Recently, we saw Gin and the pirate captain Don Krieg in Chapter 67, during the Baratie arc, where they had to face defeat at the hands of the pirate chef Sanji. Gin, the former companion of Don Krieg, hinted that they might meet again someday on the Grand Line.
The events took place 25 years ago, and there has been no sign of the return of the pirate captain Krieg or Gin until now. In One Piece Chapter 1117, when Vegapunk was talking with the world government, we noticed a familiar face among the first division of the Marines. On the left, we can see Pearl, and on the right, standing behind the lines, are Don Krieg and Gin.
The One Piece fandom has been buzzing with speculation about the long-awaited return of Gin, especially since there has been no official confirmation of his appearance in the latest chapters. Gin and Don Krieg have become memes within the One Piece community, particularly after we revisited their past, and fans are now excited about the possibility of their return.
A particularly enthusiastic fan declared: “The Krieg Pirates have arrived! Gin, Pearl, and Krieg are all here in the manga! They have arrived at the elite stage and are based in Hachinosu!”

Also making a return is Mont Blanc Cricket, along with the Sky Island’s connections, but he hasn’t been seen for 20 years since the conclusion of the Sky Island Saga, leading many to believe that all characters are still alive and well.
Smoker, who hasn’t been seen since the Dressrosa Saga, seems to be on the move while the events of Egghead are unfolding. It is still unclear where he is headed, but we can expect many exciting developments in the next chapter of One Piece.
