Summary
If the cook also thinks marimos are cute… why is it the nickname he prefers to give me?
Zoro has an existential crisis when he realizes everyone thinks he’s cute, Sanji included. Zoro is not the kind of man who would let slide such felony, so he takes action.Spoilers: Zoro knew he was declaring war by calling the cook stupid cute things in return, drawing out episodes of cathartic rage from Sanji he has always enjoyed. What he didn't know was what it would reveal about their relationship.

“Marimos are endangered?!” exclaims Chopper. He turns his head to Zoro in horror. Luffy imitates -“Nooooo! Zorooooo! Don’t disappear!” “Guys… Not that marimo,” tries Usopp
-
“I myself find marimos very cute.” “Yeah, makes you wonder how Zoro got a nickname like that. Look at him,” says Usopp, pointing at the swordsman. “Is there even an ounce of cuteness in this man?” Zoro freezes like a deer in the headlights.

Summary: Sanji explodes again, in a different way. Zoro can handle anger, but sincerity…?
-
-
“Oooh, a stinkbug! It’s washing its legs, it’s so cute!”Sanji puts his hand to his tired face. An echo at his side informs him Zoro has done the same. They glance at each other through their fingers and share a relaxed grunt.
-
“Oooh, some more cute nicknames!” says Luffy, busy losing at cards to Chopper, Robin and Nami. “Sounds like fun! I’m gonna try, hmmm… Haramaki! Tie!” Sanji and Zoro burst out laughing. Usopp, dosing explosives with Franky, looks up from his work and intervenes: “Luffy, please, I already told you that a person’s basic characteristics are not an insult.” “Still works for the love-cook’s eyebrows…” Zoro observes with a sneer. “That’s because Sanji-kun has a complex, don’t copy this insensitive man, Luffy,”
-
To Zoro’s dismay, the whole group nods in agreement, as if he too had spent his life paying compliments to the cook without realizing it. Zoro decides to put his foot in it: “Pretty eyebrows”, he growls in his best snide tone as he stares into Sanji’s eye. Sanji looks at him sideways, inhales the smoke from his cigarette, but blushes at the same time. Zoro considers he’s won the round. “Handsome swordsman.” Zoro chokes on his won round. The group bursts out laughing. “Wait, wait, my turn!” exclaims Usopp, delighted. Except that instead of designating the two rivals, the sniper points his finger at his pyromaniac colleague and shouts: “Golden cyborg!” “Aaaww, that’s too kind, Usopp!” reacts Franky, slowly pointing his huge hand at Robin. “Flower among thorns.” “Vile flatterer…” chuckles Robin, before turning to Nami. “Vampire bat!”

but Zoro always knows how to bring out aspects of Sanji that he seems to put aside, the worst like the best. Zoro, for his part, has had a revelation. In this microcosm hidden in the middle of the desert, he saw the paradise island again. As Sanji accepted his emotions, took possession of them and screamed them in his face, radiating an aura of almost frightening power, the mist in which Zoro had intentionally lost himself cleared
-
He’s had a few bizarre attempts – something about a daddy that immediately turned him off and generated a lot of questions he decided not to seek answers to – but the people who are into him aren’t cooks with romantic aspirations and mawkish catchphrases. Sanji is an exception in the dating world, he knows it very well: what the cook offers women isn’t just a night of pleasure, it’s a romantic experience, a true adventure worthy of soppy fiction, no matter how long it lasts. Most don’t believe in it or don’t take it seriously, but there’s a reason why those who do play along come out of it so radiant.

The skin on your faces is shining, like when Sanji comes back to cook for us the day after a banquet. But it’s the first time I’ve noticed it on Zoro, aha!” Sanji is flabbergasted. Only Luffy can spot this kind of cartoonish detail on his peers’ features. To think he’s always kept his sexuality to himself, because a gentleman doesn’t flaunt his conquests or mention what he does at night in civilized conversation… Zoro seems equally dumbfounded for a brief moment, then bursts out laughing in turn.
-
“What do we do?” asks Zoro. “Do we let Luffy rat us out or do we shock Franky right off the bat?” “Let’s shock him, it’s fun.” They give each other a knowing look. When it comes to joking at someone else’s expense, they share the same brain cell. “Let me see that shirt,” says Zoro, before grabbing it and tearing it off for good. The fabric falls off Sanji’s shoulders in tatters, adding to his burgeoning excitement. “It’s gonna be indecent if I take off what’s left of your clothes, come here,”- “You’re too far, come here,” agrees the swordsman.-Sanji and Zoro untangle themselves from the table, bursting out laughing.“That’s Franky for you…!”
“…to accept a situation so radically, even if it’s completely absurd!”
Franky scratches his head, a little flattered. The cupid claps sincerely above them, then disappears in a shower of pinkish glitter.
“Honestly, I’d rather not think about what I’ve just seen…” concedes the cyborg, masking the distress into which the context has put part of his brain.
