As the Straw Hats searched a sacred throne room on Elbaf for the key to Prince Loki&#8217;s chains, a cheerful local who called himself &#8220;Mr. Ya&#8221; stepped forward to help. He then revealed himself as <strong>Scopper Gaban<\/strong>, a member of the Roger Pirates and one of the handful of people who ever sailed to Laughtale. Rather than simply handing over the key, Gaban challenged Luffy to take it by force \u2014 setting up tonight&#8217;s episode perfectly.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Is Scopper Gaban, Roger&#8217;s Left Wing?<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/scopper-gaban-young-one-piece.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Young Scopper Gaban in a flashback scene from One Piece\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Toei Animation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Scopper Gaban holds near-mythic status in One Piece lore. As a member of Gol D. Roger&#8217;s crew he was regarded as Silvers Rayleigh&#8217;s equal in combat, a warrior so feared he earned the nickname <strong>&#8220;Mountain-Eater&#8221;<\/strong> \u2014 after single-handedly cutting down every tree on a mountainside to protect Roger from a pirate army. When the Roger Pirates disbanded he drifted to Elbaf, married a giant woman named Ripley, and fathered a son, Colon. He has lived quietly there for twenty years, hidden in plain sight among the giants.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/scopper-gaban-axes-one-piece.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Young Scopper Gaban wielding dual axes in a jungle \u2014 One Piece anime\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Toei Animation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>His weapon of choice is a pair of heavy axes, backed by advanced Haki. No Devil Fruit, no tricks \u2014 just raw power refined during the era when Roger&#8217;s crew was the most dangerous on the seas. In terms of sheer combat pedigree, Luffy has arguably never faced anyone with deeper roots in the story of the One Piece itself.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Expect from Episode 1170<\/h2>\n<p>The official preview from Toei Animation confirms both Luffy <em>and<\/em> Zoro are drawn into the confrontation. Gaban is not a villain \u2014 he is a gatekeeper who wants to know whether Luffy has what it takes to be a worthy successor to Roger&#8217;s will. That framing makes the fight as emotionally loaded as it is action-packed: the current king of the pirates-in-waiting, facing down a living legend from the age that set everything in motion. The preview imagery of axes and Haki suggests a clash that will test Luffy&#8217;s growth since his training with Rayleigh, and Zoro&#8217;s presence hints the fight will escalate well beyond a simple one-on-one.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Watch One Piece Episode 1170 in Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>Singapore fans can stream <strong>One Piece Episode 1170<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchyroll.com\/series\/GRMG8ZQZR\/one-piece\" rel=\"nofollow\">Crunchyroll<\/a> from <strong>10:15 PM SGT on Sunday, 19 July 2026<\/strong>.
