User blog comment:Staw-Hat Luffy/Luffy wants the fruit WTF/@comment-5039916-20130327160215/@comment-4605926-20130327163118

I don't think it's selfish, after all, this could be his last thing to remember Ace by, even if he already got over his death. On the contrary, if someone "bad" ate it and then Luffy would have to fight that guy, it would be hard for him (emotionally obviously). This is a unique fruit because it has emotional value, don't compare it to just any devil fruit. I'm entirely sure that the only reason he's interested in it is because it was Ace's, disregarding the actual powers it would bestow upon anyone who would consume it.
