Affection wasn’t the former warlord’s strong point. He placed a hand on Sanji’s shoulder.

“Never forget that promise. Luffy isn’t the only one who will hold you to it. But your feelings matter. I apologize if we have failed to acknowledge your feelings and make you feel valued.”

-together.

Your place is here. Luffy and all of us could not do this without you. Stay because you realize you’re needed and cared about. Stay because you matter. Not because I am asking you to say or you feel guilty.”

“For what? For having feelings and wanting to feel valued? You don’t have to apologize for that. You’re valued by all of us. Often times it can feel differently. We spend every waking moment together on sea. We go through things most couldn’t imagine together, but that’s the key word. We do this-

-will be letting the entire crew down, yourself, and him. Nobody on this ship is replaceable. But the we are all connected and one connected piece we all crumble.

Are you strong enough to stay or are you just going to be the one who makes this whole ship crumble?”

“You aren’t replaceable. Do you not understand why he says such harsh things to you? You’re the person he feels the most safe with. You’re the one he knows he can push and they will not disappear on him.

“No. He isn’t who I am having this conversation. He isn’t the one deciding if you leave or not. You are.”

“Because I see you as just as valuable as me. If you’re not needed then I am not either.”

“Then I am not either.”

“I’ll stay only if you do. You have my word on that.”

“No more and no less than he needs you. I’m fine without a certain direction. We will figure it out along the way.”

“I’m going with you.”

“Fine. I’ll pack my things too.”

“And where are you going?”
