Sacrifice

Summary: He would die for her whether she wanted it or not.

Disclaimer: I own Jack, no one else.


"Sanji'll be fine. He'll be ok..." Nami repeated to herself. She and Robin were running to find the crew.

"Cook-san will be all right. We gotta find the crew and then we can save him." Robin tried to smile. Nami could still hear Sanji and Jack fighting. It sounded like Jack was winning...

Jack laughed cruelly as Sanji lay on the ground, coughing. The chef was badly injured, but got to his feet.

Shakily lighting another cigerette, Sanji glared at Jack. "You are gonna die, so laugh while you can, you freakin' idiot."

"Why am I going to die? YOU are." Jack stated. "Robin will die too, so you won't be alone."

Sanji growled, "I told you! Robin won't die! If I have to die, then at least I'm gonna make damn well sure you can't go after her!"


Sanji had said that so loud, it echoed though the hall, reaching the two female pirates. Robin fell to her knees, overwelmed with sadness. "Sanji does care."

Nami knelt beside her. "He loves you."

"Love?" Robin had to think about that word. As a child, she had heard that word only once. "What does 'Love' mean?"

"Love is a feeling between two people. It's what makes Sanji want to protect us at any cost." Nami explained as they started running again.

"NAMI! ROBIN!" Their captain shouted. Nami never thought she'd be so glad to hear Luffy yelling. "Where's Sanji?"

Before either of the women could answer, someone answered for them. "Right here!" The crew of the Merry Go looked up in horror at Jack. The leader of CP6 was holding Sanji by the throat as blood dripped from the chef. Sanji's eye was closed.
