[ she agrees, quiet and solemn — it's the truth, the bitter truth she learned when she was only ten years old. ] I hope it isn't like that for you, Sonia-chan... but the world I live in is cold and cruel. There is corruption, people pursuing their own success, trampling down others on the way. Those who you should be able to rely on to help you will turn a blind eye. Sometimes, there is no one else you can trust to help you but yourself.
But as long as there are good people, people like Luffy... it's alright. When you are with your friends, when you share their conviction, when all of you work together... there's nothing the world can do to you.
