The flashback wasnt luffy centered as much as ace centered. I understand that sabo is the death from the past the way that tom, bellemere, kuina, hililuk, etc. are for those characters, but there really isnt any question when it comes to their deaths. there is no scene with a mysterious call for medical help with a specified time. even if sabo isnt dead he can still represent the death from the past for both ace and luffy, although ace seems to be more devistating for luffy.
