"…Why'd you do it, cook? Is this some kind of new game for you? 'Cause I'm not laughing."

"Hn, sometimes you just need to relax and stop being so suspicious, Marimo. I kissed you just now, so next time if you ever feel sorry that you've been born after some shitty-ghost touches you again like that last one, this time you'll have a reason to live."

"… Che, like I'm really gonna need you to kiss me for that… Why now, anyways, cook? Why not before that?"

"It was just a rationalisation that hit me after that shitty-skeleton bastard talked to me after the battle. He said that we actually had a similar resolution over things. Weird, isn't it? All my life after I joined Luffy's crew I've hated you 'cause you're such an idiotic muscle head, but a new nakama on the Sunny, someone who just met us, knows that we actually have similar resolutions? It got me thinking, that if it's true, it means that I'm hating myself as long as I keep hating you, because we're basically the same, Marimo. Have you ever heard the old aphorism that says, 'People will never love you if you don't love yourself first.'? That's why I figure, if for all this time I never had a lady love me back is because I don't love myself, and by extension you, then I'd better start… Are you following me here, or do I need to write it down for you?"

"…"

( Sound of someone being kissed )

"… Asshole! Why did you do that?!"

"Are you stupid, cook? The only thing that'll happen to you if you kiss me, is me kissing you back, baka. Oh, and thanks for the love… I think I can get used to that fast…"
