They were.So is this implying that they haven't met since that long ago, I could've sworn there were together when dragon found sabo
They were.
What Kuma is saying is that he won’t forget Iva’s face as a promise since childhood.
Reader: It seems like the SWORD member Hibari has a cute bear stuff toy in her backpack. I want to know the details!Oda: So you noticed it! That bear is a lucky charm that Hibari treasures from when she was little. At one time, her life was saved by Koby in a battlefield but she lost the bear. A few days later, Koby was injured and was severely told off by a superior. On Koby's hand was the bear. Koby returned to the battlefield and searched for Hibari's treasure. Hibari was crying and grateful. She secretly named the bear "Koby-senpai". I'm quite dense, so I don't know if she's "head over heels" for him or not .
God why does ODa have to make me like Koby.
I don't think Oda would confirm that in the same chapter where Shanks told Lucky Roo to not be cocky if he didn't want us to this Beckman is special
People who deny Advanced CoC Beckman are in for a rude awakening
Sengoku too complacent with genocide.Koby is the future Sengoku with Smoker being the new Garp.
He belongs to Shank’s generation. Shit when the Warlords were first coming up.Ben Beckman is probably middle generation Zoro/Rayleigh.
So he'll def be top tier.
