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.
Koby literally was reacting to BB pulling up, not to her attack, it is why we see she was cut off.
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.
1. He was not negotiating lol, he just asked for his input but as we saw his mind was already made up.
2. He thanked him for indirectly helping him as I've shown, you keep repeating that shit like a mindless bot.
3. lol at ignoring the exclamation point lmao you live in headcanon land it is pointless to even argue
I don't see how this hype Koby at all but you know, Oda's decisions
