What people don't understand is that Coby isn't wanked for his power lvl, but for his insane growth rate both in power and confidence.
He was a nobody at the beginning hiding from Alvida, ended up awakening observation, passing through ranks like flash under Garp and Bogard(yes me

) tutelage, was hero of the rocky port incident, advanced his observation, and rokushiki techniques, was a captain 50chapters ago, but now a rear admiral
All that from a character in constant evolution, so most are just happy from his growth rate and wanting to see more of him. I don't expect him to win against Hancock, but his performance is what I'm looking for and no he can't be compared to other marines even above him considering he is a character in constant evolution who grows through ranks from accomplishments
The captain coby from 50chapters back and rear admiral Coby are probably not that different in power. The difference come more from accomplishments, the greater the accomplishments, the greater his rank, which is evem more amazing considering the fact he had an antagonist ideology to Akainu's, the current fleet admiral
And compared to snot nose he was before, he seems like a complete different person. You'd never see beginning of Coby telling confidently that he'd go capture Hancock. He isn't the same anymore
With that said I'm also loving for more Hancock action, so in either case, it's good for me
