one of the funniest gags in alabasta and quite honestly one of the funniest things in all of one piece was the fact that crocodile didn’t know who sanji was. sanji being an unknown hidden factor who was outplaying crocodile at nearly every turn is definitely one of his more badass moments, but it becomes incredibly hilarious when you remember that when crocodile had luffy and co. trapped in the underwater cage and was being given the runaround by mr prince, luffy was doing impressions of sanji IN FRONT OF HIM to pass the time. crocodile now in canon still doesnt actually know that mr prince was sanji nor has he ever seen sanji in person but can you imagine how goddamn pissed crocodile would be if he made the connection between the voice of mr prince on the den den mushi and that time luffy was so unfazed by him that he was doing impressions of the chef guy who totally humiliated him. crocodile who had a guy in his employ whose job was to impersonate other people. crocodile who literally heard him introduce himself as shitty restaurant and then didnt make the connection at the time of luffy impersonating a chef.
I always thought it’ll take some time for Sanji to accept his liking for activities socially associated with a feminine behavior. But, in an intimate moment of trust, he decides it’s time to talk about those insecurities with his partner. Zoro, being the “if you want to do it, what are you waiting for?” type of person he is, encourages him to express himself the way he’s more comfortable with. So, when Sanji confesses he’s nervous and almost scared about it, Zoro tries to offer his help although he doesn’t know shit about makeup.
I got inspired by @wellfine ‘s strawhat’s body types post for Sanji’s anatomy in this comic although I still have to practice a lot! Check them out, their content is *chef kiss* ❤️❤️
He’s a lot. If you get a crush on him, he’s had one on you when his eyes first landed on you
Although, having a crush on him is very hard emotionally because of how he treats other people and spoils them
He declares his love for you pretty constantly, but that’s with everyone so if you want to be in a committed relationship with him, you’ll have to make the first move. It would have to be a declaration of love or just straight up kissing him
This man is so oblivious to people who genuinely fall in love with him so he needs a straightforward “I am in love with you”
You’ll have to have a conversation with him on what you’re comfortable with him doing to other people. And patience is needed. He’s been used to acting a certain way for so long to others so if you want him to change his behavior, it takes time and patience
You do see he stops himself when it gets too far, but he wouldn’t be the man you fell for if he completely changed who he is
His memory is amazing. Your likes, dislikes, birthday, important events, allergies, you name it and he remembers it immediately
His love language is all of them. He just loves you and wants to spoil you, whether it be gifts, words, hugs, whatever it is you feel the most loved by, he’ll do it
For him, it’s a mix of quality time, physical touch, and words of admiration, things that he didn’t have the pleasure of knowing as a child
Let him use your lap as a pillow and play with his hair while telling him how lovely he is, please, he will melt and he deserves it
He tries to defend your honor a lot. Like if anyone looks at you way too long or a touch lingers for way too long, he’s already next to you and shooing the person away from you.
Gets violent if the person is persistent and you are really uncomfortable
Gets jealous and pouty easily, clinging onto you later when it’s just the two of you. Although it dissipates if you reciprocate his attention or do something that you only do to him in front of the other person
Example, if you’re chatting with someone and he’s getting pouty, peck his lips and he’s immediately dazed until your conversation is over
The celebrations after battles is usually him cooking for the crowds of people but afterward he is happy to look for you. He never says it out loud but he is very relieved that you make it through every battle. So he holds your hand constantly as you move around the celebration
He’s always cooking for you but if you ever turn the tables on him, you’ll probably make him faint
Sanji loves you so so much and is not afraid to express it to you, to the chagrin of the crew, but really he feels very blessed that you love him so he has to show it back
