Actually, characters are added just to be killed all the time. Bellemere, Hililuk, Clover, Saul, Olvia, the crew from the Orbit, Kuina, Banchina, Tom, and Yorki and the rest of the Rumbar Pirates. All the straw hats have had someone die in their past. Yeah, I said Sabo's dead. Sabo would fit the theme of someone dying in the past. If he's alive, then bring back Bellemere (shot through the head), Kuina and Banchina (both confirmed dead by a doctor), Tom (harpoon through the heart), Hililuk (blew himself up, would have died anyway), and everyone else.
