#brook is the gentleman he aspires to be c'mon you can't tell me they aren't besties

I know Brook says the whole "I will protect you even if it costs me my life" about both Usopp and Sanji (the crew in general, too, but at that moment only those two). But I think there is something so personal about that sacrifice being directly tied to Zeff actually doing that very same thing when Sanji was a kid.

Sanji is not used to love and care from older men or, well, men in general. The first (and probably only connection) he has with that is Zeff and he ends up relating that sacrifice to parenthood and what a dad should be. And then Brook-- A man older and wiser and someone who they've basically just met, decides to do it too. Not only with actions but verbally stating he will protect him risking his life.

I am just saying that one can't have too many father figures after the shit Sanji has been through, and while he is far from home and far from his real dad, I don't think viewing Brook as a parental figure or a safe place would be far from the truth or what Sanji needs. I actually do think it'd be great for him.

#also having in mind i think they deal with mental health in very similar ways #adding robin there bc i genuinely think they're a trio #what if i say they're my fav trio what then #let sanji have love and care and protection from older men please #brook is the gentleman he aspires to be c'mon you can't tell me they aren't besties #and brook sees him as a kid basically #grandpa figure or smth #one piece #black leg sanji #soul king brook #red leg zeff #sabaody
