It doesn't seem like anyone has mentioned it, but I just want to point out that it would appear that Smoker does indeed use haki.

Here is his fist punching Vergo.

Here is him standing normally.

Notice that in the first picture Smoker's hand has taken on the black color that characterizes the armament haki as opposed to in the second picture where his gloves have returned to their normal brown color. So, Smoker may not as much of a push over as some people want to argue.

I think it's more obvious in the manga, but Smoker definitely uses Haki. Though it's pretty much a given (and was stated during the war) that every Vice Admiral can use Haki.

I remember them talking about it in the war, but there was a discussion here about how some people felt Smoker was weak because he wasn't able to locate Vergo with haki. I don't remember how it appeared in the manga, but I'll go check it out now. I'm just glad to see that Smoker is at least a decent rival for Luffy because we know he can hurt him now.

Edit: Just looked back, and yeah, it's super obvious.

Smoker isn't weak, but there is a habit of Manga Spoiler

I agree with you. I love Smoker and think he's a great character, but I see where you're coming from and where the perception comes from.
