I don't care if he is alive but the comment by Dragon, not because it was Dragon, gives the illusion and thus people hoping. It is understandable that it could take away from Luffy's mission but even before he died all 3 boys were so dedicated to achieve being the greatest pirate. Depending on how they would meet could determine if it pushes Luffy farther or not. Say Sabo had a disguise due to a disfigurement or something and the crews had an epic fight but Luffy lost to Sabo and then finally is shown it is him, would that not push Luffy to work harder knowing he hasn't yet surpassed his big brothers? Currently we will never know at what point Luffy is stronger than Ace and with the rivalry the 3 had as kids it could add to Luffy's determination if he finds he still hasn't become number 1.
