A/N: Alright so here's my super short drabble about my boy Sanji, it has been quite some time since I wrote something so I might be a little rusty,
Sanji sat on the floor of the upper deck, smoke lit in mouth.
He was by himself, his crew were visiting the island they docked at, he had gotten back before them after he stocked up the kitchen, he was going to make Namis' favourite orange dessert with vanilla cream tomorrow night, but for now, if he was honest with himself, he felt too drained to stand up, so there he sat, gazing upon the sunset sky, he let his mind wonder.
'I will find the All blue! Where every kind of fish swims! It's my dream!'
His younger self cries rung in his ears, he sounded so hopeful even to his own ears, how wide eyed and young, he still believed in his dream, that he could achieve it along with his crew, of course he knew he could find it! The place every cook dreams of!
But...
But sometimes doubt crept in, sometimes it was too much and he dove into the not so happy thoughts,
What is the point? It doesn't matter anyway, is it even real? My whole lifes' dream is built on fantisy, and even if it is, how will I, a nobody from nowhere, find it?
I should just give up.
He sighed and lay down, he shouldn't think this, but in those quiet moments he couldn't help but ponder about failure, if he was destined to be one.
Maybe father was right.
The wind blew on his hair, his half lided eyes still scanning the horizone, he turned his face and looked around The Thousand Sunny, his home,
My Nakama.
His Nakama had dreams too, dreams they would never give up, he thought about how they would rather die then give up what they hold dear, he thought about how they fight, fight till their last breath to do what they think is right, to go after thier hearts desires, to accomplish what they believed in no matter what anyone said.
He then thought about his captain, his damn captain, and the stubbornness that shinned since the first time they met, the never ending nagging to join his crew, the confedence that radiates off him in battle, he thought about how he never stops helping, how he helped him.
His captain.
The future pirate king.
He smiled.
"OI! SANJI!" Luffys cry rang across the railing, snapping him back into reality.
The sky had darkened, showing that indeed time has slipped away, Had he really sat there all evening?
"SANJIIIII! WE BROUGHT MORE MEAT! IM HUNGRY! SANJI!"
He sat up from his position, his Nakama finally abording the Sunny, Sanji faced them as they approached.
They were smiling and laughing, full of hope, determination and love, all who have been too much yet still have the brightest smiles, how these people, brought together from the most unusual circumstances, with a rainbow of personalities, bound together by adventures lived together, became his family, his true family.
"More meat? We already have so much."
"But Sanji, there never is too much meat!"Luffy whined.
Sanji huffed a laugh, and looked towards his Nakama, chattering happily, he felt himself renewed, his soul burning bright.
With his crew on his side hope shone strong, with their smiles and laughter, they would makes their dreams come true.
The All Blue is out there, I can feel it.
