— The All Blue will always be doubted by many. But no answer lies in words, only in the sea. When the time comes, sail for the Grand Line.

Zeff might not have had a lot of screen time, but he left an impact! What're your headcanons for the man?

Ooohhhh Zeff! I can't not like Zeff. He's big, he's strong, he CAN be scary- but he chooses not too when it matters most.

Zeff was and is still very popular with the ladies—but he has a certain gruff finesse that Sanji doesn't. Mostly, Zeff has the life experience to know when to have a gentle hand and a bit of vulnerability when flirting. He’s a softer flirt. He can say the same outlandish things Sanji does but with the tone and social context to have it land sensually, respectfully, and sincerely. (Sanji will get there with time)

Zeff 💯 gave Sanji the best (worst) sex talk with very creative food metaphors. Zeff was embarrassed, Sanji was confused, and it is only years later when Sanji falls in love for the first time that he suddenly realizes that wasn't a recipe for food but for how to treat a woman right when you really like her. (Maybe one day I'll write it or do a birds and the bees head cannons post for a few characters who definitely got unconventional words of wisdom)

He fiddles with his mustache when nervous.

I think Zeff regrets never settling down and having a family of his own prior to adopting Sanji. I think that when he did adopt Sanji and opened the Baratie it gave him the opportunity to finally feel that dream realized, never really having thought he wanted it that badly or that it was even something he was allowed to want/have/deserve.

Expanding on that---he wants Sanji to settle down and bring him grandkids one day to spoil. He probably has sappy little daydreams about spoiling grandkids and teasing Sanji about parenthood that are exceptionally domestic...but he'll never tell because he's a gruff and tough man after all!

Can you imagine him spoiling a granddaughter and braiding her hair as she braids his beard? Here let me help you imagine:

If Sanji is meant to be a girl dad then Zeff was MADE to be a girl Grandpa.

slight AU I came up with, where Mihawk meets Zoro (& Perona) at a VERY early age- leading to Zoro and Sanji being something like childhood friends.

Helloooo.

So this is going to be oddly specific, so pleasssse bear with me.

Sanji x Platonic!mer

Sanji and Zeff had found/rescued a very young mermaid, and ever since, theyve done their best to try and raise her near the Baratie (shes not one of the mermaids that can go between legs and tail). Sanji always goes down to the docks by the Baratie, visiting her before/after closing, bringing her food, talking with her, etc. In return, she brings him and Zeff ingredients from the sea. Shes 14 -15ish now, and still quite curious, but not bubbly.

Could I have a oneshot about them? Ill list a couple prompts in case you get stuck, but do whatever you want!

Just what a normal day looks like for them

The conversation he has with her when he decides he is going to join the Strawhats

Thank you, but no pressure to write this one if youre uncomfortable or dont want to!

Have a good day <3

Fintastic Begginings Ft Sanji and Zeff

A/N Okay first of all sorry this aint’t really the greatest work, I think it’s jumping all over the place with timeskips not done correctly but hey! Just like promised I finished it 👊🏼

Reader here is replaced by Dokucha which stabds for reader in japanese for the enjoyment of both reader and oc character readers.

The Baratie sailed on, the vessel gently riding the waves of the East Blue. It was a tranquil day, perfect for smooth sailing. The people aboard the ship could agree as gentle chatter and laughter rang around the dining halls, with the harmonic sounds of chopping and sizzling food echoed in the kitchen. Yes, everything was tranquil. Everyone was enjoying such a day—except one blond boy, it seemed.

“Ugh! That old man doesn’t know what he’s talking about!” The child yelled as he bolted out the door, slamming it behind him as he stomped his way to the deck.

“Always the same boorish recipes! He’s a damn caveman!” He groaned out, kicking at a small piece of debris that had fallen on the deck, following its path as it rolled down the platform and into the sea; it wasn’t this that took his attention, however, as hanging into the pier of the boat was a smaller child, face masked in pain as she struggled to hold on.

