One of One Piece's biggest rules is that if a character is in a near-death situation and presumably dead, chances are they actually survived and will return later, unless their body is shown. The likes of Pell, Pagaya, Bon Clay, and many others are examples of this.
Similarly, Sabo's body was never shown, and all that Oda drew was Sabo's hat floating in the water. Knowing how Oda writes, most fans latched on to the fact that Sabo wasn't actually dead and had survived the ordeal. In fact, his return was very much expected in the story. Although Sabo always wanted to chase true freedom, he wasn't keen on the idea of leaving Grey Terminal when he did. His original idea was to set sail at the age of 17, just like Luffy and Ace.
However, the Grey Terminal Incident changed his mind and he realized that he couldn't live in the rotten country that was the Goa Kingdom anymore. Dragon and mentioned that he couldn't live there any longer and that he felt deep shame in being born a Noble.
Meeting one of the most important characters in One Piece just to tell him something that he already knew didn't add anything to the story. However, if this was a set-up for Dragon and Sabo's future relationship, then it made sense, which is what fans immediately assumed. Sabo was shot by a Celestial Dragon who was on his way to the Goa Kingdom.
Not only are the members of the Revolution Army seen crying over whatever this news for Sabo is, Stelly is reacting in a shocked manner to it as well. Taking this news in an even darker direction are Makino and Dadan's reactions back in Foosha Village, as they are both crying over what happened to Sabo.
Given that Sabo's death has been faked out before , it's not likely that he indeed died but it very well could have happened given the twists and turns in this series.
But if it's not Sabo's death the series is teasing, what kind of darker fate could there potentially be that gets all of these characters crying like this? Sabo was trained along with many other orphans by the fish-man Hack, but was already so strong that Hack had nothing to teach him. At age thirteen, Sabo trained under Dragon. One year later, Koala joined the Revolutionary Army and she, Sabo, and Hack went on missions together.
After learning that Ace was killed, Sabo's memories return to him as he cries out in anguish. However, after discovering the news that Ace was killed in the war from a newspaper article, Sabo's memories of Ace quickly returned to him after seeing his photo, which in turn brought back the rest of his lost memories.
Finally remembering their brotherhood, Sabo became grief-stricken from the loss of his brother and his powerlessness to save him. This grief and the shock of his memories returning caused Sabo to come down with a high fever and was unconscious for three days. However, all was not lost - as Sabo would eventually discover that Luffy had survived the battle.
At that point, Sabo resolved to protect his remaining brother at all costs, and that he would come to Luffy's aid wherever and whenever he needed him, [40] and that would not feel the grief of losing a brother ever again, having refused to live life with any more regrets - something he believed Ace would have never forgiven him for. Since Ace died, not a day went by where Sabo did not agonize over what his final thoughts were.
Afterwards, some time before his arrival in Dressrosa , Sabo visited Ace's grave and left a bottle of sake with three cups on a small crate as a tribute to the day they became brothers, as well as pinning a newspaper article about the Straw Hats' return to the gravestone. Sabo eventually requested permission for him to obtain the Mera Mera no Mi, [10] as he wished to eat it in order to inherit Ace's power. The following events are Non-Canon and therefore not considered part of the Canon story.
Finally arriving at Ace and Whitebeard's gravesite, Sabo pinned a newspaper article about the Straw Hats to Ace's tomb stone and told his late brother that Luffy was well on his way to becoming King of the Pirates.
After recalling his childhood with Ace and Luffy, Sabo tearfully broke down and apologized for not being able to save him. Sabo then drank from one of the three cups of sake he left in front of the grave and told Ace that he would inherit his power. Later on, Sabo arrived in Dressrosa incognito, ordering a plentiful amount of food from the restaurant as Koala who was sitting directly behind him, facing the opposite side informed him on the situation in Dressrosa.
