One Piece: How powerful is flame emperor Sabo? Luffy's brother and revolutionary hero explained
One Piece's world is home to some of the fiercest pirates and strongest warriors the seas have ever known, but none more so than Sabo, the Flame Emperor himself. While fans are familiar with main character Monkey D. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Luffy as the future King of the Pirates, Sabo has been sneakily growing into one of the most powerful forces for good in the series. As the right-hand man of Monkey D. Dragon—the world's most wanted man and the leader of the Revolutionary Army—Sabo's strength and backstory play a key role in One Piece 's Final Saga. He's not just Luffy's sworn brother though, he's the inheritor of Portgas D. Ace's awesome flame powers. Here's all you need to know about Sabo's powers, past and future. Who is Sabo in One Piece? Sabo may be a pirate, he's Luffy's sworn brother and a promising major player in the Revolutionary Army. He spent his formative years with Luffy and Ace in the Goa Kingdom, which is where they officially became brothers. Though he did have the privilege of being born into a noble family, the expectation confiding in Sabo himself was that he would be just as corrupt as his family and marred by their homeland's aristocracy. He rebelled against this decision and chose a life of freedom. Tragically, though, Sabo was presumed killed when a World Noble shot down the ship he fled upon. Fortunately, he was rescued by his father Monkey D. Dragon who raised him to be in the Revolutionary Army. It wasn't until Ace first died and he recovered his memories that he decided to solely protect Luffy's dream and fight for justice. Sabo's family ties: Brothers, parents, and a lost childhood Brothers: Luffy and Ace are Sabo's sworn brothers, although they are not blood-related. The trio were inseparable, best friends who swore their lives to one another and hoped to sail the open seas as pirates together. Sabo was born to a wealthy noble family in the Goa Kingdom. His parents would have had him inherit their exalted niche in society. Sabo detested their hatred and bigotry. He got in trouble for running away from home and decided he preferred life on the lam with Luffy and Ace. After his own ship was destroyed by a Celestial Dragon, Dragon had rescued him, took him in and raised him as a member of the Revolutionary Army. What are Sabo's powers? 1. The flame of the fire fist: Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit) After Ace's death, his powerful Logia Devil Fruit—the Mera Mera no Mi—was up for grabs in a battle royale-style tournament in Dressrosa. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sabo joined the cause, won the tournament, and as Ace's inheritance was the Ace's flame powers, he re-inherited Ace's flame powers and became the new 'Fire Fist,' in honor of his comrade's legacy. The legendary Logia-type fruit grants Sabo the ability to produce, manipulate, and become fire. He can shoot gigantic attacks of flame, fly with fire propulsion, and melt through pretty much anything. This means that Sabo can finally use Ace's signature move, Hiken (Fire Fist). 2. Master of ryusoken : Dragon claw martial arts Even before he obtained his flame powers, Sabo was an incredibly powerful combatant. His distinctive martial arts style, Ryusoken (Dragon Claw Fist) is characterized by gripping and crushing his enemies with monstrous strength. It gives him the firepower to blow weapons and armor off foes, as well as take down colossal enemies with ease. This potent technique is stacked atop Armament Haki, a form of invisible armor that empowers attack and defense. 3. Advanced Haki use: Observation and Armament Like most characters in One Piece, Sabo is proficient in both Observation and Armament Haki. Armament Haki hardens his body and blows, enabling him to damage even Logia-type foes. Observation Haki enhances his senses, allowing him to see a few seconds into the future and sniff out foes miles away. As far as we know, Sabo doesn't have access to Conqueror's Haki, which is a legendary power granted only to the most elite fighters on the level of Luffy, Shanks, and Kaido. Sabo's biggest fights and power feats Sabo has already held his own against some of the fiercest foes in the One Piece universe: Defeated Vice Admiral Bastille's defeat in one blow with his Ryusoken technique. Crushed Jesus Burgess (Blackbeard's commander) after mastering the Mera Mera no Mi, or Flame Flame Fruit. Fought against Admiral Fujitora in the Dressrosa Arc—and stalemated him. Falsely accused