Since I just noticed that Sabo still was the scars from the "leaving dawn on a ship to escape his shitty parents" fiasco in the Stinky Child Au, does that mean the event still happens even with Crocodile probably being there? If it still does happen then those that mean Dragon still rescues him and Sabo still gets amnesia?
P.S. Poor Dragon and Crocodile in this scenario 😢 there one "smart" kid getting blown up
It still happened, but I'm not entirely sure how.
Dragon was probably with the RA, preparing for the possibility of something happening in Goa due to the Celestial Dragon visit. He probably told the kids to be careful, to not go to the city but of course the kids went to the city anyway because there was a lot of excitement as Goa prepared for the visit of a Celestial Dragon. And then Outlook grabbed Sabo and locked him up. Sabo of course escaped, decided to steal a ship to escape to Windmill Village or another determined safe location and then he got hurt.
It would result in Dragon taking a wounded and amnesiac Sabo to Baltigo for medical treatment. So for a while Sabo was out of reach for Ace and Luffy, but he didn't take a decade to remember them again.
(I think all their kids are smart, to a degree...! XD)
But yeah, I'm not sure, maybe I need to rethink this. I don't need the fake out death of course and if one kid goes to Baltigo, why no all kids, etc etc. I initially wanted to keep Stinky Child AU as close to canon as possible but it would mean that Dragon and Croc make some questionable parenting decisions I suppose X'D
