idiot come on man the war took like 4 months to write even if oda had a slight conception of the plot twist in luffy having a brother he would not have developed him enough (let alone introduced him to the readers) by that point. what was he gonna do have luffy get to ace's execution and have sabo drop in from the sky. No dropping from the sky is luffy's move lol.

@ any1 who thinks sabo is dead but seriously Sabo is definately alive Oda would not have brought him up otherwise. Ace cared for Luffy because their brother. did you question that before you knew about Sabo... nope you didnt. Dragon saved sabo just like he saved luffy in loguetown. the difference is sabo was seriously wounded so dragons doctors cared for him. i bet when sabo regained conciousness dragon told him he was luffys father and sabo knew hed meet luffy again by staying with dragon.

we will see sabo again when the strawhats encounter the revolutionary army. it will be a big emotional reunion between father son and brothers.
