@fightersdie liked for a plotted starter!
It was easy to say that the whole situation at Whole Cake Island was nothing, but a disaster from the beginning. Sanji never thought that this was how he was going to reunite with the family that he had run away from, a family that he never wanted to return to. A time that was filled with nothing, but suffering moments from him. All because he was different, all because he was considered a failure by his father and brothers. It was only Reiju who treated him right during the time that he was there.
The only one who continued to treat him without throwing punches or kicks in his direction. The only one who never threw harsh words in his direction despite not doing anything to stop their brothers. Reiju was the only one that Sanji didn't hold a grudge against, there was no reason for him to.
The truth eventually came out about the plan that was created by Big Mom and the daughter who was going to play apart of it. A plan to kill Sanji and the family that he was born into for the sake of the power that lingered in the hands of his father. A power that Sanji wanted nothing to do with, he wanted nothing to do with the Vinsmokes or Germa in general. He just wanted to return to the pirate ship that was his home, to return to the crew that quickly became his family.
He didn't want to be here. Despite the tough battle that appeared in front of them, they were able to escape leaving behind the one place that Sanji never wanted to set foot in again. He was not going to return here. His friends that came to Whole Cake for the sake of his rescue where thrilled to have him aboard the Thousand Sunny once again, they had their cook back.
Sanji could be himself again, Sanji could continue to be the cook for this reckless crew of misfits.
The crew had given him the chance to actually sleep properly despite his normal sleep schedule, one that Sanji hadn't been following the last few days. All of them were exhausted though, the exhaustion was mentally and physically especially for him.
It was Luffy who came barging into the room that he was sleeping in who didn't hesitate to drag him out onto the deck. Who he saw caused him to stop in his tracks though
