Its obvious sabo is alive eventho there's no proof of it.
The person Dragon helped was either Sabo or someone completely random in which case we would have seen who the random person was, its not Oda's style to troll about things like that.

Exactly.. I am sure Oda did this because he still wants to show us that luffy still has a brother.

Yeah they were like "Shit man, killing Ace off was a pretty dick move. Here, have a new brother."

Actually it was.. I mean why did they do that? what was the benefit of it? Whitebeard it's okay because this shows us that the pirate age is changing but Ace is just 3 years older then luffy he just started his adventure...

I guess in order to give Luffy a reason to become stronger, but they came up with a new brother to make up for the loss of Ace.

ehh,,, what.. lol

I am still trying to figure the whole point of dragons band,,

I was sure that dragon would have gone in and saved sabo and kill that celestial dragon

thus getting his name by that,.,, but now

well lets see what comes and hopefuly luffy will stop crying now ><

But you know, his team did get owned pretty badly at Sabaody archipelago. Kizaru could've killed everyone easily.

Btw, in the manga have they revealed what was Kumas reason for helping the Strawhats and what he whispered to Rayleight? I'm hoping we'll find out when Luffy starts his training with Rayleight.

im pretty sure it has been revealed, i think i read it somewhere... and it think it was something very vague and not detailed about his reasons

totally.

it will get cleared up next episode or two. Cant weight
