Summary
It’s on one such sunny afternoon that Sanji finds himself sitting at the base of a large tree, enjoying the warm temperatures while simultaneously shaded by its leafy branches. It’s peaceful out here, so much so that he can almost pretend he’s not a patient in a hospital who has no real plan for what he’s going to do next.
He flinches as that thought occurs to him, his shoulders already hunching protectively up around his ears. At the same time, completely without his permission, his hands start to bury themselves in his hair, tugging at the strands until they hurt.
“Stop it,” he tells himself sternly, rocking slightly back and forth. “Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. You’re fine. Everything’s going to be fine. There’s nothing to worry about here. Germa’s done, the rock’s done, and you made it through both. You’ll - ”
“What’cha doin’?”

“I’m making another vow.” He says in a voice like iron.
“Wh - ?” Sanji starts, but Zoro shakes his head.
“I’m making another vow,” he repeats. “It’s going to be just as important as the one I made to Kuina, and I’ll hold it for as long as I live.”
Then he stands. Still without letting go of Sanji’s hand, he climbs slowly to his feet and rotates until they’re facing each other. His free hand curves around Wado’s hilt, and his eyes bore into Sanji’s, lit by a fire that both of them are too young to put words to.
“Your dad is never going to hurt you again.” He says firmly. “I don’t care how scary or strong he is,” he adds when Sanji chokes. “I’m going to be scarier and stronger, and if he ever comes for you I’ll deal with him.”

“There, you see?” Placing a hand on Zoro’s chest, Sanji pins him with a look. “It’s over, Marimo. Let the old bastard do what he thinks he has to to save face, and the rest of us can get out of here and back to the Sunny.”
“Fine.” Zoro gives Judge one last furious glare before letting his shoulders relax. “Only because it’s you asking though. And if he ever puts a single toe out of line - ”
“Then you can keep that vow,” Sanji promises. “And his head is yours.”
He can’t lie - the sound of Judge audibly swallowing in response to this proclamation is music to his ears.

Guess who’s back on their bullshit?! It’s me! I have come back to my favorite One Piece author like a dog returns to the ruins of a family home! I love this author so fucking much, guys, you don’t understand. Also, this was just such a great look at a childhood friends fic. They are so fucking weird about each other and I love it.
