Sanji, feeling safe and fishing for love - All Barriers Down Commentary

“Did Sanji allow himself to let go around women, permitting his heart to beat and love as hard as it could, while he controlled himself around men because he knew they would want neither the bleeding of his heart nor the power of his love?”

I wanted to try a character study on Sanji with this concept: how would he be if he stopped associating men with his past struggles?

Zoro groans with a mixture of pain and thirst, but out of respect for the decision of this new Sanji, who doesn’t even pretend to struggle beneath him, who is so sure of his affection for him, he licks the red liquid oozing from the wound.

He feels the cook’s other hand press against his pale nose to stop the evidence of his arousal and can’t help but snicker. Sanji is still an idiot, deep down, and maybe…

“Chéri…”

The tone is soft, placid. Yet it is also a cry of resignation Zoro did not expect. Too preoccupied with his thirst, however, he licks a second time, feeling the empirical urge to bite erase all his concerns.

“Zoro,” the cook’s strangled voice resumes. “Did you like me better before?”

His lips caress the wound, as if to apologize for inflicting it. He resists only to respond to Sanji and because the blood is still flowing enough to satisfy him.

“Yes.”

The body beneath him tenses. Against his teeth, Zoro feels the sob Sanji is holding back.

“I’m sorry.”

They raise their eyebrows, but Sanji immediately frowns. He’s ready to defend himself if the swordsman messes up. Or to attack. Usopp knows he’s here to serve as his safeguard. Sanji reassures him, but perhaps the opposite is also somewhat true?

“What are you talking about? You don’t have to apologize for those jerks. I know you’re not like them.”

Sanji is good at reading Zoro, and sometimes they understand each other so well that they can no longer communicate with words, go too far in what they express, create tension because they don’t know how to talk about it. And why would they need to talk when they can convey everything with a glance or a growl?

However, Usopp is still impressed by the insecurities Sanji casually draws out of Zoro. He understands why Zoro hates being seen through, but for once, the swordsman doesn’t get angry – quite the opposite, in fact.

“You think?” he spits bitterly. “Is that why I told you I preferred the old you? Why I was a selfish asshole and you didn’t even resent me because you’re incapable of resenting people? Even us?!”

Zoro points at him, and Usopp understands he’s talking about men in general. He doesn’t have time to process the other, far more terrible information, because Zoro continues:

“Is that why you let me choose, and instead of telling me to fuck off like I deserved, you kissed me?!”

“Sanji. Anything else you need from me?”

The future pirate king’s tone has become serious again. His gaze is piercing. Sitting on the grass, elbows on his knees, the cook shivers. He lowers his head, but Zoro has time to see his eyes shine.

“A hug, please.”

“No, it’s fine, don’t worry about me,” lies the ghost of the former Sanji, while Zoro feels his body vibrate despite himself, as if he wanted to respond to the request.

He’s not the only one, because Nami has suddenly straightened up. The situation is clearly more serious than anything she could have imagined, and at the same time, she seems to know more than he does, just enough to look both curious and devastated.

Usopp moves closer, as if preparing to throw himself at Sanji if necessary.

Luffy lets out a small chuckle. He stands up, positions himself between Sanji’s long, spread legs, and collapses in front of him. His elastic ankles go over the powerful thighs, his arms wrap around the chest that deflates in a relieved exhalation. The cook hugs him close, Luffy responds to the embrace and doesn’t let go.

“I don’t want to force this on anyone, so I’ll understand if you’d rather not know… but given the situation, I feel like I owe this to you.”

To his surprise, instead of turning to Usopp, Sanji turns to him and adds:

“Especially you.”

“You don’t owe me anything, cook. Why would I need to know more than the others?” protests Zoro.

“For nothing, shitty swordsman! I don’t have to explain everything to you!” growls the ghost, but Zoro sees him lose his consistency when Sanji swallows, uncomfortable, and finally articulates:

“Because of Thriller Bark.”

Zoro rushes toward her, Gary harassing him in vain. With a swift movement, he grabs the handle of the silver blade between Sanji’s fingers. Usopp grimaces and shakes his hand, but he knows the wings of the pirate king are incapable of hurting each other. The cook’s precious appendages are intact.
Zoro plunges the foil into the wolf’s chest. She expires. The count takes advantage of the occasion and bites the swordsman, clinging to his back.
Sanji, hearts bursting from every pore of his skin, kicks Gary and yells:
“You leave my boyfriend alone right now!”
Another blow, then a series of vicious kicks assault the vampire lord as Sanji rants in time with his attacks:
“And why. Is everyone. Hot?! You are. Starting. To piss me off!”

The gen-AI-using antagonist, Usopp and identity - All Barriers Down Commentary

Yes, this is an anti-genAI canon-compliant One Piece fanfiction. I probably failed at making it obvious enough but well…

My main bad guy is symbolically doing the equivalent of using AI to write his stories: he has prompts, basic ideas, but instead of just getting inspiration from reality, he takes real people’s lives and personalities, their identity, and just watches the story write itself. And he has the guts to get annoyed when someone (Luffy) disturbs his plot.

In need of a bad guy

I tried to write an original bad guy with Malbec. I wanted an antagonist with powers to create the Victorian urban fantasy context, but I left myself some time to decide what said powers were. I needed to keep him hidden for a while.

Everything unlocked when I put Usopp in the crypt. I needed to occupy my main antagonist anyway, so I made him a poor 50 years old who spent the last 24 hours chasing Luffy, destructor of scenarios’ consistency. I made him use several… (read the rest by following the link)

Title: All Barriers Down
A ZoSan & SanUso Fanfiction

Text
Nami gives Sanji a wink of thanks. He melts onto his counter, his cheek resting on his folded arms.

“Aaah… Some beauties just can’t be made up…” he mutters as his cigarette emits little gray enamored hearts.

“You talking about me?” Usopp teases him, batting his eyelashes.

Sanji straightens up, staring at the sniper, crosses his hands in front of him, and exclaims in a high-pitched voice:

“Oh, I could just say the same about you! Don’t be jealous, Usopp!”

He waddles behind the counter while the sniper looks at him with increasing astonishment. He pays it no mind and realizes that instead of flirting – that’s what he’s doing, right? – he has to get to work. Especially since his captain is hungry.

“Can you help me put away the groceries? You’d be a sweetheart.”

Precision at the end: All Barriers Down is a SFW canon compliant urban fantasy adventure about accepting change, facing trauma and dealing with hurting your friends.
