===========================================================


╰┈➤ Appearance:

- Due to the passage of time and Garp's training, Koby has grown thinner and taller, standing close to Luffy in height. He has also gained a cross-shaped scar above his right eye, presumably earned under Garp's heavy-handed tutelage. His hair has grown longer and shaggier since his growth spurt, but it has retained its kobi pink color.

- Koby wears a standard-issue Marine jacket, pants, and neckerchief as well as a brightly patterned bandanna worn tied across his forehead. 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.

- After the timeskip, Koby has grown even taller, reaching Garp's shoulders. 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. The scar on his forehead also has grown wider.


===========================================================


╰┈➤ Personality:

- Koby was first introduced as the Alvida Pirates' hapless ship caretaker who lived in fear of both the ship's crew and captain. 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. Luffy was less than impressed with Koby's cowardice, describing him as "pretty stupid and useless...and kinda wimpy too". 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.

- 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 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.

- Koby has an immense amount of determination. In the early days of his training as a Marine when he was still weak, he would train relentlessly non-stop by punching battleships which could only be done by powerful Marines such as Garp and Kuzan due to acknowledging his lack of fighting talent. Despite his already exhaustive training session with Garp, he continued to train on a daily basis despite his hands would keep bleeding from the injuries.

╰┈➤ Abilities:

... Physical - Due to his harsh training regimen under Garp as well as further gruesome training in his spare time, Koby has developed superhuman physical prowess and attributes, such as strength and speed, capable of pulling off one of the Rokushiki techniques, Soru, momentarily surprising and kicking Luffy before he could react, as well as avoiding his punch.

... Rokushiki - Since his training with Garp, Koby has become strong enough to use at least one of the Rokushiki, the Soru technique. He has used Soru against Luffy twice: once at Water 7 and once at the Summit War of Marineford, although the technique did not help him win either fight. After the timeskip, Koby has mastered his Rokushiki techniques. In One Piece: Gigant Battle! 2 New World he is also capable of using the Geppo and Rankyaku techniques. In Episode of Luffy, he shows to be able to use a technique similar to Rankyaku, but this was done with his arms.

... Special Technique, Honesty Impact - Koby imbues his fist with Busoshoku Haki before delivering a massively powerful punch with shockwaves that project forward. This was first seen being used to destroy Avalo Pizarro's island hand.

... Haki - Koby has managed to not only obtain Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku Haki, but get them to an advanced level, aiding him in his fights, which he could thank his mentors for.
