Summary:
As night falls on Dressros and the pirates die, Law and Bellamy go with Kyros to his house to recuperate.
Sabo arrives at Kyros’ house and Robin goes to wake Luffy, but Sabo says he just wants to see Luffy’s face. Sabo reveals that CP0 is heading back to Dressrosa and that Dressrosa will be chaotic again in a few days, so the Straw Hats should leave soon as well. Franky and Zoro were surprised by the fact that Luffy had another brother besides Ace. As Luffy, Usopp, Kyros, Bellamy, and Law recover from their injuries as they sleep, Sabo explains how the three became brothers.
He recalls the time he first met Drake and how he felt trapped by the nobility system in the Kingdom of Goa. He then remembers his ship being shot down as he was flailing in the water, silently screaming for help, when suddenly the Dragon grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the water. Dragon then arrived at the Revolutionary Army ship, where he handed over the badly injured Sabo to a doctor.
Eventually, Sabo regained consciousness, but the Revolutionaries realized that he had no memories at all, not even of his own name. However, when Dragon revealed his bloodline and a Revolutionary member suggested his return to his family in the Kingdom of Goa, Sabo immediately backed down and tried to dissuade them. In the present, Sabo remembers that despite losing all his memories, he must have still had an instinct to stay away from his parents. Sabo then reveals that Ace later ‘revealed’ everything to him.
Two years earlier, a revolutionary rushed in to reveal that Whitebeard’s war was over, and while Emporio Ivankov was not listed among the fatalities, Ace and Whitebeard were killed. Many revolutionaries soon ask Dragon if Luffy is his son, which Dragon casually confirms as they are shocked. When Sabo saw Ace’s picture in the newspaper, he regained his memories and began to break down. Sabo then began to roar to the surprise of everyone in the room as he realized that Ace was his brother. This caused Sabo to fall into a fever-induced coma for three days. After he woke up, Koala asked if he had regained his memories and if he was going to leave the Revolutionary Army, but Sabo denied it and asked to see Dragon. He later asked Dragon if he could search for Mera Mera no Mi. Two years later, Sabo entered the Corrida Colosseum and confronted Luffy, who did not recognize him and did not know why he wanted Ace’s Devil Fruit. However, Sabo called him his little brother, making Luffy recognize him. Luffy jumped back in shock and hugged Sabo while crying as Sabo expressed his relief that Luffy was still alive as well. Luffy yelled that he failed to save Ace and watched him die in front of him, but Sabo said he was thankful that Luffy didn’t die in Marineford as well. Sabo asked if it would be okay for him to eat the Mera Mera no Mi, which Luffy happily confirmed.
In the present, Sabo prepares to leave and after attending himself, he hands Zoro the Vivre card he created from Luffy. Sabo then says goodbye to Zoro, Robin, and Franky, saying that he is leaving Luffy in their hands. Zoro chuckles, remembering how Ace said almost the exact same thing in Arabasta. Hack then contacts Sab, who reveals that he just left the house and will be in port soon before he hangs up. The sudden hang-up causes Hack to become angry and nearly punch the operator. Sabo then rides off on a flock of birds towards the harbor.
