if he is still alive he could be dead which is totally possible
So it's possible for him to be alive, but he could be dead at the same time?
What, does he have the Shrodinger Shrodinger Fruit or something?

Man… I was already interested in the flashback before but now with the Tenryuubito (just like many others) I'm pumped up. I can't wait to see what happens next!

You just won the universe; this and all the other ones that are created everytime we make a choice.
Quantum Physics for the win!
They are really gonna make us miss ace aren't they
Sweet chapter.
And besides, that guy is part of the Bluejam gang…and they give offerings to the elite.
It's seems those who said the Bluejam Pirates probably work for the Celestial Dragons are correct.
I wonder if this means that Bluejam himself wasn't able to defeat Ace and Luffy, so a Celestial Dragon has to intervene?
Sabo for Nakama?
If he got kidnapped and has been a slave this whole time and is on the SA that'd be something.
But in all seriousness, I think that he'll die.
I think we get two more chapters of flashback and then we'll return to the present.
I kind of think he will die as well.
The last panel of the chapter makes it seem like the situation is extremely serious so somebody's head is probably going to have to roll, if a Celestial Dragon is showing up.
What is so interesting is to see just exactly what type of business Bluejam does with a Celestial Dragon.
Sabo gonna die methinks. I'm interested in what's going to happen when the Celestial Dragons get there. Maybe we'll get to see Roswald as a young man, well, it's only 10 years, maybe not. I love seeing more of Luffy's past.
There was quite a bit more swearing in the Mangastream translation than I think was necessary, though.
And, mickgreen58, that damn avatar keeps making me think you're Battle Franky.
roar! cant wait to next episode !
I guess I just find stuff like the hippo mafia or Buggy and Shanks partying like old times more entertaining than say, a little robot having a flashback of how his creator died choking on a dumpling. Again, to each his own.
speaking of that very thing I found something interesting whilst reading my viz volume the other day
the little robot was created on Machinery lsland
now if my very poor Japanese is correct Franky is on "Karakuri Island" and Karakuri can be translated into Machinery (actually mechanized puppet)
so the little robots come from the Island Franky is on now maybe…
now this might be old hat to some people but I found it interesting if true

…Old dude was related to Vegapunk. Calling it now.
I dont know if I am right but what I sense from this chapter is that both "DoFlamingo" and "BlueJam" are of the same level and of the same post working directly under the orders of World Govt-Tenrobittyu".
Cant wait for the name of this post to be revealed!!!
okay i feel dumb not understanding what's going on but what's happening at the end with the tenryuubito, why are they coming there, I'm tired and I've got a head ache and just got through doing some math homework so i'm not in the best mental state right now
EDIT: lol it seems i'm able to understand bleach just fine…. i wonder why haha

Captain Pearl Jam gives the Nobles money so they can rape, pillage, and beat up small children without legal issues.

ahh thanks, sorry about that, you don't have to worry about me asking what happened in bleach though
thanks again
Sabo is awesome! Hope he survives and appears again in the present!
I don't think he will die… but I fear he may get a fate worse than death...
Good chapter. I'm really curious to see how the Tenryuubito fits into this whole flashback. :)
If Sabo had died, then Luffy would have at least mentioned him up until now. So I think Sabo lives.
Nuff said.
Damn, Ace was badass ten years ago.
That Mera Mera must've made him into a pussy…

Not being much of a badass makes him being so popular impressive.
I guess badassery isn't as vital to popularity as being shirtless is.
Ace is hot, no joke.

It's just a front for his endless moping…
Seriously, Ace and Luffy's relationship here is one of the most cliche'd things I've ever seen in OP... At least we're past that and interesting things are happening.
What do I take from this?
-I just witnessed a pirate try to crush a child with a massive sledge hammer. Epic.
-Sabo is actually considerate and smart. I'm liking him already.
-Sabo is SO going to be sold to the slave market next chapter.
-Ace is a dick and needs to be punched in the chest (seriously, Luffy kept his mouth shut after dozens of punches from a spiked glove, he can cry if he wants to).
-Ace's "I never run from a fight" needs to be parodied.
"I never run from a fight!"
FIST OF LAVA
"Shit…"
Is it me or Ace and Sabo are clear references to the "cats" of Tekkon Kinkreet? Same age, same weapons, same behavior, same colors even!
That coverpage…it's so cool I don't think I can take it. Croc, Mr. 1 and Hippos with cigars...Goddammit, it's mafia Hippos in suits! Sweet stuff.
The chapter was especially heartwrenching because of little Luffy having it tough. His facefaults at the end were quite cute.
The chapter had couple of pretty dynamic panels in there too.
I'm still not bought on Ace and Luffy building a brotherly bond because of this though, but the flashback isn't over yet, is it?
Now the tenryuubito twist at the end is something that I absolutely didn't see coming. Curious what Oda has in store for us. Timeline-wise Fisher Tiger's attack on Mariejoa doesn't date back too long. Maybe we get an insight on the aftermath, which could be tied back to the current timeline.
But what interests me the most is to see how far the political power of the nobles actually goes. I thought they had some privileges on shabody, but it looks like they reach out to other places aswell.

