YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH!!! There's no point in fighting anymore! There's no point in killing! It's over! We won! We can end this! These are human lives, THIS IS WRONG!! They have families, children, they're our friends and we're watching them die!! We killed Ace! Whitebeard is dead! The pirates don't have the will to fight anymore! What are we trying to prove?! What's the point?! There are wounded men out there! We can save them if we stop fighting!! But no, we're just making more victims, more casualties! Those marines have nothing to be proud of!! Why are they dying?! WHAT ARE THEY EVEN FIGHTING FOR?!?
~ Coby's speech at Marineford - to Akainu, of all people.
I think it sounds delusional! There's no way they'd acknowledge a country of criminals!
~ Koby to Blackbeard

Koby is a major deuteragonist and one of the only noble and good-willed marines in the series. He first appeared early in the series as a kid, but then eventually became a marine captain. He became a member of SWORD (the Marines' special black ops unit of semi-resigned Marines who against the Four Emperors without giving permission from the World Government or the Marines HQ).

Following the dissolution of the Seven Warlords, Koby went on a mission with Vice-Admiral Yamakaji to capture Boa Hancock. However, the mission failed as the Marines are unsurprisingly too weak against Hancock even with the Seraphims (although Koby offered Hancock a peace solution to surrender herself just so the Marines will spare her people only for the Snake Princess to angrily rejected his offering which it is the worst peace solution he undertake when the Pirate Empress refused to become a prisoner to the World Government (since she was a Celestial Dragon's slave)). The Marines and the Blackbeard Pirates (who also failed to kill Hancock to steal her devil fruit) were drove off by Silvers Rayleigh and Shakuyaku (the previous empress of Amazon Lily 2 generations before Hancock herself).

After a failed-yet-weakly attempted to arrest Boa Hancock (due to Koby and the other Marines being too weak against her), he was forced to surrender himself to Blackbeard (who is holding 800 Marines as hostages) and became a prisoner of the Blackbeard Pirates. Helmeppo tried to convince his fellow SWORD member to help rescue Koby at Hachinosu. However, one of them (Prince Grus) tells the island is Blackbeard's territory, going there and rescue Koby is suicide and not an option when Grus tells to Helmeppo that if they would go to Hachinosu, they'll immediately die because they're just too weak against Blackbeard and his crew. This was until Koby's mentor Monkey D. Garp decided to go to Hachinose with SWORD to rescue Koby from the Blackbeard Pirates. Garp and SWORD arrived at Hachinose to rescue Koby while Blackbeard is away to fight Trafalgar D. Water Law in attempt to steal Road Poneglyph copies and his Ope Ope no Mi.

Due to Cross Guild, Koby has a 5-stars bounty that worth 500 million berries.

In the Japanese version, he was voiced by Mika Doi. In the English version, he was voiced by Chio Su-Ping, Kayzie Rogers, Leah Clark as a child, and Micah Solusod as an adult. He will be portrayed by Morgan Davies in the live action version.

Summary[]

Coby was a pirate whose job was to swab the deck, he was constantly abused by Alvida the whole time he was there, but eventually ran into Monkey D. Luffy who saved him from Alvida and set him free. He later joined Luffy for a brief time and helped him save Zoro and the city from Captain Morgan and eventually got promoted to a marine captain. He later appeared again saying that when they meet again both him and Luffy will be enemies, despite this he still keeps his morals intact and still considers Luffy a friend.

Koby was among the hundreds of thousands of Marines summoned to defend Marineford when Whitebeard, his crew, and their allies arrived to safe Portgas D. Ace from his public execution. During the battle, Koby watched in horror when Admiral Akainu executed a Marine for wanting to run away out of concern for his family, thereby demonstrating Akainu's corrupt sense of "Absolute Justice" in which no mercy should be shown to anyone he believes could be associated with piracy and he will not tolerate cowardice or retreat from his own men. As a result, after Akainu kills Ace personally when Ace protected Luffy from a Magma Fist strike aimed intentionally at Luffy, Koby's own Haki awoke, causing him to hear all the Marines dying and pleading for mercy with being saved, pushing him to his breaking point, at which he shouted for the fighting to stop, arguing as to why the Marines are still fighting when Ace and Whitebeard are now both dead and the Marines have already won. While many of his fellow Marines, including Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp, see the truth to his words, Akainu does not, and prepares to execute Koby for apparent insubordination, only for his strike to be blocked by none other than Shanks, saving Koby's life. Shanks forces Akainu to stand down when he threatens to have his Red-Haired Pirates fight the Marines and Blackbeard's forces if they do not call a truce and ceasefire immediately, and Sengoku acquiesces to Shanks' ultimatum, ordering all his forces under his command as Fleet Admiral, including Akainu, to stand down and collect their dead and wounded. Following this, Koby remained in the Marines, and during the time skip, advances through the ranks of the Marines to become a Captain, allowing him to wear the cape-like coat that the higher-ranked Marine officers wore with the kanji for "Justice" emblazoned on the back.