“H-Hey!” he cried, running towards the girl, dropping to the ground as he pulled her to the deck. His words escaped him as, rather than legs coming out of the water; a large tail followed as he pulled her out.

“I-It hurts,” she cried, gesturing to her tail. At this, Sanji broke out from his trance at her cries and took in the sight of her tail or what was left of it. Alarmed at the situation and fearing for her life, he took no time to lift her into his arms, hauling her into the baratie’s dining room as he cried for help.

The next hour passed in a blur in his young mind. Struggling to piece in what had just happened, he could only recall the sight of the old man running to meet his pleas for help, taking the girl into his own arms as he ran into the kitchen. Sanji hurried after him. He placed the girl on one of the counters, and the pirate tended to her until she was stabilized.

“What happened to her?” Sanji questioned, looking up at her

“Fish Rot,” Zeff muttered as he applied a mixture of herbs and ingredients to her shredded fins.

“What are you putting on her?”

“An old sailer’s remedy for infections out at sea, the honey and garlic in it will help her fight the bacterial infection that’s causing her fins to erode. The Oregano-” he started putting aside the concoction he had prepared as he placed his hand on the girl’s face, frowning at the heat emitting from it.

“You put Oregano on her?! What is wrong with you?!”

“What are you on about?” the chef growled, annoyed at the sudden hollering coming from the ten-year-old

“The oregano will strengthen her immune system and allow her to fight it off”

"It’s for savages. How could you use it on her?!” he cried, horrified.

“Shut up and go do something useful! Empty one of the tanks in the kitchen,” he yelled, sending Sanji flying out of the room with a swift kick.

Dokucha groaned, opening her eyes only to shut them again as the light overwhelmed her eyes, blinking to clear her vision, her confusion growing as she pushed herself to the top of the aquarium, head peaking out of the tank.

“You’re awake!” A voice cut in; looking down, she easily found the source to be coming from a blond boy who sent her a grin that she mirrored with her own smile

“Where am I?” she questioned as she looked around in awe at the bustling kitchen.

“You’re in the Baratie!”

“What’s a Baratie?”

"it's a restauraunt!"

“You’re going to cook me?!” She wailed terrified

“NO!”

It had been a few months since those events had occurred; during that time due to the state of her tail she was unable to hold herself in the water much less swim against the strong currents of the sea, and had to remain on the aquarium that Zeff had provided to her; despite the small size of her temporary home, she didn't mind as the staff aboard the ship constantly kept her company.

She never had a dull moment with Sanji; he constantly kept her entertained for hours on end as he talked to her about anything and everything he could come up with, usually his ideas on new recipes or the repulsion he felt towards some existing dishes. Although the chef would deny it and scratch it off as having to work near that area, Zeff also kept her company, watching out for her her and ensuring her conditioned did not worsen. Despite this, it did not make her eventual return to sea any less exciting, jumping over the waves in glee as she could finally use her tail again. She remembered the Captain’s grumbling of ‘Do what you want’ when she stubbornly insisted on following the Baratie.

“What is that?” Dokucha questioned, as her crossed arms lay on the platform of the Baratie, her head placed lazily above them

“Oh, it’s my notebook. I’m trying to make a new recipe, but I don’t think I will be able to find the ingredients any time soon,” he sighed, sitting next to the mermaid, his feet absentmindedly kicking the water beneath him.

"What are you missing?” She called, trying to glance at the paper on his hands

“It’s a type of algae,” he replied as he flipped the paper around, showing the mermaid a rough sketch of said ingredient.

“Oh! That’s sea truffles!” She beamed as she dived back into the water, ignoring Sanji's confused shouts as she disappeared beneath the water.

“She must have gone exploring...” Sanji muttered, preparing himself to retire for the day as his waiting had reached the hour mark, only to let out a small squeak in surprise as Dokucha shot out from the water

“I’m Sorry! I didn’t know how much you needed, and I wanted to get enough for you.” She apologized as she shoved a small bundle of wiry bushes into the hands of a still-stunned Sanji.

