User blog:Dettles/Sorry about my earlier post.

Sorry for my earlier saying Smoker not being strong. What I was trying to as was and another commenter stated was I feel that Smoker does have the power to be a VA. But in two years practically stepping the RA rank I didn't think it was a good move. I think fans are trying to have Smoker to be this generation Garp. And I agree but the story of one piece is still far from over and I would like to see Smoker grow as a character as the story progresses. Him being VA now just when Luffy finally is able to fight him evenaly I think is not fair to luffy. I was not saying Smoker was weak by any means what I was trying to say is I think he rose the ranks to quicky compared to other characters.
