"I'm doing this for my own dream. For All Blue." He can't help but remember, when he said he would come and join this crazy ship, how Luffy had danced, that wild grin wider than almost he ever saw it before or since. He can't help but recall that joy, when he was new and exciting and wanted - and such a preciously strange thing, that nothing was wanted of him but what he was already, that he could make someone so happy just by being.
You'd think he would miss it, that uniqueness, that importance, when every kick he threw was unpredicted and every dish he served was a surprise and his cigarettes hadn't yet darkened the kitchen curtains and his shoes hadn't yet scuffed the floor. There are newer crewmates now, and he's just one of the crew; the cook, as all ships have a cook, an ordinary, expected fixture.
You'd think he would miss it, but then Luffy leans back from the table, empty bowls piled high around him, throws up his fists and shouts to the twilight sky, "I've got the best cook in the world!" And it doesn't matter if it's true; doesn't matter if the stars are listening, or the waves, when it's loud enough for them to hear it all the same.