“Y-You found it?” He gaped, glancing from the algae to the nodding girl

“I can finally finish the recipe..” he called as an excited smile broke on his face.

“Ne, can I try it then? Your food is always so yummy, Sanji-nii!” She gleamed with a mouth-watering grin as she thought back on all the past recipes he had allowed her to taste.

“Yeah! You will be the first one to taste it!”

“Promise?” she asked, extending her pinky finger to him, which he happily wrapped around his own

“Promise!”

“You came back! And you brought it!” She cheered, watching as Sanji jogged his way to her, a small dish on his hands as he crouched next to her

“I promised I would!” he called with a laugh, offering the dish to her, watching as she happily dug in, a squeal escaping her as the taste settled on her tongue.

“It’s so yummy!!!” she exclaimed as she made quick work of the dish, a pleased look on her face.

"Thank you Sanji-nii!" She yelled, wrapping her smaller hands around his neck in a sudden show of affection.

“W-Wait, Dokuch-” He started only to stop as the sudden embrace caused him to lose his footing, falling face-first into the water, sputtering and gasping as he righted himself.

“Ah, sorry,” she called, letting out a giggle, quickly growing into a cackle; Sanji following short after

“I couldn't do it without you; the algae are pretty rare, so I was about to toss the recipe.” He grinned as he, too, beamed in excitement

“Here you are, little eggplant, slacking off,” Zeff’s gruff voice called as he made his way to the two.

“What did you say, old man?!” Sanji piped up, annoyance quickly feeling him

“Has the water clogged your ears?” The man called with a frown

“Come at me then, you old fart!”

“Don’t Fight!” Dokucha boomed, using her power to send a splash to both men in an attempt to halt the growing argument between the two

“I don’t like it when you two fight,” she muttered nervously as she caught the glare of the head chef

“S-Sorry, Dad,” She apologized, tilting her head confused as the man paused at her words

“Dad?” she called concerned.

“You’re on berthing duty for a week,” he ordered. Although his words had a bite to them, a watchful eye could have detected the softening in his tone and stance after the young girl’s words.

What do you think? I’m not sure about it

Yet another WIP.

This one takes place when Sanji has been with Zeff for a year.

An undercover marine comes into the Baratie and recognizes Zeff immediately. He sees Sanji and assumes he's his kid.

He corners Sanji and says that he knows about Zeff and that if Sanji doesn't help him out, he'll turn Zeff in to his higher ups.

He's there following a ship of child traffickers who docked at the Baratie. They've had their eye on Sanji.

Every time this Marine tries to follow them to their base, they lose him at the last minute. So he asks Sanji to let them take him and gives him a small transponder snail to contact him with the base's location.

Sanji doesn't have much of a choice so he goes asking with it.

Zeff finds out he's missing almost as soon as the other ship departs and is kicking himself for not keeping a closer eye on the kid. They weigh anchor and start to follow when Mr. Marine tries to leverage Zeff's past against him so he doesn't overtake the slavers.

Zeff refuses but the other ship is fast and the Baratie wasn't built for speed. It takes four days to catch up to them.

They expect to find huddled masses, terrified and hurting, but instead, Sanji is standing over a bunch of unconscious bodies with ten or twelve kids hiding behind him.

Sanji takes the lead in helping the other kids and getting them fed something that won't hurt their stomachs. He swears that they're safe there, going as far as yelling at Patti to prove that even the biggest guy in the ship hadn't ever hurt him, even when Sanji insulted him.

And Sanji is ticked. He goes on a little rant about how that was the most pathetic excuse for a dungeon he'd ever seen. The cells were wooden and they used rope for restraints and where were the cuffs you morons!?

All of which make the chefs pretty concerned.

Mr. Marine promises to get the kids somewhere safe and to report that red leg Zeff really was dead. This is the first time they find out about Sanji's deal with the guy. Zeff makes sure to tell him that the only reason he's leaving with his skull intact is because Sanji would notice a body in the water.

Hurt comfort while Sanji deals with nightmares and general jumpiness from the bad memories the whole thing brought up.
