Scopper Gaban vs Rayleigh: Who is stronger in One Piece?

Scopper Gaban vs Rayleigh: Who is stronger in One Piece?

Time of India29-04-2025

Scopper Gaban
has finally stepped back into the spotlight in
One Piece
, and fans cannot stop talking about it. Known as one of the Pirate King's most trusted crewmates, Gaban's return during the
Elbaf Arc
has sparked a huge debate: is he stronger than
Silvers Rayleigh
? Both legends were key members of the Roger Pirates, and both are still alive today. But new hints from the story suggest Gaban might have a lot more power than fans ever guessed.
Scopper Gaban strength revealed in Elbaf arc
Scopper Gaban has shown serious power in the latest One Piece chapters. Even though he is older now, he easily lifted a giant-sized key and smashed through a castle tower like it was nothing. Gaban fights without a Devil Fruit, relying only on his body and
Haki
skills. He has a strong Observation Haki, able to sense the God's Knights even when they try to hide their presence. His Armament Haki also looks powerful, and while it's not confirmed yet, many fans believe he also has Conqueror's Haki, just like Rayleigh.
Rayleigh's strength is already well known. During the Sabaody Archipelago arc, Rayleigh fought Admiral Kizaru, one of the Navy's strongest fighters, and held him off without breaking a sweat. Rayleigh can use all three types of Haki perfectly, even in his old age.
Still, the manga hints that Gaban and Rayleigh are equals. Gaban was called the "left hand" of Roger, while Rayleigh was the "right hand." Just like Zoro and Sanji are called the "wings" of Luffy, Gaban and Rayleigh seem to be two sides of the same coin. One is not weaker than the other.
Scopper Gaban will face god's knights in Elbaf
The Elbaf Arc is heating up fast. The God's Knights are attacking Elbaf and trying to kidnap the island's children. They are some of the strongest warriors serving the Celestial Dragons, and until now, nobody could stop them. But Scopper Gaban is about to change that.
Gaban has promised to stop the God's Knights and save the kids. He looks confident and ready for battle. In the next few chapters, fans will finally see Gaban unleash his full power. With his battle experience and sharp mind, Gaban could even find the weakness of the God's Knights, giving the Straw Hat Pirates the chance to strike back and protect Elbaf.
For now, it is clear: whether Gaban or Rayleigh is stronger does not matter much. Both are true legends, and Gaban is just getting started in One Piece's final saga.

Eyes that scroll: A Cannes Lions Social and Creator Special: BE Extraordinary

These are campaigns that stood out for use of social media and creator-led strategies . From playful "sonic branding" challenges, to a B2B strategy disguised as consumer engagement or leveraging a social media platform's community, each one had a unique story to tell. Oreo "Name this Oreo', VML Oreo transformed its iconic cookie into a playful exercise in "sonic branding" and social engagement. The campaign leveraged the simple act of twisting, licking, and dunking an Oreo, translating these actions into a "Morse code" for the brand. Different combinations of cookie and cream created distinct auditory responses, challenging a community of Oreo lovers to "guess the sound." This innovative use of social media didn't just showcase the product; it invited active participation and interpretation, turning the familiar cookie into an auditory puzzle. It bordered on sonic branding, demonstrating how the very act of consuming an Oreo could be playfully interpreted through sound, galvanizing a community around a shared, multisensory experience. Lay's Bar Crawl, Slap Global Lay's amplified its "No Game Without Lay's" slogan with a clever social media campaign featuring football legends Thierry Henry and Lionel Messi on a pub crawl. The premise was simple: the stars would attempt to watch a game at various pubs. Upon entering, their first question would be, "Do you have Lay's?" If a pub didn't stock the chips, the celebrity duo would simply leave and move on. This highly engaging social experiment was designed to be filmed and shared, creating immediate, viral content. It leveraged the immense fan base in pubs, turning every potential sighting of the stars into a demand for Lay's. The implicit message was clear: if you want football legends to watch the game at your establishment, you better have Lay's on hand. This was a brilliant B2B strategy disguised as consumer engagement, driving demand for Lay's in pubs by appealing directly to the desires of their patrons and the influence of iconic athletes. US Navy "Subreddit Hunt", VML The US Navy faced a dual challenge in recruitment: a high benchmark for candidates and difficulty reaching this niche audience. They devised an incredibly intelligent and targeted recruitment campaign using the popular online platform Reddit. Playing on the homophone between "submarines" and "subreddits," the Navy began hiding intricate clues, quizzes, and IQ tests within various subreddits. These challenges were designed to appeal to individuals with the specific skills, intensity, and knowledge required for Navy service. Finding and solving these hidden puzzles demanded significant intellect and persistence, effectively pre-qualifying potential recruits. This highly innovative approach turned a digital space into a sophisticated recruitment tool, leveraging an online community's characteristics to identify and engage a highly specialised talent pool for the US Navy. (At BE Extraordinary, a series about the winners at Cannes Lions written in collaboration with Harsh Kapadia, CCO, Grey India, we peer outside the Grand Prix winners, and look at clutter breaking work that picked the silvers and the bronzes, but don't often get discussed.)

