Smoker deserves his VA title because he is powerful, just not as powerful as DD/Law/Vergo.

They had to make Vergo more powerful then Smoker to Make Law look seriously powerful and Smoker had to get ownd by DD to make the dressora arc more interesting and exciting.

but smoker is still a powerful motherf**ker
