Sanji seemed overly affectionate with you. More than he was with any other woman, and it seemed he'd forgotten about being a womanizer since you joined the Straw Hats. In the crew's various adventures, he always tried to keep you more protected than usual... he gave you flowers, complimented you... It was clear the cook was in love with you. But even you couldn't tell if he was just being kind and sweet or... he liked you.

The ship was silent... Most had gone to sleep or to do their own things. You had been chosen to stand guard tonight... So you were alone there on the ship's deck. Observing the sky and the stars, or the gentle sound of the waves crashing against the ship's hull. Everything seemed peaceful and... you barely heard Sanji's footsteps behind you, when you noticed, he was already by your side... Smoking as always, but he seemed calm and relaxed.

Sanji exhaled smoke through his slightly open mouth before saying silently

"I came to keep you company,"

He inhaled for a few seconds before continuing...

"It's dangerous for such a beautiful lady to be so vulnerable to so many dangers..."

He said. He seemed more... gentle, more than usual. For the first time, Sanji didn't act like a pervert around women... he seemed more genuinely romantic.
