Boy these chapters just continue to add more questions. I would agree that it looks like smiley dying produced the devil fruit, which then begs the question is this similar to how Teach got the DF from Whitebeard? Maybe eating all those pies made him into a giant fruit, LOL.

The Chopper note I'm going to guess came from Nami or Ussop. Since we haven't seen them in this chapter I'm guessing they ran to the shelter and Nami, being the great thief she is, broke in. With the ending though I'm guessing the next chapter is goign to be much more action packed.
