Koby has an immense amount of determination. He has put his life on the line at least twice for the sake of what he feels is right, most notably at the Summit War of Marineford where he brought fighting to a standstill by facing down Admiral Akainu and bought the precious seconds needed for Luffy to escape

Koby does not act with the reckless bravery that many characters in the series exhibit, but rather on moral compunction. He continues to be an emotional, compassionate person who can easily be driven to tears for a variety of reasons, which led to Zoro jocularly calling him a 'crybaby' during their reunion at Water 7. Under Garp's instruction, Koby's timidity has been replaced with confidence, although he remains polite, self-effacing, and apologetic if he feels he has done something overly ambitious (such as publicly stating his goal to become a Marine admiral). He was also shown to be perceptive, noting that it was 'strange' for the citizens of Shells Town to be afraid of a Marine Captain and telling Luffy that he had 'a bad feeling about this.' Koby's naïve belief in the blanket integrity of the Marines was dashed when he witnessed the actions of Axe-Hand Morgan and his son, but it only strengthened his resolve to become, in his words, 'a real Marine.' Īs the pair continued in their travels, Koby remained timid and cautious, often relying on Luffy to perform dangerous tasks and becoming alarmed by his companion's reckless behavior. However, Luffy's boundless optimism and single-minded pursuit of his dream rekindled a similar conviction in the downtrodden ship caretaker, allowing him to defy his captors, even under the threat of a brutal death by Alvida's mace. Luffy was less than impressed with Koby's cowardice, describing him as 'pretty stupid and useless.and kinda wimpy too'. Two years of forced servitude had robbed him of all hope of escaping as well as his dream of becoming a Marine, leaving him with few goals other than avoiding being bludgeoned to death by Alvida's iron mace. Koby was first introduced as the Alvida Pirates' hapless ship caretaker who lived in fear of both the ship's crew and captain. The scar on his forehead also has grown wider. He now wears a scarf, a senior officer's Marine coat with the word 'justice' on it, a merit on his jacket, and a new bandanna. Koby's glasses are still present, but he has adopted the habit of wearing them pushed up on his forehead, occasionally using them for reading.Īfter the timeskip, Koby has grown even taller, reaching Garp's shoulders. Koby wears a standard-issue Marine jacket, pants, and neckerchief as well as a brightly patterned bandanna worn tied across his forehead. His hair has grown longer and shaggier since his growth spurt, but it has retained its kobi pink color. He has also gained a cross-shaped scar above his right eye, presumably earned under Garp's heavy-handed tutelage. ĭue to the passage of time and Garp's training, Koby has grown thinner and taller, standing close to Luffy in height. In his first appearance, Koby was a small, timid, chubby boy with kobi pink hair and round-frame glasses.

Koby is also a brief antagonist in the Marineford Arc.
