Episode 825 did you mean the episode where Luffy kissed Sanji ever so tenderly in the rain and told him he loved him

"Beat loudly, heartbeat!"

One Piece final battle

poorly drawn extra:

I’ve been rewatching One Piece with a friend (their first time, my second) And we just finished up Fish Man Island and were watching episode 570 and I saw something so sweet that I hadn’t seen before. It was the scene where Jinbei is trying to tell Luffy about the world and how it’s changed and at first everyone is like this:

Note where everyone is! But then, when things get more serious and the mention of Akainu comes up, saying he’s the new fleet admiral and then Luffy touches his scar and grimaces, remembering bad things and the next time we get a far shot it’s this:

And then for the rest of the conversation, Sanji sat down beside Luffy, kinda like a silent support when they get to Blackbeard.

And I thought wow that’s so cool and small detail and I decided to check the manga and sure enough:

Sanji just auto sits down beside Luffy, and pretty close too. It doesn’t take observation haki to know hearing about that kind of stuff for Luffy was hard, especially since it’s one of the only times you really see Luffy in distress about his scar and Marineford. And just, Sanji picking up on that and making sure he’s close to to his captain, to be like ‘hey we’re here with you and for you, you’re not alone’. Kindness, probably mixed with guilt for not being there, just more for Sanij’s character. He’s being there for Luffy now and I can’t get over this subtle little thing.
