if Smoker gets kick out of the Marines, Cody can become the next Garp.

Going back to Dofla's sphere of influence, while I do agree that he most likely doesn't have absolute control over the WG from the shadows, we still don't really know for sure just how far up their ranks his connections reach. I mean, the guy could have moles working for him in ALL the government branches aside from the marines (like Cipher Pol, Impel Down, etc.). That's why I say that it may be possible for him to have any evidence that point towards him being the big, bad mastermind altered/destroyed in the blink of an eye in case any of his plots fail. But once again, this depends on just how much control he has over the government from the shadows.....
Also, I really don't see Smoker going rogue anytime soon, let alone joining the Straw-Hats. Story-wise, it wouldn't make much sense for him to get kicked out of the marines so soon after he was revealed to have become a VA. With Aokiji it was alright since we've known him as an admiral who upheld moral justice from the beginning, but Smoker is a bit of a different story..... |

1) Story plot or number of arcs 2) Time for the manga characters 3) Half the crew is assembled Although most likely it was just a way to indicate that we are now in the serious plot advancement stage of the story. e.g. the arcs before were the build up and random encounters that start most manga |

Exactly. The manga will last as long as Oda is interested in it, and it is profitable. No more and no less. Trying to determine end dates based on oblique references in translated magazine Q&As is generally pointless.

I never claimed otherwise. And no, using said references is not pointless seeing as how they hold credibility. What else are we to go by? Not to mention it's also a matter of using logic. But again, we'll see in due time.
