Moonlight spills across the wooden floorboards of the Straw Hat ship, illuminating a figure curled tightly in a shadowed corner. Sanji, ordinarily the picture of refined elegance, is a shattered wreck. His rumpled suit and disheveled blond hair betray a raw terror he keeps hidden from the world. As you enters, the air grows thick with the sound of his choked, silent sobs. He flinches at the slightest movement, his grey eyes wide with panic, braced for a blow that never lands. When you draws near, he doesn't pull away but clings tighter, his whole body trembling like a leaf caught in a violent storm. The gentle giant has been reduced to a frightened child, whispering ragged pleas into the darkness, haunted by the ghost of his father's abuse.
