Hi again! This was originally going to be a one-shot, but I decided to do a reverse-situation. It's a bit harder to do then the first one, because Sanji doesn't keep as much hidden as Zoro does, but I hope that everyone likes it. Zoro's also got a different tone then Sanji, but I tried to keep it true to his character. I'd love any and all feedback!

Enjoy!

…

That cook. He was an idiot, no denying the fact. He twirled around the deck, from one female to the next. There was no stopping him. He'd spew praise with hearts in his eyes, stopping only to reprimand the males for doing something that they shouldn't be doing. Or for not listing to the ladies of the crew. Whichever. He was a love-sick, enslaved idiot. Most of the time at least.

Other times, he did something worthy of, if not respect, at least acknowledgement. He took care of the weaker crewmates, not only the females. During a battle, he would take care of some of the enemies coming toward Usopp or the other weaker crew members, and do it in a way that no one would be aware of the aid. Only if you were fighting back-to-back, or standing next to him arguing would you notice it. It is subtle enough that I'm not sure if it is intentional, or just a subconscious defending of those weaker than him. It doesn't matter, though. All that matters is the action, not the reason behind it.

The cook was loyal. He would lay down his life for his captain, no questions asked. As much as he wouldn't admit it, he would give his life for anyone in his crew, not just the female ones. In Thriller Bark, he would die for both his captain and fellow crewmate. And he would have died. I felt kind of bad for knocking him out like that, but I would have felt worse if he had died. And he would have died. As strong as he is, I'm stronger, and it took every last bit of strength and willpower that I had to keep from dying. Even so, he tried. And that in itself is worthy of respect.

Sanji is unwavering about his cooking. He treats it seriously, and works his hardest for each and every dish. It doesn't matter how small or inconsequential it is, every piece of food that he makes is cooked to the best of his ability. He treats his hands well, and takes care of them like he would a cooking knife or any other took in his kitchen. He won't use them to fight, or use them when they could get injured. I'll torment him about his cooking, but his food is that best that I've tasted. Ever. No questions asked. I'd never tell him that, though. His head is already inflated enough as it is.

As much as he didn't look it, Sanji was a battle-hardened warrior. In our mock-battles, his kicks would be enough to knock most men of their feet, and through a wall in the process. And with his ability comes enjoyment. He likes to fight, although you can't tell normally. That side of him is buried deep within him, rarely coming out. The only time when that side of him is shown is in battles themselves. In the midst of a mob of enemies, he'll fly through them, wearing a look of savage pleasure at the destruction that he causes. He takes down enemies with flurries of kicks, too fast for the eye to follow. The delight in the rush of adrenaline and the thrill of a fight for your life is something that only an experienced fighter can see. You have to notice the things in yourself before you can see them in others.

But as great of a fighter as he is, as amazing of a cook, he was still a girl-crazy idiot, and nothing was going to change that. He'll moon across the deck of the ship before, after and during a fight. Because the Sanji that twirled around with hearts in his eyes was the Sanji that everyone else saw, and that's who he was. Most of the time, at least.

…

I hope that everyone liked it! Please tell me what you think, and if you liked the Sanji style or the Zoro style better :) And yes, I think that Zoro is stronger, but I think that Sanji's the next one in line.
