A/N: Just a little something that I wrote to help my writer's block. This story is completed and is more of a series of drabbles than anything. They're all connected though. It's a Sanji oriented fic and for now there are three chapters. It does however end in unrequited love and depending on whether people want a happy ending or not, I can write a fourth chapter. But if not I'm leaving it as is.
Warning: Unrequited love, minor angst

I've survived.
I've survived a shipwreck that also threw my life into despair.
I've survived starvation on a rock in the middle of nowhere, faced with making immoral decisions too soon for someone as young as I was.
I've survived almost killing the man who would later become my mentor and my father figure.
I've survived the cold phantom echoes of hunger in my stomach, aching when I know that it shouldn't, in the nights when I lie alone in bed.
I've survived the shitty old man's brutal training and the soreness of my own body coping.
I've survived and I will continue to do so in order to repay the old man for what he has sacrificed for me.
I survived until some idiot rubber boy and his stupid moss headed nakama burst in and interrupted my life.
I survived leaving him, the one I owe everything to, in order to pursue my dream and his.
I survived all the fights with Zoro and his begrudgingly okay sword skills.
I've survived and I will continue to survive, because it is what I do best.
