Smoker not being shown as one of the nine Vice Admirals on the Marine fleet incoming is worrying to me.
Doesn’t the marine headquarter know that Smoker has shown to be soft towards Luffy a few times? I would find it weird if they send specifically him to attack Luffy. If Smoker appears then I would guess he is hidden on some ship or something like that.

It’s certainly possible that the Marines intentionally didn’t send Smoker because of their history.
I don’t think he’s the type of character to stow away like that. If he’s not officially part of the mission he would just go on his own I think.
Time will tell, but I’m not hopeful.
