agree with the scene choice referenced in the comment. I will add I don't read Sabo as liking murder or chaos, but I do think he's hmmm willing to be threatening in a way that neither of his brothers are. For me, the comparison is more in relation to his brothers than the whole cast of One Piece.
Another example that leaps to mind is his fight with Burgess. There's just a kind of vicious intensity to him that I don't see in Luffy or Ace. Admittedly this may be the circumstances behind in that particular fight.
@sableu not sure you would have thoughts on this?
Sabo fans I have a question, out of genuine curiosity...
Where does the popular headcanon of Sabo liking murder, chaos and kinda being insane comes from? I'm not saying he can not be read like that, it's just that from my point of view he doesn't get pleasure of harming Celestial Dragons or anyone in particular, more like it's beneficial to the cause and so he's okay with that.
I really really really would like to understand it, please.
#sabo#wsd replies#my writer#one piece#character analysis#should add i also think he's quite silly and in certain ways ruder than luffy (ace was obviously more polite than either. as an adult)

One Piece Titanic!AU (snippet)
Okay, so I’m not even going to pretend this is this is anywhere near complete, but because I’ve been dying to show people some of what I’ve written so far (and because I know the wonderful and amazing @sableu shares the same love I do for the blond dork of the ASL trio (tbh though I love all three of them so much I legit shed tears when I think about them) I decided I’d post a snippet of a chapter I’m quite proud of. So, without further ado - enjoy!
This scene takes place after Ace and Luffy take Sabo to the third class decks to show him what a ‘real party’ looks like. Sabo sits at a table with three of Ace’s new friends and they talk about goals and dreams...
“So, you’re the Sabo kid we’ve heard so much about, yoi?” asked the guy on Sabo’s immediate left; he was strange looking fellow too, with a head of blond hair that reminded the noble more of a fruit’s leaves than actual hair and half-lidded eyes that were a far contrast to the wide smile he wore across his narrow face. Ace had introduced him as Marco, and he certainly seemed nice enough if not the slightest bit intimidating.
“Yes, that’d be me,” Sabo almost yelled over the music and dancing still going strong. “I take it you’ve heard quite a bit about me, then?”
“Indeed we have. Unless you haven’t already noticed, they’re really fond of you.”
“Yeah, no kidding!” the guy on Sabo’s other side – a tall man with hair that seemed to defy gravity and a slight blush coating his cheeks that suggested intoxication – scooted even closer as he chugged down his own drink. “If I didn’t know any better I’d say you guys were childhood friends or something, or long lost brothers or whatever! I’m Thatch, by the way!” He extended his hand for Sabo to shake, and boy did the guy have a firm grip. “Pineapple head over there is my brother –“
“Oi.”
“And this pretty little thing over here is my brother, Izo!”
“I’ll happily shoot that pompadour right off that block head of yours if you carry on, Thatch,” said Izo – definitely a man, then – and then he smiled over at Sabo like he hadn’t just threatened to shoot somebody. “What they say is true, though. I heard they saved your life last night, and that the three of you spent nearly the entire day together.”
Smiling, Sabo nodded and stared down into his glass and the alcoholic liquid swishing within. “Yeah, that’s right. I owe them a lot, just for that.”
“Have they asked you to go with them yet?”
Sabo blinked. “P-pardon?”
Izo chuckled at the stutter. “I said have they asked you to go with them once the ship docks? They really do like you, you know; we’ve barely known them ourselves for a few days and we can tell right off the bat.”
“You’re something special to them, kid,” said Thatch, throwing an arm around Sabo’s shoulders with a soft, knowing smile. “Even if they haven’t asked you, you should really think it over. And if not them – which, really, would be dumbass of you – you’re more than free to come along with us! You ever heard of the Whitebeards?”
Sabo nearly choked on his drink, and he spluttered as Marco patted his back. “T-The, The Whitebeards?!” he croaked. “I’ve come across a few of your guys back in Southampton; you’re one of the largest bands with members spanning the most of the world!”
The three men grinned brightly. “Ah, so you have heard of us! Good to know!” Thatch squeezed Sabo’s shoulder once more before letting him go. “We offered Ace and Luffy to join, too; Luffy seemed okay with the idea but Ace hasn’t decided yet. We hope he does. He’s a good kid. Hell, all of you are.”
“We don’t mean to pressure you into making decisions, yoi,” Marco appeased just as Sabo was ready to keel over with the amount of offers being thrown out in the open (or maybe he was starting to get tipsy). “You do whatever the hell you wanna do, kid. We just hope that whatever you decide to do in the end that you’ll be happy, and live without any regrets.”
There it was again; living without regrets. Is this sort of thing passed around a lot or…?