Murder, he wrote

It was a March night in 2011, when Saraswati, a newly-married wife, asked her husband to take her to a movie the next morning. Her husband, Ravi, felt happy that Saraswati had proposed this as he felt she had not opened up to him after their marriage. Ravi thought of this as an opportunity to get to know her better. Little did the poor soul know this was a plan hatched by his wife and her paramour to kill him. As it turned out, Saraswati's lover Karan with the help of his driver dumped his body in Rajasthan's Bhiwadi after the crime. It took nine years for the Delhi police to crack the case. They used a narco-analysis test on the accused to unveil the truth. Former Navy officer, screenplay writer, actor and entrepreneur Kulpreet Yadav documents it in his latest book Dial 100 (HarperCollins), along with six other crime stories spread across the nation. Yadav's acting credits include Jawan, Sirf Ek Banda Kafi Hain, and A Husband's Story, among others, and his screenplay writing includes Olive Green +ve, a web series released on the Waves app of Prasar Bharati. All these cases have the police in common and the cracking of all the cases with the help of technology. 'Our police have to deal with many problems. There are only 150 officers for approx 1,00,000 citizens—so it's a case of overwork. A single police officer has to be involved in investigating multiple cases at the same time. We are also laggards in training. This book covers incidents where they put forward their best efforts. In all these cases, they used technology (CCTV, DNA sampling, narco-analysis test, and other techniques) to catch criminals,' says Yadav. From the very first page, the stories unfold like cinema. 'I have been a screenwriter for three years, so the visual aspect is an important part of my storytelling,' says Yadav. The Delhi connection The book fictionalises three true crime cases with Delhi as setting. The first one is a rape and murder of a minor girl; the second one involves the killing of a newly-married man by his wife and her lover' and the third one is a case of job scam. 'There are many 'famous' crimes that have happened in Delhi, and those have been well discussed. However, many interesting angles often lie hidden in so-called 'smaller' cases. I decided to talk about them,' says Yadav. The three Delhi cases involved cross-border travel and technology so as to get hold of the criminals. For instance, the case of the rape and the murder of the young girl brought up the India-Nepal extradition treaty. 'These cases also fascinated me because the cops showed their human side during investigation. The extradition treaty, signed in the '50s, includes a lot of bureaucratic hassles. However, the cops went to Nepal to catch the criminal because they were pained to see the girl's parents waiting outside the police station. In the Delhi-Alwar murder case, the way the cops utilised the lie-detector test and the narco analysis test, interested me. At first, they neither had the permission nor had the wherewithal to use these two to make the killer confess the crime. So, again, it was the patience of the cops and their brilliance that helped the criminals get caught,' adds Yadav. Crisply told Crisp writing and the short staccato sentences of the book will also appeal to the reader. 'I have been a writer for 19 years, and I have understood that for the majority of Indians, English is not their first language, and many find it difficult to understand. That's the reason I have always tried to write in an English that is easy to understand. I do not want to impress my readers with my language skills. Instead, I want them to be impressed by the story that I am telling,' says Yadav. In Dial 100, Yadav has also used conversation as a device to re-imagine and flesh out the story. For instance, before killing her husband, Saraswati indulges in a romantic conversation with him and gently requests him to take her out the next day. 'Without changing the main facts of the stories, certain scenes have been recreated, and certain dialogues have been introduced, so that they build up suspense for what happens next without giving the game away,' concludes Yadav.
