Switching hearts to switch personae is only metaphoric. He removed Smoker's physical heart, which is just a blood pump. It's rather interesting he can switch personalities at all between bodies. In physical terms that would require switching brains, which would be quite a feat, especially between men and women who even have different average brain volumes, and in One Piece the head volumes are regularly vastly varying. So, likely he's not switching brains but metaphysical souls.Originally Posted by DarthEnderX
I'm actually exceedingly happy the whole crew was not affected. Now it seems like a part of the bigger story (like it was, Law making sure they don't escape too far with the children if they want to get back into their original bodies) and not just a worn-out comedy plot element.
I saw some fan art of Smoker in Tashigi's body before, but I didn't even realise it was canon. But then again, I should count myself lucky to have forgotten it and thus not being minorly spoiled. I wonder if there can be any kind of heated meeting between Tashigi and Zoro anymore under these circumstances...
