"Maybe I should just go back home."
"Home? You mean Kutzk? You can't be serious. That place is a shithole. We should of done them a favour and razed it to the ground before we left."And where would you go anyway? You think your grandad's gonna welcome you with open arms? The man didn't even know you were family. You think he wants you around? There's nothing for you back there. No one there wants you. They didn't even want you before you turned thug and pirate.
"Your old man didn't want you - you were just stupid enough to keep going back. Hell, you weren't even done nursing before your momma was pregnant with your replacement. You killed a man for beating on your sister and she turned you in for it."
"She was barely more than a child herself, she was scared - "
"And you were ten. They hated you, blood be damned."The workhouses didn't want you. The whorehouses didn't even want you. Athair didn't give a shit about you, you only got his title becuase there was no body else left stupid enough to take it on. What the Hell would you go back for?
"Everyone who ever gave a damn about you is already on this ship. Why the Hell can't you understand that?"
"I can't keep having this fight with you Kidd. Next port, I'm gone. I can't do this."
"Next Port. Okay."Next Port, we'll find a ship for you then. We'll go back. Wire and Heat can take the Punk to the Grand Line. We'll go retire grandpa and tend fields or whatever. I'll even buy you a horse to help plow and shit. If you wanna go back so bad, we'll go back."
"The fuck are you on about, Why would you come with me?"
"Of course I'm going with you! You think I don't regret every day I let you and Doriyanika walk away? I just got you back, and you're stuck with me forever now jackass."
"What about the Grand Line, Finding the One Piece. How you gonna be the Pirate King if you back out now?
Wasn't that your whole dream? Don't you still want that?"
"Stupid dumbass. Of course I'm still going to be Pirate King. But i can wait five or ten years if you need to do this first. We can still set sail again later. When you're ready.Wasn't that your whole dream? Don't you still want that?"
"I'm not leaving you alone again
"We're partners. You're stuck with me."
"You talk shit about my momma again, I'm gonna break your kneecap."
"You better."
