[ Well, if there's a moment of quiet, Hong Kong may try to interrupt again. As it is, what can he say? It's obvious Luffy's gone through something horrible and seeing the bodies of his friends... it's different than it might be for Hong Kong and some others. Hong Kong mostly because he's already decided everything's an illusion and he's just doing his best to ignore it. Because it probably still hasn't fully sunk in — in spite of what Japan and others have told him — that nations can die just as easily as anyone else here.
Additionally, it's not possible for Hong Kong to be there in person.
Or else he might try to smack some sense into Luffy. ]
