Scopper Gaban is a former member of Roger's pirate crew.
Scopper Gaban's backstory hasn't been explored in detail, and we don't really know much about his history, except for the obvious fact that he joined the Roger Pirates at some unspecified point in the past. One day, the crew attacked a ship, where some found a Devil Fruit. The captain said that anyone who wanted could eat it, which Buggy did.
More than twenty-eight years before the beginning of the story, the crew sailed to Water Seven, where carpenter Tom built the Oro Jackson for them. Twenty-five years before the beginning of the story, they encountered Shiki's fleet. Buggy, fearing for his life, tried in vain to persuade the captain not to fight. Gaban then grabbed the tassel on his cap to restrain him, telling him he had to resign because they had been seeing Roger for a lifetime and had never been able to stop him.
Thus, he participated in the Battle of Edd's War, where a sudden storm sank half of the Golden Lion's ships and allowed Roger's crew to escape. The following year, the crew landed on an island where they defeated some marines. Later, the Whitebeard Pirates also arrived, and Roger decided to have one last showdown with his rival. The two crews fought for three days straight, finally feasting together on the fourth day.
Shortly after, the Kozuki family boarded the Oro Jackson, as Roger begged Newgate to lend him Kozuki Oden for a year to decipher the Poneglyph they had found and achieve their goal. On this occasion, Gaban was surprised to see his captain bow. However, Whitebeard accepted this request, as Oden himself had asked him to, as he wanted to discover his family's connection to these inscriptions.
In return, the Roger Pirates left all their treasure and supplies to the rival crew, who in turn returned them to the Kozuki family. Soon after, the crew noticed that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi had also secretly boarded the ship to follow Oden.

The crew, already in possession of Big Mom's copy of her Road Poneglyph, reached Skypiea and returned to Water Seven. The crew then passed near Tequila Wolf and landed on the Sabaody Archipelago. While heading towards Fish-Man Island, the ship was intercepted by Neptune.
After landing, the king announced to the pirates the prophecy that the island would be destroyed, fearing that day would come, knowing Roger's own abilities. His fears grew when it was reported that a Sea King and the Border Bulla had damaged the harbor entrance gate. However, at that time, Shirley declared that the event would not occur until after the birth of the Mermaid Princess.
Neptune then accompanied the pirates to the sea forest and showed them the two poneglyphs, which Oden read. There, Gban reiterated to the king that they had nothing to do with the prophecy. Neptune then revealed everything he knew about Poseidon's ancestral weapon. Later, Oden deciphered another Poneglyph on a certain island, and the pirates landed in Wano Country. Once there, Oden deciphered the information in the third Road Poneglyph and decided to leave Kozuki Toki and her two children there after the woman fell ill.
Even Inuarashi and Nekomamushi agreed to stay behind while the daimyo continued his journey. Thus, they later arrived at Zou, where Oden deciphered the final Road Poneglyph. Once in possession of all the information needed to reach the final island, the crew reached it immediately. However, Buggy fell ill shortly beforehand, so Crocus prevented him from setting sail on the final voyage.
Shanks decided to stay by his side. Thus, twenty-three years before the beginning of the story, the crew discovered what happened during the hundred years of the Great Void, the mystery behind the Will of D., and the truth about the three ancient weapons.
Upon arriving at the famous treasure, Gaban burst out laughing along with his entire crew. It was precisely for this reason that they decided to name Raftel Island after "Laugh Tale." Roger then thanked his crew and then disbanded them. After celebrating, Gaban was among those who offered his help to Oden in opening the borders of Wano Country, but the daimyo refused. Later, Roger was the first to abandon ship. After bringing Oden back to his homeland, Gaban separated from the other members.
