@Law:
I said that Coby would eat it after Ace died some people even said Ace would die before he did and that Coby would get his fruit when after it growed after it has been two years which should be enough and Garp could get his hands on a devil fruit from the marines/world govt if they don't find it when it grows again also he wants to be a admiral also Coby's dream is to be admiral and Luffy's is to be pirate king so they will be like garp/Roger.
I think Smoker is Luffy's sengoku and Coby is garp!
I agree with others, No way will Coby will luffy's Garp. As you already pointed out, Coby wants to become Admiral, Garp never wanted to. It was offered and Garp refused the promotion to Admiral years ago when Roger was still alive. He wanted the freedom to chase Roger and catch him.
It is Smoker that has been chasing Luffy, not Coby. I've said it a lot of times but I'm saying it again, If Luffy is going to follow Roger and be the next Pirate King, then Smoker will fill Garp's place and be the next Hero of the Marines …meaning he's going to be focused on chasing and attempting to catch Luffy.
@Drake_Cloud:
In all honesty, he has to be at least a rear admiral now for him to have any chance of making full admiral by the end of the series. That's 2 promotions at least (and from Vergo being Smoker's superior officer we can assume not all vice admirals are equal), which is already completely unlikely. The only other way is if something dramatically shakes up the Marine structure, like say Blackbeard coming in and killing half the VAs to where the marines are rapidly promoting qualified individuals to fill the gaps.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, It seems your arguement is that Coby won't be able to reach admiral by end of series.
(not unless there is an epilouge in Harry Potter vein where they jump several or even a decade into the future)
It makes sence since its too early for Covy to reach rear a admiral postion. Still too early for a kid younger than 20 to reach that postion. The marines are far more regimental than pirates and they follow the ranking system.
before the timeskip Coby was a Master Chief Petty Officer, that is 10 ranks below Rear Admiral, I got that from the info Oda gave in a SBS= a list of the rankings of the Marines.
I colored it so it would be easier to read =
