Elbaf arc in the One Piece manga is exciting and continues to surprise with each new chapter. After all, besides revealing important details about the world of the work, the plot also features thrilling battles that leave fans increasingly anxious.
Thus, it is no surprise that this arc introduced notable characters, one of them being Scopper Gaban , the legendary left-hand man of the Pirate King , Gol D. Roger. Oda indicated that he is even stronger than Luffy and Zoro , something no one expected.
Scopper Gaban surpassed Zoro and Luffy in One Piece
In One Piece chapter 1140 , fans watched the clash between Luffy and Scopper Gaban. However, it wasn't exactly a fight, but a test: Gaban wanted to prove if Luffy really defeated Kaido and if he was really the legendary Nika .
A surprise in Eiichiro Oda's script, where Luffy was completely overpowered and couldn't even hit Gaban . Furthermore, with a single blow, without using Haki, Gaban made Luffy and Zoro stand at maximum attention, ready to fight with all their might.
As Nami reported, "He took out Luffy and Zoro single-handedly!" This scene made it clear that Gaban possesses monstrous strength, even in his old age. Furthermore, it's worth remembering that Gaban himself stated he was just "playing" with them, which makes the situation even more shocking.
The Legendary Power of Scopper Gaban
In One Piece chapter 1149, Oda further elevated Gaban's reputation by having Nami claim that he is strong enough to defeat Luffy and Zoro together. This feat reinforces that, even as he ages, he remains frighteningly powerful.
Oda later confirmed that, in his youth, Gaban was on par with legends like Rayleigh and Roger. Therefore, Luffy is currently far from reaching Gaban's power in his prime, and neither is Zoro.
One Piece 1149: Release Date
So, mark your calendars! Shueisha will publish chapter 1149 of the One Piece manga directly on the official MANGA Plus at midnight on May 25, 2025 (Japan Time - JST). With Luffy's fate in One Piece in the lands of Elbaf, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapters of the manga.
