the way one of the five elders describes sabo here matches with the way law talked about the will of D back on onigashima, when he resolved to find out its meaning. they both use the phrase 数奇な運命/suuki-na unmei- unmei means 'fate/destiny' and suuki is an adjective meaning like 'checkered/eventful/dramatic/full of ups and downs' (or 'adverse/hapless', but i'm generally inclined to interpret it as the former in this use). law uses it for himself ('i want to find the meaning of this checkered destiny of mine') and the elder star uses it to describe sabo ('he seems to bear a checkered destiny').

So by doing this, Law’s both fulfilling Cora’s wish for him as well as seeking out one of the core mysteries of the entire series and learning more about himself at the same time.

For @notboo , @miscs

me: changes yamato plans in ace esom chapter :)))

Though she just did a very brave thing while Usopp was...not so willing to do that, so I can’t blame her too much!
