I think that he has aCoC, it's the only way he could have kept up with Roger and Ray, but if I looked at those panels in a void I wouldn't say he used it there.
Yeah, either he has advanced conqueror's, or he has something special due to his lineage that effectively acted as a kind of DF to make up for lacking conqueror's haki.

Like, Sanji for example doesn't require advanced conqueror's to get to top tier.
Once his powers fully develops, it would look like a mythic zoan like power. At that point, advanced armament/observation would be sufficient to get him to top tier

I think Gaban has Future Sight like you pointed out, seemed to me he saw that Luffy and Zoro would stop if he said he surrenders, which is why he was so confident and had a massive grin (Oda put the visual indicator of showing a spark in his glasses). For CoC same thing, no confirmation but post CoC Coating reveal I'm simply gonna assume anyone who has haki streaks coming from their weapon prior to landing has CoC.

Idk yall but the lightning trails are exactly the same of CoC coating. There is an empty blank space around them, and there are flaws in the trails (like tiny holes and gaps)




And after the attack lands, we can still see them



I honestly see no difference from this, other than the quality of the image, which certainly affects the details (unofficial panels vs official VIZ)


Also, why did Luffy and Zoro felt so shocked here? They don't have an idea of who the old man is, so what explains such reaction? Perhaps they felt some unsettling aura?



Going a bit further into what Gaban showed this chapter... Did he saw the future here? This would explain he didn't care about dodging, he might've know that once he surrendered, Luffy and Zoro wouldn't try to land their moves on him.
That shiny eye is advenced future sight prove me wrong, that is why he said if the island is not destroyed.

Nothing aside from verbal confirmation means anything at this point, cause Loda is so ass with visuals.

Imagine giving same visuals (of lightning) to basic armament that even fodders have, advanced armament that elites fighters have, and advanced conqueror's that define handful of the strongest. Utter failure.

Loda caused too much confusion amongst the readers to the point dudes are micro analyzing lightning thickness, shape, curve etc.
We have to wait and see if any fodder shows haki lightning streaks post CoC coating reveal, if not then we can take it as Oda has simply updated haki lightning streaks coming from someone's attack as CoC. So far IIRC only Yamato, Big Mom, Kaidou, Luffy, Zoro, Garp, Coby, and now Gaban have shown this post CoC coating reveal. So I don't have a strong reason to completely doubt this atm, the minute someone who should not have CoC shows this then we're back to square one.

This wouldn't be the first time Oda has updated or retconned visuals for haki either.

The shiny eye is "It looks like he's about to go BEAST MODE... just kidding". Classic gag.

He knows they are about to free Loki, that is why he said if the island is not destroyed.

Imagine Gaban chilling and wasting time while his "three hours into the future future sight" has shown him the Holy Knights are about to play a game with his son.
