Over time, Smoker began to contemplate his powers more deeply. He had sensed the limits of his ability to control smoke and decided to surpass those boundaries. Initially, his Devil Fruit was merely a tool for close combat and evasion, but Smoker knew there were undiscovered potentials within his abilities. He had an intense desire to transform into something more powerful than just "smoke," becoming an unstoppable force.
Smoker began his daily training, dedicating long hours to understanding the finer details of his "Momo no Mi" (Smoke Fruit) more deeply. While observing the clouds in the sky, a completely new idea struck him. What if he could combine his control over smoke with atmospheric elements, such as clouds and weather, to create entirely new weapons?
It was a bold and unconventional idea. Smoker didn't just want to make his ability to control smoke stronger; he sought to make it interact with the world around him in unprecedented ways. He began experimenting on a small scale, attempting to harness the latent energy in the clouds and transform it into a form he could control, like massive fists or giant swords made of smoke.
At first, his attempts failed. He struggled to make the smoke interact with the clouds consistently. However, gradually, he began to notice improvements in his ability to merge smoke with the weather. He learned how to transform regular clouds into giant swords, or massive smoke fists that could travel long distances and strike enemies from afar.
"Sky Smoke" Technique:
After months of relentless training, Smoker created a new technique he called "Sky Smoke." This technique allowed him to control not only the smoke emanating from his body but also the smoke in the atmosphere and the clouds themselves. He could now create massive swords made of smoke and clouds that sliced through the air at high speeds, cutting anything in their path. He also gained the ability to form enormous smoke fists that would move across the sky and strike distant targets.
"Smoke isn't just a means of escape; it's a weapon for combat!" Smoker thought to himself as he watched his giant swords burst forth from the clouds.
The impact of this new technique wasn't limited to his enemies alone; it also made a significant impact within the Navy. Senior officers began to notice changes in Smoker, and they heard about his new techniques, which were impressing them. Some began to question whether Smoker had become the strongest force in the Navy after Akainu, and some even began calling for his promotion to higher ranks.
The Complete Transformation:
As Smoker continued to develop his technique, he felt he had reached a new level of awareness regarding his powers. His role was no longer limited to simply following orders or fighting pirates; he now realized that his Devil Fruit wasn't just a combat tool—it was a symbol of power no one had ever known before. His control over smoke had become more flexible, and he was able to make significant changes in battle from a distance, without having to approach his enemies.
In a major battle against a group of pirates on a remote island, Smoker used "Sky Smoke" to turn the clouds into giant smoke swords, which destroyed the pirates' ships and forced them to surrender within minutes.
As he observed the results, he smiled proudly. "The sky is now part of my power. There will be nothing that can stand in my way."
Conclusion:
Smoker had now become not only a leader in the Navy but also a transformative force in the concepts of power and justice. Thanks to his Devil Fruit and his ability to develop his technique, Smoker had become a force to be reckoned with, attacking his enemies from long distances and defeating them from the sky itself. No matter how others tried to limit his power, it was clear that Smoker had entered a new stage of evolution, a stage that no one could
ignore.
