( He is delighted and the fact Nami knows his will go up undoubtedly gets a small noise of cheerful agreement from him. Luffy doesn't care too much about being hunted, or people trying to cash in on him as his numbers go up. The amount is only important in order to understand where he is in regards to Shanks, to be able to measure up how he's doing when it comes down to pirating.

If it went on crew alone, Luffy would have no doubt in the fact he'd win, hands down. The Straw Hats were perfect in every way.

Including Nami. They all deserved to be protected, but there's the acknowledgement too that they could all fight and each had their own strength. Perfect in every way. )

Yeah! Can't say we'll go hungry in the Grand Line that's for sure. You ever had Sea King? I bet it tastes good.
