We don't know, because he hasn't fought them yet. That's about all you can say. 19:37, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

An Admiral and Smoker are not the same, I think he can tie/barely beat Smoker but would lose against an Admiral. 19:58, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

You're forgetting that Oda likes to let his characters exceed expectations. I think that Luffy's on par with a young Gold Rodger now that he has decent Haki control. He still has a lot of growing left to do, but I'm betting that Smoker doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating him. Regular admirals and weak shichibuka may give him a challenge later in the series, but only the toughest guys in the storyline are capable of beating him now.

Well you have to remember that Smoker also as a recurring opponent is getting stronger, he is supposedly the Garp counter part. And what do you mean by, "Regular admirals and weak shichibuka"? 23:10, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
