I would prefer that it never comes to a serious showdown between Smoker and Luffy. I like the current relationship between the two, him being Luffy's personal nemesis - but still never able to "finish the job". Similar to Garp cornering Roger several times, developing a friendship-like connection in the process. By the way, I would not worry about Smoker losing his Logia defense, he too is constantly training his skills. The incident with Hancock could be the impulse to train Haki like the admirals (they are semi-immune to it).

I can already picture the next meeting, the overconfident Luffy trying to hit him - but to his surprise it still doesn't work and needs to start running (again!)

For Coby, I couldn't care less (sorry).
