One Piece chapter 1149 finally reveals the strongest warrior in elbaf
One Piece chapter 1149 finally reveals the strongest warrior in elbafcredit- Fandom
Such as this legendary pirate who returns as Oda continues to flip the power rankings on his head in the world's most popular anime
The resulting chapter has caused an uproar among One Piece fans across the globe. Of course, Chapter 1149 not only brought us glorious combat sequences, but it set the stage with some key characters who'll shape the Elbaf arc for years to come! For long-time observers and first-time readers, this chapter could be one of the most consequential in the whole saga.
Perhaps most striking is the fact that the strongest warrior in Elbaf has finally been introduced — and it's someone tied to the lineage of the Pirate King himself. Here's a quick rundown of what went down and why it's significant.
Who is the strongest man in elbaf?
Scopper Gaban
steps out of the shadows
After decades of veneration, Scopper Gaban has finally returned — and he's arguably stronger than anyone in Elbaf. Often referred to as the left-hand man of Gol D. Roger, Gaban was one of the most notorious pirates of the Golden Age of the Pirate King.
Now, in Chapter 1149, it's been proven unequivocally he is the strongest warrior of Elbaf.
'He's the man equal to Roger and Rayleigh.' — Elbaf Giants
Even in a country like Elbaf, where the strongest of Giants are wary of Gaban's strength. In the new chapter, there's a crucial scene where Jinbe declares that Gaban is a match for Silvers Rayleigh, with another character, Colon, even calling Gaban 'the strongest of the strong.' This surely puts Gaban above even the dreaded Giants of Elbaf.

For fans who've been waiting their whole lives to see Gaban kick ass, this was an emotional moment and evidence that Oda is willing to explore the Pirate King's legacy.
Gaban was part of Roger's elite trio
The legendary trio: Roger, Rayleigh, and Gaban
Long before Luffy and the Straw Hats came on the scene, the Pirate King's Roger Pirates and his crew were the ones to gaze upon a king's road. At the center of this crew were three almost mythological figures, Gol D. Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, and Scopper Gaban.
These three were described as being on level footing with one another in strength, each able to go up against entire fleets by itself.
Considering this backstory, it's no surprise that Gaban would be so revered in Elbaf. Even if he is past his prime, his raw might, experience, and Haki talent make him an intimidating figure even 500 years later.
Is Luffy stronger than gaban? Elbaf's power rankings explained
Luffy and Loki are close contenders, but not the top
While Scopper Gaban might be the strongest right now in Elbaf, others are rapidly catching up in strength and power. Two alternate names loom large:
Him being the Prince of Elbaf, it's mentioned that he has forbidding power and Haki. Not much is known about his complete skill set, but some think he could soon be competing with Gaban.
Of these, only Monkey D. Luffy, now one of the Four Emperors (Yonko) himself, could best Gaban at full strength. Of course, that all hasn't stopped Luffy from taking out Old Man Hallejudice, or previously fighting the likes of legendical Kaido and coming out on top. Arguably, even in the eyes of the always optimistic Luffy, Gaban's experience and wisdom might just be what makes him the most dangerous opponent.
While Luffy's power definitely outmatches him by this point, Gaban is still Elbaf's number one—if only until Elbaf actually joins Luffy.

The most powerful villain in One Piece is finally making moves
Chapter 1149 didn't end with merely bringing Gaban into the story. It signaled the Inauguration of Imu, the world's enigmatic ruler. Relying on and even worse, being dependent on the body of the power of a Holy Knight Gunko, now Imu is physically in Elbaf.
This all serves as a prologue to something much greater, though: a war between the Straw Hats and the world's real ruler. If Imu is at full power, they would quickly turn into the most dangerous creature on the globe—even more so than Gaban or Rayleigh by leaps and bounds.
This development has left fans reeling, naturally – for it has confirmed that one of One Piece's greatest twists and reveals means the series has finally arrived at its endgame.
