It was silent for a moment.
Zoro turned toward Sanji, who was looking down.

Zoro could hear him mumbling.

"Why am I so god damn weak?" Sanji said, quietly but clear.
Zoro looked at him, confused wondering if he heard him correctly.

"What?" Zoro said.

"Why am I so god damn weak." Sanji said, with a bit of a growl to it.

"..what? What are you talking about?"

"You heard me. Why am I SO. GOD. DAMN. WEAK?!" He yelled, putting his hands on his head and pulling his hair.
Zoro quickly walked over to him and knelt down.

"Where the hell is this coming from? You're not weak who told you that?" Zoro asked.

"Nobody! I just couldn't beat all those stupid bounty hunters and were JUST bounty hunters. Low life bounty hunters. Am I seriously weak enough to get kidnapped by some bounty hunters?!" He said, looking at Zoro.
He was tearing up and was sweating.

"Sanji they had drugged weapons and there were like two hundred of them."

"That doesn't change anything. I was scared. I was SCARED of those GOD DAMN BOUNTY HUNTERS." He shouted.

"Cook, of course you were scared. You had 59 darts with drugs in them shot into you, and you were tied up AND blindfolded. Any person with a sense of humanity would be scared."
Zoro said, putting his hands on Sanji's shoulders.
"Not to mention you fought off most of them. You are strong enough to handle them. But you're still human so the drugs are what affected you."

"That still doesn't change anything. I'm weak."

"Jesus Christ you stupid Cook..did you not listen when that guy said that all it takes is five darts to shoot down the pirates they catch? You had almost twelve TIMES that amount shot into you, and you were still conscious." Zoro said.

"...what..why are you doing this? Why are you talking me out of thinking that I'm weak?" Sanji asked.

"Because Sanji you're not!"

"I.." Sanji was a little surprised when he said his name.
"I don't understand. Why are you doing it though? And why are you the one that saved me?" Sanji said.

"Well because...Uhm.." Zoro didn't really know. Well he did, he just didn't want to say it.

"You hate me. Why the HELL did you come to get me?!" Sanji said.

Zoro stood up.
"I don't hate you. I came to get you because I was worried." He said.

Sanji stood up as well, but had trouble maintaining his balance. So he put his hand on the wall to hold himself up.
"Bull shit. Quit it. You've hated me ever since arlong park so don't even come at me with that crap." Sanji said.

Zoro was getting pissed off.
He grabbed Sanji's collar and pulled him closer toward him.
"I was the first person to notice you were gone. I found the broken bottles and charred wood. I was the one who made Luffy turn the ship around so we could go back and find you. I was the one who broke into the shed came to get you. I made sure you were calm before I took you back out. I carried you out and ran. I brought you safely back to the ship and you tell me that I hate you." Zoro said, very close to his face.

Sanji teared up.
"You tell me you hate me every day and then you turn around and pull this. What did you expect me to think?!" He said, as his voice started cracking.
"I'm just confused..I'm sorry." Sanji tried holding back tears but one rolled down his face anyways.
