This struggle will be massive for more reasons than one, and fans will definitely see some incredible combat visions and fantastic feats during the chapter.

Why Luffy has to fight against Scopper Gaban

• Luffy wants the key to Loki's chains

• Scopper Gaban challenged Luffy openly

Luffy and Scopper Gaban will surely fight in the upcoming chapter in A bitAnd this is a battle that Oda himself has created in the story. Gaban is a monster in battle, and certainly someone who is considered the same level of pirate as Roger and Rayleigh. In his premiere he should be Yonko level, and right now he would be slightly weaker than that. But his level of power should be more than enough to match Luffy in battle. It must be remembered that the depiction of Gaban is absolutely incredible. He is a legendary monster that competes with Rayleigh in power and is a pirate of the same caliber as Roger. He is a living legend who knows the truth in the world and is light among the most respected and dreaded individuals in the world. ODA will definitely continue to hype him in the upcoming chapters and the fans will definitely see Gaban show the next level of power soon.

Luffy, on the other hand, will finally be tested by a member of Roger Pirates. Although Luffy has trained under Rayleigh, it is very different to learn from someone than to be tested by someone. Rayleigh is Luffy's mentor, but Gaban will be the one who tests him. Given that Oda himself made a comparison between Gaban and Rayleigh and even Roger, it would be as if Roger and Rayleigh themselves test Luffy just before he claims one paragraph and because of that reason the upcoming struggle will be completely massive. Things will definitely be heated in the Aurutt castle soon and the fans must keep an eye on the events ahead.

Gear 5 Vs The Pirate King's Left Arm?

Luffy's only hope of beating Gaban is Gear 5

Given the power level for Scopper Gaban, this will definitely not be a simple struggle for Luffy. Right now Luffy is at a Yonko level, but Gaban should be comparable to him. It must be remembered that BlackBeard recently came face to face with Rayleigh and chose not to fight him. Although Rayleigh admitted himself that he would not have been able to beat Teach, the fact is that he would have made things very difficult for Blackbeard. As such, the same logic should apply to Gaban. Their effect level should be comparable, which means that Luffy definitely has to develop his very best if he really wants to hit the left arm on the pirate king. Fans should completely expect Luffy to go Gear 5 in battle, although it may not happen immediately after the fight begins.

More than that, you must not forget the other two members of Straw Hat Pirates standing there. Zoro will not be a spectator in this fight, which means he will combine with Luffy to beat Scopper Gaban and win the key.

This makes things even more exciting, especially if both Luffy and Zoro launch powerful attacks on the former left hand of Pirate King.

Fans should not expect Gaban to go easy on them either, because if he really wants to test them he can't risk going easily. Some of Gaban's very best movements are likely to be revealed in a piece of chapter 1140, and it will inevitably be a very exciting struggle. Finally, the fans will have their answer on how Luffy compares to the crew at Pirate King, and that is what makes the upcoming chapters very exciting.

The result of Luffy vs. Scopper Gaban

Luffy and his group can secure the key

There are two important things to consider when talking about the battle between Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Scopper Gaban. The first is that this is a test, which means that Luffy absolutely cannot disappoint Gaban here. In one way or another, Luffy must win this battle. The other thing to keep in mind is that if Luffy does not get the key, which is the price to impress against Gaban, Loki cannot be released. This is very important for the plot overall, which means that it absolutely must happen. As such, it can already be said that Luffy and his group manage to take the key from Gaban. But the question remains how.

If you want this key, you have to get past me first. – Scopper Gaban

The answer to that question is probably in none other than Nami. While Luffy and Zoro will be central to the upcoming chapters, none of them will be strong enough to fight Gaban and win easy. This will be a difficult battle even if they combine their powers. But this is exactly where the cat burglary comes in. Nami is a thief and winning this battle does not necessarily need strength. Gaban wants to test them, but the ultimate goal is to steal the key from him. As such, it is very likely that while Luffy and Zoro will keep Gaban busy, Nami will try to do his best and steal the key from him, and it is likely to happen.

Either that, or fans are likely to see the fight being interrupted due to the arrival of the third Holy Knight in a paragraph chapter 1140. If this is the case, Gaban and Luffy must pause his battle and deal with the other problems, first and foremost.

A bit is available to read through Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and free on Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next chapter in one piece, a bit 1140, will be February 23, 2025.
