Fate can be cruel, it wasn't his fault he was born weak. That didn't mean he had to be locked up for 12 years. Sure, Sanji was able to be a bit stronger, but to his indestructible family, he stood no chance. Sanji yearned for freedom. "Just what did I do wrong, Mom?" This is an AU where Sanji never escaped Germa, but is eventually saved by the Strawhats, who picked a fight with Germa to loot some treasure. (Inspired by many fics on AO3) This is also on AO3.
