Introduction

The latest chapter ofOne Piece, Chapter 1078, has sparked a lot of discussions among fans, especially regarding the long-absent Vice Admiral Smoker and the legendary Iron Giant. With the Navy’s Vice Admiral Smoker (G-5 Base Commander) not appearing for a while, many speculate on his next appearance, possibly in locations like Egghead, Pirate Island Hachinosu, or the Cross Guild. The anticipation is palpable as we delve into the implications of these potential appearances.

Smoker’s Current Status

Smoker’s last appearance in the main story was in Chapter 793, during the Dressrosa arc. He was seen recovering from injuries sustained from Doflamingo while escorting children rescued from Punk Hazard to Dr. Vegapunk’s research facility. Since then, the story has progressed through arcs like Zou, Whole Cake Island, Wano, and now Egghead. The question remains: what has Smoker been up to during the events of the World Conference? It is unclear whether he was on a mission or simply absent from the action.

Possible Locations for Smoker’s Return

• Egghead
• Pirate Island Hachinosu
• Cross Guild

With the recent developments in the story, Smoker’s return could be tied to significant characters like Luffy, Kuzan, or Crocodile. The narrative hints at a meaningful reappearance, especially with the recent bounty on Coby, which has implications for Smoker’s involvement.

The Cross Guild Connection

As Coby has been captured and is now a target for the Cross Guild, it raises the possibility that Smoker may also be involved with this group. The Cross Guild, formed by Buggy, Mihawk, and Crocodile, has been gaining notoriety, and Smoker’s connection to this group could lead to intriguing developments in the story.

G-5 Base and Its Implications

The G-5 base, where Smoker was stationed, has a reputation for being a lawless group within the Navy. This could play a crucial role in the upcoming arcs, especially with the potential for Smoker to take on a leadership role in the G-5 base after the departure of Vergo. The dynamics within the Navy and the G-5 base could lead to significant confrontations in the future.

Conclusion

As we await the next chapters, the speculation surrounding Smoker’s return and the legendary Iron Giant continues to build excitement. Fans are eager to see how these elements will intertwine with the ongoing narrative. Stay tuned for more updates and theories!
