I cannot overstate how much I love Law being the one to explain this to Kid. It’s a reminder that he knows Luffy better than anyone outside of his brothers, the Strawhats and Shanks.
Also Zoro: literally shields/defends Luffy (let's face it, it was mainly for this guy), Kid, Law, and Killer from a DEADLY combo attack from TWO EMPERORS WITHOUT A FUCKING ORDER!!!!
I know Luffy has a lot of confidence in Zoro, but I am 100% sure he's concerned when the guy does things like this. 'Cause whenever Zoro has these moments, Oda never fails to make a call-out from Luffy ("Zoro!").
I dread the day Luffy sees Zoro sacrifice his life for him and he's actually conscious and able to see it for himself.

Even now I still cannot fathom the sheer talent and soul put into episode 1015 of One Piece by Megumi Ishitani. Especially for Yamato's flashback scene. From such a tiny bit of source material, they manage to expand the world just a little broader. And the final fruit? Simply brilliant, it's stunning and magical.
Words cannot describe how incredible this episode is, or how emotional it made me. My throat is sore from crying.
Thank you Megumi Ishitani and the crew for giving us one of the single greatest episodes in all of anime. And of course, thank you Oda sensei, for writing what is, in my mind, the greatest story ever told.
