Things That Don’t Make the History Books- Patchwork Series

People would argue over what kind of man the Pirate King had been, whether the Strawhats had been visionaries or fools, and whether their loyalty was earned, bought, or born from something darker.

They would forget how this crew didn’t carve their legacy into stone or gold.

They stitched it into each other's fabric.

It was this: the slow mornings and the lazy errands, the bickering and the laughter, the way Zoro carried more than he needed to so Usopp wouldn’t drop his paints, the way Nami’s shopping lists curled at the edges where Luffy had bent them absentmindedly—the way Sanji would make tea later without anyone asking, just because he could.

Someday, the legacy of the Strawhat Pirates would be warped and shrouded in mystery. The shadows of the Sunny’s hull would warp and shift until they outlasted the current era with only Brook to remember the warmth and comfort of the grass, the cozy bunks, and the famias nestled inside like Matryoshka dolls.

But that wouldn’t be for many years to come.

In other words, the East Blue crew goes shopping for each other in a manner reminiscent of soldiers preparing for war, or at the very least, a family preparing for their weekly shopping trip.

Zoro may have been his first mate, his sword, but Sanji was his shield, and as such, he stayed steady as harbor stones, steady like a man who did not ask questions when a hand reached for him in the dark.

He let his captain lean on him. Not because Luffy needed it, maybe. But somewhere beneath all that wild grin and that storm-wreck laugh was a boy who had once been very, very alone.

Sanji finally looked down at him fully, one brow raised. “What part of me being here makes you think I’m not doing exactly what I want?”

Luffy blinked at him, like that hadn’t occurred to him yet. “Dunno,” he admitted. “Sometimes I don’t know what people want.”

‘Please,” Sanji thought, ‘You may not always know what people want, but you always know what people need.’

Sanji could’ve laughed at the honesty if it didn’t sound so damn fragile coming from him. “Yeah, well… for someone who doesn’t know what people want, you’ve sure got a whole damn crew who’d follow you straight into hell barefoot.” He’d know. He was one of them.

Luffy grinned, teeth flashing faintly in the low light. “You all love me.”

Sanji huffed again, shaking his head slightly. “Idiot.”
