Forum:Do you think luffys relationship with smoker could end up like the one between garp and roger

I am very glad this was asked. I actually didn't want to create a conversation on this yet but I actually have kind of thought about this. Now Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp supposedly had a relationship on the seas where Roger was constantly cornered with no escape and Garp almost had him brought to justice. And it appears Smoker and Luffy has the same thing going. Now ultimately yes I think it will be that but here's kind of something that bothers right now with Luffy and Smoker, Roger and Garp were both D's when their cat and mouse game was going on. Now we only know Smoker's name is of course Smoker. We don't know if what his full name is. I can't help but wonder if Smoker is actually a D. Now Oda has stated not every strong character is a D. But for some reason i feel like Smoker could easily be a D. I understand Oda will always pull a quick one on us with plots but I want to know what Smoker's full name is. And to kind of go back on the topic, I think yes Luffy and Smoker will ultimately be a repeat of Roger/Garp. Feel free to disagree with me but that's my thoughts on this. -Langland

I agree-tyke

I seriously doubt this. It would be kinda cool, i agree. But the fact Smoker got beaten so easily and fast vs Law gives me the feeling, that it won't happen.

Law is a very strong guy, with a kinda overpowered ability. But i still think Luffy has more to offer thah him, which pretty much speaks for itself, that Luffy kicks Smokers butt kinda easy, too.

And the relationship bewteen Roger and Garp was not : "Trololol I am the pirate king and kick your marine ass".

They were pretty even in strength.

This is not given with Luffy and Smoker. Smoker has to enhance his strength a lot to be dangerous for Luffy.

Dont underestimate smoker he is up against Law who has a strong ability and must have goten alot stronger in two years like luffy ,i think law and luffy are probably about equal strength and smoker is justweaker than both of them.So unless smoker gets stronger i dont think he could have a garp-roger relationwith luffy.