After finishing eating, Koala told him that the only places they have not looked for the underground weapons' trade was the Royal Palace and Corrida Colosseum. Deciding to check the Colosseum first, Sabo disguised himself in a large brown cloak and went to sign up for the tournament. After meeting up with Hack momentarily, Sabo observed the mistreatment of a toy slave being beaten and abused by its overseer, causing Sabo to declare to himself that he would expose the darkness of Dressrosa.
As Sabo observed the fighting, he immediately recognized the fighter "Lucy" as Luffy, as his thoughts drifted to his childhood.
Deciding that he would need to win the Mera Mera no Mi himself - as Hack had lost early into the competition, Sabo finally decided to reveal himself to Luffy, telling his brother that he would not let him eat the Mera Mera no Mi. As an angered Luffy challenged him to a fight, Sabo reminded Luffy that he had another brother besides Ace. As Luffy continuously told Sabo that his "other brother" was dead, he quickly realized that the man standing before him was Sabo - who happily noted how long it had been since they last met.
Luffy later gave Sabo his "Lucy" disguise to allow him to fight for the fruit. As Sabo entered the waiting room, he was confronted by Rebecca - who noticed that he was not the same Lucy as before.
Sabo told Rebecca that even though things would get rough, he would not do wrong by her - and noted the similarities between Dressrosa and his childhood country. After entering the arena to engage in the final round, Sabo clashed with Jesus Burgess using his Dragon Claw. After all the toys in Dressrosa turned back to normal, Sabo took advantage of the chaos to destroy the arena and claim the Mera Mera no Mi while everyone else was struggling in the whirlpool he created. After eating the fruit, Sabo saved a falling Rebecca and told her of his identity.
Declaring to Ace that they would continue to seek freedom together - Sabo activated his fruit's powers and used "Hiken" to blow a hole in the floor of the stadium. Sabo, Koala, and Hack arrived at Dressrosa in order to put a stop to a weapons trade that the Donquixote Family managed. During the Block D fight, he somehow managed to get inside the Corrida Colosseum. Bartolomeo responded with anger, explaining that Sabo had no right to speak to the brother of "Fire-Fist Ace" and the future Pirate King in such a manner.
Sabo responded that he knew these things about Luffy already. After pushing Bartolomeo aside, Sabo revealed himself to Luffy. After questioning Sabo on who he was, and how he came to the conclusion that he was Luffy - given the disguise he was wearing, Sabo informed Luffy that he could never forget his little brother's face. Upon realizing his identity, Luffy began to cry and screamed out in surprise, [11] clinging to Sabo with joy.
Sabo expressed his relief that Luffy was alive and asked for Luffy's permission to eat the Mera Mera no Mi, which Luffy gladly granted. Koala told him that even if he had been at the Summit War of Marineford , he could not have changed anything.
It was then revealed that Sabo had put on Luffy's former gladiator clothing and had taken on the identity of Lucy. Sabo then told Koala to inform him if any more news about the underground is found, and then said that he is going to get Ace's fruit back. Sabo then states that he must inherit Ace's power as he walks towards the arena. He was then seen standing next to Bartolomeo at the observation deck.
After every big-name fighter in Block D was struck down rather quickly, Sabo commented that he heard rumors of a certain individual, referring to Cavendish 's alter-ego, Hakuba. When Rebecca was the only one who stood back up and declared the winner of Block D, Sabo praised her for being able to avoid Hakuba's attack. However, Sabo also stated that he would still not let her win the Mera Mera no Mi. He later met Rebecca after she left the arena.
She waved to him but then noticed that he was not the same Lucy she knew. Sabo briefly spoke to her and then walked by noting to himself how similar Dressrosa was to the country he and Luffy grew up in. When the finals was about to start, Sabo was the first to enter the arena, cheerfully asking Ace to watch over him. Once the other block winners and Diamante were present in the arena, Sabo took a mental note of Burgess.
