What if the whole crew knew Sanji was into men except Zoro.
Nami's gaydar is unmatched. She knew the second her eyes landed on him at the Baratie. No need to search for more.
Luffy could just...read people like this. It wasn't that hard for him to figure it out.
Ace told Luffy who told Usopp who told Chopper about the steamy moments they shared during the short time he sailed with them.
He's actually the one who told Robin. He didn't hide it, never tried to, so when the archeologist randomly asked about his love life, he said he couldn't wait to find a beautiful wife to spoil, or a husband he could teach some of his reciepes to. Even though he'd prefer a wife, of course.
Franky could tell this man swung both ways, as he had a few of those back in the Franky Family. When he asked and got confirmation, he let out one of his iconic SUUUUPPEERRRRR!! accentuated by a tap on Sanji's shoulder, which made him a little embarrassed.
Brook overheard their conversation, and it was good seeing that the youth could still be honest with itself.
And then there's Zoro. He never got the hint. Yes, he saw Sanji as more than just a woman-obsessed man, but he was still a woman-obsessed man. So to think he would even so of bat an eye the other way? Ah! He'd had a better chance of fighting with his hands first.
So he never shot his shot. What would be the point anyway? Inflate the stupid cook's ego by admiting he liked him? And give him the priviledge to reject him on top of that? Never.
It'd be an awful understatement to say he was surprised when after 3 whole years of knowing each others, and almost the same amount of time of pining for the cook, he found out he liked boys.
This in the least dramatic way ever, like Sanji telling someone else how some guys he saw on an island while grocery shopping was just his type. Zoro thought he heard it badly, until the cook when on to describe the guy. Oh. It was a guy indeed, and the blond was well aware of it.
Zoro was so stunned by the revelation that he didn't even pick up on the fact that the description sounded oddly similar to him. Usopp, who was the one Sanji was talking to, noticed him, and was really thankful the swordman didn't hear the "Even tho a touch of green was missing" at the end of his monologue.
With how red he already was, the sharpshooter had no doubt this green nakama would have just combusted on the spot.
