One Piece: Sabo and Luffy may have a deeper connection than fans realized

The recently released spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1117 hint at a deeper connection between Sabo and Luffy than what fans had anticipated.

As the Egghead Arc of One Piece nears its conclusion, numerous surprising revelations are being unveiled. The most significant of these were unveiled in Vegapunk’s message, in which he discloses the secrets of the Void Century and Joyboy’s past to the entire world.

In Chapter 1117 of One Piece, the global broadcast suddenly stops. However, before it cuts off, the scientist delivers a particular message to those with the ‘D’ initial in their names. He references various members of the D clan, such as Dragon, Blackbeard, and unexpectedly, Sabo.

Despite the fact that their real names are Monkey D. Dragon and Marshall D. Teach, it is not surprising to see Dragon and Blackbeard appear in the panel. However, Sabo’s presence in the group is perplexing as his name does not contain the letter ‘D’.

Despite the subtle hint in Chapter 1117, it is possible that Sabo is a member of the notorious D family. This theory holds weight, especially since his full name has yet to be unveiled in the manga. It is possible that this is a clever tactic by Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece.

One Piece is known for its exceptional use of long-term foreshadowing, and this is especially evident in the revelation that Sabo may be one of the “gods’ enemies” . This newfound information sheds light on previous plot points, such as the natural aversion to authority displayed by those with the initial ‘D’ in their names. As the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, Sabo is now engaged in a battle against the highest authority in the world.

Despite not being biologically related, Luffy and Ace’s relationship with each other should have been the biggest clue. The three are sworn brothers and love each other unconditionally. Interestingly enough, Luffy and Ace both have ‘D’ in their names, making them blood-related despite not being immediate family.

Initially, Sabo stood out as the odd one amongst the group. However, it is now evident that it was Oda’s intention from the beginning. Sabo was always destined to be a member of the D family and his close bond with Luffy and Ace was a crucial clue that readers may have overlooked.

Despite appearing likely, Chapter 1117 does not explicitly confirm anything. The spoilers merely serve as a teaser at this time. Additionally, the latest chapter delivers the long-awaited battle that fans have been anticipating.

One Piece fans can expect a new chapter, 1117, to be released on June 16, 2024.
