No dude this is way different. Once again I will show the panels.
Right here is where Hancock turned almost everybody into statues except Teach, S-Hawk and Coby that were far behind. We could even assume S-Snake was turned into stone since we don't see Coby ordering her to stop only S-Hawk. So Teach fight with S-Hawk stopped right there and his men were turned into stone. Meanwhile Hancock was aiming Coby with another attack that would make him into stone and giving him reaction to it he wouldn't be able to avoid getting hit.
The right next panel we have Coby, Teach and Hancock next to each other. Teach holding Hancock's neck negating her powers, Coby paralyzed from fear so he doesn't even move. That's is easily to understand Teach stopped Hancock attack before she could hit Coby.
You are still wrong since only one attack failled when the other was interrupted and would hit Coby just like Luffy's last attack before dying would hit Kaido if wasn't for CP-0 agent.
Wrong. There is no named attack in any of the sky splitting clashes. Kaido attack on Oden was not named. Named attacks means nothing but a marketing strategy to make the story cooler and try to make iconic moves like kamehameha.
Yes war crimes are bullshit made by United Nations to have a somewhat more moral war which include things like not killing civillians, not using bio weapons and stuff. Yet we are seeing on Ukraine how things are going.
Like I said there is no sneak in war specially when you are the invader and even less when you have CoO like Coby does. He could sense a missile when protecting people from Reverie but wouldn't sense Hancock getting closer? Bullshit.
There is the quote where you states he wasn't even trying.
Fix your engage definition before going back to this endless discussion if they were engaged or not.
Once again I already proved to you on the previous arguments.
Funny how Hancock doesn't need to say they were engage although you implied that she said but then you argue that not showing Hancock and Coby having a directly 1v1 isn't enough reason to say they didn't fought.
Coby knows some pirates are good. And if she is friends with Luffy she may be a good person too. Simply because of that.
Also Coby has enough autonomy and personality to chose his fights and not follow blindly orders from marines and WG.
