I want to go home to everybody. It's been a long time. Sanji and Zoro were with me but they don't remember either. I don't mind.

But it's not easy going home. Some people go and come back. You're gonna make a lot of friends here that you don't know when you're gonna see again. [he leans back and absently knocks his heels against the wall, looking at the horizon]

Maybe even Zoro or Sanji will disappear one day. That's just how these things are.

[but he hopes not. He doesn't want anyone to leave except that they all leave together because he doesn't want to leave anyone behind either. It's tough]
