What things? What do you mean? [He asks for clarification, as if he wanted to confirm what he meant. No kid should be overlooked, and regardless of what he says, the intention was different.

He then stares at the other blond, in a serious expression. While he should be more considerable, he chooses not to, being more concerned over the matter himself.]

It's unlikely Luffy will ask but as someone who appreciates his friends and family... I'd rather you be more honest with him than hide it.

[He's had the experience to hide something huge himself as a kid....mainly that he came from a noble family. It was after some time when Luffy and Ace find out he ran away that he admits to it. He knows that if he cares about his brother that much, it's best not to keep any secrets.]

The amount of love he puts into the people he cares for, family.. friends.. nakama..it's irreplacable. You should know this, as his crewmate.
