Power smoking

After Smoker became the talk of the seas following the defeat of a massive pirate fleet, rumors spread quickly among the great pirates. Smoker's brutality in battle stirred mixed emotions of fear and amazement among the pirate leaders of the New World. Smoker's brutal actions spread like wildfire, with each incident adding to his reputation as one of the strongest and fiercest fighters in the Navy.

But among the pillars of the great pirates, the news had a different impact. The four Yonko were the most attentive to what was happening at sea.

At Big Mom's HQ:

"Smoker… this young man, still at the beginning of his journey, wiped out an entire fleet of pirates as if they were nothing but bugs!" said Big Mom, sitting on her throne, her eyes wide with anger as she held a wine glass. "I can already smell the chaos this man will bring to the world."

"He certainly has a unique ability, but his actions are unreliable. I don't think this kind of justice will last long," one of her subordinates said as he watched closely. "If he continues this way, he will lose everything in the end."

But Big Mom chuckled mockingly. "He relies on overwhelming power, maybe this won't last forever, but for now, it will be fun watching this surge in the pirate world. We must keep our eyes on him."

At Kaido's Palace:

At Kaido's palace, the atmosphere was tenser. Kaido himself stood by a large window, watching the sea from a distance, while his subordinates spoke about the recent events.

"Smoker, isn't he the one who stopped an entire fleet of pirates?" one of them asked. "Seems like the seas are starting to fill with troublesome characters."

"Yes, but we know everyone has a weakness. Smoker might be brutal, but he's unstable," another leader said, attempting to analyze the situation. "If he keeps down this path, he will make the seas react against him. The justice Smoker follows could become a double-edged sword."

Kaido gazed at the sky, then lowered his eyes back to the ground, deep in thought. "He's not like the pirates we know. This man kills without mercy, and the more pirates he kills, the more dangerous the sea becomes. If he becomes a real threat, we will need to rein him in. But for now, let's watch a bit longer."

At Whitebeard's Island:

On Whitebeard's island, Edward Newgate, known as Whitebeard, was speaking with his crew while standing in his usual position. The sky was full of clouds, as if reflecting his serious expression.

"Smoker… it seems he won't stop killing anyone who stands in his way," Whitebeard said in a low voice, staring at the sea. "He's gone too far by killing pirates mercilessly. This kind of justice… can't end well."

"Yes, Smoker is starting to show himself as a real threat to both sailors and pirates alike," one of his crew members said. "But do you think he will stay on this path?"

"It's hard to say, but he will face many challenges along the way," Whitebeard replied, lifting his head to the sky. "I know there's no room for mercy in the sea, but the justice Smoker pursues is not too different from the brutality of the pirates he hunts."

Whitebeard was playing the chord of harsh justice, but his mind was busy calculating the costs.

"He's a very strong young man, but excessive power might end up being his downfall," he continued, turning toward his crew, who was listening intently. "Perhaps he'll serve our goals in the future, but for now… we wait and watch."

At Shanks' Island:

Meanwhile, Shanks was speaking calmly with his crew during dinner in a quiet place.

"Smoker… the one who seems to have no mercy, and now even pirates fear him," Shanks said as he gazed at the sea while sipping from his cup. "But there's something about this young man I like. Unrestrained power, iron will, those are the traits that make me follow his steps. But is he ready to pay the price for that power?"

"That's the challenge, right?" one of his crew members said. "When he starts losing control over the justice he follows, he could become a bigger threat than the pirates themselves."

"Yes, we'll wait and see," Shanks replied with a soft smile. "But make sure we stay out of his way. We won't face him unless we have to."

As the great pirates continued to observe Smoker, each of them shared the same feeling: Smoker could become a real threat in the future. With each new attack he launched, and every pirate he wiped out, his name shone brighter in the skies of the seas, presenting a challenge to the one force that could balance between chaos and justice.

Each of these great pirates wondered: Would Smoker become the greatest threat to sailors, or would he remain just a memory in the great battlefield?

But in the end, the clear answer from e

ach of them was: "We'll find out soon enough."
