Exploring Aurust Castle
However, the chapter begins with Luffy and his group exploring the gigantic Aurust Castle in search of the key to Loki's chains. After searching unsuccessfully, they find the throne room, where there is a huge magic circle on the floor and a hole in the ceiling. An unknown voice interrupts the mysterious atmosphere, calling for Luffy.
The encounter with Ya-san in chapter 1139
Then a mysterious man appears, seated on the throne: Ya-san, a former pirate from Elbaph, who reveals that he sensed an abnormal Haki in the castle. He quickly demonstrates that he knows Luffy and mentions his feat in defeating Kaido. Thus, Ya-san, with a striking appearance—long hair, sunglasses, a braided beard, and a flame-shaped scar—is recognized as Scopper Gaban, a former member of the Roger Pirates.
Gaban argues with Luffy about the risks of freeing Loki, but is ignored by the straw hat and Zoro. This triggers a nostalgic flashback of him with Roger and Rayleigh, highlighting the impetuous personality of the former Pirate King.
The revelation of the mountain devourer
Meanwhile, back in the village, Oimo tells Usopp about a legendary member of the Roger Pirates, known as the "Mountain Eater" for having destroyed an entire army single-handedly using only two axes. This man is none other than Scopper Gaban himself.
The lost treasure and the final challenge
The group finds a secret passage beneath the throne, leading them to the treasure room. To Nami's frustration, all the chests are empty except for a single key in the center. Before Luffy can retrieve it, Gaban intervenes, declaring that "Loki's release" is something not even villains would want.The Lost Treasure and the Final Challenge
The chapter ends with Gaban challenging Luffy to take the key from him, in an epic scene that highlights his fame: "The Left Hand of the Pirate King".
