Sabo

Intro Sabo, known as the "Flame Emperor," serves as the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, second in command only to Supreme Commander Monkey D. Dragon. He is also the sworn brother of Monkey D. Luffy and the late Portgas D. Ace. Son of Outlook III and Didit in the Goa Kingdom, Sabo rejected his aristocratic status, running away at the age of 10 with dreams of becoming a pirate. Living as a vagabond in the Gray Terminal, he befriended Ace and Luffy. Sabo’s dream of exploring the world and writing about its wonders was inspired by the stark inequality he witnessed in the Goa Kingdom. The segregated society, fueled his disdain for his own heritage. He was willing to sacrifice his dream to protect his brothers, even enduring a return to his noble household to spare Ace and Luffy from harm. He viewed the nobles as morally rotten, even claiming they smelled worse than the trash heaps of Gray Terminal. His disgust deepened when he learned of their plan to incinerate Gray Terminal and its residents. Sabo attempted to warn his brothers and ultimately denounced his noble heritage. Escaping again, he wrote a farewell letter to his brothers before attempting to sail away, when his ship is attacked. Dragon saved the gravely injured Sabo, who, upon recovering, joined the Revolutionary Army. Under Dragon's guidance, Sabo became a formidable fighter, excelling in Ryusoken, a combat style focused on powerful grips. After regaining his memories, Sabo’s guilt over failing to save Ace motivated him to protect Luffy. To honor Ace’s legacy, Sabo obtained and ate the Mera Mera no Mi, inheriting its fire-based powers. Sabo’s fierce loyalty to the Revolutionary Army and his brothers defines him. Despite his protective streak and recklessness, he is pragmatic and committed to the Revolutionaries' cause. His resolve stems from his refusal to endure further loss, protecting those he loves while fighting against the World Government.
