Smoker had never lost before reaching the New World. In the early days, he was strong enough to wipe the floor with Luffy, but after arriving in the New World, he became the king of consecutive defeats.
Was this Smoker's fate? He had set sail from Loguetown, full of ambition and carrying the banner of justice, only to encounter Crocodile's schemes in Alabasta.
He could glimpse the will of heaven, but the road ahead was full of cliffs and ravines. With no way forward, he seemed to have been abandoned by the times.
Then Cheng Yu transmigrated, becoming the new Smoker.
A man has to climb higher. He had a new perspective on things.
If he wanted his ideals to avoid being trampled so easily, he would have to fight his way upstream through this deeply flawed system.
He no longer scoffed at rules and regulations. To gain greater freedom, he would have to become a key cog in the organization.
If fate whispers to me, "You cannot withstand the storm,"
then I'll stand tall, straighten my back, and shout back, "I am the storm!"
This is a tale of rising to power, a battlefield where martial arts, swordsmanship, Haki, and Devil Fruits intertwine, and a clash that sparks an industrial revolution...

I think since we traveled through time, we should change the names.
Isn't it too rigorous? Do you think the readers are fools?
