Summary
And what would mon cherie like for her bedtime story tonight, hm? A tale about the Sunshine Captain? The Tangerine Fairy or the Moss Knight?
Fish Wizard!
Tch, I should have known. Alright, budge up, let’s get comfortable here. Now then. A long, looong time ago, there was a fearsome pirate known as Red-Leg, who fought with his feet, and could smash an enemy ship clean in half with one kick! Now he was a mean old man, who thought he’d be fighting until the day he died, searching for his dream-
The All Blue!
Are you telling this story or am I?

Summary
The trip passes in a haze of pain and delirium.
At times, Sora is aware of her little girl sitting close by, playing with her hair, something Reiju hasn’t done since Judge’s modifications began in earnest the year before. Every so often, there are arms holding her down as she thrashes, gasping, crying out, begging for faceless doctors to leave her children alone. Once, and only once, does Sora drift into vague awareness of her hand being held in cold, cold fingers, a voice whispering “I’ll save them. I swear. I’m going to save all of you.”

Summary
At the very least, Shanks still being unconscious means his Voice is quiet, hardly more than a faint whisper to catch anyone’s attention. It means he isn’t trying to help, nevermind the fact he can hardly put one foot in front of the other right now, let alone move with the speed and precision it will take to successfully slip out of the Holy Land. Shamrock has been in training to become a Knight of God, to become Father’s right hand, practically all twelve years his life - a handful of paltry swordsmanship and haki lessons from uncouth pirates can hardly measure up to that, no matter what inane statements Shanks will insist upon saying out loud at the least opportune times.
This is for your own good

Summary
“If this is an attempt to attract your errant twin’s attention, I will not tolerate such foolhardiness.” Efforts to retrieve the second Figarland son ceased years ago, when Shanks himself briefly attacked Saint Garling in defense of some other whelp the Roger Pirates kept aboard their ship. Shamrock has never been given all the details, but suffice to say, his brother suitably frustrated their father to the point that the man grows cold and furious any time his renegade child is mentioned.
Which means that this discussion has moved from unstable ground to the narrowest sliver of already-cracked ice.
But.
(In the deepest corner of his heart, Shamrock has never wanted anything besides the chance to bring his brother home.)

vintage misery (think it looked better on me) by Triscribe

Summary
Zeff knows his boy.
Always knew there was more to his backstory than just the Orbit, too, even if Sanji clammed up tighter than any shellfish in the sea rather than drop a single hint.
Glaring up into a face he knows, bearing an utterly indifferent expression, being worn by some musclehead with green slicked-back hair and a fancy shiny outfit, Zeff is pretty sure he’s about to get hit with a whole lot more than any mere hint.

Summary
There is, certainly, a physical resemblance - all the stronger for someone who encountered Gol in the days before carefully groomed facial hair became his defining feature. For all that the boy is hunched forward, covered in filth and mottled bruising, grey eyes remain sharp, wary, glancing around the assembled crowd before settling on Garling himself. Correctly identifying him as the greatest power in the room, no doubt.
Any lingering doubt as to the pirate’s parentage vanishes when he opens his mouth. “Well you aren’t a marine. They don’t let folks have hair that weird.”
Horrified silence descends across the hall, swift as a guillotine.
