Appearance

He is a muscular man with grey hair who is always seen smoking a couple of cigars at a time, which, together with his skill, means that he is perpetually surrounded by a grey cloud of a stuffy atmosphere. He wears a jacket with the characteristic cape of high-ranking marines (white, with gold shoulder pads, and the word "Justice" written on the back) although much shorter than usual, with a much fluffier appearance and with a green lining that can be seen on the collar; he wears nothing else under the jacket, apart from a pair of jeans. He always wears a kind of black string, identical to the belts used to carry ammunition, which in this case is intended to be filled with cigars. He also wears leather gloves and boots. On his back he carries his jitte made of sea stone. When the Straw Hat Pirates' bounties came to light after the events at Enies Lobby, he was briefly seen naked from the waist up, with the jitte still on his back; a sizable scar can be seen on his exposed chest. After the timeskip, his hair is longer and slicked back. He also wears sunglasses and has a scar on his right eye. He wears the standard high-ranking Navy officer's crest on top of his jacket and a new jitte behind it, and his eyes are also shown to have brown irises.

Personality

He is a tough man, though unlike many other Marines he does not follow the ideals of "Absolute Justice" and "Under Any Circumstances"; instead he is guided by his own set of values. In Arabasta, after Crocodile was captured and Baroque Works fell due to the intervention of the Straw Hats, the World Government credited Smoker, his subordinate Tashigi, and the division under his command for these achievements. This attempt by the government to conceal the truth greatly angered Smoker, and the fact that he was being given credit for things that were not his due infuriated him. He can be described as a stubborn, grumpy and very proud man, as demonstrated by the fact that on the few occasions when a pirate escapes from his control (as happened with Ace in Arabasta) a tremendous rage engulfs him completely; to the point that he immediately abandons all his activities and ignores the rest of his obligations, to dedicate himself entirely to the task of hunting them down. This is exactly what happened with Luffy, since since he and his crew were able to escape by the skin of their teeth from the city of Loguetown before it could catch him, he abandoned his position on said island and dedicated himself to following its movements across all seas. In addition, like Sengoku and Kizaru, he is not very sympathetic to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, since he was betrayed by two of its members. Despite his menacing appearance and his tough appearance, he has shown some sensitivity at times. In Loguetown, a girl, Yu, tripped over him and stained him with the ice cream she was holding. When the girl looked at his face, she was frightened by his appearance and, frightened, began to hastily apologize to him; but far from getting angry, Smoker apologized for having ruined her ice cream and gave her money to buy a new one.

But if there is one thing that Smoker has proven over time, it is that he is a fair man. He treats his subordinates with the same respect as his equals, he has never abused his position, and he acts fairly even when it comes to punishing or arresting criminals. Surely the best example that outlines this is his attitude after the Straw Hats saved him from drowning in Arabasta; since after Luffy ordered Zoro to get him out of the water, his troops came ready to arrest the pirates, however Smoker ordered them to lower their weapons and allowed them to flee, thus paying off his debt. He has also instilled this way of acting in his subordinate Tashigi, who, upon realizing in the midst of the Arabasta civil war that the Straw Hats' true objective was not to foment chaos, but to stop the revolts, not only did they not capture them but they helped them achieve their objective. And as expected from a man of his position, Smoker stands out for his bravery and courage. In fact, his audacity is such that he does not hesitate to contradict his superiors in the Navy or the Government when he disagrees with their orders, and has even gone so far as to openly insult them in an attempt to reject a promotion following Crocodile's imprisonment. Smoker also believes that in order to catch his enemies it is better to have them close, which is why he asks Kuzan to be transferred to the G-5 base since it has a strategic position to capture any pirate crew that crosses the Red Line, and to be prepared to pursue the Straw Hats, but changing his strategy to achieve his goal.

Skills and Powers

As a Vice Admiral, he has authority over all those below him in rank. He is a formidable fighter and his fighting ability has always been far greater than any Marine of his same rank, being seen as one of the two most powerful Marines in the G-5, alongside Vergo. At Loguetown, he nearly stopped Luffy during their first encounter, and would have succeeded if it weren't for Luffy's father, Monkey D. Dragon. After the events of Enies Lobby, he was shown to be dissatisfied with capturing a 50,000,000 pirate. When Luffy confronted him again at Marineford, he commented that Smoker became much stronger before being pinned to the ground. Smoker's overall strength has granted him enough confidence to request a transfer to the G-5 in the much feared New World. Marines of this branch are said to be insane, cruel, and merciless that they stick needles into pirates, are fed to sharks, or used as firewood. After the time skip, Smoker was able to easily cross the entrance to the New World and arrive at Punk Hazard. Smoker and his crew managed to capture a few pirates who were freed from Hody's control. During his time at Punk Hazard, he managed to put up a fight with Trafalgar Law before he was ultimately defeated. Even when he switched to Tashigi's body, he managed to beat up Luffy. In addition to him being out of his original body, he easily defeated some of Caesar Clown's subordinates. He was also able to fight Vergo on relatively equal terms despite Vergo's superior mastery of Haki, and Smoker's real goal was to retrieve Law's heart. However, he was easily defeated by another Warlord of the Sea, Donquixote Doflamingo.

Devil Fruit

Smoker ate the Moku Moku no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that gives him the ability to turn into and generate smoke, and can also change the density of the smoke to trap people and/or objects with it. As with almost all Logia Fruits, it makes him immune to physical attacks without Busoshoku Haki. The aforementioned abilities were what allowed him to capture all the pirates that entered Loguetown.

Right

As a vice admiral, Smoker possesses haki. Kenbunshoku Haki: Smoker is capable of using Kenbunshoku Haki, although his mastery of this type of Haki is still unknown. Busoshoku Haki: Smoker has been seen using Busoshoku Haki, hardening parts of his body to strengthen his attacks.

Weapons

His primary weapon is the seastone-tipped Nanashaku Jitte slung over his back; with it Luffy was left at Smoker's mercy, although it was turned to stone at Marineford by Hancock and broke. Two years later, what appears to be a new one is seen on his back when he interrogates the pirates, although it is broken by Vergo.

Sexuality

Gay, only attracted to men, loves men.
