No way. [he stands going to walk on the railing, using it as balance beam]

I don't wanna think about worrying and accomplishing. If I wanna do it it's just to have fun or because I wanna.

[which is what kind of sucks. Cuz even if he only wants to do it a little he still wants to do it that little even if he knows. And if he wanted to do it more than he didn't, it would be fine because it was what he wanted to do.

He's kind of jealous of Sanji and Zoro who can do whatever they wanna do with each other and like it and like it so much they keep doing it. But they aren't captains.

He wants to be right where he is more than anything and with his nakama by his side just how they are. So he'll ultimately let it go but he still wants to think about it for a while.

He sighs]

Youp

[and shifts to walk with his hands on the railing, keeping careful balance]

I wonder how Roger had Ace.... [he balances for a moment on his palms, staring at the rushing water.

Maybe he didn't have to think about this kind of thing. Or maybe he figured out something Luffy hadn't.

Well whatever he thought or didn't think or did or didn't do was a mystery and Luffy doesn't want to be just like him. But he is curious]

I guess old man Rayleigh would know.

[but he's not sure if it's really something important enough that he'll remember to answer]
