[He's exaggerating in some ways, but also - ] I'd spent most of my life running away from the other dragons, never wanting to find them, or agree to being a part of whatever prophecy had been laid out. It goes against everything that I love, everything that I wish for myself, to be part of someone else's plan.
And yet - when she came to find me, this reincarnation of the fallen King, my blood was set on fire, like it knew that she was the person I was meant to follow.
[ . . . and he just huffs a laugh.]
I chose to follow her of my own accord - but it was a reminder that hard as I try, there's something written in my blood for me to obey.
... are you trying to get me to hope for longer than I have? That's a dangerous game, Chef.
[When Jae-ha is someone who fights against fate in all things that he does - and yet this is the one thing that he wonders might be inevitable, after what he's seen, after what he's endured.
After the chills he gets when he has a dream about losing his legs.]
Of course my life has value. It's why I try to make every single moment count.
[It's why he doesn't fear death - and why he charges into things almost recklessly so long as it means that he can live with himself, should he be able to survive to the outcome.]
But you don't need to try to convince me to have hope. I'll fight until my dying breath, whenever that is.
For some reason it kept coming up and it was getting to be more of a hassle to hide it from you than I thought to just admit it.
[Jae-ha's a surprisingly open book as is - and in the case of Sanji, he's willing to talk about the other things that he feels like holding closer to the chest.]

But it hurts less than it could. Sanji regards Jae-Ha quietly, eyes assessing.]
So you're in forced servitude for a guy who might not even show up...

It was the worst day of my life.

Sanji... looks a little apologetic, like he's aware the universe fucked up on this one.
What a cruel fate for a pirate]
... Is there a chance if you fulfill this prophecy, the curse will end?

Your life has value.
[Selfishly:]
So yeah, I guess I am.

Good to hear it.
[... He'll be rooting for that happy ending, then.]
I appreciate you telling me.

Well, consider that shit settled, at least.
