I was wondering if you agree with a head cannon. I like to think Coby really looks up to Luffy and when times get rough he asks himself “what would Luffy do?” And he knows he can keep going cause Luffy wouldn’t stop. (Also has a tiny crush on Luffy)

blenheims:

I agree with that a whole lot. 

From what we’ve seen Coby has always been very respectful towards Luffy, during their first encounter Luffy hits him just because he felt like. Coby further thought Luffy was a complete moron for fighting Alvida and for trying to free Zoro, but he quickly got over that and he totally trusted in his strenght. And after they departed he decided to follow his dreams and join the marines and later express the desire to become an admiral all thanks to Luffy.

I would dare to go as far as saying that he would sometimes think about what Luffy would do but only then when he needs further encouragment or a boost of energy to overcome a great task, not when like fighting somebody because Coby knows very well Luffy’s usual way to go is punch his way through xD

But yes, in the end, totally, Coby admires Luffy greatly for giving him the courage to pursue his dream,

and besides Coby having a crush on Luffy? Sign me the fuck up 😀
