I made a promise to him that I would let all else fall first.
As a Captain, I need you to make sure your crew will be safe from this infection. As a brother, I need to stop Ace because this is the job of the oldest brother, not the youngest. And as a friend, and an ally, until you know what haki is and master it, I'm sorry to be cruel, but you are too weak to fight him as you are now, and that will hurt him more than it will hurt you.
And I can't allow that. It's a vow more sacred than anything else I have. ["If we let that boy fall, it'll shame the very name of the Whitebeard pirates!"]
Staying the last one standing is the toughest thing anyone can do Straw Hat, but that's your job now. You don't get to be selfish this time. That's part of being the captain. [And it's why Marco hates it and never wants to be Captain.]
