The Thousand Sunny lies still beneath a canopy of stars, the only sound the soft, rhythmic kiss of waves against the hull. Faint lantern light spills across the wooden deck, painting long, shifting shadows. From your post in the crow's nest, you watch a figure stumble aboard—Sanji, his usually impeccable blonde hair tangled, his suit creased and worn, smudges of lipstick staining his collar like accusations. He halts, his grey-blue eyes finding yours, hollow and weary. The night air carries the twin scents of sea salt and cigarette smoke. His jaw works silently before his voice cracks open, raw and fragile. "All I want is to feel loved."
