There are many characters in One Piece who have managed to become better over time, and one of the best examples of this development is Coby. Ever since his introduction in the series, Coby has managed to improve on many levels. When he first met Luffy, Coby was just a scared cabin boy, who could not leave Alvida's pirate crew. Seeing his condition, Luffy decided to help him escape from the crew.
After joining the Navy, Coby started his training to become a soldier. As we near the end of the Wano Country arc, it is plausible to assume that Coby will be making more appearances. With an impressive resume, we try a look at the most impressive things that Coby has done so far in One Piece.
8 Became Part Of SWORD
When Coby was first introduced in the series, no one quite believed that he would go on to become someone powerful. In the Wano Country arc, it was revealed that Coby is actually a member of Team SWORD, which is led by X-Drake.
The group's exact motive remains unknown, but currently, they are involved in trying to gain more intel about the Yonko. Drake contacted Coby via transponder snail in order to tell the latter about the presence of CP0 in Wano.
7 Rocky Port Incident
Not much is known about the Rocky Port Incident. It is a mysterious event that took place sometime during the two-year timeskip. The incident was caused by the former Shichibukai, Trafalgar Law, and it posed a threat to the people.
The citizens were eventually rescued by Coby, and he received a lot of plaudits from the people, and he came to be known as a hero. It is fair to say Coby is going down the same path as his mentor, Monkey D. Garp.
6 Became A Marine Captain
Becoming a high-ranked Marine is not an easy job. It is evident from the ages of the Admirals and the others that it takes a lot of time to actually reach a high level. When Coby joined the Marines, he was merely a chore boy, but through his intensive training, he managed to reach the position of a Marine Captain in just three years.
5 Stopped War
The Summit War started when the Marines decided to execute Portgas D. Ace and bring an end to Roger's bloodline. The Marines knew that Whitebeard would not stand and watch while his son was being killed, so the Navy made full preparations. Despite their efforts, the Whitebeard Pirates were able to wreak havoc, which resulted in the deaths of countless Marines.
People like Akainu were still not satisfied and they did not care about the number of casualties as long they got to kill the pirates. Coby was aware of Akainu's dangerous personality, yet he decided to step in to try and stop the war. Of course, the plea fell on deaf ears as Akainu readied himself to attack Coby, however, luckily for Coby, Shanks arrived at the right time.
4 Incredible Kenbunshoku Haki
Coby has a high level of control over his Kenbunshoku Haki. He first awakened this ability during the Summit War. With the help of Kenbunshoku Haki, Coby was able to hear the voices of the people around him fading away, which implied that people were dying.
This motivated Coby to put his life at risk in order to try and stand up to Akainu. Coby showed his impressive Kenbunshoku Haki once again during the Levely arc, where he managed to stop a torpedo that was coming towards the ship which was escorting the covey of the kingdoms Prodence and Dressrosa.
3 Rokushiki Mastery
After joining the Marines, Coby knew that he had to train a lot in order to accomplish his dream of becoming an Admiral. Fortunately for Coby, he was taken in by Garp, who trained him rigorously.
Under Garp's tutelage, Coby became stronger, and he was able to learn Soru, and he used it a couple of times against Luffy. After the timeskip, Coby managed to learn all the six Rokushiki techniques, which shows that he has become even more powerful.
2 Helped People At Levely
The Levely is arguably the most important event in the world of One Piece. Every four years, the kings and queens of certain kingdoms allied with the World Government gather at one place and for seven days, they discuss the most important affairs.
In the most recent Levely that took place, Coby was assigned to protect an envoy from the Prodence and Dressrosa kingdoms. With the help of his skills, Coby managed to protect their ship from an incoming torpedo. In the process, he earned the gratitude of Vivi and co.
1 Going To Capture Boa Hancock
Boa Hancock is undoubtedly one of the strongest characters in the series. Her fighting skills are on par with the other powerful characters. With her skills, Boa managed to remain unscathed during the Summit War.
After the recent Levely, the Shichibukai system was abolishe d, which made Boa an ordinary pirate. While it may not be an accomplishment, it takes a lot of effort for a Navy Captain to go on such a dangerous mission. The outcome of Coby's mission remains to be seen.
