When do you think Koby will overtake Garp? How long until he reaches Admiral level?

If he has one attack that's Garp-level (though I didn't find Garp stating this in the manga, chaps 1088-1089, so idk if he did say it), when do you think his overall fighting strength will overtake Garp's? Do you think it'll happen while preparing to rescue Garp from Blackbeard?

I understand that SWORD members are outside the normal ranking structure, so I guess they can't be promoted without leaving Sword and are stuck at lower ranks.

Maybe by the tail end of the series he'll get to current Garp's level. Unless we start getting more focus on the Marines, I don't see him making massive gains behind the scenes. It wouldn't make sense for him to magically jump several tiers in power.

Tbh it would be kinda ridiculous if he ends up at that level by the final arc. At the epilogue I can see it.

It does seem like Koby is important enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if Oda asspulls him to Yonko level tho.

With Garp sacrificing himself for Koby seeing him as the future of the Marines, I'd say it's all but certain.
