Til death do us 'part' - Gender neutral reader

It would be cruel to tear them apart, Even in death

With the crew in near defeat separated from one another and their Captian exhausted, For once in their lives it seems the Strawhats bit off more than they could chew.

Sanji coughed up thick red blood as he rolled onto his stomach, Bringing his hand down to hold his aching ribs. "I'll kill that bastard.." Sanji swore to himself as he struggled to stand, "Fuck where's y/n-" He thought as his eyes darted around the ruined village searching for anyone from his crew, Especially Y/N

Sanji's breath caught in his throat as he saw Y/Ns familiar body lying on the floor. His heart stopped once he noticed the crimson color staining their clothing and face. . Oh their beautiful face.

Despite his injuries, Sanji stumbled with a limp over to Y/N, That was the idea til he collapsed a few steps in with a sharp pain in his leg. "Fuck.." He muttered under his breath as he dragged himself toward his injured lover, Leaving fresh wet blood to stain the dry grass.

Y/Ns body trembled with the weight of the scars that covered it, Shallow breaths were the only thing keeping them from death's grasp. "Oh Y/N-" Sanji spoke with a shaky breath as he with bloody hands touched Y/N's bruised face.


"Sanji.." They whispered as he shifted to lay beside and comfort them with his embrace, "I'm here." Sanji spoke softly It took everything he had not to break down in tears– Yet he wanted to stay strong for Y/N's sake.

As Y/N relaxed into Sanji's arms a soft smile made its way onto their face. "Fuck where are they.."Sanji thought, but he didn't dare avert his gaze from Y/N.

Sanji winced at the pain in his hand once he brought it up to brush Y/Ns cheek, Beginning to stroke his hair. "Everything will be okay.." Sanji didn't believe it, From the looks of it help wouldn't come anytime soon– by the time it did, It may be too late.

Sanji had always been what one could consider passively suicidal, He never planned to die- Or live, Yet he still fought because of his crew. . Even as he edged closer to the line that divided life and death, He was happy. As long as Y/N was with him it didn't matter what happened now.

Sanji kissed Y/Ns cheek, Even if it was nothing but a lie he promised they would be alright. . It was only when Y/N's muscles relaxed, And their shallow breaths stopped that Sanji allowed himself to cry.





Sanji kept himself from tears as long as Y/N was alive to see it, Hot tears swelled in Sanji's eyes and fell down his cheeks as he continued to stroke Y/N's hair. "I'm so sorry" He whispered, Apologising for not being strong enough to save Y/N the pain they experienced in their final moments.

Sanji stopped fighting to catch his breath, As his vision went dark he was thankful, Thankful he could spend his final moments in the arms of his lover.

By the time the rest of the crew found Sanji & Y/N it was far too late.

Despite the instant realization they were too late, Chopper still tried to check for a pulse to no avail. He looked down in defeat as he confirmed what everybody already knew.

Luffy spoke up, Deciding they needed to give the two a proper burial, He walked over to lift Sanji's beaten body off the ground. Interrupted by Zoro's voice.

"Don't fucking touch him" He spoke loudly, Getting a bit of a surprised look from the rest of the crew. "It would be cruel to separate them even in death" Zoro's tone was softer now, Moving past Luffy despite his own injuries he managed to hold Both Sanji & Y/N together.

Tho it may be morbid, The crew kept Sanji and Y/N's bodies— Only a day passed by before Nami managed to navigate the ship into the waters of The All Blue, Luffy wanted the graves to be somewhere special.
