Oh, yeah I have to say it's strange that they did Coby dirty in this episode if it seems like they are gonna expand him for the season.... we should be done with him, and they cut out his best parts, why would you expand him now?

They cut him finding a spine and standing up to Alvida

The end of the Morgan stuff was weaker than before. Zoro's stuff with the little girl in the bar was good there, but not connecting protecting her with him being tied him made it kinda weird that he allowed himself to be stuck there, and made his presence in the base from then on and why he chose to help Luffy feel pretty clunky. Having the notion of staying there to protect the townspeople was kinda the throughline that made all of that work.

Then in the climax in the anime, Helmeppo takes Coby hostage to get Luffy and Zoro to stop. Luffy recognizes Coby's resolve and just punches Helmeppo tf out while leaving himself unguarded to Morgan's attack from the back, trusting Zoro will take him out. It solidified Zoro as joining the crew, made both of them look cool as hell, and Coby grew in determination. Was missing out on all this just to stick Nami into the battle royale worth it?

THEN there's the scene where Luffy beats Coby up to make him look like he's not a friend to pirates to the marines

God the show is making me reflect and actually like Coby after all these years, that's messed up. But the show didn't do any of those things wtfffffffffffffff
