[He was about to punch him... until the thank you so his eyes just soften.]
Don't tell me you're fine when you're not. Maybe you really believe it, but I know you can do better.
[He rubs the back of his own neck and glances off.] Look, I know I'm pretty fucked up and everything. And it's not that I want it to stay that messed up...
But sometimes that's the best I can do. Sorry. And believe it or not... Smoker does get that. He just has his own problems too, you know?
[Slings an arm around Zoro's shoulders and pokes his cheek.] Believe me, that's why I have so many nakama and Smoker. But someone needs to worry more about you since you don't do it enough.
I said you're not, because I know you're not, so stop trying to convince me I'm crazy. I hate that it should be painfully obvious to everyone around you and only I seem to see that. So maybe you're good at hiding it, but I know better so knock it off. If you can't worry about yourself, then I will. But if you can't even tell that there's something wrong I'm going to worry a lot more.
No! I cannot and I will not! You aren't just supposed to be a strong swordsman, you're supposed to be the best! And the more you think things you need are a weakness, the more brittle you're going to become! That's not strong!

[He sighs]
But I'm not the kind of guy who can keep going with things knowing how...other things are going to turn out.
[He reaches over and ruffles his hair]
Worry about yourself more, idiot.

Like I said it's not your job to worry. There's nothing wrong! I'm a strong swordsman and that's all I need to be. Just accept that, damnit.

There are plenty of stronger swordsman who have less than I do.
[Like Mihawk. He wouldn't bother with this shit. He knew better]

Meet Vista before you say that kind of thing.

And Vista's probably stronger, they just haven't had a chance to fight yet.
