Can’t wait to see him fight with Gaban at god valley. Silver Axe vs the Mountain Eater is going to be hype!
When Silver Axe was first introduced I had a theory/ speculation that he would be Gaban’s main opponent @ god valley.
I also had a backstory that Silver Axe was someone who ate the mythical fruit, Dog Dog Fruit: Model Werewolf and that he went around sadistically and purposefully infecting / transferring his lycanthropy to others (the special ability of his fruit) so that he could watch them turn into werewolves every full moon after which they would lose control and kill those closest to them before he would put them down using his “Silver Axe”. The thinking was that Gaban was someone who had been infected at a young age by silver axe but due to his indomitable will, he was able to retain some semblance of control. Fearful that he would hurt those closest to him, he lived in exile in the forest, until he met Roger and Rayleigh one day. Roger immediately took an interest in Gaban and invited him to join his crew, ending his loneliness.
This all culminated into the fight at god valley which I believe happened during a full moon allowing Gaban to use his werewolf form to kill Silver Axe.
Bit of a fan fiction, but this was my thinking before Gaban’s character was expounded upon.
