Is Scopper Gaban Really the Mysterious Man with the Burn Scar?

 After his first appearance, Scopper Gaban was revealed to have a burn scar on his right forehead. This immediately sparked speculation—could he be the infamous "man with the burn scar" that holds the key to finding One Piece?

However, after analyzing what we know so far, there are strong reasons why Gaban might not be the person in question.

The Mystery Behind the Burn Scar Man

According to multiple sources, the "man with the burn scar" is said to:

✅ Sail on a pitch-black ship

✅ Have the ability to create massive whirlpools that can sink other ships

✅ Be a crucial figure in uncovering the true secret of One Piece

This mysterious person is someone that all major pirate factions—including the Blackbeard Pirates—are searching for.

Why Gaban Doesn't Fit the Role

🚫 Gaban has been living in Elbaf for over 20 years

He has settled down with his partner, Ripley, and his child, Colon. If he truly was the burn scar man, he would have been actively sailing, but instead, he has remained on Elbaf for decades.

🚫 No mention of a pitch-black ship or whirlpools

So far, Gaban has not shown any connection to the black ship or the ability to create whirlpools. If he had such powers, they would have been hinted at by now.

🚫 The timeline doesn’t match

The burn scar man was mentioned as an active figure in recent years, but Gaban has been absent from the world stage. If he was truly this mysterious man, why would he stay hidden for so long?

So Who is the Real Burn Scar Man?

If Gaban isn’t the one, then the real "man with the burn scar" must be someone else entirely—possibly a new character or even a legendary figure from the Void Century.

Some theories suggest:

🔹 Saul, who was previously revealed to be alive and has scars from the Ohara incident.

🔹 A completely new character, who has yet to make an appearance but holds crucial knowledge about the Road Poneglyphs.

🔹 Someone tied to Joy Boy's legacy, playing a vital role in guiding Luffy toward One Piece.

With the final saga unfolding, it’s only a matter of time before the truth about this enigmatic figure is revealed.

What do you think? Could there be another hidden clue that points to the real identity of the man with the burn scar? 🔥⚓
