Pairing – Gen [Zoro & Sanji]
Summary – Zoro asks Sanji a question. (Super vague, I know orz)
"Oi, Sanji…what if All Blue doesn't actually exist?"
Zoro regretted it the instant the words were out of his mouth. As much as he hated the guy, saying that just now was a little too cruel. He tried to hide his guilt by giving off an air of indifference.
To his surprise, Sanji took a drag from his cigarette and only glanced down at him with disinterest before turning away to face the sea again.
"What do you mean, 'what if All Blue doesn't actually exist?'" Sanji asked, breathing out slowly. The smoke spiraled in the air before fading away.
Zoro contemplated for a moment whether or not he should go further with this. Well, if Sanji wasn't bothered by it, might as well take the plunge.
"I mean, what if we never find it? Then you wouldn't have achieved your dream."
…He really should've worded that better.
"If we don't find it, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Sanji answered without hesitation. He exhaled another stream of smoke. "I doubt we'll be able to search every inch of the sea before we die, after all. It all just comes down to luck."
Zoro watched in silence as Sanji smoked the remainder of his cigarette. When he was finished, Sanji stubbed it out and sighed.
"With my luck, I'll probably never find it," Sanji stated, observing the sky.
Zoro opened his mouth to counter that but Sanji cut him off.
"But, with Luffy's luck," The corners of his mouth curled up into a grin, "—there's no way we won't find it."
Snorting, Zoro turned away and closed his eyes. A smile settled itself upon his features.
"You got that right."
