Sabo's former connection to the D-People
The Brotherhood with Luffy and Ace
Sabo's connection to the D-line is expressed most deeply through his brotherhood with Luffy and Ace, two key figures of the D-line. Despite not growing up with D's will, Sabo has questioned the fact that Luffy and Ace both have the initials D. D-people are often characterized by their will, their rejection of oppression and their inherent resistance to the world's dominant systems. These qualities are expressed in both Luffy and Ace, who, like Sabo, dreamed of living freely in a world that constantly tried to hold them back.
For Sabo, who was born into a noble family in the Kingdom of Goa, a region characterized by class divisions where the poor are pushed out and the rich live in luxury. Despite Sabo's privileged upbringing, he shuns injustice and oppression, and is uninterested in climbing the social ladder. In this sense, he longed for freedom because he felt trapped in a world where wealth was more important than humanity.
Furthermore, Sabo's fateful encounter with Luffy and Ace is no mere coincidence, as he wants to break the chain of oppressive society in which he grew up. As brothers, the three shared the same longing for freedom, had adventures together as children and further formed a pact to set sail as pirates as they grew older. However, Sabo's dream was brutally interrupted when a celestial dragon shot at him, nearly killing him. The Celestial Dragon's attack symbolized the tyranny that Sabo had detested his entire life and wanted to destroy, and also marked the first major tragedy in Sabo's life. Ace and Luffy thought Sabo was dead and he was saved by Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army. But the trauma caused him to lose his memory and erase the bond he had shared with his brothers.
For Sabo, the brotherhood he formed with Ace and Luffy was more than just a personal relationship, it became a source of strength and motivation throughout his life. Even after he lost his memory and rose through the ranks of the Revolutionary Army, his bond with his brothers remained a central part of his identity. After Ace's death in Marineford and his memory restored, Sabo traveled to Dressrosa to acquire Ace's devil fruit, Mera Mera no Mi. Ace's death weighed heavily on him and Sabo viewed his death as a personal failure. Sabo felt he had been unable to protect one of the most important people in his life, and the loss strengthened his resolve to carry on Ace's legacy by inheriting the Mera Mera no Mi. Although Sabo is not a D himself, his desire to protect Luffy and his connection to Ace and other D-people in the series make him a protector of the D-lineage.
Sabo's role in the Revolutionary Army
The Chief of Staff's shared ideal of freedom
In One Piece is the only thing that is known The D-People is that they are the old enemy of the world government. So far, the world government clearly represents injustice and tyranny. Thus, Sabo's role as Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army represents his greater commitment to the fight against oppression. In the Revolutionary Army, Sabo once again becomes the confidante and deputy of Luffy's father Dragon, who also has the initial D. Therefore, Sabo's constant encounters with the D-people and the confrontation with them cannot be overlooked. Although Sabo's motivations are based on his desire to dismantle the oppressive system, his path inevitably intersects with that of the D-Men, even as a revolutionary. At a Gorosei meeting, one of the five elders questions Sabo's continued commitment to the D-People. In other words, aside from being Luffy's brother, his role as Dragon's chief of staff is no coincidence. Also, the event at Reverie during the Revolutionary Army's operation further solidified the idea that he is destined to aid and fight alongside the D-People who will fight against the World Government.
Sabo's influence in the final arc
Connection with the fate of the D-people
The Pirate King Gol D. Roger's initial is “D,” and his influence and legacy runs through history. Sabo's connection to the D-People, particularly Luffy and Ace, reveals a deeper layer to his character. Therefore, Sabo's role as a revolutionary leader and Luffy's brother suggests that his fate is tied to the larger liberation struggle. Also, the event that occurred during the Reverie in the Room of Authority further cemented the idea that Sabo will continue to be drawn back into the fold of the D-People's legacy. Alabasta King Nefertari D. Cobra was assassinated by Imu and the Five Elders during the Reverie Jaygarcia Saturn, Shepherd Jupeter, Topman Valkyrie, Baron V. Nusjuro, Marcus Mars. During this unfortunate event, Cobra orders Sabo to tell his daughter Vivi and Luffy that they share the nickname D and that they must carry the Flag of Dawn, most likely meaning the overthrow of the corrupt world order. The fact that Sabo is once again the person who passes this information on to the D-People reinforces the idea that his fate is inextricably linked to theirs.
As the series approaches its final arc, Sabo's role becomes increasingly important. The fact that Sabo now carries Ace's will through his devil fruit also solidifies his connection to Luffy's fate. The final arc develops into a convergence of the world's major forces: the Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, the Marines, the Yonko, and the World Government. Sabo stands at the crossroads of these forces, and his ties to the D-Clan ensure that his fate is tied to the final war that will inevitably take place in history. Sabo's relationship with Ace, Luffy, Dragon and his future possible encounter with Vivi strongly underline his growing importance in the series and that he will play a crucial role in the eventual overthrow of the World Government. Sabo's actions will likely help reveal the truth about the D-People, as his fate vividly illustrates the larger struggle for freedom that the D-People represent.
