( A party in this place can't be that bad if it's arranged by residents and not staff, right? Luffy can't imagine anyone stuck in the resort would spike the drinks and put stuff on the food, but then again stranger things have happened and even Luffy wouldn't bet credits on it. )
I'm not that stubborn. ( Spoilers; he is. And the question makes Luffy pause. Really it's not his place to say. )
Oh? Did you get less stubborn over the past few years? ( DOUBT, but Shanks sounds like he's entertaining the idea if that's what Luffy thinks. Still isn't someone who should be talking. )
( And, alas, he tried on the information, but leaves it at that. ) At least he has someone else to focus on, then.
( Luffy can barely contain his excitement at that idea and he's already vibrating over the concept of having a celebration with Shanks. Becoming a pirate captain had been an accomplishment, but Luffy knows he's still got far to go before filling the criteria of the promise laid out between them. )
C'mon, I wasn't that stubborn! You were just as stubborn!
Well Grandpa won't be following anymore anyway, we were headed to the Grand Line when we turned up here. I don't think he's allowed out of the East Blue.
( Oh, he's been called out, and Shanks can't deny it. He just laughs. )
You are. And of course I am. If I wasn't, I would've had a future pirate captain wasting away on my ship. You're headed in the right direction, instead. ( Not that Shanks knew it then. He had wanted to offer Luffy a place in his crew, later, but he had to go and make that promise. Shanks is eager to see that pan out. )
I supposed, whether or not he's allowed depends on how stubborn he is.
I dunno, the kitchens? Less distance to walk for refills.
And you're definitely more stubborn than me, but it worked out like you said. ( Luffy knows that he's on the right path, he would never have met his crew if Shanks had taken him with. )
He's stubborn, but he's also a vice-admiral. I'd be shocked if I saw him outside of that area.
Kitchen it is! ( Would they be pirates if they weren't flaunting the rules in some fashion, after all? The kitchens are perfect all around. )
I'm more stubborn, huh? Perhaps I should do some soul-searching, because that is heavily stubborn. ( It doesn't matter who is more stubborn - Shanks is laughing. And it did, indeed, work out for the best. Shanks has to believe in that. )

Hmmm, stubborn. Like you? ( Shanks sounds several levels of amused. )
Who does he have in mind?

Just a really good marine recruit.

Then here's to hoping he does as expected.
