That "Pell" argument doesn't work anymore since Ace's and Whitebeard's deaths, does it? Dogura has both whitnessed and reported Sabo dying, additionally this is a scene from a flashback... and even Ace cried for his dead friend.

And why should Oda make Ace die in this flashback? How could that be a reason for Sabo being alive at all?! o_O
