Koby has come a long way from the nervous kid who used to serve Alvida, and figure #22 in the One Piece WT100 lineup captures him well into his Marine career, goggles pushed up on his pink bandana, fists clenched, ready to throw down. This isn’t the timid recruit from early East Blue. This is someone who’s actually earned his stripes.

The white Marine coat with the epaulette detail drapes over his shoulders, worn loose in that classic officer style rather than fully buttoned up, and the flower-patterned headband underneath adds a small personal touch that keeps him from looking like a generic background Marine. Fists raised in a boxing-style stance, brow furrowed, this is Koby prepared to fight rather than hide, a pose that reflects just how far his character has grown across the series.

Marine characters outside of the Admirals and Garp rarely get this kind of individual figure treatment, which makes Koby’s inclusion in the One Piece WT100 anniversary series worth noting on its own. Every pose in this lineup traces back to fresh artwork Eiichiro Oda drew specifically for his 100th volume milestone, so getting a supporting character like Koby a dedicated spotlight moment is exactly the kind of deep-cut representation this series has become known for.

Six figures round out this particular wave. For fans who’ve followed Koby’s arc from comic relief to legitimate Marine officer, figure #22 is a satisfying addition, and one that’s easy to overlook if you’re only chasing the headline Straw Hats.
