After the last chapter, or rather its unofficial leaks, many fans noticed that it was strange that luffy and robin were immediately convinced of Sabo's innocence, while Dragon, with whom he stays on a daily basis, had doubts.
The question is why?
We know practically nothing about Dragon's relationship with his colleagues / employees, and all assumptions about the mentor-subordinate relationship or Sabo's father-son relationship with Dragon are only fan assumptions. In fact, we don't know what it really looks like. And here many people can remind me that I am wrong etc.
And I may be wrong, but please pay attention to the beginning of my speech regarding the boss-employee relationship. The boss is the person responsible for all the people who work for him. It is a responsibility that does not always allow you to express your true thoughts (words, deeds, etc.), so the employer, as a person with a certain responsibility, often has to remain neutral (the more so because they are revolutionaries, about whom we know practically nothing, there may always appear some traitor or they may be eavesdropped or something similar). Imagine what would happen if, by some miracle, information leaked to the Government that Dragon cares more about one of his people …
Dragon is a man who abandoned his son for his safety (yes, technically I know it's just assumptions too), so would he really risk the life of any of his people that much?
