The revolt and surprise matting

Ever since then, Sanji lost his appetite and the will to do anything. The prophecy was heavy on his heart, and it pained him. Usopp tried to ask him many times what's wrong with him, but he just didn't answer, and Nami threatened him that she would steal his beri and his favorite clothes, but nothing seemed to work on him.

Nami and Usopp talked many times about Sanji's condition, but no matter what they did, Sanji never would tell them what he knew. Even when it hurt him the most with Nami, he wanted to protect them. Even if it meant sacrificing himself. His scattered thoughts and worry never left him, even for a moment.

Then the big shattering thing happened: the people raised up against the king, and a mob charged on the palace with torches. It started just before their Holiday Celebration, and when Sanji woke up, he found all the maids dying on the floor, blood everywhere and screaming and rage overcame him. He didn't care why they did it, or who they are, but they would pay for this!

It was one thing to want to kill him or his royal family- he didn't blame them for wanting to do that- but to kill innocent girls was his limit!

Sanji kicked out his bed, so hard until it broke into two pieces and threw away his robe. He wouldn't need it anymore or some things from his formal, royal uniform. He needed the freedom to move around with his body, and the clothes were only in the way. he put some simple cloth he find and smile

"Let's start this party," Sanji whispered under his breath and ran out to all the screaming, fire, destruction and madness he could see in front of him, trying to save what innocent people he could and fighting for his life with his strong kicks.

Then he saw him. Amidst the flaming fire, there was a man that was had a frowning expression with three swords attached to his green haramaki, and three gold earrings in his left ear. His hair was short green, and his chest was open to full view. Well, wasn't that nice to see!

His shirt was open and split to two long parts that full before the end of his feet with buttons in every side, exposing his body and the big scar on his chest. He also wore long black pants with black boots. So Sanji could say for sure - this one was a real monster.

He attacked the man, who looked surprised at first but was ready for a fight, with his kicks. That monster avoided all of Sanji's kicks and blocked him with his big muscular arms. Damn, who the hell was this guy?! Sanji jumped away from him and tried to attack him from his other side, but the green bastard moved fast enough and blocked his attack again. Damn him and his strong body!

"What the hell is your problem, asshole?!" the green haired man hissed with anger.

"Like you don't know you murderous bastard!" Sanji hissed back, and the man growled at him in warning

"I don't have time for this, I need to find someone so move out of my way!" the green-haired man growled, but he didn't seem to want to kill him. That was strange, Sanji was sure he was one of those bastards who would kill everything that moved, including his maids. He had been also sure he come for his head too, but now he had second thoughts. Then again, maybe the man was just full of bullshit. Sanji decided he was.

"Like hell I will! If you had fun killing innocent people so much, let's see you killing me!" With that Sanji kicks him with all his might until the green-haired man was forced to bring out his swords to defend himself from Sanji's strong kicks and blows.

"Ack! Oi! What the hell…..are you babbling about?!" He growled at him, and Sanji growled right back.

"You fucking liar! At least admit it, asshole! They were innocent!" Sanji screamed at him with fury. He could not stop himself. He was so angry about what was happening right in front of his eyes that he had to take it out on someone, and this guy was here. Plus, he didn't believe him for a minute.

The man growled at Sanji and pushed him back, hitting him with the two swords in his hands. Now that was more to Sanji's taste. He would kick his ass right here and now. Their big fight started. They both were strong against the other, and when one attacked, the other blocked and vice versa. But in odd way, Sanji could feel his anger replaced by adrenaline. What was wrong with him? This was serious, but it was so refreshing to fight this man.

"I didn't kill anyone. You got it, stupid curly asshole?!" he growled at him with anger, and Sanji raised his eyebrow.

"What the hell…curly?!"

"Yes, you're one crazy curly eyebrow. Calm your shit, or I'll cut you in half!"

Sanji pressed his teeth together. He really hated this guy so much right now he could really kill him.

"What did you just….call me?! You asshole! I'm going to fucking kill you!"

"No! I'm the one that will kill you if you don't fuck off!"

"Like hell you will. I'll kick your sorry ass to the sky!"

The green-haired guy smirked at him with mocking black eyes, like he really wanted to get kick in his teeth! Sanji would gladly give it to him

"You kick my ass? You wish, the man who was born to kick my ass is not you. "

Sanji smiled: he would really enjoy kicking the moss-head's face so hard.

"Oh really, moss head? Let me show you how we kick ass around here."

"Give me your best shot, crazy curly."

They both smiled at each other and started to fight again. It was more fun than they could ever imagine anything to be. Sanji saw in the green-haired man's eyes that he was full of excitement and adrenaline just like him. He'd never felt anything like this before, it was like an instant click between them that just burned stronger and stronger.

