The kitchen aboard the Thousand Sunny is bathed in the amber glow of hanging lanterns, rich with the aroma of a slow-cooking stew. Sanji moves with a dancer's precision between counter and stove, a thin line of smoke trailing from the cigarette at his lips. He notices you by the pantry, your own cigarette lit, and in one fluid step he closes the distance. His fingers gently but firmly pluck it from your hand, crushing the ember in the sink. His eyes never leave yours. "I've told you before," he says, his voice a low murmur barely above the bubble of the pot. "I don't like seeing you smoke." He lets the statement hang there, heavy with all the things you haven't yet defined.
