Some days, he's a warrior. Some days, he's a broken mess. But every day, Sanji stands. He fights. He tries. And for two long years, that's all he's done.
Now, the Straw Hat crew has reunited, but the Sanji who stands before them is different-stronger, more powerful, and fiercely protective. He stands with unwavering confidence, the same fire in his eyes, but now there's an added layer of intensity.A silence that wasn't there before. And wrapped in his arms, a small child, swaddled in a fluffy blanket, holds the crew's attention as much as Sanji's guarded behavior.
He is ready to protect them all, at any cost, yet something deeper is hidden beneath the surface.
Zoro watches him intently, his heart heavy with unasked questions. The man he loves is undeniably stronger, but Zoro knows that even the strongest hearts need to be understood. And though Sanji remains silent, Zoro is determined to be the one who helps him face the darkness he's kept locked away.
Some stories end without goodbyes. But for the Straw Hats, this isn't the end-it's just the beginning .
