Long Summary[]

Sabo, Luffy, and Ace continued their adventures and grew stronger day by day. They beat up a crocodile and then dressed up as a seller of Grey Terminal going into the Goa Kingdom pretending to be selling crocodile leather for the nobles to the guards. They beat up some thugs and thieves on their way to the nobles and they realized it was the three kids. When they get inside the city, every noble was disgusted by their disguise for being so dirty. They sold the crocodile for a lot of money. They then headed straight to a restaurant to eat ramen.

The manager of the restaurant refused to let them inside the restaurant, but Sabo gave him a precious jewel, a bribe that immediately changed the owner's mind. After being taken to their own private room, they relaxed and ate a lot of food. When the waiter girl became tired of delivering the extra servings to them, she went inside the room and saw a long hand stretching and grabbing the bowls from her hands. Scared by this, she reported back to the manager. When the manager and the waiter girl checked inside to see more, they witnessed the three kids greedily eating the ramen bowls. Seeing they were caught, Luffy, Sabo, and Ace smashed through the window, jumped out of the building, and made a run for it. While running, a noble called Sabo by his name, which confused Luffy and Ace. Ace asked Sabo for an explanation only to see his friend deny everything and state that the noble had mistaken him for someone else.

When they arrived at Grey Terminal, Ace and Luffy convinced Sabo to tell them what Sabo was hiding from them. Sabo told them that he was in fact a noble. Luffy and Ace were more confused and both poked their nose. Sabo then decided to tell the truth. He had been born from a noble called Outlook III and his wife. As a small child, his parents had urged him to study a lot and come top at his exams so that he could marry the royal family's daughter, in order to get wealth, fame, and a higher status. Sabo had wondered if that would make him happy and they had replied yes, lying to him. Sabo had become an intelligent and brilliant student. He had studied a lot believing that he would eventually be happy.

One day, while his father was occupied working hard, Sabo came to him and showed him a picture he had drawn to see his father's opinion. In anger, his father tore the drawing up and told him to go study, which made Sabo feel really sad. To make matters worse, he had a fight with the royal family's son who had used a knife to beat him. Sabo got injured and so did the royal son. Sabo said to his mother he was injured from a knife and he started it but his mother ignored it and slapped him. Realizing that they were using him, Sabo went to a new place known as Grey Terminal where everybody was free and fun-loving and had no worries. Sabo went there day by day and eventually loved that place and spent most of his time there. This led to his grades dropping significantly. His father noticed it and told him to never go to that "stinky and rotten" place again. Sabo could not agree with that order and eventually escaped from home and started living there.

So this was the life story of Sabo. Ace then vowed to the two of his friends that he would become such a pirate one day, everybody would know his name. Sabo also vowed that too, but much to their surprise, Luffy told them that he would become Pirate King. Ace and Sabo both mocked Luffy afterwards. Ace then brought three cups and a stolen bottle of sake from Curly Dadan and told them that if men drink together, they become brothers, so the three boys did, officially becoming "brothers".
