Sabo gets his boat too close to the Government Ship and get an RPG in the face by a World Noble named Jalmac. His ship is destroyed and his hat is torn to shreds.
Dadan's okay, though.http://animeprodestiny.forumcommunity.net/?t=37961776&p=267529125
>>8294Unless the other pages make his death more evident, it's still possible that he's alive and with the Revolutionaries.>>8295FUCK YEAAAH
>>8296You know, now that I think about it Oda tends to use the hat as a metaphor for defeat, never death. Anyone with a hat on that actually dies dies with it on.
Ace: Where is the one who killed Sabo!! I'm gonna kill him!!! I'll avenge him!!Bandit: wait, Ace!!Dadan: Stop it, you brat!!Ace: Get off of me!!Dadan: You're full of talk, but you got no strength to back it up!! What could you possibly do by going there!? You'll just die, that's what!!You'll get killed, and be forgotten the very next day!! That's how weak you are, at least for now!!Dadan: This world killed Sabo!! What could you possibly do!!?Your father died and changed the era!! You decide however you want to live and die, AFTER you achieved that level of manliness!!!Dadan: Tie this idiot up!!Bandits: Y..yes ma'am!!Luffy: SABOOOO!!!!!!Ace: Shut up Luffy!! You're a man, don't go about crying like that!!Luffy: Waaaaaaaahhhhh!!!So regardless of if he's dead or not, they certainly think he is.
>>8299Ace.
>>8301He was hatless to begin with during the war.
>>8303Still want to know where the fuck that hat went. Fuck knows, Oda might just make it important to screw with us.
Stop playing with my fragile heart of glass Oda... ;_;
Always thought sabo was retarded.seemed like it stole the spotlight off luffy's flashback, unless there will be another.but the colorspread is awesome.
well...that was pretty telegraphed, wasn't it?
>>8304Blackbeard's gonna send it to Rayleigh's house in a package for Luffy filled with Cherry Pies.
>>8315Akainu is gonna wear it around and Luffy will have to curb stomp him to get it back.He then gives it to "insert potentially new character here" because of the close relationship they had with Ace
>>8299didn't Hiruluk's hat fly off?you know, like one would when an explosion happens.
>>8487Yes, it did.Also, holy crap, I only saw this flashback in the anime I didn't know it was freaking 5 chapters long.
>>8493Oh Chopper. I miss his original reindeer art style. His "new" Chibi form that he's slowly morphed into over the years is fine, but I liked how he used to look like an actual reindeer.
>>8554There's actually a story behind that. Oda originally drew Chopper as not all that cute because he didn't want him to become a mascot. But them a.) he became a mascot anyway and b.) he decided he liked the anime's (cuter) design for Chopper better than his own, so he's been drawn really cute from then on.
>>8574Another hilarious comparison is the difference between flashback kid Luffy and chapter one, volume one kid Luffy.
