Sabo's distinctive scar resulted from severe burns he sustained when his fishing boat was shot down by a Celestial Dragon named Saint Jalmack.
The Incident with Saint Jalmack
At a young age, Sabo suffered a traumatic experience that left him with his prominent facial scar. The incident occurred when he was out on his fishing boat, flying a pirate flag. This act caught the attention of Saint Jalmack, a powerful and entitled Celestial Dragon.
- Perpetrator: Saint Jalmack, a Celestial Dragon.
- Cause: Saint Jalmack indiscriminately shot at Sabo's fishing boat.
- Reason: Sabo's boat was flying a pirate flag, which presumably displeased the Celestial Dragon.
- Injury: Sabo received serious burns from this attack, which manifested into his lasting scar.
The Aftermath and Its Significance
The near-fatal attack and the resulting disfigurement were pivotal moments in Sabo's life. The experience solidified his disdain for his noble heritage and the oppressive system represented by the Celestial Dragons.
- Deepening Convictions: The attack fueled Sabo's existing resentment towards his noble background and the injustices prevalent in the world.
- Rescue and New Path: Following the incident, Sabo was rescued by Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army. He subsequently begged Dragon to allow him to join the organization, dedicating his life to fighting against the very system that caused his injuries.
His scar serves not only as a physical reminder of his past trauma but also as a symbol of his commitment to the Revolutionary Army and his fight against the world's injustices.
