It's a sight Sanji almost dreads, as he imagines what they'll find. It's been only two weeks, but Luffy's metabolism is so ridiculously fast, it may as well have been months. And after months of starvation, Sanji knows what awaits them on the island.
Luffy, rubber skin stretched taut over protruding bones, a skeleton of what he once was.
Luffy, minus a leg, deciding he can never be a pirate again.
Luffy, eyes dark and mistrusting, stealing scraps of food, jealously hoarding his treasures away.
Sanji wants, desperately wants, none of the above, but tells himself it's too much to hope for, just as Usopp shouts that he sees something in the distance.
They alter their course to where Usopp points, and find a sea king floating in the water. Dead or sleeping, they can't tell. Zoro ensures it's the former by slicing them a path through its body, and that's when they see it. Curled up within the embrace of the sea king is the little rock.
"He can't have been eaten, can he?" someone asks in horror, and Sanji's heart lurches.
"No, wait! I see something on the island!" Usopp says, focusing his goggles for a closer look.
This is it, then. The moment of truth.
The speck moves, and everyone heaves a sigh of relief.
The distant little figure gets to its feet, and begins waving its hands, and there's general rejoicing.
"Oi, you guys! You came!" Luffy's voice, cheerful as ever, reaches them now, and as they approach, they see his bulging stomach, and the bits of sea king that have been stripped free of its flesh and turned into sashimi. Usopp and Chopper are bouncing up and down, Nami-san's wondering aloud why they ever bothered to even worry about him, and Robin-chan's smile reaches all the way to her eyes for the first time since meeting Aokiji. And Zoro just crosses his arms and grins quietly to himself.
Sanji's not smiling. Or maybe he is. He might be crying, but he hopes he isn't. There are so many emotions battling inside him he doesn't know what to feel.
It's not enough, he decides. It's wonderful that Luffy's alive. Beyond miraculous that he's not starving. But he needs to know that he's been forgiven.