Still, Sabo offered the men a smile. “Thank you. I’ll definitely think it over. Though I’m not entirely sure a big family such as yours is what I’m after – no offense!”
Izo chuckled, Thatch laughed, and Marco smiled and shook his head. “None taken, don’t worry. Not everyone wants to be a Whitebeard and that’s fine, yoi. But out of curiosity, what is it that you really want to do? I figured ‘freedom’ was pretty obvious, but…is there anything else?”
Sabo mulled the question over and over in his head, absently swirling his drink in his glass. He looked over at the dance floor, where Ace and Luffy had finished their jig and were bowing to their audience, drenched in sweat and grinning wider than the Titanic itself. He looked around at the other clapping and cheering people…and then he remembered what it was like above deck with the nobles, sipping expensive drinks, flaunting their wealth and status.
The people down here were happy, but it didn’t change the fact that they had almost nothing whilst the nobles had everything. It didn’t change the fact that these people were oppressed day by day simply because they were born in the lesser classes, that they had to work tirelessly whilst the nobles had everything handed to them on a platter.
The world was beautiful, and it held wonders beyond even Sabo’s wildest dreams, wonders he yearned to see for himself. But it was also corrupt, cruel and ugly, and held secrets that many fought to cover up simply to better their image.
Perhaps seeking freedom didn’t just mean escaping the clutches of his parents and gallivanting into the sunset. Perhaps…he could use his freedom to help others achieve it, too. He could expose those who stepped on others for their own personal gain, do some good, and shove his own heritage where it belonged.
That would work. That would be my freedom…
Sabo smiled. “I may have some ideas,” he replied, but said nothing more as he took another sip of his drink. Thatch whined about ‘kids keepin’ secrets, that’s no fun!’ whilst Izo and Marco exchanged their own secretive smiles. Maybe they had an inkling of what the blond was thinking…

Happy Holidays @sableu!! I’m your secret santa for @opsecretsanta2019!!
I’m sorry to get your gift to you so late, this was something of a challenge but it was super fun to do and I’m really proud of the way this turned out! Truth is, I was pretty excited to get you as my giftee for this event, as another fellow Sabo lover! I’ve been following you for a while over on my main blog and I’ve really come to love all of your content so it was honestly really hard to stick with one idea when I had countless I wanted to do. In the end, I really loved the idea of Marco and Sabo meeting sometime after Dressrosa and just, reminiscing about Ace and bonding over stories they share with each other.
I hope this is kind of what you had in mind and I hope your holidays and are being fantastic to you!
Bonus: Also, enjoy a doodley draft of Dragon dealing with a recklessly injured Sabo post mission and Sabo being appropriately mortified! Koala absolutely never lets him live it down.
#opsecretsanta2019#One Piece#Sabo#Marco the Phoenix#Revolutionary Dragon#sableu#I really love your blog#it's got a beautiful amount of Sabo#and kakaobi#and just everything in general#I seriously had too many ideas#at first I wanted to do something with ASL#and then I wanted to do something with Sabo and Dragon#and then I wanted to do a piece with Sabo and Karasu#or training with Kuma#and i considered the pairings you listed to because they're so cute but I couldn't do them justice#and now i have a bunch of drafts#oops#omg just ignore my drabble#I really hope you like this!#my art

1. Always post the rules. 2. Answer the questions given by the person who tagged you. 3. Write 11 questions on your own. 4. Tag 11 people.
Right, here we go, I got tagged by @tsume-yuki .
The Questions:
1. All time favourite song?
Oh that question is going to be the Death of me. I switch every single day, though I have songs that I can listen to over and over again, for a short period of time, and then I switch again. So no true all time favorite song I´m afraid. The list would include way to many to even try to type them all.
2. Biggest difference in your personality from ten years ago and how you are right now?
Oh hahaha, I type and send what I like now a lot more then I ever did then, I can assure you of that. I am also more in tune with a lot of things I straight up does not like, and can therefore avoid it - though I was a lot more rose tinted view 10 years ago, and that trust and optimism is both a relief and a sadness to have lost it. More World weary, and less trusting, essentially. Though it is weighted up in knowing more about myself instead.
3. What was your favourite toy growing up?
I always insited on 3 different types of rabbits to be with me at all times when travelling somewhere when I was small, that AND my personal pillow. Because that was my ultimate Comfort thing when going away to other places, because they were mine, and no one else could claim them from me.
4. What would you want your last meal ever to be?
..... A huge buffé with food from all over the World, so if it is the last meal, then it might as well be the food that kills me ^^.
5. What’s your favourite ice cream flavor?
Strawberry, though I am really fond of a flavor I don´t think is made anymore that was Mocha flavor, and it was the best I´ve ever had, and then it disappeared, so now it is Strawberry, though I tend to pick vanilla when buying - because it goes with everything, and when it comes to Strawberry I want as much strawberries in it as possible, which it often isn´t much of in it.
