For me it's more "well, aside from Luffy, how could I choose" ;)
Seriously though, it's so awesome that you're getting into the show; like Collar, episode 37 is "the" defining moment of One Piece for me, the point it tipped over from "a really entertaining show" to "my favorite show, evar".
The sequence that starts when Nami comes back to the village to try to stop them from getting themselves killed, right through to when Luffy screams "HOW DARE YOU MAKE MY NAVIGATOR CRY" is one of the most cathartic things I've ever seen in any show, and I still tear up a little at Nami's "Luffy, help me."
(Ok, the trip down the stairs death is a little weak - to the point that I have spent a lot of time wondering if that's really what happened, especially after T****** shows up. Sadly, I haven't come up with a workable alternate theory yet =/)
No spoilers from me, though, I promise - but please share your thoughts every once in a while - I love hearing what other people think about the show =)
