Gaban had to be the single greatest character thats ever been introduced in this series. He's also the only one with the healthy relationships amongst thr old gen. Just like how Sanji will be eos.
He won at life. Amazing design, style, role in the story. The Zoroaches on here can't even deny it, they can only cope and slander like pathetic vermin
They swore up and down that he wouldn't ever show up or be relevant, that he was just a background character, that the hat guy with Crocus had to be Shiki. And just like every other time, they were hilariously wrong. And each and every new chapter only seems to further drive that. They've become so used to having to move the goalposts that at this point I suspect that it just comes automatic now. "Oh but he doesn't have coc!" "Ok he has coc but it's not that strong" Just shameless nonsense that not even they can honestly believe anymore, despite how many times they try to repeat it and convince themselves of their own lies.
Every single panel of him is an unavoidable reminder to them of how utterly clueless and wrong they always are.