6. Cutest nickname you’ve ever been called?
Chikadee, no question about it. Because it honestly sound so cute, and bubbly and full of energy, “you can do it!” that it brightens the day everytime it comes up.
7. If you could pick a new first name, what would it be?
I honestly have no idea in terms of actual names though I would prefer something that means something. Whether it is something that has a personal deep meaning, or something that is a code of life, inspiration - something to uphold, well it would depend on how it fits.
8. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
I am lucky if my nose sticks out at night so I can breath, I tuck myself in as much as possible. That and the fact that I hate when it is cold makes for a very miserable winter, because if I am cold I can not sleep at all. So to sleep I need to have a pair of socks on, and usually I just say that I hibernate at Winter, because you can almost never see me then unless neccesary. Drag me out of bed, quite literally sometimes, though I´ve become so much better at being like a normal human being at Winter during these last few years.
9. What personal trait has gotten you in the most trouble?
Just one? Oh. That one is hard. Hm, if by meaning of trouble, you mean fights or similar things the closest thing would be that I tend to bottle up my anger until it explodes, and the triggers was not always the same, so I never really knew what would finally cause the outbreak.
It does not help that when it finally ocurr, it got messy really fast.
Like “I have to get out of here or I will do something regrettable” while fuming like a tea kettle boiling over, with steam coming out of the ears kind of thing - and the ugly crying, the stamping of the feet in pure FRUSTRATION because HOW are you suppose to convey what piss you off so much when it HURTS so much, the throat pretty much clogged with anger, hurt, fury, dissapointment, all the whistles. And all the while trying to talk/scream over someone else to get your point across - I hate confrontations because of this shit.
Why must I rip my heart out to get the point across that some thing just plain is not acceptable and it hurts damn it??
< - - - - - That was my turbulent relationship for a number of years with one of my siblings. Joy. (Until we both lived in separate parts of the country, with our own spaces, and that it took that much to make us both settle and be okay with being around each other for more then 5 min at a time? I hated it.
Think of two territorial beings that has to coexist in a much to small space, where you walk around on tip-toes just to go for the throat when a line was crossed. Bam. A huge screaming fight. With stamping of feets and slammed doors.
At least we never really got to the point of physical fights. We so did not need to add that. Though our relationship is pretty much ok now, after so long of begrudgingly accepting that compromises is a way of life.
And just the fact that we´ve lived on our own at out own places, really made a huge difference. We are very much big on “mine, my things, my pets, my space, keep out unless invited” so you might imagine how that went when we had to share a room for most of our childhood, and then came the puberty and the hormones and own spaces, and what do we do with all this space? and whoa. What a mess. Though we are fine now ^^.
10. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Would it sound terribly weird if I wanted to dive into other peoples mindscapes and see how they build their stories and worldbuildings and throw ideas back and forth and just watch it snowball from there? Because that was the first thing that came to mind. So real places apparently takes second place in this ^^.
Think the mindreaders of the Naruto series, where they see things inside other peoples minds and can walk around and interact with it, with a sprinkle of Legilimency, though it would show itself in a different way. Like “you are in a room and have a screen that allows you to choose what to show (in a life like manner, like you were there” kind of different. Everything from ideas to thoughts, and build up from it.
So it would not affect the persons in a negitive way, but more like “hey I have this wacky idea, what do you think of this?” and throw out so many different things that it could make anyone dizzy.
11. What’s the story behind your username?
- Oh finally, a question that is easy to answer ^^.
A long time ago, when I was around 10-11, or even 12 years old, I had a free sample of a game called Traveller. (If my memory is correct, it could be wrong on the name of the game itself though) And that name really made me sit up and take notice, because here was a game that was EXACTLY what is sounded like, which struck a cord with me, because it essentially urged you to EXPLORE and TRAVEL and it was everything I wanted to do around then.
It did not matter if I travelled to a real place or an imaginary one, because the freedom of just up and leave everything behind at that point in my life? It was higly desirable.
And when it comes to travels, oh boy, I still hate packing for that. I am so bad at it, that there is no words for it, though it has seen some improvement by sheer trial and error through the years.
After the whole finding that game, testing it and later discarding it, AFTER I finally made my own username with inspiration from it, of course, I later down the line found my then ultimate treasure hoard of astrology books and just up and dived into them (and the fact that I still mix things up in that area is another matter entirely). Those huge thick books which I admantadly HAD to have with me practically everytime I was going away, which meant an entire bag full of books, every single time I was going to travel away. The packing was not fun, I can tell you that. I earned the nickname “the bag Lady” from my mother from this habit that continued for several years.
So long story short, the username comes from the inspiration of a game called Traveller, and to date it is the only game I truly remember from that period of time.
