Abilities and Powers


Not much is known about Gaban's strength or abilities. During a fight against the Whitebeard Pirates, Roger stated that he was one of his best men alongside Rayleigh, suggesting that he was as strong as the first mate and was even willing to fight alongside him.

Weapons
During Buggy's flashback, Gaban was shown wielding two axes in his right hand and another weapon in his left hand, during a raid on a ship. He is also seen with the axes during a fight against the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Roger Pirates' Journey
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, Gaban 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 Gaban 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 known as the Battle of Edd War.

Around 26 years ago, the Roger Pirates were causing a ruckus on an island. After defeating a group of Marines, they learned that the Whitebeard Pirates docked on the other side of the island. The Roger Pirates were then confronted by Kozuki Oden. Scopper Gaban and Rayleigh prepared to fight him, but Roger charged in and blew Oden away with a single slash. The Roger Pirates clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates for three days. After the battle, the crews formed a truce and exchanged gifts. The Roger Pirates were later joined by Oden and his family as well as Inuarashi and Nekomamushi. At some point, the Roger Pirates visited Skypiea.

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 Gaban is unknown.

Trivia
