Usopp

Tentang Usopp

Usopp adalah nama seorang karakter fiksi dari serial manga dan anime One Piece. Usopp adalah penembak ulung dalam kelompok bajak laut topi jerami. Sebagai orang ketiga yang bergabung, Usopp adalah anggota yang paling pengecut dan selalu menghindari pertempuran.

Nama Usopp kemungkinan berasal dari katauso dan isopp dari bahasa jepang yang keduanya berarti kebohongan atau orang yang menceritakan dongeng.

Kapten Usopp

Di Desa Syrup, Usopp menyebut dirinya kapten Usopp beserta tiga anak kecil Piman, Ninjin dan Tamanengi membentuk kelompok “bajak laut” Usopp.

Usopp adalah putra dari Yasopp, penembak jitu dari kelompok bajak laut Shanks. Yasopp sudah lama pergi dari desa. Pada saat itu ibu Usopp sakit keras, dan Usopp menghiburnya dengan mengatakan “bajak laut datang, ayah sudah pulang” agar ibunya terus berusaha untuk hidup. Setelah ibunya meninggal, Usopp terus meneriakkan hal itu di desa. Penduduk desa membiarkannya karena menurut mereka didalamnya ada impian dan harapan. Kadang mereka marah dan mengejar Usopp. Penduduk desa juga menganggap teriakkan rutin itu sebagai alarm untuk segera bekerja.

Mungkin karena teringat ibunya yang meninggal karena sakit, Usopp selalu menghibur Kaya, gadis yang sakit-sakitan karena orang tuanya meninggal. Usopp selalu menceritakan cerita bohongnya untuk membuat Kaya jadi lebih sehat.

Setelah kedatangan Luffy, Nami dan Roronoa Zoro bersamaan dengan datangnya kelompok bajak laut Kuroneko, Usopp (dan kelompok bajak laut Usopp) terlibat pertempuran langsung dengan mereka demi melindungi desa dan Kaya. Pemimpin mereka, Kapten Kuro adalah yang menyamar sebagai pelayan pribadi Kaya selama 3 tahun demi mendapat hartanya.

Setelah pertempuran dengan kelompok bajak laut Kuroneko. Usopp bermaksud menjadi bajak laut yang sesungguhnya dan membubarkan kelompok bajak laut Usopp. Luffy mengajak Usopp masuk anggota dan Luffy menjadikannya seorang penembak jitu karena sama dengan ayahnya Yasopp. Usopp juga menggambar bendera bajak laut topi jerami dan selalu ingin menjadi kapten.

Sogeking

Usopp yang menyamar sebagai Sogeking

Selama memasuki Grand Line, Usopp merasa kalau dia sangatlah lemah terutama setelah dihajar habis-habisan oleh Keluarga Franky. Usopp menjadi kehilangan percaya diri karena dia orang terlemah di kapal. Setelah serentetan konflik dengan para anggota kru Water 7, Usopp menyatakan keluar dari kelompok bajak laut Topi Jerami dan akhirnya ditangkap olehCP9.

Setelah dibebaskan oleh Sanji di cerita pengejaran kereta api laut, Usopp pergi setelah mendengar ceritaNico Robin dan kemudian (dengan cepat) kembali lagi mengenakan topeng dan jubah dan menamai dirinya Sogeking. Dia membantu Sanji dan Franky menolong Nico Robin dan berakhir dalam kereta Rocketman. Semua anggota kelompok bajak laut Topi Jerami (kecuali Luffy dan Chopper), keluarga Franky, dan tukang kayu Galley-La menyadari kalau Sogeking itu Usopp.