After Diamante explained the rules of this round, a five-person battle royale commenced. Sabo was later seen easily dodging an attack from a Fighting Fish. When the fighting fish holding the Mera Mera no Mi came close to the arena, Sabo jumped on to it. Diamante attempted to attack him, but Sabo was able to break his weapon.
Burgess attempted to take out both of them with his Surge Elbow but Sabo took him head-on with his Busoshoku Haki infused Dragon Talon and managed to break the armor surrounding his right arm.
He commented that getting the fruit would not be easy. Later, when Rebecca took a blow from Diamante, Sabo asked Bartolomeo to protect her. When all the toys in the audience transformed back into their original forms, Sabo proceeded to demolish the entire arena.
He ripped open the chest and after landing back in the core of the ring and telling the announcer that he had won, took a bite out of the fruit, expressing how disgusting it tasted immediately afterwards.
He then grabbed Rebecca and jumped into the air as his helmet and fake beard fell off. While in midair, he used Hiken and completely destroyed the arena and exposed the underground. After saving Rebecca and getting to safety, Koala returned his clothes to him, as Sabo continued to have a hard time controlling the fruit's power.
After Rebecca noticed that he was not the original Lucy, Sabo confirmed this and told her that the old Lucy was his younger brother, Luffy, and that they were from the Revolutionary Army. He also informed Rebecca that they were there to stop the production of weapons that were promoting wars all over the world, and the place where they were produced was located somewhere else, declaring that it would be a nice souvenir for Dragon if they found it. After Doflamingo announced his hit list, Sabo was surprised to see that he was included in the list alongside Rebecca, Robin, and Usopp.
When the former toys who swore their loyalty to Usopp became their enemies, Sabo, Koala, Hack, Usopp, Robin, Rebecca, Bartolomeo, and the Tontatta dwarves fled from the mob. While Luffy and his allies from the colosseum charged up the New King's Plateau to reach Doflamingo, Sabo was shown preventing Issho and the Marines from going after them.
Issho asked Sabo if that was his duty as a revolutionary. Sabo replied that he was doing his duty as a brother. Sabo then overwhelmed several Marines.
When Bastille charged at him, he effortlessly destroyed Bastille's sword right before dealing the finishing blow to the vice admiral. After crushing Bastille's mask, Sabo revealed his relation to Luffy and Ace before clashing against Fujitora.
As the battle raged on, Sabo asked Issho why he was acting oblivious. Issho admitted his bluff and jokingly asked Sabo to show mercy towards him due to his blindness. Sabo then told the admiral that he does not discriminate against anyone. Issho noted that Sabo was not all talk after all, but asserted that he also had a title and reputation to maintain and used Ferocious Tiger to make gravity go horizontally with enormous pressure, destroying several buildings in the process as the sheer force made Sabo burst into flames as he charged forward, clashing with Issho once more, causing Sabo to ponder just what the admiral was plotting.
Issho then told the young revolutionary that he was willing to bet his life on their fight. Fujitora ultimately decided to end their battle after revealing his views on how it was impossible for even the Marines to become heroes.
When Sabo asked him about what would happen if someone discovered how he feels, Issho called it a gamble and wished Sabo good luck. After resting for awhile after the fight, Sabo received a scolding from Koala, who reprimanded him for not maintaining his position and potentially risking the Revolutionaries being forced into war by fighting with an admiral.
Dismissing his duties because of Luffy being in danger, Koala violently pinched his cheeks and scolded him for his selfishness. Sabo was later seen helping the Dressrosa citizens, saving the last of which from a falling stone wall. Afterwards, he went back to the colosseum and freed the prisoners there. Koala then contacted him, telling him to come to the palace. While reluctant, Sabo quickly changed his tune when she told him Luffy's life would be in danger, and he quickly made his way to the palace.
