For a long time, One Piece fans believed that Sabo was dead, but he managed to surprise everyone when he made an appearance during the Dressrosa arc. Sabo was taken in by Monkey D. Dragon, who enrolled him in the Revolutionary army. It didn't take long for Sabo to rise through the ranks and solidify his position as one of the strongest fighters in the Revolutionary Army. Currently, Sabo serves as the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army.
In the Dressrosa arc, the fans saw Sabo competing for the Mera Mera no Mi, which once belonged to Ace. Unsurprisingly, Sabo won the tournament and ate the devil fruit, which made him even stronger. With his newfound power, Sabo became very popular, and he received the title of "Flame Emperor." His attacks are easily capable of taking down some of the most powerful characters in One Piece.
7 Mera Mera no Mi
The Mera Mera no Mi is a logia type devil fruit, which makes it a prized possession. The devil fruit grants its user the ability to create and manipulate fire. As it gives the user control over one of the elements, the Mera Mera no Mi is very powerful. Ace exhibited how the devil fruit could potentially cause a lot of damage.
When Sabo ate the devil fruit, he was able to take his attacks to the next level. He couldn't master the devil fruit straight away, and he admitted the lack of control while he fought Fujitora. However, it is obvious that with time, Sabo gained better control over it.
6 Hiken
Hiken or Fire Fist is one of the most famous attacks in the series. This attack was made famous by Portgas D. Ace, who used it a lot of times, and due to his usage, he was known as "Fire Fist Ace." The attack is quite simple to execute, and it requires Sabo to clench his fist and use the power of the devil fruit to increase its power.
The attack is very potent, and Sabo used it during the Dressrosa arc against Burgess. The attack was strong enough to destroy the entire floor of the Corrida Coliseum, and it sent Burgess flying.
5 Moeru Ryusoken: Kaen Ryuo
Moeru Ryusoken: Kaen Ryou is also known as Burning Dragon Claw Fist: Fire Flame Dragon King. The attack is a combination of Sabo's Ryusoken and Mera Mera no Mi power. To perform this attack, Sabo adjusts his fingers on his hand to form "talons," and then he coats them with Armament Haki.
Once his hand is covered, Sabo uses the Mera Mera no Mi to light it on fire, after which he blows away his target with the sheer power of the attack. Sabo used this attack against Jesus Burgess, who is one of Blackbeard's best fighters. This attack was a perfect example of Sabo's strength and how superior he was to a Yonko's right-hand man.
4 Ryusoken
Ryusoken or Dragon Claw Fist is a unique fighting style that has been developed by Sabo. In this style, Sabo positions his fingers in such a way that they appear like claws. He then uses these "claws" to attack his opponents and crush them. If he requires more power, Sabo uses both of his fists instead of his fingers.
To bolster the power of Ryusoken, Sabo uses Armament Haki. The addition of the Haki makes the attacks more potent, and they are strong enough to destroy the surroundings. Sabo managed to destroy the steel helmet of Bastille, a Navy Vice-Admiral.
3 Ryu no Kagizume
This attack is based on Sabo's exceptional usage of Haki and his mastery of Ryusoken. In this attack, Sabo makes a three-fingered claw, and then he attacks his opponent with it. The addition of Haki to this otherwise ordinary physical attack makes it a devastating move. Sabo used this attack to negate Burgess' elbow strike, and the power behind Sabo's attack destroyed the Yonko commander's armor, which was coated with Armament Haki.
2 Ryu no Ibuki
Ryu no Ibuki is a Ryusoken technique where Sabo uses his clenched fist to destroy his surroundings. Sabo coats his fists with Armament Haki, and then he hits the ground, which causes massive damage. This power of this attack works on the concept of every object and a person having a core. So, with a well-placed attack, Sabo can change the tide of a battle completely. This attack will probably have several variations, and as the series goes on, Sabo will get a chance to show them.
1 Non-Canon and Video Games
Since Sabo has had limited screentime, he has only used a handful of his attacks. In One Piece: Stampede, Sabo used Hiken to create a huge wall of fire over the sea, which allowed the pirates to run away from the Marines.
Sabo has two special attacks in One Piece: Burning Blood. One of them is the stronger version of Ryu no Ibuki, which deals a great deal of damage to the opponent. The other attack is not as strong, and in order to use it, Sabo attacks the opponent with his palms, which have been coated with Haki.
