Theory Time is slower in Elbaph

#1
Okay so in last chapter Gaban wonders how much time has passed since Roger's death and he thinks it's about 3 or 4 years and Shanks corrects him and says it's actually been a decade. Gaban mentions it's probably felt longer for Shanks.
Also at the end of the chapter it's confirmed 45 giant years are 15 human years, exactly ⅓.
If we apply this ⅓ rule to the time Gaban has spent at Elbaph we get 3.33 years, exactly between 3 and 4 years as he mentions.

Nah, the Gaban thing is typical in old retired people, they lose track of time as it really has no importance to them anymore, decades can feel like years.

Also, Dorry/Brogy fighting outside of Elbaf for a hundred years completely destroys this argument.

The problem is that WG said Shanks became Yonko Six Years ago,
And i'm sure someone in Elbaph also said that Loki was Imprisoned for Six Years,
Unless Oda made a mistake & didn't notice this, then this might debunk such Theory,

However, it's still High Possibility that Elbaph have indeed a weird timeline.

Like @Welkin said I don’t think there’s a literal time dilation going on between elbaf and the rest of the world. Characters seem to age just as they’d do in the outside world. Instead there seems to be a gap in time perception which honestly could be a really good tool for including a small time skip

Like imagine if the SHs stayed for 1.5 weeks or 2. When they leave we’ll have a month of outside events to catch up. Oda could legit speed up CG and RHP obtaining their RPs, the Revs preparation for an assault, whatever the BBP’s plan to do next etc

Instead of this being centered around the Straw hats, this may give a hint about the types of beings existing during the void century before let’s say Devil fruits.

The world being inhabited by giants before regular sized humans because giants live longer. This theory about time can cover the giant straw hat that Imu stored. Before there were commonly humans there were giants.:kayneshrug:
