"But, if it wasn't for him, Zoro would have been killed by Morgan, Nami would still be Arlong's slave, Usopp would be fooling around in his hometown (eventually the villagers would get tired of him and kick him out, or Kuro would have killed him and Kaya), Krieg would have taken Baratie and killed Sanji and the others cooks (maybe I'm exaggerating here...), Chopper would have been eaten by Wapol, Robin would still run away from the World Government, Franky would have been sent to Impel Down and Brook would still be alone in Florian Triangle" -akiharaShizuka