Di pertempuran Enies Lobby, dia bersama yang lain berusaha menyelamatkan Robin dan menuju Gedung Pengadilan, di sini Usopp tertinggal di Gerbang Pertama. Setelah berhasil menyadarkan 2 Raksasa Oimoo dan Kaashi, mereka dan Usopp mengadakan pemberontakan dan menuju Gedung Pengadilan. Usopp tiba di atas bersama anggota lainnya. Setelah mendengar permintaan Robin, Luffy mengutusnya untuk membakar bendera pemerintah yang berkibar di atas menara sebagai tanda pernyataan perang. Ketika di Menara Pengadilan, Usopp bertemu Jyabura dan Usopp kalah telak. Beruntung karena Roronoa Zoro jatuh dari atas tempat mereka bertarung dan dia langsung lari ke belakang. Kemudian secara tidak sengaja, lengan Usopp dan Zoro terkunci dalam borgol akhirnya mereka tidak bisa bertarung sampai Zoro mendapat ide untuk menjadikan Usopp sebagai "pedang" di lengan kanannya bernama Hana Arashi (Hana disini berarti bunga), setelah monster Chopper datang dan menyerbu ke tempat mereka, kemudian Nami datang membuka borgol mereka. Sekali lagi Usopp terluka parah oleh Jyabura tetapi segera di tolong oleh Sanji, dia mengutus Usopp untuk "melakukan apa yang bisa kau lakukan". Usopp menuju ke atas menara, dan darisana dia menembaki Spandam dan angkatan laut lain yang menyandera Robin. Setelah berhasil selamat, Usopp terjatuh karena tembakan Buster Call, tetapi selamat dan dibawa bersama Zoro dan Sanji lewat jalan bawah air, tetapi mereka terhadang banjir dan tenggelam kemudian diselamatkan oleh Nenek Kokoro.

Di atas Jembatan Keraguan, Usopp (tanpa topeng) datang menuju Luffy dan mengatakan kalau dia harus menang sementara para anggota akan menunggunya, setelah itu dia bertarung dengan 200 Kapten dari angkatan laut dengan yang lainnya.

Usopp yang selalu mendengar suara aneh yang memanggilnya akhirnya mengetahui kalau itu suaraGoing Merry, dan bersama yang lain, mereka melarikan diri dari Enies Lobby dengan Merry.

Setelah itu, Usopp menyamar menjadi Sogeking kembali di depan Luffy. Beberapa saat kemudian, Going Merry yang melampaui batas kemampuannya akan dimakamkan, pada awalnya Usopp berkata kalau di saat perpisahan harus tenang, tetapi pada akhirnya, dia menangis juga.

Setelah pertempuran di Ennies Lobby, Sogeking (Usopp) memiliki harga 30 juta berry setelah dinyatakan bersalah karena membakar bendera Pemerintah Dunia.

nama Sogeking berasal dari kata Sogeki (Jepang) yang berarti penembak ulung dan King yang berarti raja. Jadi Sogeking berarti raja penembak ulung. Menurut Sogeking, dia berasal dari pulau Sogeki yang menurutnya "ditemukan di dalam hatimu." Selain itu Sogeking juga membuat lagu temanya sendiri.

Kepribadian

Usopp adalah seorang pembohong besar (walaupun biasanya kebohongan itu berguna bagi kru), dan mungkin hidung panjangnya terinspirasi dari pinokio. Walaupun seorang pembohong, Usopp adalah seseorang yang (sebenarnya ingin) memiliki harga diri tinggi. Tetapi jika ada sebuah pertempuran, dia lari ketakutan dan malah menemui musuh yang tidak bisa dibayangkan sebelumnya (seperti God Enel) dan akhirnya melawannya.

Sifat Usopp yang lain juga dia sangat penakut, atau itulah yang ia pikir. Dalam situasi yang mepet, Usopp akan lebih berani terutama jika ada yang mengganggu kru. Walaupun kekurangannya dalam hal pertarungan, Usopp adalah yang paling berani dan tabah diantara sahabatnya.

Usopp adalah orang yang selalu bercanda di kru, terutama dengan Luffy dan Chopper (karena kru lain tidak mendengarkannya). Dia juga suka bercerita (bohong) pada Chopper sebagai pendengar setia. Dia juga orang yang artistik yaitu menggambar lambang bendera bajak laut topi jerami. Usopp juga sedikit mengagumi dan iri pada Roronoa Zoro, karena dia orang yang tidak pernah menggambarkan rasa takut dan tabah dalam apapun.

