Get key details on Koby's Haki with the latest Vivre card

Key Takeaways

  • Koby used Honesty Impact in the Egghead arc, not Conqueror's Haki, as explained in Vivre Cards.
  • Through Garp's training, Koby has grown tremendously, demonstrating his strength and courage.
  • Koby became a hero and achieved significant career advancement after the Rocky Port incident involving Law and Blackbeard.



Kobe was one of the first characters introduced. one piece. When Kobe debuted, he was a meek and weak person who couldn't make his own decisions and didn't have the courage to stand up for himself. The main reason for his actions was lack of strength and faith.

Since then, Kobe has grown a lot both physically and mentally. After a long wait, Koby got a big moment in the Egghead arc when he destroyed Avalo Pizarro's arm with Honesty Impact. The attack power was definitely strong and there was no lack of power at all. Due to the way it was presented in the comics, many fans were confused as to whether it was powered by something other than Armament Haki. Fortunately, the new Vivre card set clears up this misconception.

Kobe has no conqueror's hockey

Captain Marien only has access to weapons and observations.


On the Egghead, Koby and the other Marines faced off against the Titanic captain of the Blackbeard Pirates. Kuzan and the rest of the crew made it impossible for the Marines to leave the island. Garp gave Koby, Prince Grus, and Helmeppo responsibility for dealing with the threat. He ordered Helmeppo to protect Grus and Koby while they carried out their respective duties. Koby was instructed to destroy Pizarro's giant arm, while Grus was forced to use Gunyo Gunyo no Mi to stop the debris from falling on the Marines. Garp couldn't handle all his enemies, so he trusted them all to do their job.

The success of the mission rested on Covey's shoulders, but he had never taken down an enemy of this magnitude. After a moment of reflection, Kobe realized that he had been training harder than anyone else, and now was the time to show the fruits of his efforts. So he injected Armament Haki into his fist and launched an attack that destroyed Pizarro's arm.


Due to the presence of flames near the attack, many fans believed that Koby also used Conqueror's Haki. However, according to Vivre Cards, Koby only has two types of Haki. Since he doesn't have the Conqueror's card, he couldn't use it to break his fist. Considering how rare the Conqueror's Haki is, it's not surprising that Koby doesn't have one.

Kobe's progress has been tremendous.

Kobe from One Piece


Koby has improved significantly since Garp took him under his wing. The lieutenant general saw potential in Kobe, so he put him through hard training. Koby did not disappoint Garp because he was fully committed to the regime. As a result, Kobe's physical strength improved and he was able to defend himself. At some point, he learned Soru, one of the Rokushiki techniques that allowed him to fly.

Koby interacted with Luffy in Water 7, but the pirate was able to easily overpower him. The two met again in Marineford, where Coby attempted to stop Luffy from rescuing Ace. This time, Luffy beat him without any problems.

But Koby got his moment in the arc. He awakened his observation Haki and was able to sense people dying on the island. Kobe was deeply troubled by the sight of people dropping like flies, which led to a mental breakdown, but he did not give up. Kobe came to his senses and decided to stop people from dying. So he stood up to Akainu, a decision that required guts and one that could have backfired spectacularly if Shanks hadn't arrived in time. Kobe's moment of courage saved many lives.


Being a hero and the Rocky Port incident

Three celebrities were involved in the Rocky Port incident.

Kobe's second major accomplishment was earning him hero fame. He received the nickname because of his involvement in the Rocky Port incident. Oda reveals that Blackbeard, Trafalgar Law, and Koby are involved in this incident. Law took over a passenger ship to search for Poneglyphs. Unfortunately, he was disappointed to learn that it was a smuggling vessel. Eventually, Law got into a scuffle with the pirates.

He joined Blackbeard and Kobe who arrived in Hachinos to pursue their goal. In the end, Blackbeard defeated Wang Zhi while Koby took on the other pirates. As a result of the Rocky Port incident, all three characters make significant advancements in their respective careers.


  • Trafalgar Law became Chilbuaki for giving 100 Pirate Hearts to the World Government.
  • Blackbeard became the new ruler of Hachinos.
  • Kobe was given the title of hero.

Kobe was impressive in the Egghead episode, but he must have been disappointed in himself. Although he broke Pizarro's arm, he was unable to rescue Garp from the island. If he had been stronger, he would certainly have provided more support to the Lieutenant General and they would all have been able to leave the island without problems. But Kobe should take this as a lesson and improve himself and become better.
