Koby was one of the many servants of Alvida. The role of the ship's caretaker. Of course, not consensually.

His head was like a bean, with pink hair, and glasses. He cleaned, got beat, cleaned, built his boat, maybe even had the chance to eat, and had the dream to become a Marine. Even if the chance was nonexistent.

He'd do (almost) anything.

The servant would cry a lot though. A coward.

Too scared to stand up to such an ugly woman, inside and out. 'I'll get out of here, one day.' he had prayed, as the years passed by.

'Never mind.' he was too weak. As he searched around one of the ships they had raided, he had found a fruit.

"A-A!" he gasped with shock, "A Devil Fruit...?!" he quieted down almost immediately. "No way..." Koby pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

'So-so this is a Devil Fruit....' it had grooves, which made it feel weird in his hand, half being colored and the other just black and white. 'Could I have the ability to fight her?'

But he'd lose the ability to swim. What if it would be a mistake?

He heard footsteps coming, immediately shoving it into his mouth and ate it in two bites. He wanted to throw up immediately.

The texture was like paper, tasting like molded floorboards, mop water, the rotten food that they were sometimes fed, and dirt, all in one. Eating hand soap would've been better than this experience.

Koby saw stars in his vision, as suddenly strange things started to pop up.

Objects, all around his area, with symbols on top of them.

He swore he heard Alvida's voice, as he immediately grabbed some small crates and ran out of that room, nearly tripping over his own feet.

He didn't feel good about himself, like a criminal. (He already was one though, because he's on a pirate ship.)

It was night time when he was finished delivering everything in that room. Tired.

Everyone else had (presumably) fallen asleep, no one else on deck, unless they were forced to sleep there.

He'll just test it out, maybe for a few minutes.
