Ready for the accusations of sour grapes, but this chapter really just confirmed all the issues I have with Gaban coming back as a wise mentor character. Just been done before.

We got the generic “oh, this guy is just like Roger” flashback that we’ve already seen a billion times. And Oda’s saying Gaban is old gen Sanji with all the subtlety of a brick, and with the worst part of Sanji’s personality. We didn’t need Ray introduced getting lost and someone saying “LOOK IT’S OLD ZORO”.

And then we have the dumb test. We are long past the stage of anyone thinking that Luffy needs “tested”. Ray didn’t feel he even needed to test Luffy and that was years ago when luffy was a comparative weakling. The resemblemce to Roger was enough, not his strength. Now Gaban already knows that Luffy defeated Kaido and he’s still doing it? How strong does he think Loki is lol?

And in general, if you have characters called Gold, Silver and Copper (Bronze), I really don’t think it makes much sense to spend like fifteen years going into Gold and Silver in detail, then finally go ”but the number three guy, I’ve spent next to no time on, he’s cool as well.” There’s a reason why the OP fights always go Sanji first, then Zoro, then finally Luffy. It makes more dramatic sense.

Gaban has a cool design, though, Oda does usually do well with his cool old men. The scar is a bit marked with flame looking, but no real link to the black ship and the whirlpool so far. And I did find the trolling of him liking when other people get into trouble funny.
Dont know about the rest but test is clearly intended because luffy was yapping how he will just beat up loki, underestimating him and also the damage will cause.
He testing him because luffy probally also thinks he can beat him up, proving a point
 
Sandman said the same thing again, we asked him in GC and he posted the same post :


You ain't helping your case.

Also, they never compared their strength but statut :

• His statut as the left handman of the PK alongside Vice Captain Rayleigh.

• A Legendary character alongside Rayleigh and Roger = similar to Oden with Whitebeard and Roger.
Bro you know this aint gonna help, they have finally got some fuel, they are gonna milk it to the last drop. Its the side by side panel thing but with statements now. They have pushed for Needed a Light being equal or better moment than Nothing Happened.

The biggest winners of this chapter are Shiryu, King and Beckman.
Comparable to Captains hits harder after revealing that the mighty Pirate King is comparable to Scopper. :myman:
And the "WB, the only equal of PK" has officially died. Yall didn't believe me when I said Rayleigh~Roger and Kaido>Roger. :blobevil:

Hopefully, Sanjibros will grow a pair after this and start wishing for some serious opponent for Sanjino, for example, Kuzan.
I know none will dare to argue Sanji vs Luffy tho despite pro-Sanji evidence with #7 and #9...
Overall, so-so chapter, good for agendas and the biggest blow to Pirate King's supremacy ever. Not even mad, it is amazing.
