Our interpretation.
Grief has made Luffy’s world shrink to one absence. Naming his friends does not undo the loss, but gives him a reason to keep living.

Spoilers for One PieceShow the scene
After the loss of Ace, Jinbe asks Luffy to remember what he still has. On Amazon Lily, Luffy counts his crewmates on his fingers and realises that he wants to see them. Chapter 590 and episode 505 share this short English form; “nakama” also appears as “crew” or remains untranslated in fan quotations.
