[ surely luffy will not spiral and become the actual strongest man in the world /cries so much for him. she smiles at that. that's what they would like to truly believe. that they'll be okay. she lifts her chin and is just gonna take his hand gently if allowed. ]
Yeah? Emporio's got Weather on his side... I believe in him too... he's gonna be fine.
[ he lets her hold his hand, though he doesn't exactly hold it back, looking a little unsure ]
... Luffy? [ he says this like he isn't always talking about luffy in some way ] He's... probably the only reason I lived this long in the first place. [ well, he admitted as much in the memory, and it's embarrassing to reiterate, so: ] He latched onto me when he was dropped with the bandits when he was seven. I was ten. I couldn't stand him at first, and I kept trying to ditch him... He was a crybaby, and clingy, and it drove me insane. He's stupid, and reckless, and always getting into trouble without thinking about it-- but he's so honest he's got this way of worming himself into anyone's heart.
