Koby

Summary

When Koby first appeared, he was a small, timid, bespectacled boy with pink hair who was slightly chubby and shorter than Luffy. After training under Garp, Koby became thinner and taller, now standing nearly as tall as Luffy while sporting a scar across his forehead above his right eye. He now wears a jacket with the standard Marine colors. Koby is first introduced as a cowardly Chore Boy on board Alvida's ship. Fearing being smashed by her Iron Mace, he would reply, 'You are, Miss Alvida' whenever she asked who was the loveliest on the sea. Eventually, with Luffy's help, he found the courage to pursue his dream of leaving her and becoming a Marine. He first appears to have changed when he and Luffy arrive at the base where Captain Morgan is stationed. Although Helmeppo holds a gun to his head, Koby pulls together his courage and tells Luffy not to worry about him. After their mini-arc series, Helmeppo and he become good friends. Koby values his friendship with Luffy a lot, as shown when even after their brief fight, he asks if they're still friends. In his first appearance, Koby lacked any fighting skills. According to Alvida, the only reason she kept him on was because he happened to be good at Navigation. He is seen during his mini-arc training alongside Helemeppo and Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp. He has since become strong enough to use Rokushiki, or at the very least, Soru. He also has some knowledge of swordsmanship, as he was seen practicing with Helmepppo, as well as Garp's attendant.
