That's why. We tried to avoid each other, but the Malnosso get other ideas.
I don't intend to hunt him. Here or there. [Well, he can't at home, but whatever.] This is just the only place where anything can get resolved with it. Has to get resolved, whether we like it or not. [And... Smoker doesn't hate it. Actually, it's a lot less stressful this way. But hardly something he'll admit. He realizes that doesn't completely answer the question, if anything, it's just more repetitive. But it's difficult to explain how things are with him and Portgas. With Straw Hat, he's going to catch the brat no matter what, but not here in Luceti. It wouldn't count here, and it's moot. With Luffy's big brother... it's a mess. Even straightening out the mess is still a mess.]
I'll explain it better some other time in the future. Remind me of it and ask again.
