Sailing Dreams

Oda makes some interesting commentary over the course of this flashback. All indications point to Sabo's family being ridiculously wealthy and powerful--they're not pushing Sabo to marry into the royal family because they're an impoverished family with a noble name, for example. Even after Sabo's family succeeds in making Stelly king, the first thing he tries to do at the Reverie is sit on the Empty Throne. They have everything they could ever want, but it's not enough.

Bluejam is the same. He's a successful pirate captain with a loyal crew, but sells himself to the royal house on the promise of being made an aristocrat.

Then there's the king himself, the leader of a prosperous and apparently peaceful nation, who sets an enormous fire in order to clean up the mess he made and hopefully kill a few undesirables along the way, all in order to cozy up to the Celestial Dragons.

FLY is a story about a boy who gets a second chance. Help his story take flight June 9th 11am EST on Kickstarter. Thank you for being the wind beneath my wings I hope this story lifts the world to a brighter place.

Hey, Saul… Aren’t you gonna praise me for being alive?

I got to say that if Bonney was raised at the Revolutionary Army, Sabo would be her favourite big brother.

Let’s become pirates together! 🎩 🔥
