In the thrilling chapter 1149 of One Piece, it was nothing short of mind-blowing for me, a die-hard fan of Sanji, to witness Scopper Gaban wielding Conqueror’s Haki in full force! Now, let me clarify that this wasn’t the first time we saw Gaban using this mighty power; he demonstrated it during his clash with Luffy earlier. Yet, some of us fans were hesitant to accept that the left arm of the Pirate King could possess such an incredible skill. But now, there can be no denial!

In chapter 1149 of “One Piece”, Oda emphasized that Gaban employed his Conqueror’s Haki without any ambiguity. Specifically, all the attacks he used against Sommers were enhanced with this ability. By using his Conqueror’s Haki, Gaban inflicted injuries on the Holy Knights far beyond their expectations. Pushing relentlessly towards Colon, Gaban demonstrated the formidable power of his mastery over this unique skill.

Gaban’s Conqueror’s Haki Usage

In chapter 1149 of the popular series One Piece, viewers witnessed Gaban engaging in combat with Sommers. Employing his unique abilities, Gaban managed to slice through Sommers’ weapons and deliver powerful blows. Later on, Gaban charged towards Gunko, attempting to end her life with a single shot powered by Conqueror’s Haki. However, due to Colon serving as a hostage, Gaban failed to strike Gunko, resulting in his surrender and subsequent removal from the tree.

Gaban Also Has Future Sight Observation Haki

Beyond the existing abilities, it’s crucial to remember that Gaban possesses Future Sight Observation Haki as well. This unique Haki is extremely scarce and is typically wielded by a select few high-ranking characters in One Piece. When utilized by Gaban, this ability enabled him to foresee Colon’s demise in the future, leading him to acknowledge that his struggle was pointless and the wisest course of action would be to yield.