Usopp juga takut jika mendarat ke sebuah pulau (yang dia namakan penyakit tidak-bisa-mendarat-di-pulau) dan dengan mudahnya diacuhkan oleh sahabatnya. Usopp percaya kalau sahabatnya membutuhkannya. Tipuan dan kecerdasannya telah menyelamatkan sahabatnya dari berbagai macam bahaya. Cerita bohong yang Usopp sering ceritakan pada lawannya seperti dia punya 8000 pengikut.

Cita-cita Usopp adalah menjadi pahlawan pemberani di seluruh penjuru lautan seperti ayahnya. Dia juga punya impian lain yaitu pergi ke desa para pahlawan raksasa, Elbaf

Menjadi Kesatria

Usoop yang diteleport Kuma, mendarat di sebuah pulau yang bernama Pulau Boin. Pulau ini sebenarnya merupakan tanaman karnivora raksasa yang diatas tanaman ini hidup beberapa spesies hewan dan tumbuhan. Para hewan dan tumbuhan ini tertarik dengan permukaan tanaman karnivora yang ditumbuhi makanan-makanan lezat. Di pulau ini juga hidup seorang kesatria yang bernama Heraklisn yang menolong Usoop yang dalm kesusahan. karena banyaknya makanan yang terdapat di pulau ini maka Usoop pun menjadi gemmuk dan susah bergerak. Setelah Usoop membaca koran yang mengabarkan kondisi Luffy, Usoop meminta Heraklisn untuk mengajarinya menjadi kesatria.

Dua tahun kemudian Usoop kembali ke Pulau Shabaody dan bertemu Nami di sebuah bar. Usoop kemudian memperlihatkan senjata barunya yang mampu mengeluarkan tanaman pemakan manusia kepada kru topi jerami palsu.

Keahlian dan Kekuatan

Usopp adalah penembak ulung yang berpengalaman dengan meriam kapal. Senjatanya adalah ketapeldan memiliki banyak macam peluru. Dia juga bisa memanfaatkan keadaan untuk bertarung. Usopp juga seperti Zoro yang masih bisa hidup setelah kehilangan banyak darah (seperti ketika melawan Mr.4).

Keahliannya yang terhebat adalah berlari sangat cepat. Taktik bertarungnya adalah gerilya, setelah menyerang dari jauh langsung berlari. Amunisi dari ketapelnya sangat beragam, seperti telur busuk, bahan peledak, bom asap dan peluru normalnya, pachinko (bola besi yang digunakan untuk judi). Selain itu ada senjata lain yang termasuk senjata lelucon seperti palu 5 ton (yang sebenarnya cuma 2 kg), Usopp Noise (menggesekkan kuku ke papan yang bunyinya membuat telinga geli), Usopp Spell (meneriakkan kata-kata yang menakutkan), dan menggunakan Dial yang diperoleh dari Skypiea.

Usopp juga orang yang terampil, di kapalnya dia membuat ruangan bernama pabrik Usopp. Usopp juga yang paling menyayangi Going Merry dan memperbaikinya.

Jenis Serangan Usopp

• Hissatsu: Hammer Suisei Usopp menggunakan tanduk Chopper sebagai ketapel dan menembakkan palu dengan ini, digunakan saat melawan Mr. 4.
• Hissatsu: Kaen Boshi Usopp menembakkan peluru yang bisa membakar musuhnya. Digunakan saat melawan Chuu di arc Arlong Park.
• Kemuri Boshi Usopp menembakkan peluru yang bisa memunculkan kabut. Digunakan saat melawan Mr.4 dan saat melarikan diri dari Enies Lobby.
• Tabascho Boshi Usopp menembakkan peluru yang bisa membuat lawan kepedasan dengan cabe. Digunakan saat melawan Mr.5.

