The manga One Piece has revealed the return of a character just as the Elbaf arc begins. Following the departure from Egghead Island alongside the Straw Hat crew, a mysterious figure has been spotted standing on the shores of Elbaf. Since then, there have been numerous theories about the identity of this person.

Shanks is revealed to be the son of Saint Figarland Garling and the twin brother of Figarland Shamrock, who is known as the “King of the Sea” in his domain.
Previous chapters hinted at the third global war, during which the Sun God Nika will play a significant role. Now, after last week’s surprising events, One Piece Chapter 1139 brings back a character that could potentially be one of the most influential figures in the Straw Hat crew’s journey at Elbaf.
One Piece Chapter 1139 Main Storyline Revealed

One Piece Chapter 1139 spans 13 pages and is titled ‘Mountain Eater.’ This chapter serves as an exploration into the hidden identity of a returning character. The cover page depicts a confrontation involving Yamato in Wano, where Who’s Who is seen preparing to capture Page One and Ulti.
The remainder of the chapter focuses on Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and the ongoing events in the Elbaf arc. The character who has been shrouded in mystery at the start of the Elbaf arc is identified as Scopper Gaban. However, this character is introduced under the alias “Ya-san.”
Gaban reveals himself as the former right-hand man of Ripley and the father of Colon, as well as the ‘beloved mayor’ of Elbaf. Subsequently, he opens a secret treasure room in the grand hall, where he cuts the lock that conceals the treasure of King Loki.

Returning to the throne room, the remaining members of the Straw Hat crew are unable to interpret the significance of Gaban, who is now living in Elbaf. He was once known as “the left hand of the Pirate King” and is regarded as a “legendary star” alongside Roger and Rayleigh.
The final page of One Piece Chapter 1139 shows Gaban challenging Luffy: if he wants the key to King Loki’s treasure, he must fight for it as it is tied to this legendary and infamous name.
One Piece Chapter 1139 is set to be released on Sunday, February 9, 2025. Following this, One Piece will take a break for the upcoming week, which means the next chapter will be delayed.
