I find it difficult to think this will develop into anything. I mean, aside from Roger and Rouge, and Rayleigh and Shakky (all characters whom we knew little to nothing about at the time of their pairing), there have been no main character couples like that. Oda even said said in regard to a barrage of Luffy X Nami questions that he would not focus on romance in the manga, as it would detract from the plot. Look at it, any time love or attraction has been suggested it's either Sanji going gaga over someone and he is too hilarious to take seriously, Hancock on one of her romantic delusions about Luffy, or it's random like Lola's marriage proposals, or it's creepy like Decken's marriage proposals. I don't see any serious romances happening. They either are for comedic effect making it blatantly obvious that it's not supposed to be serious, or it's just empty, like Decken and Lola.
