Imma spit out a crazy theory.
Here we go:-
1.) Ryoukugyu coming to face the SHs....is reminicient of Kizaru coming to face the SHs pre timeskip. However they were saved by Rayleigh. This time they will be saved by Roger's other strongest man.
2.) This dude talking to Crocus in a coverpage is highly likely Gaban...and he has Wano clothing
Wano clothing could indicate going to Wano or something
3.) Weve seen someone with the same cape as him on board with Necko and Marco sailing to Wano
4.) We know this isnt Izo either
So why didnt Scopper intervene and help the allaince ? Probably a dumb excuse such as betting on the New Generation or something. Crocus also probably told him about Luffy, so did Ray and Shanks if he met up with them at any point. So he trusted in Luffy defeating Kaido and the allaince winning. He probably just went to Wano and enjoyed the festival....whilst knowing their was a massive War in the sky.
----
So what is the probability of all of this ? Very low. I mean Oda couldve hinted at it better if he actually was here.
But it would be pretty hype to see GB capturing the entire allaince, and then Scopper revealing himself and then cutting all the branches with his axes. Then fending off and holding back Ryou....long enough for the allaince to escape.