He is promoted to captain and joins the Marine's special forces called "SWORD". After the Shichibukai was abolished, Koby, his superior Vice-Admiral Yamakaji, and his troops sailed to Amazon Lily to try capture Boa Hancock. However, it failed as Koby and the Marines (including Vice-Admiral Yamakaji) were just too weak against the empress of Amazon Lily as Hancock is still too powerful when she easily defeated Vice Admiral Yamakaji and most of the marines, leaving Koby to be defenseless and weak. Koby was captured by the Blackbeard Pirates (who invaded Amazon Lily to kill Hancock and steal her devil fruit but it was prevented and they were drove off by Silvers Rayleigh and Shakuyaku). It was revealed Koby actually surrendered himself to Blackbeard in exchange to release 800 Marine hostages.

Helmeppo begs his fellow SWORD to help rescue Koby. However, one of them (Prince Grus) recalled that Hachinosu is Blackbeard's territory. Rescuing Koby is suicidal and not an option. Because they are powerless against Blackbeard, they'll immediately die if they would try invade at Hachinosu. This was until Garp shows up ordering Helmepoo and SWORD to get aboard on his ship to rescue Koby.

It revealed Blackbeard and his crew are interested of Cross Guild's Marine bounty hunting. Blackbeard revealed to Koby that he is just going to use him as a bargaining chip to make deals with the World Government of making Hachinose into an official island known as the "Blackbeard Kingdom". Koby revealed to Blackbeard that the World Government and the Marines will never accepted the Emperor of turning Hachinose as paradise for pirates. Aokiji revealed to Teach of SWORD to be a black ops Marines unit. Though his attempt would be in vain, but due Koby being a most valuable Marine to the Government, Blackbeard locked him up and wanted to see the people that Koby wished to protect reacts if he gets disavowed by the Marines. When Garp and the SWORD arrived, Koby makes his escape to reunite with his comrades and mentor. However, they were halted by Kuzan (Koby's former superior and Garp's former disciple). Koby successfully escaped Hachinosu but Garp allowed himself to be captured in hope to reform Kuzan.

Heroic Acts[]

  • Giving a speech of no more fighting, realizing the Marineford war has caused too much bloodshed even after the Marines are gaining the upper hand.
  • Saving Rocky Port from Trafalgar D. Water Law.
  • Trying to convince Blackbeard not to kill Boa Hancock. He also offered himself to Teach in exchange for 800 marines to leave free.
  • Escaping Blackbeard's crew and saving the people on Hachinosu, marines and civilians, from Avalo Pizarro's attack but sadly his mentor Garp gotten captured in hope to reform Kuzan.

Abilities and powers[]

During his harsh training by Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp, Koby has superhuman strength and speed. However, his abilities are still too weak against either the former Warlord, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock (who's bounty is worth 1,659,000,000 berries) and the Emperor Marshall D. Teach/Blackbeard (who's bounty is worth 3,996,000,000 berries), but not too weak against foes like Avalo Pizarro, who, Koby used his Honesty Impact on while attacking his giant arm, shattering it and severely hurting Pizarro.

Rokushiki[]

Like Cipher Pol, Koby has mastery of Rokushiki.

Haki[]

Kenbunshoku Haki[]

During the Summit War of Marineford, Koby awakened Kenbunshoku Haki. Koby was shown hunched over and crying intensely on the battlefield, saying that the voices in his head were disappearing one by one as the combatants around him were slain, much like what Aisa felt during the Skypiea Arc.

After the timeskip, Koby had developed his Kenbunshoku Haki to a very advanced level. He was able to notice a torpedo headed towards the Dressrosa- Prodence Kingdom ship underwater from his own ship a ways off, shocking Helmeppo, who did not notice it despite having Kenbunshoku Haki as well. On top of that, Koby also managed to sense Kyros's great strength despite just meeting him.

Busoshoku Haki[]

Koby is a skilled Busoshoku Haki user.

At Hachinosu, an almost exhausted Koby hardened his fist to break apart Avalo Pizarro's gigantic hand, preparing to crush their escaping battleship, which carried civilians and comrades. Furthermore, he proved skilled and powerful in the advanced application of emitting Haki without a medium, resulting in him blasting apart the Ten Titanic Captains' Shima_Shima_no_Mi. Such a feat of Busoshoku Haki sparked immediate astonishment from the Marines, SWORD members, and Blackbeard Pirates, some of which included Devil Fruit users and combatants who fought powerful opponents.
