Nanashaku Jitte

The Nanashaku Jitte is Smoker's primary weapon. It is a jitte whose tip is made of Kairoseki, which Smoker uses to suppress Devil Fruit users' powers in order to capture them. The weapon was effortlessly destroyed by Boa Hancock when she kicked it to pieces after petrifying it. Two years after its destruction, Smoker is seen wielding the staff once again, apparently repaired or replaced.

Abilities
As the jitte is tipped with Kairoseki, it can be used to nullify Devil Fruit powers simply by contact. Smoker uses this to his advantage to strike such opponents, as well as to stop them by sapping them of their powers and mobility. He uses it in conjunction with his Moku Moku no Mi powers to get close to his opponents in order to make his strike land. Because of its composition, the jitte does not transform into smoke along with Smoker.

Anime and Manga Differences
In the manga it's pure white, while in the anime it was first introduced with a metallic gray body and a brown hilt. This was later correct after the timeskip, in episode 572, to match the manga color scheme.

Trivia

 * The jitte (also known as a jutte, both meaning "Ten Hand") is a weapon used by Japanese law enforcers, which fits Smoker's status as a Marine officer perfectly.
 * A shaku is a measurement unit in Japan, one shaku being 10/33 meters. Based on the name (seven shaku), the jitte is 2.12 meters in length.