Trivia

• Usopp berumur 17 tahun dan lahir pada tanggal 1 April (hari April Fool)
• Bagian belakang kepala Usopp dapat dilihat di poster buronan Luffy.
• Menurut Eiichiro Oda, Usopp melambangkan binatang Armadillo.
• Menurut Eiichiro Oda lagi, panjang hidung Usopp adalah 9 inci.
• Terkadang jika takut, Usopp berbohong dengan mengatakan dia punya penyakit yang kambuh seperti penyakit Tidak-Bisa-Ikut-Pertandingan, Tidak-Bisa-Mendarat-Di-Pulau dan Jika-Tidak-Makan-Makanan-Kecil-Kau-Akan-Mati. Tentu saja (sangat) bohong.
• Eksperimen Usopp di laboratoriumnya menghasilkan alat-alat aneh seperti Usopp Aaaaaaaaah(sabuk yang bisa keluar tali secara otomatis) dan Oktopakutsu (sepatu gurita untuk memanjat dinding).
• Ironisnya, kebohongan Usopp yang diceritakan ke Kaya selalu menjadi kenyataan di Grand Line, seperti bertemu ikan mas raksasa (di Little Garden) dan bertemu tikus mondok legendaris (Miss.Merry Christmas). Mungkin suatu hari dia akan punya 8000 pengikut

Smoker

Tentang Smoker

Smoker the White Hunter (白猟のスモーカー, Haku Ryō no Sumōkā) is a Marine. He was first introduced in Loguetown, where he made it his mission to capture Monkey D. Luffy. He was initially introduced as a captain (大佐, Taisa) in his first appearance. As the story progressed, he was promoted to the rank of Commodore (准将, Junshō) due to the events in Arabasta.

Smoker is a muscular slight bluish-grey haired man, who carries the very distinct trait of always being seen smoking two cigars at once. He wears a large thick white and blue specialist Marine jacket which he keeps open with greenish fur lining neck, wrists and hem. Many cigars are strapped to the jacket which has the kanji for '"justice'" (正義, Seigi) written on the back of it. He used to carry aSeastone-tipped jutte as his weapon, until it was destroyed during the Battle of Marineford by Boa Hancock. He also wears brown leather gloves, blue jeans with a brown belt and large military issue brown leather boots.

In the manga, his hair has a white tone and the fur on his coat was initially blue, later changed to dark green, and ultimately modified to follow the anime, albeit with a much lighter green tone, and with green zips as well.

During his stay on an unknown island of the Grand Line, he was seen without his jacket, that he had a subordinate to carry for him. During this time, he was seen keeping his jutte strapped to his back via a series of belts. A scar was visible on the right side of his chest.

Personality

Smoker is a tough Marine, who when first introduced, was trying to track down Luffy in Loguetown. Unlike many other Marines in One Piece, Smoker does not follow the rule of Absolute Justice and follows his own brand of justice, which he later preaches to Tashigi. Smoker's view on justice also allows the Straw Hats to remain free even being pirates during the Arabasta Incident. He warned Luffy that as a Marine, next time, he would have tried and capture him. Smoker also didn't like taking credit in Arabasta for the Straw Hats' work in defeating Crocodile, telling the World Government to eat shit when they attempted to reward him for it. He also tends to hold grudges toward pirates who have escaped him. For example, he prepares to captureAce and is prepared for a big fight. However, after Luffy unexpectedly interrupts them and throws them through several walls, Smoker, as soon as he see's Luffy, barely acknowledges Ace. He merely shoves him into the ground and prepares to go after Luffy, who is his primary target. It seems Smoker doesn't like people who make too much noise around him, as he claims that it breaks his focus.^[3] Smoker also does not trust the Shichibukai as he sees them as nothing more than pirates. In fact, he is betrayed by Shichibukai two times during the story. His favoured weapon is a sea-stone tipped jutte.

Despite his stern, businesslike manner, he does seem to have a soft side. In Loguetown, when a little girl bumped into him and dropped her ice cream with 3 scoops on his trousers, he takes it in good heart. He even gives her money to buy a new cone with two extra scoops.^[4] He also shows respect and even protective kindness to his subordinate, Tashigi. Smoker also let Luffy go after he found out that Zoro was ordered by Luffy to save him from drowning; however he quickly lost his temper after Luffy made a stupid remark.

Relationships

Marines

Smoker has close ties with Hina as a personal friend due their days of training. Because they have known each other for a long time, Hina calls him Smoker-kun while Smoker adresses Hina by her name alone.

He has a close relationship with his subordinate Tashigi. However, he appears to act very harshly to her mistakes, such as confusing another soldier to Smoker due to her not wearing her glasses. Despite this, he's shown that he trust's her judgement, as seen when he tells her to follow her own sense of justice when she goes to Arabasta.

