EVERY DAY!!! I THINK ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY!!! AND NOW I WILL THINK OF IT MORE BECAUSE U SAID IT SO WELL AND POINTED OUT N E W THINGS AND
Agghhgggug
Sabo analysis time!!!!
Do you guys ever think about how Sabo didn't visit Dressrosa to see Luffy again? And him meeting up with Luffy was probably his very last option to secure the fruit, otherwise he would probably avoid it? Cuz i do…
Let me elaborate.
So here's what we know from the source material:
We know Sabo and the other revolutionaries were there since the early morning since Hack was already inside the coliseum for RevArmy snooping reasons.
The prize of the Tournament was revealed after the Revs were already there.
Sabo/Koala were not in contact with Robin to know if the straw hats were anywhere near Dressrosa as seen by Koala saying "I hear Robin-san’s here in this country, too."
Sabo confronted Luffy about getting the Mera-Mera No Mi only after Hack lost during Block B and Luffy got out of his own block.
I had always assumed that Sabo showed up to Dressrosa for the Mera-Mera No Mi and meeting Luffy, but that really isn't the case. Idk why it took me so long to figure that out, it’s literally shown in the Episode of Sabo (EOS) explicitly. Although, the EOS isn't exactly source material. I cant find anywhere stating whether its canon or not, but I cant find anything that would have it conflict with the original plot so i see no reason why it wouldn’t be. All that evidence from before is canon though so even without the EOS, this claim still holds water.
Speaking more of the evidence we have from of the episode of Sabo, we see him snooping around the Colosseum during the tournament, we see the moment he realizes that Luffy is participating in the event, and we see the moment he realizes that Luffy cant participate any further.

Like look at him here. He looks absolutely unprepared for what he knows he has to do. And after this in the scene right before he starts talking with Luffy, he’s like literally walking to him as slowly as he possibly can. Taking pauses in his stride to probably think about how much of a bad idea this is.
Plus, at the beginning of the episode when he’s visiting Ace’s grave, he says “I guess both you and Luffy are both mad at me.”
Tumblr media
Sabo has had so many opportunities to meet up with Luffy before he actually does, both in Dressrosa and since he regains his memory. But he doesnt. Because he cant. Because he’s terrified of being met with scorn, anger, or even violence from his beloved little brother.
Finally, we see him plucking up the courage to walk over to luffy. All surroundings are silent besides the loud footsteps coming from his approach echoing in the hallway.
Step. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step.
Then he stops.
Its dead quiet.
Sabo has been pretty much deadpan this entire time, but he then smiles before he says
“I wont let you have the Mera Mera No Mi, ‘Straw hat’ Luffy.”
This is a fairly serious thing that he’s saying to this man in a fake beard and outrageous helmet, and he’s terrified of this meeting with his brother, but he cant help but smile when he’s talking with him.
The conversation that continues is very confrontational, but suddenly something clicks in Luffy’s mind. His body relaxes from it’s tense posture, he starts to tear up, his speech slows,
Then he starts to scream with recognition.
That’s his big brother.
He’s alive…
He’s Alive!!!
He’s here! Right here! Right where he should be!
Alive. Living. Free!
Luffy GRABS Sabo’s face and propels himself towards him. Suffocating and probably giving his brother whiplash in that second within that assault-hug.
All of a sudden, Sabo’s fears of scorn, anger and violence all wash away.
Luffy loves him.
They have each other now.
And now, Sabo is on his way to get that god damn fruit.
Sabo absolutely didn’t think he was ready for this re-connection, but he’s so glad he went through with it.
He has his brother back, his other brother’s powers, and the bragging rights of being able to flaunt both.
This is what I'm sayin with the "seems like fire favors these brothers" post I made. The fact that both the mera mera no mi and Luffy and Sabo were all in the same place to come together at once is a crazy coincidence. How many coincidences does it take, for a happenstance to be Fate? Probably that amount.
In conclusion:
Get this man a therapist. Please.
Heres another sabo analysis if you wanna hear more
Thank you for reading my ramblings about a fictional man. I think about him a completely average amount.
#whery your Sabo thoughts are my favorite as per usual#survivors guilt goes crazy with this mf#always scared to lose but surviving nonetheless#GAH! HE THINKS LUFFY WILL BE M A D AT HIM! HE MAKES ME INSANE IM GONNA CRY#He doesn’t even wake him up when he goes to see him again :( he wants so see his lil bro so bad but it’s also the last thing he wants to do#it TERRIFIES HIM BRO. Man runs through a battlefield like it’s nothing but can’t hug his little brother back#but at the same time I think all it would take for him to come running is one call from Robin telling him Luffy missed him#and even then it would still be the hardest thing. But we all know he’d do it in a heartbeat rather than risk hurting Luffy more. ughhhggjah#he cares about people so much it hurts#in fact he’s dedicated his whole life to helping people. And yet he can’t save them all and has lost some of his most important people#and he FORGOT that he had lost some of them until it was too late and and and#ahugggg#I think about him a normal amount as well…I’m so normal about him#love a mf with a guilt complex and a good heart who also is a bit fucked in the head#he deserves to do a lil murder tho. as a treat. it’s a privilege you get when you get hit with a canonball when ur ten actually#one piece#sabo#monkey d. luffy#asl brothers#sabo the revolutionary#long post#yapping in the tags#flame emperor sabo#one piece spoilers#egghead#dressrosa arc spoilers#dressrosa spoilers#dressrosa arc#marineford spoilers#me yapping
