Sanji has never been that violent, at least not like Zoro and Luffy but this showed how much of a violent person he could be. This made him want to kill them. He didn't expect this, maybe bullying but not this.

A group of four guys raping Zoro. One held him down as he covered his mouth, the other two holding his arms down and the last one trying to hold his legs still. They had gotten Zoro's shirt slid up to expose his chest, and pants down, hanging on one ankle. One of his shoes missing. There was enough light coming from the small dim light above the alley door of the store down further in the alley. It wasn't a lot but it's enough to know what they were doing to Zoro and he did not like it. Sanji got closer and the guy at Zoro's legs did something because Zoro turned his head to the side to scream only for it to be muffled by someone's hand. A hand he wants to break.

Sanji steps behind the one guy, the others still not paying attention. Zoro seems to have seen him but looks afraid so he closes his eyes. He didn't like that look on Zoro, what did they do that Zoro isn't beating them up. Sanji calms himself, nothing good would come from letting go and killing them. That would be letting them off too easy, they need to be punished and suffer. He reaches in his pocket for another cigarette, his last one long gone. Pops that in his mouth then takes out his light. The flicking seems to have gotten their attention. They look at him and the young chef can tell that they were from his school, their school, but they weren't from the same club. At least from what he knows. Sanji blows the smoke in the guys face, frowning at him. Without thinking about what happens next, Sanji's foot kicked the man in the face. His legs seem to have a mind of their own, who would have thought. Zoro's eyebrows furrowed in pain as he let out painful groan. And Sanji looked closer to see why, the bastard was in him. Again, the young chef couldn't control himself and went up to the guy, he held his cheek, on the verge of tears. He didn't know true pain not yet at least. Sanji knew is was a low blow but he didn't give one shit. He foot landed on top of his unclothed dick. Sanji axe-kicked him there hoping his dick would break. He let out a howl of a scream.

He turns to face the other three. They haven't let Zoro go, which he thought they would by now. Sanji takes the cigarette out of his mouth blowing it in the wind. "Well, are you going to let him go?" Sanji asks, not nicely, his voice deeper than he's ever known it to. He is royally pissed.

"Bastard." One said as he stood up. Then the other two followed.

"We'll teach you a lesson." Another one says. Sanji gave a sadistic smirk, very unlike him, more like Zoro.

"Bring it." He said. He got into his stance and motioned for them to come. He didn't care anymore, he wants to teach them all a lesson.

They didn't put up much of a fight. It's like they've never been in one. Sanji knew he was going to pay for kicking them in the dick but he couldn't stop himself when he saw that all of them had their pants unzipped. He made sure they were alive but in pain, horrible pain. He turned to see Zoro had not moved one inch. He still had his eyes close. That confused him. He went to help Zoro get up but Zoro looked at him like he was a monster. "Marimo, we need to get you to a hospital." Sanji says worried evident in his voice. He saw Zoro shake his head but he relaxed a little. "Then let's get you home and clean." Sanji says trying to help Zoro back in his clothes.

He could hear Zoro take deep, shaky breaths the whole time. Zoro looked up at Sanji then back down. When Sanji first appeared he thought he was someone else, someone with those guys, a friend of theirs, but after hearing his nickname he calmed down a little. He still didn't know if he could trust Sanji but at the moment he didn't want to think about anything, he tried to distract himself from crying. Not in front of Sanji. He didn't want to show him anymore embarrassing sides. The cook has seen too many at this point.

Sanji stands up when Zoro is done but Zoro just stays sitting down in this dirty alley. "Marimo?" Sanji stared at him. Zoro looks away, didn't need to, the blonde can't really see his face clearly in the lighting, Zoro's back is facing the only light source in the ally.

"I can't walk." Zoro says, he was going to cry. Sanji knew it. Sanji turns and squats down.

"Then I'll give you piggyback ride home." There was silent so he turned around to look at the marimo. Zoro moved to grab something then tried his best to get on Sanji's back. His movement obviously nervous. With the way Zoro's fingers trembled, he knew Zoro didn't want to do this or he was still shaken up about what happened. When Zoro was holding onto Sanji the best he could Sanji grabbed Zoro's legs and stood up. Zoro was surprised by the sudden movement so he held onto Sanji tightly so he wouldn't fall on his already hurting ass. After walking for a while Sanji decided to say it. He had gotten use to the looks that people were giving him as he carried Zoro on his back. "It's ok to cry. I know you want to." He says.

"But-"

"It alright. I wont make fun of you, I don't think I can, and I wouldn't make fun of you for crying after what happened, plus it's not good to hold it in. Everyone cries Zoro. You deserve to after this." With that Zoro couldn't hold back anymore. He let it out. It made Sanji also want to cry, he never knew Zoro could cry and it broke his heart to hear. Zoro letting out sob after sob, his sniffling to try to stop but it only ended with more sobbing.

"Why?" Zoro asked, in between a quick break before he start crying again, his voice cracking. "Why are you so nice?"

"I'm not lying about like you Zoro. I couldn't help but think about you these three days I didn't see you. I know it won't be easy for you to believe after what you went through but I'm willing to wait it out until you finally trust me." Sanji doesn't know how much of that the marimo actually heard but he must have hears most of it because he felt Zoro hold onto him tighter and he continue to cry.
