(Koby would have found his niche in the crew just like the others had. Even Usopp has his own place and Luffy doesn't doubt for a second Koby would have too. Though the killer clown going to pieces may have tipped him over the edge, that would had been a rough time. It had been for everyone involved.)

Why wouldn't I? (Luffy tilts his head, expression curious at that question. If Koby hadn't mentioned his dream then he would absolutely have made the offer until the other was comfortable sharing that wish.) Koby, you were my first crew mate and we sailed to Shells Town together. I'll never forget that and no matter what happens there's always space for you on the Going Merry if you ever need it. Some people can find their dreams change and if the marines isn't working out, then try and find us.
