Name meaning
'Sabao' = Portuguese sabão 'soap' — the same loanword (シャボン shabon, 'soap/bubble') that names the host island Sabaody Archipelago, whose yarn-mangroves blow soap-like resin bubbles. The Dome sits in Sabaody Park, continuing the archipelago's soap/bubble naming theme.

Grand Line — Sabaody Park, Grove 33 · first appeared: Ch. 598

Profile

A large concert hall in Sabaody Park, Grove 33 (Ch. 598 p.8). Hosts Brook’s (“the Soul King”) sold-out farewell world-tour concert — packed to capacity, with banners reading “SK BROOK WORLD TOUR,” TD sales “over a million,” and fans collapsing in the crush (pp.7-9). Showcases Brook’s timeskip power-up as musical superstardom.

Etymology

Confidence: medium · “Sabao” = Portuguese sabão “soap” — the same loanword (シャボン shabon, “soap / bubble”) that gives the host island Sabaody Archipelago its name, after the soap-like resin bubbles its yarn-mangroves blow. The Dome stands in Sabaody Park, so its name simply carries the archipelago’s soap/bubble theme forward into the venue. Inference from the established Sabaody = sabão derivation (no dedicated source for “Sabao Dome” itself). Source: One Piece Wiki — Sabaody Archipelago.
