Fears from the Heart

...

They're safely away from the Lobby, but their captain is missing. Sogeking remembers a conversation.

"Luffy, how can you look death in the face and manage to laugh about it?" He only gives him a grin that is more half-hearted than usual.

"I wish…I wish I could be as fearless as you are…" Luffy almost smiles.

"I'm not fearless, Usopp," he barks out a laugh. "If I ever lost you guys again, if you died again, because of me…that's my greatest fear, I couldn't live if that happened again,"

He remembers thinking that losing his captain was his greatest fear.