Smoker also seems to be on good terms with Aokiji, as he requested theAdmiral to deliver a message to Luffy, even though Aokiji did not in the end. Smoker also requested Aokiji to negotiate with Sengoku for a transfer to the more dangerous G-5 station in the New World.

He is not afraid to openly challenge the higher ranking generals within the Marines or World Government, going as far as to use a brutal insult in an attempt to reject a promotion that he did not want.

Enemies

He has a strong hatred for Luffy dating back to when Luffy managed to narrowly escape him at Loguetown. Ever since then, Smoker has been relentless in trying to capture Luffy. Even after Luffy ordered Zoro to save Smoker from drowning after escaping the Rainbase Hideout, Smoker still had the agenda to someday capture Luffy only repaying him by letting him go that one time. Smoker is even willing to go as far as to the New World to capture Luffy. Smoker is Luffy's longest running Marine foe to date. When Luffy was about to be executed by Buggy, Smoker saw the laugh Luffy gave off to mirror that of Gol D. Roger's twenty-two years ago, and considered Luffy to be a potential danger to the world. Smoker has always wondered why Dragon would save Luffy in Loguetown, until Sengoku made it public that Dragon is Luffy's father.

He also made an enemy of Ace during the Arabasta Arc while Smoker was trying to capture Luffy. Smoker simply states that he couldn't let a pirate such as Ace go so easily. But after Ace helped Luffy escape from Smoker, it is possible that Smoker may have held a grudge against Ace for that.

Even though the Shichibukai have allied with the World Government, Smoker, just like Sengoku and Kizaru, thinks they are nothing but pirates and cannot be trusted. Indeed, Smoker made an enemy of Crocodile after seeing Operation Utopia, and of Boa Hancock after she defended Luffy.

Abilities and Powers

Smoker is quite a formidable fighter, well above the level of an ordinary Commodore. This is primarily because his attitude has denied him promotions a more obedient soldier would have been granted; were he not so insubordinate, his rank would better reflect his fighting prowess. His Logia Devil Fruit powers also sets him apart from most Marines. He was on the verge of capturing Luffy on their first encounter in Loguetown, and would have succeeded had it not been for Luffy's father Monkey D. Dragon. After the Enies Lobby events, he was shown unsatisfied in capturing a pirate with a bounty of 50,000,000. When Luffy meets him again in Marineford, he comments that Smoker has gotten far stronger before being pinned to the ground. Smoker's overall strength has granted him enough confidence to ask for a reassignment to a station in the highly fearsome New World.

He is one of the few Marines that has ever beaten Luffy, the others being two high-ranking Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru as well as the brutishSentoumaru. As a result, Luffy resorts to running away from Smoker if he ever sees him. As evident of his strong build, Smoker possesses incredible physical strength: he was able to hold down Luffy with him being unable to retaliate, a noteworthy feat, considering Luffy's own inhuman physical power. He also has great endurance and resistance, as he was able to stand back up with no visible damage and without effort after receiving a kick from Boa Hancock, whose attacks are strong enough to shatter stone and Pacifistas armor (though Hancock's kick was primarily to get him off Luffy).

Smoker has both excellent hearing and memory, as shown during theArabasta arc when he tells Sanji to attack the third Bananawani that entered the room, since "that growl just now was the same as the one who ate the key". He has also shown great strategic capabilities, as he was able to plan in mere minutes the efficient assault on the pirates in the plaza during Buggy's attempt to kill Luffy.

Smoker is aware of the existence of Haki, though his exact knowledge in that area is unclear. So far, it seems unlikely that he can use it himself, as he requires his jutte to nullify opposing Devil Fruit powers.

Devil Fruit

Further information: Moku Moku no Mi

The Moku Moku no Mi in use.

Smoker has eaten the Moku Moku no Mi, a Logia typeDevil Fruit which allows him to create, control and become smoke. He can manipulate the smoke's density to make it thick or thin, allowing him to hold and constrict others within it. He can fly by turning his lower body into smoke and propelling himself like a rocket.

