Following the incredible lore and worldbuilding developments of the last issue, One Piece chapter 1139 spoilers were expected to continue this focus at least in part. Unofficially shared earlier this week, they did offer some exciting revelations, but not of the nature fans expected.

Instead, the One Piece chapter 1139 spoilers saw Scopper Gaban officially introduced, confirming him as Colon’s father and Ripley’s common law husband. In the process of Gaban’s introduction, it also seems that he’s teased as the enigmatic Man Marked by Flames thanks to a key feature on his face.

One Piece chapter 1139 spoilers begin with the issue’s title of “Mountain Eater,” which is “Yamagurai” in Japanese and references the Giants of Elbaph’s nickname for Scopper Gaban. The spoilers then discuss the cover story, which sees two silhouetted figures brought before Who’s Who as he draws his Katana to punish them. However, features such as horns and their overall designs suggest the pair to be Page One and Ulti.

Spoilers then discuss the issue’s story content, claiming it to begin at Aurust Castle with a focus on Luffy and co. The Giant guards say they don’t know where Loki’s key is, and Luffy’s allies are unable to find it after searching. They eventually make their way to the throne room, entering and noticing a hole in the ceiling, as well as a magic circle on the floor. As Nami explains what it is and Road asks why it’s here, Luffy comments on having seen something similar recently.

This is most likely a reference to the Egghead Arc, further implying that this magic circle is the same one that the Gorosei used. One Piece chapter 1139 spoilers then see a voice call out to Luffy, followed by a huge ax flying at Road. He barely dodges it while Luffy and Zoro jump from Road’s hands, the former catching Nami before handing her off to Zoro. The mystery character from the last chapter is then seen sitting on the throne, and is who called out to them.

Road identifies him as “Mr. Ya” before asking what he’s doing here, explaining he sensed an abnormal Haki earlier which is now gone. He then celebrates having found them instead, saying he heard Luffy defeat Kaido and how it makes him want to go to Wano again. Spoilers claim that “Ya-san” is clearly Scopper Gaban from the Roger Pirates, saying they have the same hair, sunglasses, and most notably, a scar on his forehead shaped similarly to a flame.

One Piece chapter 1139 spoilers see Road introduce Ya–san as Ripley’s common law husband and Colon’s father, with Nami asking how that’s possible. Gaban comes down from the throne and says races have mixed plenty of times in history, such as the Wotans, Buccaneers, and more. He adds that “love is freedom,” calling himself the Missionary of Love which prompts Luffy to say this must be what Sanji will be like when he gets old.

Luffy then tells Gaban they’re looking for the key to Loki’s cuffs, prompting him to ask Luffy if he knows what kind of man Loki is and what he’ll do if the worst happens. Luffy confidently says he’ll defeat him, prompting Gaban to explain how strong Loki is and how far-reaching the damage he causes could be. However, Zoro and Luffy begin walking off due to the speech being too long, prompting Nami to chastise them and Road to apologize to Gaban.

Gaban is shown to be shocked, but smiles as he remembers a similar momentum he had with Gol D. Roger and Silvers Rayleigh. Focus then returns to the present, where Gaban tells Road to push the royal throne. One Piece chapter 1139 spoilers then shift focus to the village, where Oimo is telling Usopp and the others about Gaban. He says that his Mountain Eater nickname comes from a time when he took Roger for treatment in a hospital in the middle of a mountain.

Gaban apparently defeated every one of them with just two axes, with no trees left on the mountain after, hence his nickname. Focus then returns to Aurust Castle, where Road carries Luffy and the others to a secret treasure room beneath the throne. However, all that’s left is the key to Loki’s cuffs. One Piece chapter 1139 spoilers end by claiming Gaban challenges Luffy to a fight for the key to Loki’s cuffs as Oimo and Kashii officially introduce Ya-san as Scopper Gaban.
