Chapter 588

Summary
As Sabo sets out for the ocean, his ship cuts in front of Saint Jalmack's ship, who shoots him in response, and claiming it was because he was flying a pirate flag. Dogura witnesses Sabo's murder while the rest of the watchers worry how to deal with the wreckage and how it might have affected the mood of the tenryuubito. Around the same time, Dadan and Ace return, Ace carrying Dadan who suffered severe burns from protecting Ace after they defeated Bluejam. When Dadan asks why Ace didn't run, he discusses his usual reason, but also notes that he had to protect Luffy. This reminds Dadan of Garp's stories of Roger fighting massive armies all to protect his nakama (a reference to Chapter 0's Battle at Edd War) or for insults to them, and notes that despite his complaints, Ace is still like his father. It is at this time that Dogura returns and reveals that Sabo is dead. At first he is met with hostility by Ace, who was unable to believe it, forcing Dadan to tie him to a tree, while Luffy spent the whole night crying. The next day, a letter is received from Sabo, sent the day he died before he set sail, in which he declares he will become a strong pirate, and asks Ace to watch out for Luffy, as they are both the older brothers; this sends Ace into tears once he is alone.