At this point, he doesn't appear to have any exploitable weakness (aside from the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses), due to his ability to be intangible.

With his current mastery over his powers, the only reliable way to injure Smoker is through the use of Haki, as Hancock did during their short battle, or through the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Using his smoke powers, Smoker can power up the engines of his motorbike, the Blower Bike, for on-land transportation.

Weapons

Smoker's Jutte strapped to his back.

Smoker's main weapon is a largejutte that is just as tall as him and is tipped with Seastone, a material that affects Devil Fruit users in a similar way to the sea (a person who consumes a Devil Fruit becomes weak and unable to move his or her body in the water, and Seastone is, in Smoker's own words, "a solidified form of the sea"), which he uses to subdue criminal Devil Fruit users.

Smoker holding his destroyed jutte.

Smoker seems to be very proficient in wielding the jutte, taking enemies by surprise and using the weapon to deliver strong blunt attacks. Since only the tip is seastone, it does not affect Smoker himself. He keeps the tip hanging in the air at all times, and his thick clothing provides further protection. When he turns into smoke, the weapon does not turn into smoke with him because of the seastone. Instead, he carries it with him while in smoke form.

The jutte was broken in half when Boa Hancock kicked it, which led it to crumble. It is unknown if he had it repaired or got a new one.

Its hilt is white in the manga, but red in the anime. Also, in the manga and in its related merchandise and products, it seems to be much longer than in the anime, almost reaching down to Smoker's feet. 

History

Early Life

Very little has been said about Smoker's past; what is known is that he joined the Marines at the same time as Hina. However, it appears that Hina has had to help Smoker before in situations where he was almost kicked out of the Marines.

Smoker was also present at Logue Town during Gol D. Roger's death.^[1]

Loguetown Arc

Smoker fights Luffy in Loguetown.

Some time prior to the current storyline, Smoker managed to becomeMarine Captain (大佐, Taisa), and was charged with the protection of Loguetown, the city in which the Pirate King was born, and then executed. Some citizens as well as some of his subordinates were apparently afraid of him, most likely because of hissmoke powers, his imposing appearance and his sharp manners; the Captain however seemed to care deeply for the inhabitants of the city, as seen when he didn't get angry when a little girl accidentally bumped on him, spoiling her ice-cream on one leg of his pants. He instead gave the girl money to buy a bigger ice-cream. When Buggy was preparing Luffy's execution, he reached the plaza with his men, and when the execution-platform was destroyed by a lightning, he captured Buggy and his crew with his smoke powers. He then chased after Luffy on his Blower Bike, and was able to reach him, near the town's entrance. There, he rapidly dispatched Sanji, and then got into a small duel with the Straw Hat captain. Luffy was clearly at a disadvantage, and the only reason he and his crew were able to get away is because of the mysterious "Revolutionary," Dragon, Luffy's father, who appeared to cause a freak storm. Nevertheless, Smoker set out after Luffy (along with his subordinate, Tashigi), abandoning his post in Loguetown. From witnessing Luffy's near-execution at the hands of Buggy, he believes there is something special about him, since he was smiling and seemed happy (just as Gol D. Roger had) even though he was about to die. Because he is convinced of Luffy's uniqueness, Smoker is determined to see that the "Straw-Hat Pirate" faces justice.

Arabasta Arc

Smoker tracked Luffy all the way to Arabasta, where he met the second pirate to ever escape his clutches: Portgas D. Ace, Luffy's older brother. He met Ace in a small cafe in Nanohana. Ace has the Mera Mera no Mi Logia type Devil Fruit, and when matched against Smoker's smoke abilities, the two men fought to a draw, though this is due more to the fact that their powers have no real effect on the other as they naturally go hand in hand, then them being of equal strength.

Smoker decides to let Straw Hats escape.

He later continues his chase with the Straw Hats, but ends up getting caught with them in a cage trap set up by Crocodile. When Sanji comes he helps find Mr. 3 who frees them. Just when everybody is about to drown Luffy tells Zoro to save Smoker even though he is an enemy. Once out of the trap, Smoker tells Luffy to go to Arabasta, but next time they meet, they will battle.

