[Smoker's not sure how much he believes any of this, it all could be an elaborate plot by one of the pirate emperors on one of their islands further on the Grand Line, though, he very much doubts any of them would be foolhardy enough to kidnap him, and still leave him a pair of seastone cuffs and his jitte. And if it was Kaidou, there's no way X Drake would leave Smoker running free and unhindered. But any of the Emperors usually felt most secure on their own islands, surrounded by their own people, so it could just be arrogance to sell the illusion. Still, whether fake or not, best to play along for now until he could prove otherwise.]

[And the best way to get information? Was to ask as bluntly as Smoker ever did. You'd be amazed at what pirates would give away if you just asked.]

Three things. [He holds up 3 fingers.] One, where can I get an endless supply of good cigars? [And he means good. And endless. He's smoking two at a time, they'll go quickly.] Secondly, what's the nearest bar? And thirdly, what is there for law enforcement or bounty hunting opportunities around here? [Because if he was kidnapped to play toy hunter for someone....]

[Might as well see what or who they wanted him to hunt, really.]

[And the idea that he might just be announcing to all the criminals that he was coming? Yeah, he knows, he prefers it that way.]

[Smoker doesn't know what he was expecting, but that was just too funny to him.]

[And he cracks up.]

I don't.

[It's true mostly, but he thinks of Luffy and Law. Maybe they already are.]

[Ace narrows his eyes.

He's not sure whether to believe Smoker or not but either way]

I'm out of here.

[so you just keep your weird maybe befriending Marine cooties to yourself]

[Waves.] Thanks for showing me your favorite bar, punk-gas. [That was the worst ever attempt to fuse Portgas with something.]

[WORST EVER.]

[It sounds too much like he's talking about Caesar.]

[He'll call Ace fire-punk or something next time jeez.]

[.... Not there there will be a next time.]

[Comes back and wails him with a right cross]

[Action]

[justicereigns]

[Laughs though...]

[It was a good retort.]

[And less clumsy than any of Luffy's attempts.]
