@desa:
When Caribou get a 210M bounty and then proceed to get pound by everyone, I'm sure Coby taking a 300M pirate is nothing to sweat.
Agree about Smokey. He will be Luffy level.
Even Smokey who knew nothing about it and as been busy in the NW can do the hardening stuff. Tashigi also can. Coby being trained by Garp and having awaken his sensitive haki will probably be way better in it than those show those far while lacking in armament(no hardening).
Yeah Caribou has a 210M but the guys that have 300M are something else, just look at Killer he has a 200M, Hawkins 320M, do you think that Coby has what it takes to take down those guys? That gap between 200M and 300M seems small in numbers but that's a huge gap when it comes to strength also we can't really said since Killer has to be a monster and he only have 200M and Zoro will most likely be around 230M after Dressrosa.
Coby is definitely stronger than Tashigi but I just don't see Oda making Coby super strong right now, he's just a captain, he still have to go through a lot in order to become an admiral.
Captain>Commodore>rear admiral>vice admiral>admiral
