## One Piece Chapter 1088, pages 9-10: The Last Lesson - Chapter: 1088 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Koby, Monkey D. Garp, Helmeppo, Avalo Pizarro, Hachinosu Pirates, Marines ### Summary Page 9: Koby dashes toward the lifted arm and declares that he will answer Garp's expectations. Garp tells him to look closely at what he is about to do, while Pizarro grows furious and says he is really angry now. Helmeppo notices Koby moving, and the pirates laugh that being called a hero has gone to the brat's head. Garp observes that Koby has improved very quickly but always wraps bandages around his hands because they and his shoulders are full of wounds. The page cuts between the present danger and Garp's understanding of Koby's hidden effort: he can see that Koby's strength came from painful, obsessive training that almost no one else noticed. Page 10: A flashback reveals that Koby once quietly asked Garp not to tell anyone about his training. He called himself a normal person with no talent for fighting and said he would have to put in ten, no, one hundred or two hundred times more effort than anyone else. Koby trains brutally after everyone else is done, punching the battleship bag with blood-soaked hands. He says that if he trains harder he can become an outstanding Marine and protect everyone, even while crying that it hurts. Others ask Garp to look at Koby because he keeps training even at night, and Garp tells him enough. In the present, Garp laughs as Koby faces an "ant" against a "hand," recognizing the result of that relentless work.
