Elbaf Arc: A Captivating Journey
The Elbaf arc in One Piece continues to captivate audiences with its brilliant storytelling and remarkable developments. Recently, chapter 1138 has been hailed as one of the best installments in the series, escalating anticipation for chapter 1139. As the Holy Knights commence their quest to dominate Elbaf, revelations about the rich histories of Nika and the Three Worlds keep fans eager for more.
In the forthcoming chapter, readers can expect a significant unveiling concerning the enigmatic figure in Elbaf, promising to resolve long-standing mysteries. The excitement builds as the narrative delves deeper into the drama surrounding Luffy and his comrades.
Scopper Gaban’s Introduction




Chapter 1139 is set to reveal the identity of the mysterious man associated with Elbaf. This figure has been linked to Aurust Castle, where Luffy, Zoro, and Nami are currently located. Discussions about Shanks touch upon attacks on the Giants, with Luffy speculating a familial resemblance, possibly even a brother. This narrative thread hints that the individual in question is indeed a former member of the Roger Pirates—specifically, Scopper Gaban.
- The identity of the mystery man is finally unveiled.
- He is revealed as a former Roger Pirate.
Scopper Gaban, recognized as one of the strongest subordinates of Gol D. Roger, resembles a key figure in Roger’s crew. With a deep knowledge of the world’s history, Gaban is expected to rendezvous with Luffy, likely sharing engaging lore surrounding the Pirate King’s escapades and connections to Shanks.

Insights into Shanks’s Past

If Scopper Gaban is indeed introduced in chapter 1139, fans may finally gain insight into Shanks’s formative years, during which the Roger Pirates played a pivotal role. Gaban discovered Shanks at God Valley, suggesting potential connections to the God Valley Incident and the multiple battles that unfolded there. This development could pave the way for compelling flashbacks that readers cherish.
The impact of this chapter will resonate not only with the Straw Hat Pirates but also with the former members of the Roger Pirates, as audiences gain a deeper understanding of Shanks’s character and his past alliances.

All these revelations depend on whether Oda confirms Gaban as the mystery character. Should this figure turn out to be someone else, the narrative may take unexpected paths that could still link back to Shanks through alternate means.

Chapter 1139 will also spotlight the Holy Knights within Elbaf, who are determined to exert control over the region. In previous chapters, their explicit plan to target children shows their ruthless approach, as they eye Walrus School as their next objective. This situation could lead to increased challenges for the Straw Hat Pirates.
There’s an announcement of a new addition to the Holy Knights, although the identity remains undisclosed. This addition could play a crucial role as the Knights aim to execute their plans swiftly; any hesitation could lead to discovery and thwart their mission.

Fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming chapter of One Piece, especially since Oda will be taking a break afterward—one he certainly deserves after this streak of thrilling chapters.
Readers can access One Piece through Viz Media, with official and free reading opportunities available on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus platforms. Chapter 1139 is scheduled for release on February 9, 2025.