(... And I am unable to type short answers that does not spin off into their own universe too. Not exactly news, though it was some time ago that I had so much of it all at once staring right back at me like this ^^.)
So the new 11 Questions :
1. What would your ideal day be like?
2. You have to choose an animal for a pet, which one would you choose and why?
3. You have 5 min to think of which World you would choose to be inserted into, SI style, and say why you choose that particular World. Twist : You can choose where you end up, but you would have to stick around the first person that find you, for a year, after being found by the aforementioned person.
4. If you could choose one ability from any and all manga/anime, what would be your choice?
5. You have to select a theme Music for yourself, what would be your choice? (It could be a song, a specific genre and/or specific singer - or why not pick and choose from it all and make it truly personal? So a song, with a different singer and in another genre style which the song is performed).
6. Out of all protagonist just floating around in the manga/anime worlds, which one would you choose if you had to have one of them for a family in this World?
7. You have to pick a new profession, effective immediatly. What is your choice?
8. You loose one of your senses. Which one would it be?
9. You are offered a free move to another country, all expenses paid for. Where would you end up and why?
10. For a new Project, which one would you like to collaborate with? It could be about anything that falls into your interests.
11. Which language would you choose to learn if you had to learn a new one and the reason why?

and luffy would ignore their wishes and come save them anyway
both of luffy’s big brothers seem to have the same mentality of “i would rather die than be caught and potentially risk the lives of my people through them coming to save me” and it’s giving me emotions
+ tbh i can imagine that what happened at marineford would only make sabo double down on this. whitebeard died as a result of ace’s capture. sabo is not going to let that happen to dragon, whose survival i’m sure he and the other revolutionaries believe is integral to taking down the celestial dragons and creating a new world.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all over ‘doting older brother’ Sabo who loves his baby brother so much despite being separated for over a decade, I love dorky Sabo who tries to be the cool older brother and instead becomes a brilliant human disaster, I love ‘sassy’ Sabo who insults your ancestry with a crud eating grin. I will eat that stuff up.
But I also love leader Sabo, No.2 of the Revolutionary Army, a guy who’s quick on his feet and takes risks in the name of freedom. I love reckless Sabo who will drop anything and everything to save a friend or his brother even if it means his position. I love twisted Sabo, a guy who smiles are like ice, who’s seen so much of the worst of what the world has to offer and is haunted by it yet refuses to let it consume him, who had been bitten by the cruel ways of the world and bites right back. I love brutal Sabo, who gets the information he needs with a cruel chilling grin and threats he’s not reluctant to carry out in full.
It’s a shame that this Sabo isn’t often shown in most fics I read (but when they are they’re absolutely amazing and I wish I could credit every single one of those writers). I mean it’s great to let Sabo be happy and sweet and doting and goofy, because he is, but we have to admit that the poor guy is just a tad crazy.
Oh don’t let me stop any of you from writing Sabo the way they want! I’m just adding my two cents at the blond dork we all know and love.
TL;DR: Sabo is a big floof but he’s also a dangerous criminal that will crush your face and grin while doing it.
(tagging @sableu because I thought you might like this? :) )

something i’ve always been curious about: in the official english translation, both when fujitora’s talking to other marines and to enemies, he’s written as having…some sort of accent? it almost reads as american southern, with him using “ain’t”, “fella”, and the occasional double negative, saying things like “that’s mighty kind of you" and dropping the ‘g’ at the end of -ing verbs. (above are just a few examples from within the chapters that you’ve read, there are many more throughout his appearances in dressrosa)
is there something different about the way fujitora speaks in japanese that would have inspired this choice?? does he read as having some kind of dialect? or is it just random artistic license on the part of the translator lol? - @sableu
He does speak with a dialect! First of all, I don’t actually know all that much about the various regional dialects of Japan, so take everything I say here with a grain of salt, but! I think it’s Kansai-ben. Specifically, Kyoto dialect, which tends to come across more soft, and is actually rooted in courtly speech from when Kyoto was the capital of Japan. It mostly shows up in his use of やす/yasu to end sentences and verb conjugations, which is, kind of more generally respectful.
The reason he gets an American Southern accent, then, is because Kansai-ben is stereotyped as basically the ‘folksy’ accent in Japan, and is usually represented in foreign translations by replacing it with an accent with a similar regional stereotype. So in America, that’s Southern/Texan, in England it’s usually Cockney, in Spanish it’s Mexico City Spanish.
So that’s why he has the accent- personally I don’t think it matches perfectly with his speech in Japanese, which is very dialectal and yet is also polite and old-fashioned, and is a more specifically soft and formal subtype of that dialect. But I also can’t really think of any better way to represent it in English, because we just don’t have a solid equivalent to this kind of speech.