After the Arabasta arc, and the fall of Baroque Works, the Marines officially declared Smoker as the one who defeated Crocodile, one of theShichibukai. This was done to cover up the fact that Crocodile had, in fact, been defeated by a pirate. Smoker, however, angrily and in not so polite terms, refused both the medals and promotions the Marines offered him and Tashigi. He even openly admitted that it was Luffy and his crew that truly defeated Crocodile and Baroque Works, but they refused to listen to him.

Post Skypiea Arc

He later gave Admiral Aokiji a message for Luffy, which Aokiji forgot until after he had beaten Luffy. Aokiji claims that Smoker's message was too stupid to tell (Luffy wouldn't have heard it anyway as he was frozen at the time), but the actual message has yet to be heard.

Post-Enies Lobby

Smoker tells Tashigi about their need of attaining higher ranks.

After the Enies Lobby incident Smoker was seen on an island in the Grand Line, capturing an unnamed pirate with a bounty of 50,000,000. Both he and Tashigi had gotten promoted since they were last seen - he was ranked up toCommodore (准将, Junshō).

He told Tashigi that in order to go on chasing the Straw Hat Pirates they needed better rank: he explained that they would go to New World to crush them. He also had on his chest a scar that did not exist during the Arabasta Arc.

Marineford War Arc

Smoker and Tashigi, arriving at Marineford.

When the execution of Portgas D. Ace was announced, Smoker reported to the summoning of the Marines to reinforceMarineford.^[5]

Three hours before Ace's execution, he was seen with Tashigi listening to Sengoku's speech about Ace's past.

He was stunned along with Tashigi to see Crocodile amongst the members of Luffy's newly-gathered expedition to save Ace.

Sengoku's revelation of Luffy being Dragon's son had finally made Smoker understand why the Leader of the Revolutionaries saved the Straw Hat pirate in Loguetown.

Smoker attacking Luffy with his jutte at Marineford.

Later, Smoker decided to confront Luffy. Luffy stood up, and tried to defeat him with a Jet Gatling Gun. Smoker just commented that he was still unable to strike him despite his growth and held Luffy down with his jutte. Boa Hancock, in anger, intervened and threatened him, ignoring his query as to whether or not she intended to abandon her title as a Shichibukai. Smoker was curious as to how Hancock hit him when he was not solid and then came to the conclusion it was due to the Kuja Haki. He attempted to chase after Luffy, but was barred by Hancock who broke his jutte and ignored his warnings of what her actions could mean.

Smoker and Tashigi are later seen retreating to the plaza as Sengoku was about to execute the final stages of his plan. After the death of Portgas D. Ace, he is seen condemning the marines still fighting against the pirates as their objective had been completed. After the arrival of Shanks, Smoker is seen standing down with the other marines.

Post-War Arc

Smoker and Aokiji discuss the recent events.

After the war, he is seen in Aokiji's office, talking with him and asking about his reassignment to the G-5 Marine base in the New World, while brushing off the recent news of Luffy infiltrating Marineford to ring the Ox Bell 16 times.

Anime and Manga differences

Young Smoker witnesses the Pirate King's execution, as seen in the anime.

In the anime, the subplot on Smoker's backstory he mentions about Gol D. Roger is expanded on in Logue Town. However, in the manga, Smoker's comment on Roger were merely just a passing comment and only Roger's face is seen. In the manga his hair color is pure white, as opposed to his bluish-grey color in the anime. The fur on his jacket was initially blue, but was later changed to green to follow the anime.

editTranslation and Dub Issues

In the 4Kids version of the anime, Smoker's cigars are removed, and smoke comes out of his mouth due to the power of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit. Although his mouth is almost always opened a little where the cigars should be. Because of this, he is renamed 'Chaser'. However, Smoker in the English video games One Piece: Grand Battle and One Piece: Grand Adventure has his cigars strapped to his coat, despite the previous editing. Additionally, his power was changed from smoke to steam.

Another change made to Smoker in the 4Kids dub was removing the kanji for "justice" on the back of his jacket, which is also left in the video games.

Merchandise

Smoker has been the choice character in many forms of merchandise. He has been featured in the series of models Portrait of Pirates
