Who Is The Man With Burn Scar?

One Piece Episode 1083 was the first time that the man with the burn scar was mentioned by any character in the story. This is an indication that things have become more serious than ever. When Luffy heard about this mysterious individual, he was confused. He did not have the faintest idea about who it could be. Law did not comment or share his thoughts after hearing this information. But from his facial expression, it seemed that he had heard the name before. At the moment, there is no way to figure out the identity of the man with the burn scar, but there are a few names floating around. One name in particular stands out from the rest.

The person is none other than Scopper Gaban. He was a member of the Roger Pirates, with whom he traveled to Laugh Tale. This means he is aware of its location, and he should be able to reach the island if the need ever arises. Scopper Gaban has yet to make an appearance in the current timeline, which is rather odd. He is a high-ranking member of the Roger Pirates, so the World Government would be doing its best to catch and execute him.

It is likely that Scopper Gaban was hounded by the Marines and engaged in a bitter struggle with them. The Marines wouldn't send a low-level fighter to deal with Scopper Gaban, so it is possible that they relied on the service of one of the Admirals. An Admiral's powers can cause problems for even the best of fighters. Therefore, an altercation with some high-ranking Marine or some other powerful individual could have given Scopper Gaban his burn scars.

There is a chance that it could be a character who has yet to be mentioned in the series at all. It makes sense why Oda has kept his identity under wraps, as he wants to reveal the character when the time is right. Considering the character is linked to the One Piece, it is understandable that he would want to hide. He will be aware of the interest of pirates and Marines in him. If he is ever caught by either of the two sides, they will do their level best to get the information out of him. To avoid these problems, it is very likely that this person is living on an island that is not affiliated with the World Government.

What Makes The Man With Burn Scar So Special

There are a total of four Road Poneglyphs in One Piece. They are massive steles that are made of seastone, making them nearly indestructible. By finding all four Road Poneglyphs, a person will learn how to reach Laugh Tale. So far, the location of only three has been disclosed. The final Road Poneglyph's whereabouts remain a mystery, and this is where the man with the burn scar comes in. If he knows where it is located, then the person who can find the man will be at a huge advantage. It seems the first few arcs in the Final Saga of One Piece will be about finding this mysterious individual.

How Can The Straw Hats Find Him

In One Piece Episode 1083, the Straw Hats were getting ready to choose their next destination. While it has not been confirmed yet, it is highly obvious that they are headed to Elbaf. It is the country of giants, and it has no ties with the World Government. Giants are renowned for their strength, and not even the World Government would want to wage a war with them. This makes it a great place to hide.

When the Straw Hats reach Elbaf, they won't have to befriend the natives. The crew has already met Dorry, Brogy, Kashii, and Oimo. All four of them are on good terms with the crew, and they might use their influence to help the Straw Hats get in contact with the man with the burn scar.
