Questions & Mysteries Will we ever see Gin again ?

I think about this a lot more than I’d like to admit...even if he did come back, what would be the reason? Luffy/Sanji et al. are leagues more powerful than they were back then, so unless he’s eaten a DF and mastered Haki, he won’t be a discernible threat in a fight; everything I just said applies to his captain as well, who he was still loyal to at their exit; I doubt he’d become an ally, so there’s seemingly little justification for that particular plot line to get resolved.
The only feasible way I could see this coming to pass is if Blackbeard somehow rounded up all of Luffy’s former vanquished foes (this would require a little research on his part but we know he’s capable of doing that), gave them all stolen DFs, and made them part of his fleet. Gin, Krieg, Kuro, even Arlong could all come back way more powerful and once again oppose the Straw Hats in the Final War. Not a scenario I really see as viable, but that’s about the only way any of them could return and have it make a little sense.

Yes. We will see Gin. Oda hasn't forgotten about Gin. It is just that there is no feasible way to integrate Gin into the story right now. But near the very end, it may be possible to do it, specially if Luffy becomes the Pirate King and decides to unite all pirates against the World Government (think I PotC: At World's End).
Bentham’s coming back regardless, he’s been indispensable every time we’ve seen him. If Gin has also appeared in Impel Down or something, I’d buy the notion he could be important, but there’s no telling how Oda would justify bringing him back now. Would have made more sense for us to see him and (a possibly reformed) Krieg in Paradise, not sure they’re cut from the right cloth to survive in the New World.
He definitely seems to have ambition and pride, I’ll give you that. We have no idea how strong he could have become, so I’m willing to renege on that part of what I said. Still, we’re evidently entering the endgame of One Piece, so it’ll soon be time for anyone who’s gonna be involved in the climax to show up...do you believe that Gin has gotten far enough in his journey by now to make an appearance?
Honestly, the only time Gin could've appeared was in WCI, as a fine addition to one of Big Mom's hentai books, but dude never really appeared... Still, he might appear in the final arc or something, to aid the SH crew, but that's only if Oda hasn't forgot about him.. and I doubt he'll be as strong as Sanji, even.
Maybe we get a cameo. But I don't see Gin getting any kind of extended reappearance. His main role in the story was to give positive context to Sanji's character. I don't see what else he can offer. It would be neat in an epilogue scenario, we see Gin as one of Sanji's customers onboard the Baratie.
