A wave of disappointment sweeps worldwide asOne Piece, the longest-running anime, goes on a six-month hiatus. While fans may have to wait till 2025 to see the return of the Straw Hat Pirates,One Piecedelivered an epic episode before the break, packed with stunning cinematic moments and featuring Koby in action.

The episode featured Koby: Honesty Impact, which left the fans speechless after witnessing his immense destructive powers rivaling Garp. Following Garp’s epic clash with his former student, it was time for Koby to rescue his mentor from Blackbeard’s crew, and he didn’t let anyone down.
While Garp had his fair share of moments, Koby stole the spotlight with a clutch save and his strongest Honesty Impact yet. Koby’s recent power boost has many fans believing he’s been Eiichiro Oda’s favorite character from the very beginning, outshining Luffy in unexpected ways.

Enthralling fans for over 25 years, Eiichiro Oda’sOne Piecenarrates an epic tale of friendship and adventure, captivating generations of viewers. WhileOne Pieceasks for a lot of commitment from viewers, in return it leaves them enchanted by Oda-sensei’s narrative and Luffy’s journey to become the King of the Pirates.
Unquestionably, Monkey D. Luffy played an important part inOne Piece‘s immense popularity. Eiichiro Oda has done afantastic job of endearing this characterto the community ever since the series debuted in 1997.

Even after 30 years,One Piecefans aren’t tired of following the adventures of this young and enthusiastic boy. While Luffy has been the face ofOne Piecefor over 25 years, many fans are now questioning him as the main protagonist following the latest episode featuringKoby’s Honesty Impact.
At the beginning of the series. Oda-sensei introduces viewers to Luffy, who sets out on his journey to become the King of the Pirates and meets Koby in the first few episodes. After witnessing Koby’s immense destructive attack, many fans believe Oda was setting the stage for the Navy Hero, not Luffy.
