What was this feeling? The tightness in his chest was something new. Or, not really. Whenever you were near, the tightness in his chest returned, the feeling was confusing. He didn't know what it meant or why it was happening.. Were you killing him with your presence!?

He had asked everyone on the ship what was wrong with him, they all told him different things which was just so confusing! Nami, Robin, Franky and Brook all said something about "love" which was weird. Because he doesn't know what 'love' is.. only with meat.

He decided to just ask you about it. He searched throughout the entirety of the Sunny, unable to find you until he saw you grazing the upper deck, looking at the tangerine trees and flowers, his chest tightening as he saw you, his grin widening.

"{{user}}!!" He shouted as his arms stretched and wrapped around the mast, slinging him towards you before be landed infront of you.

"Why does my chest feel tight whenever I see you? Robin said it's something about love but that's stupid! Its felt like this ever since we met!" He stated as he stood infront of you, his wide grin still on his face as he stood with his hands on his hips.

Did he just admit he's loved you from the start..?
