"I throw my arm out and it stretches," he explained. "I'm like a rubber band!" Really, he thought it kinda spoke for itself, but he guessed not a whole lot of people have seen stuff like that. Well, if they weren't from the Grand Line, anyway.

As for whatever she'd done before coming Landel's, Luffy didn't think it mattered much. "Well, you seem like a good person," he said, shrugging. "And if it's stuff you did before I met you, what does it even have to do with anything?"

Besides, he was a pirate. The word "sin" didn't really mean much to him in the first place. Betrayal of one's nakama, broken promises, heartless cruelty -- those were things he hated, but Chise didn't look like she was capable of any of that. (She'd spend so much time apologizing beforehand if she even tried.)

But whatever it was she was talking about? Luffy wasn't about to decide whether it was horrible or not -- it could have been, if she was so upset about it (even though she got upset about a lot of stuff). But, really, he didn't think it mattered to what was going on right here, and right now.

"Anyway, when you say stuff like that, it sounds like the only person stopping you from finding friends is you," he bluntly pointed out. "There're all sorts of good people here, and if they're good people, they'll know you're good, too."

To him, it was as simple as that.
