Manga One Piece is currently in Arc Elbaf, where the straw hat visits the legendary land of the giant. The whole band was welcomed by everyone, this is not like any island they have ever come. Because Elbaf is not related to the world government and the Luffy group is familiar with some giants there, they are enjoying a comfortable time on a new island.
However, Shamrock and Gunko invaded Elbaf to ruin their fun. Two holy mites tried to recruit Loki but failed. But Shamrock also has another brutal plan to capture Elbaf.
Not knowing about the danger is approaching, Luffy still tries to fulfill his promise to Loki. The two had an agreement that as long as Luffy could free Loki, the prince would tell Luffy everything he knew about Shanks. Although Zoro did not agree, Luffy still tried to free Loki because he wanted to meet Shanks.
In Loki rescue journey, Luffy met one of the most legendary pirates in history. Earlier, the manga introduced this pirate in a chapter, but the color version broke the suggestion.
Manga One Piece tricked fans that Gaban was really Shiki
The cover photo of One Piece chapter 631 has Crocus and Gaban is drinking alcohol at Twin Cape in Reverse Mountain. Crocus and Laboon lived there for more than five decades. Considering Gaban and Crocus are former teammates who have shared the rings of the Roger Pirate King, so it is reasonable when they will drink alcohol if they meet.
However, the official hair color gave Gaban blonde instead of white hair. Combined with a yellow and orange striped cloak, on the top of a straw hat, anyone will believe that the person on this cover is Shiki.
Shiki was a former member of the Rocks pirate and was the first prisoner to escape from the Naval Prison Impel Down. He was first mentioned in Chapter 530 but still had not appeared in the manga. In addition, he is also the main villain of One Piece Film: Strong World, an unofficial film.
With Shiki's past and villain, it was strange that he sat drinking with Crocus like his old friends. Because the color print is officially implemented by Shueisha, no one doubts the legality of the cover. Since chapter 631 was released in July 2011, fans have mistakenly thought that the man was Shiki. It was not until Chapter 1139 of One Piece, the new misunderstanding was relieved.
That man is Gaban, currently living in Elbaf. He met Luffy and his crew in chapter 1139 One Piece when talking about his relationship with Ripley.
Gaban immediately impressed with the willingness to accept Luffy's risks as Roger did. However, Luffy wanted to free Loki but Gaban was the one who was responsible for monitoring the criminal. He was ready to deliver the key if Luffy defeated him.
