I don't think any of the Straw Hats' dreams involve returning to their hometown (wherever that may be for Sanji). Nonetheless, I would very much like that, much like our friend ReverseMountain down there. If I recall correctly though I think Oda said he wasn't going to kill off any Straw Hat member, so if my memory serves me well, we're not going to have any tearful deaths until perhaps the very end (old age? XD). There are still those main characters who are not "fortunate" enough to be Straw Hats and are therefore in danger. Ace's death would barely be any different (in acceptance) than any Straw Hat member's so we're still up for some tension so don't give your hopes up just yet.
