Special Episode "Luff"

Special Episode "Luff" is a three chapter "what if" storyline showing what would happen if Sabo had rescued Luffy and Ace at Marineford. It ran in the official One Piece magazine.

Summary
Rushing to his brothers' aid during the Battle of Marineford, Sabo manages to rescue Portgas D. Ace and Monkey D. Luffy from Admiral Akainu at the last moment before Ace's death.

Following the war, and Whitebeard's death, the brothers catch up on an unnamed island and renew their brotherly vow.

Luffy and Sabo wake up from their dream. Luffy wakes up and is greeted by his crew. Luffy asks Zoro and Sanji to hit him to make sure he is awake. Meanwhile, Sabo awoke on the Revolutionary Army's main ship while they are stuck at sea due to the lack of wind currents. Koala then teases Sabo about his dream, causing him to engulf himself in flames with rage, only to be scolded by Koala for his recklessness on the ship as he is calmed by the vision of Ace's heritage. Afterwards, both crews continue their journey.
