Missing Brother

It never ceases to surprise me how self-destructive Luffy is. I mean, surprise isn't the best word to describe the feeling, but I'm always a little taken aback by it. It shows even in minor situations, such as when Dorry trapped Luffy under that gigantic skull so he wouldn't interfere with his fight with Broggy. He slammed his head on the floor several times because he needed to get out and do something but was helpless. In fact, slamming his head like that seems to be the first instinct after something happens that causes desperation, like in Amazon Lily right after finding out Ace died or when the entire crew disappeared in front of his eyes in Sabaody. He will literally self-destruct to manage whatever he needs to do. Getting Nami and Sanji to the top of a 5 thousand meter tall mountain to get medical assistance while bare foot and bare handed, with only shorts and a no sleeve top, surrounded by snow and wind. Giving away years of his life to save Ace. Trying to literally rip off his arms in Whole Cake Island because he cannot lose someone else.
