by

As One Piece delves deeper into the lore of Elbaf, revealing old secrets and creating fresh enigmas, its newest volume, “The Harley,” was recently published on July 4, 2025. Encompassing chapters 1134 to 1144, this volume delves into the storyline of the land of giants. It investigates an immense mural that could provide insight not only about the world’s origins but also foreshadows the final conflict and how the series might come to a close. For readers who are already up-to-date with the manga, this volume serves as an excellent means of catching up on recent happenings.

In the latest edition, just like every other book, you’ll find the popular SBS segment, where the creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, answers fan questions. SBS 112 is no different, offering a blend of amusing and strange queries. However, one question about the Roger Pirates catches our attention due to its insight. In his answer, Oda not only clarifies Scopper Gaban’s role in the crew, which is relevant given his current arc involvement, but also discloses crucial details about other key members of the Pirate King’s legendary crew. This provides a clearer picture of the powerful lineup that once sailed under Gol D. Roger.

Eiichiro Oda Reveals Roger Pirates’ Core Members and Their Roles in SBS 112

In the latest SBS 112, a fan asks about Scopper Gaban’s role within the Roger Pirates. Eiichiro Oda shares that he previously disclosed some general info about the Roger Pirates in SBS 96, but now he’ll unveil the main members of the Pirate King’s crew, along with their individual responsibilities. Here are the key crew members and their roles, as revealed most recently:

1. Scopper Gaban – First Mate
2. Dr. Hogback – Ship’s Doctor
3. Boa Hancock – Treasure Hunter and Empress of Amazon Lily
4. Bartholomew Kuma – Executioner Devil Fruit user
5. Jinbe – Advisor to the Pirate King and Fish-Man Island ally
6. Shanks – Right Hand Man (not a core member, but an important figure)
7. Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard) – Substitute Captain (also not a core member, but significant due to his role in succeeding the Pirate King)

  • Captain – Gol D. Roger
  • First Mate – Silvers Rayleigh
  • Navigator – Scopper Gaban
  • Tactical Officer – Moon Isaac Jr.
  • Doctor – Crocus
  • Helmsman – Donquino
  • Torturer – Millet Pine
  • Scholar – Rowing
  • Informant – Elio
  • Intelligence Officer – Spencer
  • Gunner – Petmermoo
  • Musician – Jackson Banner
  • Shipwright – Blumarine

Ahoy there! Let me share some thrilling insights I’ve stumbled upon. This discovery solidifies that the Roger Pirates were a band of unique individuals, each playing a crucial part in their grand adventure. As their fearless leader, Captain Gol D. Roger, boasted unparalleled might, it was his crew’s diverse abilities and contributions that made possible our journey through perilous waters and the discovery of an island untouched for eight centuries!

In light of the similarities often seen between the Straw Hat and Roger Pirate crews, especially among their top three members, some fans anticipated that Scopper Gaban, who strongly resembles “Sanji” within his crew, would fill a comparable role. However, his position as the navigator for the Roger Pirates introduces an unexpected and thought-provoking element. As Scopper resurfaces and interacts more with the Straw Hats, it appears that One Piece might have an even more significant part for him to play as the story approaches its conclusion.
