Hancock literally only used 1 move the entire chapter lol
Not true, we see how close the distance hancock and koby is after this panel, hancock tried to sneak attack koby with perfume femur, then after we literally see koby insta reacting.
He never hyped up Koby, the only thing he did was reveal to Koby how the Rocky port incident indirectly helped him acquire Fullalead, something Koby himself didn't know as shown by the exclamation point
Blackbeard was literally negotiating with koby, called him hero, thanked him for helping, and using an ambiguous exclamation mark as a point is crazy, show me where that was koby.