of the assassination of King Cobra, a murder perpetrated off screen by the shadowy Imu and the Five Elders, garnered him a ticket to the guillotine. These accomplishments prove Sabo's strength is on par with a Yonko Commander or at least near a Marine Admiral, ranking him among the series' most powerful characters. Why is Sabo called the Flame Emperor? Sabo is known as the Flame Emperor due to his powerful abilities and his strong connection to the revolutionary cause. His nickname reflects his mastery over fire, which he gained after consuming the Mera Mera no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit. This transformation not only enhanced his combat skills but also solidified his status as a key figure in the fight against oppression. Sabo's dedication to the ideals of freedom and justice further contributes to his reputation, inspiring others to join the revolution. Sabo received the moniker Flame Emperor after the Lovely incident, in which he freed a number of slaves, but was framed for assassinating a king. To millions around the globe, he was a beacon of rebelliousness and righteousness, hailing him as a heroic liberator, taking on rough-and-tumble dictatorship. His fame and influence has reached such heights that even the World Government now considers him a significant threat on the same level as Luffy, Blackbeard, and other future kings of the sea. Is Sabo stronger than Ace? This is no easy question. While Ace understandably was awesomely powerful and able to wield all three forms of Haki, Sabo has had more years of training, given his martial arts expertise, and rapidly tempered himself to the spiritual aspects of the Mera Mera no Mi. Most fans would tell you that Sabo—currently—is more powerful than Ace was at the moment of his execution. Sabo's role saked for so long in One Piece, but he's suddenly one of the most integral characters to the final saga's closing chapters. As Dragon's second-in-command, a symbol of revolution, and Luffy's brother, Sabo's role in the coming war against the World Government will only get bigger and overshadowing. Whether he's battling an Admiral, Imu, or even going up against Blackbeard, major developments are sure to come with Sabo's continued presence as the Final Saga kicks into high gear. Sabo is one of the strongest heroes in One Piece Sabo is no longer just Luffy's long lost brother or Ace's retcon replacement. He's turned into a legend of his own. From fire powers to martial arts to advanced haki, he's one of the most powerful combatants in One Piece and a crucial player in the fight to determine the world's future.

One Piece theory: Dragon's Final battle could be against the Celestial Dragon King
credit- Fandom One Piece, currently the world's most popular anime and manga series, is in its Final Saga —meaning this long-running story is wrapping up in the not-too-distant future. As creator, Eiichiro Oda, gets ready to tie off this expansive narrative, seeing the most central of characters enter the code for the final time is something die-hard fans are looking forward to. One character who's been largely cloaked in intrigue is Monkey D. Dragon , leader of the Revolutionary Army and father to the series' main protag Luffy . Until now, Dragon had operated largely under the radar. That's soon to be over. According to the most recent evidence, Oda might have already teased who Dragon's ultimate foe will be, and it's a battle that would change the One Piece world forever. Monkey D. Dragon wants to destroy the world government Monkey D. Dragon is considered one of the most dangerous men in the world of One Piece—not just because of his monstrous strength, but due to his very existence. Once a Marine Once Dragon was revealed the truths of the corrupt World Government, he left the military. He would go on to form the Freedom Fighters, which would later become the Revolutionary Army. What is their mission you may ask? To deliver all peoples from the unaccountable despotism of tyrants and deliver the world from the rule of the Celestial Dragons—their horrible, awful, nasty elite rulers who abuse regular folks like slaves! 