The spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1139 reveal that this installment is titled "The Mountain Eater." Notably, it features a cover story with Who's Who attempting to eliminate Page One and Ulti. This chapter is relatively brief, consisting of only 13 pages, marking it as one of the shortest in recent releases.
The Mysterious Man Unveiled
The chapter begins by focusing on the enigmatic figure wearing the Kasa Hat, who was previously seen near Elbaph Castle. Hints suggested that he was connected to the Roger Pirates, and it is confirmed that this mysterious man is none other than Scopper Gaban, a former member of the disbanded Roger Pirates. Interestingly, his introduction box refers to him as 'Ya-san.'
Scopper Gaban's Background
The spoilers further disclose that Scopper Gaban is the husband of Ripley, the biology teacher from Walrus School, and the father of Colon, who previously attempted to attack Luffy. In Elbaph Village, the giants enlighten the Straw Hat Pirates—Luffy, Zoro, and Nami—who remained behind about Gaban's identity. They reveal that Scopper Gaban was the 'left-hand man' of the Pirate King and now resides on Elbaph Island, presumably due to his marriage to Ripley. Gaban is also regarded as a 'legendary star,' considered an equal to notable figures like Gol D. Roger and Silvers Rayleigh.
Tensions Rise at Elbaph Castle
The narrative then shifts back to Elbaph Castle, where Ya-san uncovers a 'secret treasure room' and retrieves the keys needed to free Loki from his chains. After acquiring the keys, he confronts the Romance Dawn trio, challenging Luffy to a duel for the keys that would liberate the cursed prince of Elbaph.
Future Implications
As previously announced, the One Piece manga will be on break next week. With the reveal of Scopper Gaban, it seems more plausible that he is the mysterious man rather than Shiki. The first appearance of the mysterious man in Chapter 631 depicted him sharing a drink with Crocus, another former Roger Pirate, hinting at a possible reunion.
While Shiki's introduction may be delayed, he is already confirmed as a canon character. Meanwhile, Scopper Gaban's presence on Elbaph suggests a deeper connection with the later King Herald, given his access to the secret room in the castle. Fans are encouraged to await further clarification from the official release or raw scans.
