Coby for 1000+ chapters has appeared in two forms in the manga, he's either cleaning decks or getting absolutely mollywomped and shit on even by the likes of Vasco Shot. When Smoker was a captain he was battling it out with YC1s like Ace, but now Coby is so incompetent that he can't fend off fuckin Vasco Shot
And then you have the people who say he's Luffy's Garp, lmao
Like please, this pink haired clown is fangirling over Luffy at princess tea parties
Vs chad Smoker on the hunt and never showing sympathy towards the scum of the seas