'There can be no happiness in a world where those deemed unnecessary are weeded out and eliminated… One day, I will change this world… you mark my words.' Monkey D. Dragon Revolutionary Army vs. Celestial Dragons: The war has already begun While Dragon and his forces have been making larger moves under the radar, their sneak attacks were starting to take a toll. They've aided revolutionaries in Citizens House's evil government and most recently liberated slaves under the control of the noble Celestial Dragons—which in their capital, Marijoa. In a downlinked episode from one recent mission, Dragon's commanders—Nick Sabo, Morley, Caribou Karasu, and Lindbergh—managed to successfully extract Bartholomew Kuma, their former comrade turned human weapon. Through further acts of rebellion, they went on to destroy food stores intended for the Celestial ruling class, sending shockwaves through their world by demonstrating that even the most powerful could be struck where they hurt most. Though obstructed by two mighty Admirals, Fujitora and Ryokugyu, the Revolutionary Army ultimately triumphed with their operation. Fujitora even assisted, suggesting that not all denizens of the World Government are on board with its barbaric methods. Dragon's final opponent could be Figarland Garling Even though most of the Revolutionary Army commanders have fought already, Dragon himself has never fought up till now. That's almost certainly about to change. Shortly after the release, many fans speculated that Figarland Garling—the wicked Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights—would be Dragon's last and most personal foe. Here's what's going on behind the scenes and why. Garling is everything that Dragon hates. He's a proud Celestial Dragon, used to the fact that common people aren't worthy of his attention. The worst for which He has been publicly committed is the ordered execution of innocent non-combatants. As Godhead of Science and Defense, he serves as one of the World Government's highest enforcers of their oppressive rule. He commands the Holy Knights, the aforementioned Order that Dragon identifies as the Government's most lethal weapon. This fight will not only be a fight of might against might. It will be a fight of values, liberty versus oppression, equity versus despotism. What makes this fight so important If Dragon vs. Garling does occur, that'll be one of the largest One Piece fights ever. It might just finally unlock the secrets of Dragon's shady backstory, his ties with Luffy, and the last steps to overthrowing the World Government's tyranny. As unbelievable as this situation may sound, Oda has masterfully set the stage for this crescendo. Just as Luffy is destined to fight Imu, the world's secret ruler, Dragon's ultimate battle will be the last strike against the Celestial Dragons' dictatorship. With both men standing on either side of justice, Dragon vs. Garling could be the battle that determines the future of the One Piece world. When does the next One Piece chapter come out? That said, there is the possibility that One Piece new Chapter could be an uncensored color page where they advance the official release to May 25, 2025. We hope you will enjoy reading it for free on Manga Plus, the official service for the latest chapters! With every chapter, fans are one step closer to witnessing the story's conclusion and likely Dragon's much-anticipated rematch. Dragon's moment is coming One of the biggest things fans have been waiting for over the years has been Monkey D. Dragon going all out in a fight. Now, with One Piece entering its final stretch, that time has nearly come. With the Revolutionary Army ascendant and the Celestial Dragons laid low, a great war approaches and Dragon's ultimate foe might already be standing before him. Could he be the one to lead the world's crooked despots to justice? If Oda's clues are to be believed, then Dragon vs. Garling might be the last big clash that will determine One Piece's legacy.

The US Factory Where Trump Previewed His Tariffs in 2017 Is Now in China
When Donald Trump set out to mark the 100th day of his first term in 2017, he headed for a wheelbarrow factory in a swing state with a rich history and patriotic bona fides. The Ames True Temper plant in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, had almost 150 years of production behind it, and the company's toolmaking history went back even further, to 1774. Ames Cos. supplied shovels to George Washington's Revolutionary Army and to the carvers of Mount Rushmore. Its wheelbarrows helped build the Hoover Dam. For Trump it was a perfect backdrop to launch his plans to bring factory jobs back to America. 'We believe in 'Made in the USA,' and it's coming back stronger and better and faster than even I thought,' Trump told reporters that day as he sat at a desk set up on the factory floor. With cabinet members and Ames staff lined up behind him, he signed two executive orders that set in motion the process that less than a year later led to his first tariffs.
