Unlike Gaban's bum ass, Rayleigh is very important character.
- Made his debut in chapter 500 (unlike Gaban who appears randomly in 1139)
- Just look at how Rayleigh made his debut, flexing CoC and made everyone aware of his aura. Compare that to Gaban made his debut attacking fodder Road and missed.
- Fucked Admiral Kizaru and made him frustrated.
- Invaded Marineford once.
He embarrassed Kizaru and went to Marineford, all without any consequence. Whole Navy knows he lives freely in Sabaody (which is not under any Yonko's protection unlike Elbaf, and actually pretty close to Marineford iirc), even Hero of the Navy Garp highly worried of him, yet they all did nothing to Rayleigh.
- Became Luffy's personal mentor during timeskip.
- Fucked the Sabaody Navy once more right after timeskip, and again no consequence.
- Rescued Hancock.
- Made Yonko Blackbeard retreating.
- Have Godlike reputation.
All happened while Gaban hid his ass in his former junior's territory. Dude basically admitting he's afraid of Kaido, sharing same little dick energy with
Greenshoes.
He won't even become relevant anymore after Elbaf arc (that's assuming he survives and not actually getting killed when he jobs to Shamrock to complete the Sanji's parallel in being perfect hype tool). After Elbaf arc he only appears in cover story or a few small panels every 50 chapters or so.
Unlike Rayleigh which becomes 1 of most important character in the manga, Gaban is most likely one arc only character. Another relic of the past, like Don Chinjao. Well probably slightly less than Chinjao, because at least Oda gives CoC to Chinjao.
