This family is far stronger than the Monkey D. family. Their power is rivaled by few.
The Mountain Eater, Scopper Gaban, has now entered the battlefield, and he is going to go all out for the very first time in the story. At the same time, Oda has cleverly also dropped a big hint about not only Gaban’s strength, but also his bounty, which a lot of the fans are dying to know at this point.
Scopper Gaban’s Legendary Status In One Piece
- Scopper Gaban Is On Par With Roger And Rayleigh
- Gaban Cannot Be Beaten Easily
Upon the introduction of Scopper Gaban, fans knew that he was going to be very powerful. However, One Piece’s Elbaf arc showed fans just how strong he truly was. When Gaban was revealed to be in Elbaf, the Giants hyped him up to be a pirate of the same standing as the likes of Roger and Rayleigh. He rivaled the Vice Captain of the crew, and along with Roger and the Dark King, was one of the three monsters that were on the Oro Jackson. Scopper Gaban was described as a living legend whose powers are on par with Roger and Rayleigh, making him a force to be reckoned with for anyone in the world.

Oda also showed Scopper Gaban engaging Luffy and Zoro in combat, and much to the surprise of the fans, both of them were completely overwhelmed by his immense display. Gaban’s firepower, along with his tremendous axemanship, makes him a fighter that hardly anyone can take down. Now, he’s officially joined the battle against the Holy Knights, and as he did that, Oda hyped him up once again to be a legendary figure who is practically invincible.
Oda Drops A Hint About Gaban’s Bounty
Gaban Joined The Battle With Dorry and Brogy
Fans might be confused as to how Oda dropped a hint about Scopper Gaban’s bounty in One Piece chapter 1144, but that is to be expected. After all, the bounty isn’t really predictable upon a surface-level guess. Oda dropped a big hint about Scopper Gaban’s bounty based on the crew he came to the battle with. For those who do not know, Scopper Gaban showed up on the battlefield with Dorry and Brogy, two legendary fighters of the One Piece world, and the famed co-captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates.

Dorry and Brogy are monstrously powerful, and fans know that already. Long ago, they were said to have a bounty of 100 million berries each. This put their cumulative bounty at 200 million berries, which makes sense since they act as the co-captains of the crew. However, in the Elbaf arc, their bounties were revised. It was revealed to the fans that Dorry and Brogy’s new bounty was much higher. Each of them has a bounty of 1.8 billion berries on their head, meaning their bounty as the co-captains of the crew is 3.6 billion berries. This number is extremely impressive, to say the least.

Luffy will be the srtrongest in One Piece by the end of the story. Here’s why.
However, it isn’t the highest figure on the Great Eirik right now, and that’s for sure. Scopper Gaban has a much higher bounty than both of them, which only makes narrative sense. Gaban is stronger than both of them, and a former Roger Pirate who knows the true history of the world.
Even Oda himself implied that Gaban was the strongest on Elbaf when the Giants practically declared the group invincible only after seeing Scopper Gaban with Dorry and Brogy. If Dorry and Brogy have a 3.6. billion berries bounty, then someone stronger will have an even higher bounty. In other words, Scopper Gaban’s bounty is higher than 3.6 billion berries, at the very least.
How High Will His Bounty Be?
A Figure Around 4 Billion Would Make Sense
Scopper Gaban’s bounty is most definitely going to be higher than that of Dorry and Brogy, which puts it over the 3.6 billion berries mark, but fans also have to consider that he knows the whole truth of the world. He is a massive threat to the World Government, which means his reward will be very high. It shouldn’t come as a surprise if his bounty is revealed to be greater than 4 billion berries. However, at the very least, a bounty close to 4 billion berries makes sense.
