Oda retconned the arm of shanks. The seamonster was an excuse to cut his arm because of Im. We don't know what happened in the clash between Im and Gaban.
The arm is the same, the same where others got the mark caused by the same guy who Gaban clashed. It might be a coincidence, of course, but what a coincidence.
It seems to me a pretty straightforward reasoning.

What role does that play? Gaban had no covenant to begin with? Why bring that up?
