At the same time, this chapter was also very special in the sense that fans finally got to witness the strength of the mightiest man in Elbaf, along with the introduction of the main villain of the arc, something which the fans have been waiting for since forever now.

Scopper Gaban Is The Strongest Man In Elbaf

He Is On Par With Roger And Rayleigh

When it comes to all the mightiest characters in Elbaf, there are few who leave as much of an impression as Scopper Gaban. Fans know that Gaban is a monster who was once considered to be a part of the special trio of the Roger Pirates. Of all the crew, there were three who were considered to be special, and they were Roger, Gaban, and Rayleigh. It is said clearly in Elbaf that Roger, Gaban, and Rayleigh were on par with each other, which just goes to show that they're monsters in their own right.

He's the man equal to Roger and Rayleigh. — Giants

Right now, Scopper Gaban is the strongest in Elbaf, and One Piece chapter 1149 reiterated this. Not only did Oda go on to have Jinbe state that Gaban rivals Rayleigh in power, but at the same time, he has Colon say that his dad is the strongest of the strongest, implying that he is the mightiest in the entire country, more than even the Giants.

Loki And Luffy Are Up There With The Strongest

Loki Is Said To Be A Monster In Strength And Luffy Is A Yonko

While Gaban is clearly the strongest in Elbaf, there are also other monsters in the country, those being Loki and Luffy. As far as Loki goes, fans don't know how strong he truly is, but what's clear is that he's a monster capable of great destruction. Loki has great Haki, and on top of that, a legendary Devil Fruit using which he can destroy Elbaf and potentially even the world.

Today Is A Great Day For One Piece Fans

One Piece fans have great news to look forward to, and it has to do with the manga.

Meanwhile, Luffy is a Yonko and fans already know that his strength can rival the likes of Kaido. Of course, Luffy just arrived on Elbaf, so it wouldn't be fair to say that he's the strongest man in the country. But, at his full power, Luffy should be stronger than Scopper Gaban, given that Gaban is old and himself admitted to the fact that he has gotten rusty.

Imu Is Most Certainly The Strongest After Taking Over Gunko

Aside from Luffy and Loki, One Piece chapter 1149 also revealed the mightiest characters of all in Elbaf. Gunko, who is a Holy Knight, now serves as a vessel for Imu, which means Imu is now in Elbaf, and this also means that the new strongest in Elbaf is now the main antagonist of the overarching plot of One Piece itself, the sovereign of the world, Saint Imu Nerona. Undoubtedly, Imu at their peak would be stronger than Gaban and Rayleigh.

One Piece Chapter 1150 will be out in a week. As usual, One Piece is going to drop on Sunday. In Japan, One Piece drops at 12AM JST on Monday. However, the vast majority of international readers will see the chapter available on May 11. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1150 is June 1, 2025. Fans can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
