Summary
“I used to ask Judge every day what I did to deserve this,” King thunders. “Do you know what he finally told me?!”
Sanji’s chest wracks with something dangerously close to a sob. “He said it’s because you were born!”
And despite all his grace, King stumbles –– like an angel cast out of heaven, taking his first wobbly steps on mortal ground. It’s clear he thought the question was rhetorical from the way he wavers, “How did you know that?” like he hadn’t even expected an answer, let alone the right one.
Sanji tries to respond, but he looks at King and sees a twisted science experiment, and sees––god, fuck, himself. Sees a man who spent his childhood strapped to a surgical table, and it was the closest thing he had to being held.
This is it. He has nothing left to hide. Sanji reaches a precious hand into the Pandora’s box inside his soul and rips it open, lets the ruins fly.
“Because he said the same thing to me!”
---------
In an alternate universe, King fights Sanji instead of Zoro during the Raid on Onigashima. There, they discover how true the phrase 'I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy' can really be.

“No price can be put to freedom,” agrees Hyougorou. His eyes, too, drift to Jinbe’s brand. Tai never answered his question. Aladine had, though. “Nor to the promised dawn.”
“No,” says Jinbe. “No price can.”
(Jinbe stares at the sun.)

Summary
“Stop that.” Luffy’s frown is almost comical, like he’s offended for Law on behalf of the words Law himself had spoken.
“Stop what, exactly?” Law snaps back. This is what he gets for trying to smooth things over. He should have known better. “Telling the truth? I’m a mess, Straw Hat. Lots of people are. The best I can do is not make it anyone else’s problem. So, you can stop feeling like you need to—"
“Stop talking like Ace!”
After Dressrosa, it turns out Law is not the only person who needs to sort through some things.

Summary
In their defense, they thought it was pretty obvious.
The Kingdom of Science may have maxed out their Intelligence stat; but, they rolled a 1 on Perception. Or, in other words, they might not have noticed the change in relationship between one scientist and one mentalist.
Sure, they could just tell them. But, where would be the fun in that?
