I see. Hmn. I don't have much choice however. Smoker said... something similar and that if I wait too long doors will close anyway but...

If I leave... I'm closing a door there too. No matter where I go. I'm not a responsible person but I can't just leave this crew to fend for themselves. Although they'd probably be better off but that's not the point! And if the World Government comes after us, we'll deal with it then. Besides, it's not like their ships can follow us. So far as I can tell this is the only submarine on the Grand Line.
