Somethings really bothering me….and I'm hoping the good members of Arlong Park can set me at ease.
Is the implication here, by carrying his will, that Sabo will obtain and consume the Mera Mera No Mi? If so, is anyone else EXTREMELY disappointed by this? When Sabo was introduced, I was a little disappointed because it just seemed to be another way for Oda to avoid death. Giving Luffy another brother after his brother dies? It's a cop out. As I read the arc though, I started to like Sabo as his own character and wanted him to return. Everything about his return was right in this chapter for me except for that tease that he will get the fire fruit.
Is Sabo just Ace 2.0?
If you think of their relationship and everything Oda has stated about their 'brotherhood', they've always been like that. All those times Sabo fought against Luffy and beat him he mocked at him. For me, it is more like something in their way of being than in each one's objectives. Anyway, Luffy was about to leave the Colosseum under the statement of "My nakama's lives are more important than the fruit", so he wouldn't have got it anyway. Maybe Sabo already ate a fruit. We don't know yet.
