he prepared to travel with him to Marineford for Marine Academy recruitment. When Jia captured a youth responsible for betraying his hometown to pirates, Smoker initially ordered the prisoner confined; Wude instead had him executed. 37

Smoker publicly praised Wude’s New World exploits to other applicants, calling him a terrifying prodigy. He attended the Academy entrance examination alongside Wude and was accepted into the new class. 37 39

At the Academy, Smoker was assigned to a different formation from Wude and Hina. He quickly recognized that Wude’s experience, immortality, Haki, and invisible companion put him far beyond ordinary recruits—including Shu, whose challenge Smoker dismissed as Wude “bullying” a weaker opponent. 40

Personality

Smoker is blunt, sociable, and openly proud of Wude’s accomplishments. He expresses friendship through teasing, high-fives, drinking invitations, and casual physical familiarity. 37 39

He is also perceptive about Wude’s unusual abilities and often serves as the more grounded voice in their group. Although he initially finds Wude and Hina’s interactions amusing, he becomes increasingly frustrated when their growing partnership leaves him excluded. 41 42 45
