I believe that friends who watched the latest episode of One Piece all learned the news of Saab's distress through the trailer, and the bird of the news agency published the news of the death of someone through the newspaper, and then the camera turned to the frightened expression of the revolutionary army, so many people speculated that the dead person was Saab. But in fact, the possibility of Saab's death is very small, for the following five reasons.
1. This could be a gimmick made by newsbirds
Morgans is the head of the newsbird, and in the 956 episodes of the manga (corresponding to the 957 episodes of the anime), he explicitly says that he is a text DJ who will use lies to encourage readers, and it is up to him to determine everything that is published in the newspaper. Therefore, although some people died in this Draco attack launched by the revolutionary army, we do not know who died. It is quite possible that the news will use Saab's identity to create gimmicks.
2. The Navy would not be stupid enough to kill Saab directly
Judging from the reaction of the revolutionary army, we can only be sure that something happened to Saab, but we cannot be sure whether he was captured or killed. Even if the person who caused the accident was really Saab, the probability of being caught was far higher than the possibility of death, because Saab was the second in command of the revolutionary army, and he knew a lot of internal intelligence, so the navy could obtain information about the sworn enemy revolutionary army by torturing Saab, and it was impossible to kill him on the spot.
3. Saab's death will repeat the plot of Ace's death
Although Oda is a symmetry maniac, he will only engage in symmetry in some settings and small details, and will not repeat it in the big plot. For example, although Saab is also Luffy's older brother and has burnt fruit, his experience and identity with Ace are completely different.
If Saab is also caught by the Navy and dies, then his ending will be the same as Ace's, which will make the reader feel that the plot is not innovative enough, and Oda Zai will certainly not do such a thing. And Oda has laid so much groundwork for Ace's death that it is impossible to make Saab die with a single piece of news. So, while we can't be sure if Saab will survive the finale, he certainly won't die so simply.
4. Oda promised never to draw dead people easily
Oda once said in SBS that his grandmother called him when she knew he was drawing manga and told him not to draw dead people easily, so few characters in One Piece died, and most of those who did not say that they were dead were still alive (such as Bell, Xiao Feng, etc.). And one of the three chapters of Oda and the fans' covenant law is that it is not easy to draw dead people.
5. Saab won't die so worthless
In One Piece, the death of important characters must be valuable, such as Ace protecting Luffy with his life, Whitebeard using life to promote a new era, and so on. Saab is also a very important character, even if he dies, it must be to protect someone, or to promote the change of the world, so Saab will not just die without even a little comic space, which will seem to be of little significance.
These are the 5 reasons why Saab can't die, do you think Saab may repeat the ending of Ace? Feel free to leave a comment below.
