One Piece is a series where people are sometimes born with great strength, but even the strongest fighters have to truly work to become elite, for many years.
Koby went from being weak as hell to using Adv CoC in less than like two years.
A lot of people hate characters like that because they feel them getting such a quick power-up over a timeskip is cheap compared to characters that spent decades trying to reach that level.
Imagine spending all your life trying to get good at a sport, only to lose to a super-talented kid with lucky genes in a 1v1. You'd be pissed.
The idea that Koby is going to surpass Admirals who spent years growing their strength just fucking pisses off those Admiral fans, and it makes sense why.
But, it's a shounen, and that's what happens: the young main characters always manage to get incredibly powerful really quickly.
It's like Kuzan is a Pokemon that takes 5 times as long to level up as Koby. It just feels like Koby is cheating the game.
