[Luffy had told him, earlier. That Sabo had survived, but it all seemed so surreal then, he's just now lucid enough that he's not clinging and begging to not die again, or struggling through denial over what had happened at all. He heard, he knew, but it seemed like a dream. Hardly anything more real or tangible than what had happened to himself.
He'd acted like a scared child in Marco's arms, and held Luffy close and used him as an emotion crutch so he'd have someone to focus on and something to focus on but his own trauma, and then there's this.
This is too much, and this time while he's crying, he's laughing too and he's not sure why. He all but tackles Sabo, arms winding around him and once again today he's felt so happy that it's literally painful somehow.
Sabo really is alive, his brother survived and nothing can top that. Not even coming back to life.] You're okay! Sabo, dammit. I- Damn, you look so cool, I wanna know everything you've been up to. How did you get here? You're alive, I'm alive, Luffy's here too. This is-[It all dissolves into laughter that reflects his happiness. It's going to be amazing, now that the three of them are back together again.]
