[Thief, and go on a head and be biased. He doesn't mind, because he's only similar to Luffy in approach to conflict and mentality. They're very different otherwise, and Lupin almost wanted to yell at Smoker for the comparison when he finally met Luffy.]

It's the best thing to hope for, but you're probably right. Smoker left a few months back, and returned a week later with a few more scars, a much higher rank, and two years on him. None of us should have to live in a cage, though, so I'm gonna hope that Luffy stays on his ocean. It's the best place for him.
