Koby is a major character in the One Piece franchise. He is 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 spy against the Four Emperors without 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 Hanco*ck. However, the mission failed as most of the Marines were turned into stone against Hanco*ck even with the Seraphims (although Koby offered Hanco*ck a peace solution to surrender herself just so the Marines will spare her people only for the Snake Princess to angrily rejected his offer. The Marines and the Blackbeard Pirates (who also failed to kill Hanco*ck to steal her devil fruit) were drove off by Silvers Rayleigh and Shakuyaku (the previous empress of Amazon Lily 2 generations before Hanco*ck herself).

After a failed attempt to arrest Boa Hanco*ck (due to the other Marines being turned into stone), 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 Hachinosu with SWORD to rescue Koby from the Blackbeard Pirates. Garp and SWORD arrived at Hachinosu 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 the 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[]

Koby 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 left them to join the Marines. 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 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 then 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 Hanco*ck. However, it failed as Koby and the Marines (including Vice-Admiral Yamakaji) as most of the marines, were turned into stone, leaving Koby to be defenseless and alone. Koby was then captured by the Blackbeard Pirates (who invaded Amazon Lily to kill Hanco*ck 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 members 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.

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.

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 the former Warlord Boa Hanco*ck (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 strong enough to defeat some of his commanders, which is seen when he defeats Avalo Pizzaro.

Rokushiki[]

Like Cipher Pol, Koby has mastered 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.
