Smoker

Smoker is a marine officer in the One Piece series. He is often assisted and accompanied by his subordinate, Tashigi. Years before the story, he joined the World Government marines around the same time as Hina. He was stationed in Loguetown, the town where Gol D. Roger was born and executed. Smoker was feared by some of the town's civilian population, but he cared deeply for them. Just as Buggy was preparing to publicly execute Luffy, he planned for the pirates to exhaust themselves, and then capture Luffy. But Sanji and Zoro arrived to help Luffy escape. As they escaped, Smoker tried to stop them. However, a man named Dragon made a gust of wind to allow Luffy's dash to freedom. From that point on, Smoker would pursue Luffy wherever he was going.

One of the few times he let Luffy escape was in Alabasta, albeit willingly.

At Marineford, during the Summit War, Smoker tried to fight and end Luffy's life, only to be bested by Boa Hancock. When Sengoku was in the final stages of his plans, Smoker retreated. Smoker would later be promoted to vice admiral during the timeskip.

Fighting Style
Smoker ate the Plume-Plume Fruit, a Logia-type Devil Fruit giving him the ability to turn into smoke, as well as create near-limitless amounts of smoke and manipulate it. He also wields a melee weapon, the Nanashaku Jitte, whose tip is crafted out of Sea Stone, a substance that weakens Devil Fruit users when it comes into contact with them.

His fighting style consists of him turning his limbs into smoke and then elongating them, therefore extending his effective combat range. He can also change the density of his smoke freely, allowing him to entrap enemies in it and immobilize them. This also allows him to make his smoke dense enough for him to use it for physical strikes. Many of his smoke attacks leave enemies in the smoke effect, in which they are trapped in the smoke while in mid-air and cannot move, allowing Smoker to perform follow-up attacks on them. By transforming his lower body into smoke and propelling himself, Smoker can achieve flight and can remain mobile.
