First Rebecca and Bartolomeo:

Then, to the Straw hats, too:

And Zoro noticing that Ace had said exactly the same thing:

I've been having health troubles since right before Thanksgiving with my stomach, and I've been in and out of the ER a few times since then. recently, I've had gastropariasis, or paralysis of my stomach, and I'm practically non functional.

I know I've been checked out a while from writing and other stuff but my health has not been great for the last few years, both mentally and physically, but I'm reaching a difficult point with my guts ATM. I'm waiting on getting into a gastro for answers, but I wanted to write here bc I genuinely am unsure what is happening with my body. when I was in the ER 2 days ago, I was told my lymph nodes by my stomach were inflamed. the doctor was like "this could be because you're vomiting and sickly," but what wasn't said is this could be a sign of a larger issue too. I've been told I most likely have an ulcer, if not multiple, and even stomach cancer is on the table.

I know randomly popping out with this is a lot, but I was in the ER again today to get meds bc the vomiting is so awful and I couldn't keep my meds down.

I've mentioned that even though it's been a while, ACW is my baby and I wanted to return to things. I've never really been open about all my health probs that are keeping me away because I've been doing things like fighting for disability on top of this. I recently just faced a judge who had articles written about him for suing the SSA over LGBTQ+ and insulting people so badly during their cases that the SSA had to publicly apologize on his behalf.

it's been fun to say the least.

I just felt like now was the time to become more open about my health. admittedly, I've been going stir crazy over getting to vent about my struggles, because this has been misery. but for those who are still checking and everything... thank you. I see you. I appreciate you. I love you.

And post time skip:

Then in Alabasta, when Miss Merry Christmas laughed at Luffy's dream of becoming the pirate king Usopp told Chopper that a real man never lets his friend's dreams being laughed at:

Then after the Reverie the Marines talk about Luffy and Sabo again:

I believe that at some point in the final arc he will come to straw hats aid, not as a revolutionary army's member but because he's Luffy's big brother.
