Summary
“I’m more articulate than that,” he chucks back, but there’s little fire in it, most of him smothered placid with all the pieces falling back into their right places. He hadn’t realized how lonely he’d felt until everyone started speaking again, ribbing off one another with everybody’s places intact.
Really, he hadn’t realized how lonely he’d been his whole life until they’d walked into it.
Or, Sanji is still with the Straw Hats. They're still crazy. He's still lying. It's been the best three months of his entire life.