Now that you mention it, I see it too. There are a couple of similarities characterwise.

Oh man! Glad someone brought that up, while it probably isn't intentional, I totally got that vibe when I was first reading the chapter. I might have to rewatch that movie.
I really hope Oda states in an SBS that Crocodile is reading Calvin and Hobbes.
I'm normally not into the covers, but Crocodile looks pimpin' there.
Like Insider, I'm really becoming attached to Sabo. At first he struck me as a brat, but having a clear head on his shoulders really won me over.
I shivered internally when I read the bit about the Tenryuubito.
Sabo+Tenryuubito=…'interesting' chapters ahead for me.
I'm both excited and have a sinking feeling in my stomach here.
Lol I thought it was hilarious how Porchey said "If i lose to a kid i'll give up piracy and proceeded to be defeated in the next panel." I agree with Blue, "Are you fucking serious?" Lol nigga was shit.
@Yonkou#3:

And then he got shot and killed by his captain so it was indeed the end of his pirate career.
Is Dawn Island mentioned to be a special island in the databooks? Because if not the Tenryuubito are probably there to find slaves and/or go on vacation.
As for Sabo, I think he'll die or Ace and Luffy think he's dead. If he was knowingly taken by the Tenryuubito, finding him would be a big goal when Ace and Luffy became pirates.
Sabo
Tenryuubito
10 years ago
This can only mean one thing…
Sabo for nakama!!
nice flashback. better than last week's stuff happening chapter. It's good to see Ace and Sabo are more than just little punks.
Now to answer Woodslap's question in regards to Luffy's 300 mil bounty "does Dadan know?" Probably not if she rarely touches a newspaper lol
Sabo is fast and nimble! If he survives and grows up he'd probably be a speedster. The title of 'world's fastest' is still vacant after all.
I love the panels of Luffy, Sabo and Ace running and fighting animals together.. the whole flashback has this whimsical, "childhood innocence" feel to it - 3 outcasts who are brought together… and yet theres a dark/tragic undertone that runs throughout the whole thing. I think seeing everything being brought together and culminating will prove to be just as satisfying and emotional as Robin's flashback.

I wouldn't be too sure. Borsalino, anyone?
No, the fastest guy in One Piece is Lucky Roo, didn't you get the memo?
luffy's mom is tenryuubito calling it first
Awwww so cute as kids.
And so surprised to see Luffy's serious side when he was so young.
And the pace is picking up. Celestial Dragons wtf? Totally not expecting it.
I'm really interested in seeing how this turns out. Something definitely happens to Sabo.
I guess were going to have no TB cover story then….Moria's chances of being alive just plummeted
maybe Sabo is long-lost son of a Tenryubito, and his mom/dad is finally taking him back to Mariejoea. and he will grow up annoyed/embarrased by the fact that he is one of this "higher classes". and he will want to change the situation once and for all, of course trying to figure how to gain/access to higher power during the process.
Ya' know, just like we have good marines and bad marines, or good kings and bad kings, or good pirates and bad pirates. It's time to have some good Tenryubito too.
IMO Sabo can have either 2 things happen to him, either he died, or he betrayed Ace and Luffy somehow, because if he was alive Ace would've gone after him and there would be mention of Luffy having another brother by now, also Luffy would've known more about the Tenryubito if a dear friend got kidnapped by them, I don't think Luffy will have much contact w/ the Tenryubito anyways, because if he does it wouldn't be something that he could just forget…most likely that is, cuz ya know it is Luffy.... maybe if he never learns of who they are they might come into contact... but back onto Sabo, his talk of Ace never running being a problem has me think that he may run off w/ all the money leaving Ace in a bad position, which may be caused by Luffy entirely, which also may or may not involve the Tenryubito... still gotta hand it to Oda, didn't think they would show up

If you're implying we're in a cover story, no, we're not. It's like the Strawhats with random animals title pages, only this time with non-Strawhat characters. Personally, I like this. With the numerou OP characters Oda has developed, he can keep this up for as long as he wants until a cover story is actually needed.
C'mon Johnny and Yosaku or Dorry and Brogy title page!
Sabo will be captured by the Tenryuubuto and be brought to Mary Joa. Ace's sole target in live was to get to Mary Joa and free sabo, however he failed all the time misreably.
He wanted to meet whitebeard because he wanted to see the strength neccessary to 'change the world'.
With ace dead, Luffy will have to go after Sabo, attacking mary joa itself.
Damnit, it's the tenryuubito again!!

seriously, i'm hoping for that too! __ come on gin!!!
So someone just told me "Sabo" means Oliver in Japan.
I wouldn't be surprised since this flashback has alot of similarities to Oliver Twist

Yeah! My initial reaction to the character was that of the English period that Oliver Twist was set in. I guess I was right
