Summary
- Koby may have forgotten his goal of capturing Alvida in One Piece.
- Koby has moved on from his time with Alvida, focusing on more important matters.
- One Piece tends to bring plots full circle, so a Koby-Alvida reunion could happen.
One Piece has changed since its far more peaceful and simple beginnings. What is now a massive epic following the exploits of a universe full of pirates, was once a much simpler journey about a group of friends trying to survive in a dangerous world. Back then, each character’s goals and dreams in One Piece seemed simpler, since the audience didn’t know the true extent of how difficult it would be to make them a reality.
However, on the flip side, some goals were so simple that it seems that they’ve been completely forgotten in the modern story of One Piece. This includes one of Koby’s previous goals, back during his initial introduction at the very beginning of the story, which included capturing Alvida and bringing her to justice. The question is now, has Koby completely forgotten his goal of capturing Alvida, or will he finally have the chance to take her down before the end of the story?

Although Alvida Has All But Vanished Koby Is Still Important To The Story
At the very beginning of One Piece, Koby accidentally finds his way onto a pirate ship that he thought was a fishing boat, unintentionally forcing him to become one of Alvida’s subordinates. However, the future One Piece Marine, Koby, never wanted to become a pirate and instead dreamed of joining the Navy and eventually becoming an Admiral there. On Alvida’s ship, Koby met Luffy, who quickly defeated Alvida and freed Koby, allowing him to officially pursue his dreams of joining the Navy.
I’ll join the Navy, and then I’ll capture Alvida. – Koby
However, Koby has also claimed that he wants to officially capture Alvida and bring her to justice. Currently, Luffy’s first antagonist of the series is still at large, now with an interesting One Piece Devil Fruit and a high-ranking position in Buggy’s crew. Although it seems she hasn’t gotten much stronger since the last time the audience saw her in Loguetown, she now has the resources and influence of an Emperor’s crew, meaning she may be much harder to catch.

He May Not Even Know She’s Still An Active Pirate
- Koby Has Moved On From His Time With Alvida
- There Are Mor Important Things For Koby To Worry About Now
With all that being said, as it currently stands in One Piece, it seems that Koby has completely forgotten about his goal to capture the forgotten One Piece character, Alvida. Since his declaration was before Luffy defeated her, it makes sense that Koby assumed that moment was her being brought to justice. Additionally, although she returned to the story at Loguetown, thanks to her Devil Fruit, the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, she looks completely unrecognizable, so Koby may not even know she’s still an active pirate.

Additionally, while Alvida was a strong opponent back in the early days of One Piece, Koby has far surpassed her level in the current story. While a fight between the two would be a good reference to the early days of the series, it would be extremely one-sided, with Koby easily besting the pirate. Outside of a small callback, this fight wouldn’t be very interesting, unless Alvida was doing enough training to make her one of the strongest characters in One Piece.

With that being said, One Piece does tend to bring plot points full circle, even small details that fans have missed early in the series. While a full-on fight and a serious mission to capture Alvida is off the table, if the Cross Guild ever comes into direct conflict with the Navy, a small interaction between Koby and Alvida would be nice to see. Additionally, since neither Koby nor Alvida looks anything like they used to at the beginning of One Piece, it would be funny to see a gag about the two not recognizing one another.
You can’t just blame your fate on other people all the time and expect them to solve everything. – Koby
While Koby is generally a person who sticks to his words, it seems likely that One Piece’s future high-ranking Navy soldier most likely forgot about Alvida, or assumed she was defeated back in the beginning of the story. Although One Piece is great at tying up loose ends, characters make vague declarations all the time that generally don’t amount to much. However, if Alvida and Koby were to reunite before the end of One Piece, it may provide a funny scene between two of One Piece’s earliest characters.
