Why this matters
An explicit, living-character Chekhov vow — not a subtle visual seed: Luffy states outright that Sanji’s separation is temporary and his return non-negotiable. The recruitment bond is reaffirmed as inviolable — the structural guarantee that the arc ends with Sanji back at sea. This is the same captain’s-refusal grammar tracked by Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern, here turned into an explicit forward promise.
