Spoiler Alert !!!This section contains spoilers form One Piece Episode 1169.

What to Expect From One Piece Episode 1170

One Piece Episode 1169 finally introduced Scopper Gaban, one of the legendary members of the Roger Pirates, while revealing that he has been living in Elbaf for nearly two decades. Although he guided Luffy and the others to the hidden room containing Loki’s key, Gaban refused to hand it over without first testing the future Pirate King.

Based on the preview and the official episode title, Episode 1170 will focus on the showdown between Luffy and Scopper Gaban. Rather than a battle between enemies, the fight appears to be a test of Luffy’s strength and determination before Gaban entrusts him with the key capable of freeing Loki.

The episode is also expected to explore more of Gaban’s personality and legendary status after the Giants revealed his incredible past as Roger’s “left-hand man” and the warrior known as “Mountain-Eater.” At the same time, the mystery surrounding Loki is likely to grow as the anime continues emphasizing just how dangerous he truly is.

If the anime continues adapting the manga at its current pace, viewers can also expect more insight into Gaban’s connection to Roger’s crew while setting up the next major stage of the Elbaf arc.