On the way to the palace, Sabo noticed that the Birdcage is shrinking. When Burgess entered the fray in an attempt to kill Luffy and take his Devil Fruit for himself, Koala quickly alerted Sabo, but Sabo did not reply. When Burgess finally made his move and attacked, Sabo intervened and kicked him away, smiling at a relieved Luffy afterwards.
Sabo then informed Burgess of his relationship to Luffy and Burgess realized that Sabo was the Lucy who fought in the colosseum finals. After Luffy promised to defeat Doflamingo once he recovered, Sabo entrusted Gatz to him. Burgess then decided to take Sabo's Devil Fruit power and the two subsequently clashed.
Sabo later defeated Burgess by the time Luffy defeated Doflamingo. Burgess asked Sabo if he was going to kill him, but Sabo replied that he had no need to. Burgess then taunted Sabo by telling him what Ace said after Blackbeard captured him. In anguish, Sabo then grabbed Burgess on the face. Burgess grabbed his knife and went in for the kill, but Sabo blew him away with Fire Fist.
Sabo was then contacted by Koala, who was waiting for him at the underground trade port. Sabo asked Koala if she found a list before hanging up on her. After things had settled down and Luffy and his friends went to Kyros' house to rest, Sabo went there during the night to see Luffy's face one last time.
He told Robin that he would be leaving Dressrosa because CP0 was coming back for the revolutionaries. After Zoro expressed his surprise at discovering that Luffy had another brother besides Ace, Sabo noted that it was probably most surprising for Luffy, as he had thought he was dead. He then went on to explain his past to Zoro, Franky, and Robin.
Before departing, he gave Zoro a Vivre Card for Luffy and kept a piece for himself. He then entrusted Luffy's safety to the Straw Hats before leaving the house, something Zoro found amusing, since Ace had done the same thing two years prior when they met in Arabasta. Sabo then contacted Hack before heading for the harbor on a flock of birds. The revolutionaries later left Dressrosa and they apparently took all the weapons and evidence relating to the Donquixote Family's smuggling operation before CP0 could recover them.
The two had a brief battle until Gild Tesoro 's defeated body fell between them, and Lucci took his leave. Sabo returned to the Revolutionary ship, and he, Koala, and the liberated Raise Max sailed away.
After returning to the Revolutionaries' base at Baltigo with the weapons and reporting to Dragon, Sabo went outside to train with his new flame powers. Sometime later, a newspaper explained about Blackbeard 's attack on Baltigo. The island was destroyed by the time the Marines and Cipher Pol arrived. The Revolutionary Army escaped the destruction of Baltigo and they moved their base to Momoiro Island. Sabo read the newspaper talking about Luffy's exploits at Totto Land and was proud of him.
One of the revolutionary commanders, Lindbergh , contacted Sabo through a Den Den Mushi and informed him that he and three other commanders would be arriving late for Dragon's meeting. While waiting for all the revolutionary commanders to arrive, Dragon spoke to Sabo and discussed their plan to declare war on the World Nobles during the Levely.
Sabo disguised himself as one of the guards. While riding the bondola with Sterry and the Neptune Family, Sabo assured Sterry when the latter was terrified after seeing a group of crows. While hiding underground with the revolutionary executives, Sabo resolved to save Kuma from his enslavement to the World Nobles. He meets Jeanne , who shares the same protecting feeling towards her own brother as Sabo does for Luffy. They eventually stop the battle in order to stop Lucci from unleashing a poisonous gas over the island.
The final battle actually ends firing up the gas. Sabo gets saved by Isaac [75] just in time for stop Sakazuki from attacking Luffy [74]. When the Sky Prison Santa Maria explodes, he send some unknown comrades to save Isaac, fullyfing his promise to save Jeanne's brother [75].
As the pirate Douglas Bullet rampaged through the island in a massive colossus, Sabo encountered Smoker and the two briefly battled to a draw. They and Boa Hancock were then approached by Trafalgar Law , who told them and Luffy his plan for destroying Bullet's colossus.
