Summary
“This is where you belong,” she said behind him, in a voice so quiet he might have missed it had he not been so nervously attuned to her presence in the room. He froze, and had to swallow thickly before he could answer her in a voice that was choked nonetheless. “I know, Nami-san.”
“If you know,” she continued in that same low voice, “then why did you leave in the first place?” Sanji dropped his gaze, and made to turn back to his cooking, but she grabbed his arm and held him in place. Reluctantly, he raised his eyes back to hers. “Why did you leave us?”

Summary
It had been one name, shouted in the heat of battle, that had stuck in Nami’s head. Yonji. She had turned at the sound of it, confused. Wondering if she’d misheard through the protective earplugs. Wondering how these people could have gone through so much trouble to steal her friend just to end up getting his name wrong – but then Sanji’s brother, the green-haired one, he’d turned too. And Nami had realised there had been no mistake – that was his name. Yonji.
Sanji.
Sanji and Yonji.

A series of one-shots set during the journey from WCI to Wano, and the aftermath of the huge amount of trauma Sanji suffered at the hands of the Vinsmokes and Big Mom.

Summary
It had occurred to him at some point after they had left Wano Kuni that the Vinsmokes must have passed through nearby waters, since Whole Cake Island had been so close.
Which was why, when the Strawhats docked at the first island they spotted after leaving Wano, Sanji was so nervous he almost considered staying on the ship while the rest of the crew explored the town.
—
The Strawhats make their first stop after Wano, and begin to understand that the Vinsmoke name isn’t so easily left behind.

Summary
It was easy to forget, sometimes, that everyone in the New World was there for a reason. With how strong the Strawhats had gotten, with how strong he had gotten, the thought that they could ever be hurt, let alone defeated, crossed Zoro’s mind less and less. It was at times like these, however, when he remembered. When he couldn’t afford to forget.
Everyone in the New World was there for a reason. Everyone in the New World was there because they were powerful – powerful enough to survive the absolute insanity that came with the Grand Line. And sometimes – just sometimes – even the Strawhats were faced with a dilemma like this.
Zoro looked at his nakama, fallen apart, and wanted his captain.

The Strawhats underestimate a group of marines, and face the consequences.