"What is it curly, given up already? I thought you were going to kick my ass."

"I haven't even started moss head! And stop calling me curly, god damn you!" Sanji hissed, and the green-haired man laughed a little.

But their private fight didn't last long, since the mob of people came at Sanji with weapons that try to stab him in the back. The moment the man saw them come at him, he yelled at him, "Oi, behind you!"

It was just in time for Sanji to kick three of them with one flexible move. The man looked at him kicking them, impressed, with a little scornful smile.

"Not bad for curly eyebrow."

"Will you leave my eyebrows alone!? You moss-headed bastard!"

"But they really are weird looking eyebrows. Were you born like this or…"

"Go fuck yourself!"

The mob kept coming, and Sanji became tired. Damn, how many come to kill them anyway, the whole kingdom?! And the bastard just stood there and watched him fight, damn him! He must have enjoyed seeing him fight alone.

But something hit his head hard that he could not predict or dodge, and damn, it hurt like a bitch. Sanji fell to his knees, holding his burning head.

"Ouch! What the hell..?!"

He could not see who threw it at him, but damn, when he found the asshole, he would kick his ass. Sanji could see a little blood on his hand from when he touched his head. What Sanji didn't expect was to see the green haired man attach his swords to the throat of a big armored guy that stood behind the people that were attacking him. He was the only one that didn't try to attack him. Which was weird to Sanji, but he was too busy to pay attention to him.

"Don't interfere with this, or I will cut you to pieces" the green-haired man hissed with murder in his eyes.

The armored man laughed and defend himself with his sword and big armor.

"We here to kill the prince over there and all the royal family, no matter how! Hunter Roronoa Zoro, don't stand in our way or we will kill you too."

The so-called Zoro sneered at him, laughing a little with scorn in his eyes.

"Kill me? You barely could entertain me with your pathetic form."

With that, Zoro cut through his armor like it was butter, and then the man's body fell to the ground unconscious. Sanji looked at him with wide eyes. At first look, he'd guessed Zoro was a monster, but not how much stronger he was. Neither had he guessed that he was a hunter. What was a hunter doing in his palace at a time like this? Who he was looking for here? But he didn't have much time to think about this before he was attacked again by more random people, who he kicked away easily.

Zoro joined him and cut down some people that attacked both of them, standing next to his back. Sanji could feel his warm body next to his back, and it made him feel weird. Why the hell he helping him now?!

"What's that? Decide to join all of sudden? I can fight by myself!"

"I was getting bored of watching you fight. I want to kill some too."

"I'm not killing anyone you bastard! They might out to take my head, but they are still the citizens of this kingdom."

"I would just get it over with and kill them."

"Not everything can be solved with killing, you dumbass!"

"It's kill or be killed. That how it works, curly." Zoro was bold and honest without looking away from him. Sanji sighed a little with a sad smile. He didn't like it, but Zoro was right. He didn't mind if they didn't belong to his country, the place that soon be his kingdom to rule. but they did belong to his kingdom, and he needed to take it in mind before attaching them.

They kept fighting back to back: it was very convenient since Zoro shielded his blind spot, and Sanji could do the same for Zoro. So they both benefited from this position, although it was kind of embarrassing for Sanji. He wasn't exactly sure why.

"Damn, it just won't end!" Sanji hissed, and Zoro growled.

"That's their purpose! To kill you and the others in here."

"Like I don't know that already, but we can't keep up like this forever! We need a plan."

"Well, hurry up and think, I'm busy here." Zoro cut more people that came at him.

"I'm busy too, asshole!"

"Just shut up and do it already!"

"Don't tell me what to do moss head!" They growled at each other without looking behind their backs, too busy in fighting and arguing at the same time.

"Fine, here what we do, you going to…." Zoro started, but he got interrupted by Usopp's loud scream that seemed to run straight at them, running from ten angry people that were trying to kill him with axes.

"Sanji, help!"

"You idiot, where the hell you been!?" Sanji scolded Usopp and left Zoro, who cursed him for leaving him exposed. But he could not let Usopp get killed by those ax guys. Sanji ran and saved Usopp at the last minute and kicked some of them, but they were more skilled than the others. More than that, he was tired, and his head hurt like hell, so he only managed to knock out five of them when he fell to his knees to rest a little.

Knowing there were more people that would come at him, Sanji prepared himself to be hit, but it never come. Sanji raised his head, confused. Why didn't he get hit from anyone? He found out that Zoro cut all the people left. That was…well very impressive, Sanji had to admit. Zoro is amazing swordsman and a fighter, but he would never tell him that because he's a jerk.
