I want to protect him. I wanted to see him happy. Just smile more. [Wraps his arms around Japan's shoulders and crosses them to hold Japan closely.] I will still protect Luffy and try to see the new Era through for my Pops, but it's a lot harder to just enjoy what I can here without him.

And he was the only brother I had here. I guess Luffy and Sabo adopted me so I won't let them down. [Decides to be mad at Ace. Because fuck it.]
