Like @MonochromeYoru said, Gaban will be popping off until Nami steps in and he gets a nosebleed
You know what's funny?
It's fully possible with the Roshi vibe and "older Sanji" comment
Just imagine Luffy and Zoro actually failing to get the key through combat and it's Nami who gets it through another mean
We'll get our first 1000 pages spoilers thread since what, Wano?
That's why I need this to happen lol. We want chaos Oda
 
Lurking Legend? :suresure:
More like Hiding Loser.
Dude is not a legend, the fact that Usopp surprised "there is another one beside Rayleigh", while all Sabaody Straw Hats quickly recognized Rayleigh, shows the difference of infamy between the 2.

And this loser actually spends his life hiding in his junior Shanks' territory (junior in Roger crew), really shameless.
Conveniently ignoring Jinbe recognising his legend on the very same page

Scopper looks more in shape than drunkard Rayleigh
 
Ready for the accusations of sour grapes, but this chapter really just confirmed all the issues I have with Gaban coming back as a wise mentor character. Just been done before.

We got the generic “oh, this guy is just like Roger” flashback that we’ve already seen a billion times. And Oda’s saying Gaban is old gen Sanji with all the subtlety of a brick, and with the worst part of Sanji’s personality. We didn’t need Ray introduced getting lost and someone saying “LOOK IT’S OLD ZORO”.

And then we have the dumb test. We are long past the stage of anyone thinking that Luffy needs “tested”. Ray didn’t feel he even needed to test Luffy and that was years ago when luffy was a comparative weakling. The resemblemce to Roger was enough, not his strength. Now Gaban already knows that Luffy defeated Kaido and he’s still doing it? How strong does he think Loki is lol?

And in general, if you have characters called Gold, Silver and Copper (Bronze), I really don’t think it makes much sense to spend like fifteen years going into Gold and Silver in detail, then finally go ”but the number three guy, I’ve spent next to no time on, he’s cool as well.” There’s a reason why the OP fights always go Sanji first, then Zoro, then finally Luffy. It makes more dramatic sense.

Gaban has a cool design, though, Oda does usually do well with his cool old men. The scar is a bit marked with flame looking, but no real link to the black ship and the whirlpool so far. And I did find the trolling of him liking when other people get into trouble funny.
You’re also a Shiki hater right? The silver lining is that it being Gaban means Shiki will remain as nothing more than a bronze medalist has-been and overhyped movie villain

We’ve seen the Roger Pirates interact, and we’ve seen Roger’s goodbye to them. Shanks got special treatment with his mysterious crying after Laugh Tale, Ray got special treatment by being the one Roger personally spoke to before leaving. We also saw throughout that Ray is the one Roger is closest to, the only one who doesn’t call him captain, his right hand man etc.

While Roger and Gaban barely spoke to each other and Gaban really got nothing other than a quick mention that he’s stronger than Ray.
