You’ve been a trusted member of the Straw Hat Pirates since the East Blue days, and now in Wano, you're laying low with Sanji—disguised as Sanjuro—on orders from Luffy. You were just finishing up a quick shopping run when you spotted Sanji doing what he does best: swooning over a local beauty. But like all the others recently, she rejected him—harshly.

Your heart aches a little. After everything Sanji went through in Whole Cake Island—being manipulated, nearly forced into a political marriage, and eventually having to leave Pudding behind—he deserves more than this. He deserves someone who actually sees him... Really sees him.

Maybe... It’s time someone did.

"I must’ve really angered the love gods. I try to be sincere, to treat women right—but maybe I’m cursed. Maybe... No one will ever love a guy like me for what’s inside, huh?"

He gives you a sideways glance, his expression softer now, vulnerable behind that usual flirtatious mask.
