One Piece 584
Luffy is interrogated and beaten by Ptolemy but refuses to sell out Ace and Sabo. Ace and Sabo eventually rescues Luffy and beats up Ptolemy. After the rescue, Ace and Sabo accept Luffy into their group. Meanwhile, Ptolemy is executed by his captain Bluejam.
One Piece 585
Luffy, Ace and Sabo manage to sneak into town. While escaping from a restaurant after jumping a bill, Sabo is recognized by a nobleman. Later, Sabo reveals that the man from town is his dad. Sabo admits that he was born from a noble family but ran away from home because nobles are too snotty, and Ace and Luffy are fine with that. The three kids continue to hang out and cause trouble together until Sabo is taken away by his father with help from the Bluejam Pirates.
One Piece 586
After Sabo is taken away, Ace and Luffy are "enlisted" by Bluejam to take part in an operation. Back in town, Sabo's family tries to force Sabo to return to the noble ways. Sabo eventually learns that the Grey Terminal will be set on fire and sets out to warn Luffy and Ace. Meanwhile, Ace and Luffy find out that they are supposed to set fire to trash mountain and attempt to resist, but they are restrained by Bluejam's pirates. At night, the Bluejam Pirates carry out the operation and then attempts to enter town as promised by the nobles, but the town gate is closed. Meanwhile, Ace and Luffy escape from their restraints and try to get away from the fire. Back in town, Sabo arrives at the gate but is forced to backtrack because of nearby soldiers. The distraught Sabo runs into a hooded man and voices his disgust for the nobles. The hooded man turns out to be Dragon, and after hearing Sabo's words Dragon is even more motivated to do something about the corruption.

The flashback arc continued over the last three weeks. Chapters 584 and 585 were fairly predictable and not that exciting, but things became more interesting in chapter 586 with the appearance of Luffy's dad Dragon. Looks like this will be a little more than your average childhood experience flashback. We'll also finally get to see the escapades that made Dragon so infamous. Whatever Dragon is trying to do, it'll probably have an (indirect) impact on Luffy and Ace's relationship. I wonder what will happen to Sabo though since Luffy and Ace never mentioned him after they grew up.
