Sabo let his Devil Fruit rise, smoke taking over his back as he was shot at. He dashed across the courtyard in of the marine base, grinning sharply as he parried an attack with his pipe. He had places to be, Luffy was going to be at Laugh Tale tomorrow and Sabo would be damned if he wasn 't there to see his baby brother become the king (again). But he also wanted Smoker to be there with him.

Sabo didn 't want to plan his lover 's future, didn 't want to whisper doubts into his ears so he would leave the marines and be with him, so he sat back and comforted Smoker when he needed it. But this morning, Smoker had called, and Sabo had been overjoyed to hear that the marine wanted out.
