The Elbaf arc in the manga is approaching its climax according to One Piece . In the last few chapters, we've seen an intense confrontation between the Holy Knights and Scopper Gaban . The latter, in fact, faced Shepherd Sommers in chapter 1148 and demonstrated complete superiority.

Scopper Gaban's unexpected defeat
In the next chapter, Gaban continued his assault and reduced Sommers to pieces, proving himself the only one capable of harming the immortal Holy Knights. After all, until then, no one believed they could be defeated, precisely because of their immortality.
However, the tide turned again when Gunko entered the scene. Despite mastering all three types of Haki and possessing superhuman strength, Gaban fell while trying to save his son, Collun. Emotionally vulnerable, he dropped his weapons after foreseeing the future, allowing Gunko to shoot him with arrows.
Chopper could be Elbaf's salvation
Meanwhile, Chopper has followed Gaban , determined to discover how he managed to overcome the Holy Knights' immortality. Even with Gaban injured, there is still hope: Chopper has enough medical skills to save him.
Furthermore, by helping the legendary pirate, Chopper may discover the secret to defeating these enemies. He can then share this crucial information with the others, strengthening their chances of victory against the Holy Knights .
The possibility of a new medical creation
Eventually, Chopper may go further and create a new drug capable of nullifying his opponents' regeneration. He previously developed a drug that allowed the Minks to activate their Sulong form, as we saw when Bepo faced the Blackbeard Pirates.
Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising if Chopper managed to devise something similar to neutralize the Holy Knights' immortality. This achievement could be the deciding factor in the outcome of the war.
Chopper's crucial role in the final war
Primarily, if Chopper creates such a medicine, the Straw Hats will have a significant advantage in the final battle against the Holy Knights and the Gorosei itself. After all, not all crew members possess enough strength to defeat these enemies alone.
Furthermore, as a medic, Chopper will ensure the recovery of injured allies during the Final Saga. Despite facing immortal opponents, the heroes cannot act recklessly.
However, we hope that Oda grants Chopper a new power to help him in the upcoming battles.
