Battle at Edd War
Twenty-seven years ago, Gaban was present with the rest of the Roger Pirates in the sea known as Edd War, where they were confronted by Shiki, the captain of the Golden Lion Pirates. Shiki demanded to form an alliance with the Roger Pirates in hopes of taking over the world and if they did not agree, Shiki would destroy them with his armada. While this event occurred, Scopper tried his best to calm down Buggy, who was hoping to surrender to Shiki, but in the end Roger refused the alliance thus resulting in an epic battle where the entire crew, including Scopper fought it out. Luckily, fate was on the Roger Pirates' side as during the battle, a massive storm formed and sunk half of Shiki's armada, resulting in the Roger Pirates' victory. This event was forever know as the Battle in Edd War.

The Pirate King's Execution
It is unknown whether or not he attended his captain's execution at Loguetown, but a year before their captain's death the entire crew disbanded and went their own separate ways. What became of Scopper is unknown.

Trivia

 * The name "Scopper" may be a reference to copper, continuing the theme of rare metals among the senior members of the Roger Pirates (Gold Roger, Silvers Rayleigh, Scopper Gaban).
 * Another possible reference to the metals naming scheme of the Roger Pirates is that Scopper Gaban's name bears semblance to Space Sheriff Gavan, a character from the Metal Hero tokusatsu superhero TV series.
