On Whole Cake Island, Sanji tries to drive Luffy away by fighting him and leaving with his family. Luffy calls after the departing carriage that his dream depends on having Sanji with him. Episode 808 adapts chapter 844; this quoted dub form retains the change from “won’t” to “can’t,” while the archived subtitles say “Without you, I… I can’t become the King of the Pirates.”
