Crimson Chivalry: Sanji x Reader

Chapter 4: Sanji's Heart

How the hell am I hurt? (Y/n) didn't even move, Sanji thought to himself, still clutching at his open chest with one hand, the blade poked at his delicate heart. It was a miracle he wasn't dead nor dying at the moment. Still coughing up crimson and a strong desire to keep his lit cigarette clenched tightly between his pearly whites. "I followed Law's advice word for word... I don't under... understand," you heard Sanji's cry of defeat word for word much like his previous comment about the captain of the Heart Pirates, a man of whom knew next to nothing about you. Sanji really was starting intrigue your best interest.

"Oh yeah," you snickered resting your dagger wielding hand upon your hip. As if he were blessed, Sanji felt immediate relief beyond words, no longer suffering from the imaginary blade that once protruded from his chest. "I forgot that Law and Luffy made an alliance not too long ago. Please tell me what that doctor told you, I'd love to hear."

Sanji found your ability to smile in such a position sickening. "Why should I tell you?" Sanji barked in return. "You're out to kill me!"

"No," you smirked somewhat innocently. "I only accepted your challenge. A fight. You win, I join your crew. I win, I haven't decided what I want yet, but killing you has no place in this equation," Sanji knew something was up since the second you put on that sweet puppy dog face that had no place on a serial killer's rotten face. You literally just created a massacre, yet you have no interest in killing one more. Either you had a few tricks up your sleeve, or you really had no interest in killing off Sanji. If the last option really were the answer, he'd love to learn why.

Sanji gripped the hem of his dress coat sleeve, he wipes his mouth spoiling the back of his perfect midnight black coat. "I find that hard to believe," Sanji replied.

"Can't blame ya," you snickered again with a hand to your crimson lips.

"I know I'm against hurting women," Sanji lifted his leg up slowly till his knee lied snug against his open chest. The thin limb became a torch of brilliant orange flames and hazardous smoke. You coughed upon one inhale of said smoke. "But I think I need to make an exception for you..."

"Glad to hear," you licked your lips in a taunting manner, the blade of your dagger brushed up against the backside of your arm into a defensive stance, readied yourself for any and all attacks to come knowing who your opponent was. You won't deny that you were fueling the beast that lived within that blonde cook standing before you. Long have you known that he was a man who succumbs to his own chivalry, it was even a trait you could easily take from his updated Wanted Poster. You wanted to see him lose his composer and hit a woman for a change.

"Sanji looks serious about this," Nami backed away from the battlefield just a few steps, knocking into Zoro who kept Luffy at bay. The redhead watched the two stare each other down with weapons drawn and a blazing fire in their eyes.

"This is gonna get ugly real fast," Usopp whimpered with shaking knees. Chopper nodded as he did so happen to agree to an extent.

Zoro found the coward trio's foolish antics to be almost dishonorable. "I'm truly on the fence about this," Zoro admits, just to get the trio to stop being scared pussy cats.

"Huh?" Nami, Usopp, and Chopper all tilted their heads in unison.

Zoro groaned rolling his eye. Luffy tried to squeeze out of his hold, that was until Zoro caught the trick and bashed his captain over the head with his fist. "The Shitty Cook to this day has never injured a woman, but all at the same time he can't stand it when women get hurt in general. (Y/n) hurt Robin both mentally and physically over the last two years..." A frown was all that remained on Robin's face.

"This isn't going to end well..." Chopper embraced his blue backpack of medical supplies to his chest with a quivering lip and a shallow tear to his chocolate eyes. Knowing very well that someone will need his attention sooner or later.
