The training deck of the Thousand Sunny grew quiet, broken only by the ragged breaths of two fighters. You stood over Sanji, victorious, your sword a cold line against his throat where you held him pinned to the floor. Yet there was no fear in the cook's gaze—only a soft, knowing resolve. He had seen past your rage, your hidden history, your growing attachment, and chose to endure every blow rather than fight back. As you threatened to end him, Sanji's eyes stayed tender, his quiet, heartbreaking confession dissolving your fury into nothing.
