by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf arc.

Summary

  • Scopper Gaban possesses the best Observation Haki on Elbaf, surpassing even a Yonko.
  • Elbaf features powerful Observation Haki users like Luffy and Sanji.
  • Gaban’s Haki extends over the entire island and rivals that of Pirate King Roger.

I’m absolutely thrilled about where One Piece’s Elbaf arc has taken us so far! Just fifteen chapters in, Oda has truly raised the bar, placing this arc among the greatest in the series. The arrival of some formidable new adversaries and a wealth of essential lore has left me questioning how this arc could possibly get any more thrilling. I can’t wait to see what unfolds next!

In chapter 1139 of One Piece, the answer was revealed to the audience with the introduction of a character boasting immense power and exceptional Haki. This extraordinary individual possesses Observation Haki that outshines even a Yonko’s, demonstrating an entirely distinct level of prowess. As many fans have come to understand, this mysterious figure is none other than the right-hand man of the Pirate King, Scopper Gaban!

The Amazing Observation Haki Users Of Elbaf

Elbaf Already Has An Array of Incredible Observation Haki Users

The Elbaf storyline unfolds during the Final Saga of One Piece, a significant part of the series that hints at the extraordinary power of the characters involved. In this arc, Luffy is already a Yonko, which means he’s almost achieving his dream and indicates that both his adversaries and his associates will be incredibly powerful. It’s also worth mentioning that these strong characters will possess advanced Haki abilities, with Elbaf showcasing some exceptionally skilled Observation Haki users.

Firstly, Captain Straw Hat Luffy has already arrived at Elbabara (Elbaf), a fact well-known among fans due to his exceptional mastery over Observation Haki. During the Whole Cake Island arc, Luffy elevated his Observation Haki to unprecedented heights, acquiring the ability of Future Sight Observation Haki. This remarkable skill allowed him to peer into the future and strategize his attacks effectively. Such a formidable power, seemingly imbalanced in its overpowering nature, elevated Luffy among the top users of Observation Haki globally.

Furthermore, Luffy’s growth in strength was reflected in his ever-improving Haki abilities. During the Wano arc (One Piece), his Future Sight Observation Haki demonstrated even greater potential when he faced off against Kaido. The spectacle of this skill was nothing short of awe-inspiring. In Elbabara, it’s reasonable to assume that Luffy’s Future Sight Observation Haki has further developed and refined.

In Elbaf, Sanji is another highly proficient user of Observation Haki. Recognized as one of the top Haki users among the Straw Hat Pirates, Sanki’s natural Haki abilities in this regard surpass that of Luffy, although he lacks the power to predict the future.

Even though there are many potent Haki users in Elbaf, none can match the extraordinary accomplishment achieved by the ex-Left Hand Man of the Pirate King, Scopper Gaban, as he has just demonstrated.

Scopper Gaban Has The Best Observation Haki On Elbaf

Gaban’s Sensory Perception Is On Another Level

Chapter 1139 of One Piece introduced us to Scopper Gaban in the current timeline, adding another thrilling chapter to the Elbaf saga. This chapter stood out due to the appearance of Gaban, who was renowned as a pirate on par with the legendary Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, and his second-in-command, Silvers Rayleigh. In his prime, Gaban was an incredibly powerful pirate, and even in old age, he still appears to be formidable. The intriguing encounter between Scopper Gaban and Luffy took place in the Aurust Castle in chapter 1139 of One Piece. When Road asked Gaban about his presence in Aurust Castle, his response was unexpected. Most fans speculated that Gaban was headed to Aurust Castle to meet with Luffy; however, this was not the actual reason for his visit to the castle.

It seemed like there was a menacing aura emanating from the castle, tinged with Haki, but now that aura is absent, and in its place, I find all of you here.

Scopper Gaban admitted that his curiosity led him to investigate Aurust Castle, as he could feel an unusually potent Haki emanating from it. Despite its immense power, not all fans might fully appreciate this fact. However, upon reaching the castle, he discovered nothing but emptiness. What he found instead were Luffy, Zoro, Road, and Nami.

Wow, let me tell you, it’s mind-blowing to grasp the extent of Scopper Gaban’s Haki! Some might underestimate it, but knowing his senses can cover an entire island is nothing short of astounding. I mean, here’s a guy who spotted danger from Aurust Castle when even Luffy, Zoro, or Sanji couldn’t! And get this, the legendary Giants, right there with Luffy and the crew, didn’t catch a thing. The only one whose radar detected a disturbance was none other than Scopper Gaban. It’s clear evidence that his Observation Haki is top-notch in Elbaf. Absolutely incredible!

How Strong Is Gaban’s Haki?

Scopper Gaban Is A Roger Tier Pirate

In simple terms, it’s indisputable that Scopper Gaban possesses immense power. The latest One Piece chapter 1139 has left no doubt among fans that Gaban is an exceptional pirate, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Dark King, Silvers Rayleigh, and even approaching the level of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. In essence, Gaban is a pirate of the same caliber as Gol D. Roger, earning him legendary status with his colossal strength.

For more than two decades, Scopper Gaban has resided right here, much like the man who matched wits with Roger and Rayleigh.

Without a doubt, given that Gaban lacks a Devil Fruit, it’s evident that he wields formidable Haki. It’s plausible that Gaban is proficient in all three types of Haki: Observation, Armament, and Conqueror’s. His command over Observation Haki seems remarkable, and his mastery of Armament Haki is undoubtedly exceptional. Many believe that Gaban also possesses Conqueror’s Haki, which would enable him to match the best in the One Piece world, particularly during his time period. It’s hard to imagine a pirate being on par with Roger without extraordinary Conqueror’s Haki, and fans eagerly anticipate witnessing Gaban’s full potential in Elbaf.

Since the upcoming Elbaf storyline is set to feature Luffy, Zoro, and Nami teaming up against Scopper Gaban, fans are bursting with excitement and eagerly anticipate seeing what fresh adventures await them at the hands of creator Eiichiro Oda.

Fans can access and read “One Piece” for free, officially, through Viz Media on either the Shonen Jump or Manga Plus apps. The next chapter, “One Piece 1140,” is scheduled to be released on February 23rd, 2025.
