This was good for my LuSan heart ❤

One thing I’ve always liked and respected about Luffy the most is that he always respects his nakama’s freedom of choice.
Luffy is never going to “force” Sanji to come back, just like when he didn’t recruit Sanji on the Baratie until the cook himself offered to join.
Back then Luffy probably knew Sanji wanted to join deep down, but since he respected Sanji’s love and sense of responsibility for Zeff, he chose to step back.
Just like then Luffy knows Sanji wants to come back, but he’s going to “wait” for him to take care of things and make up his mind.
So in both cases, what matters the most to Luffy isn’t his desire to keep Sanji by his side; it’s Sanji’s wish, Sanji’s choice that matters.
We’re once again reminded in this arc why Luffy is a GREAT captain, who truly deserves to be the future Pirate King.
Isn’t it cute how both Luffy and Sanji are staring at each other’s state instead of looking down their own bodies? It’s like they’re unconsciously reminding themselves the damage they inflicted upon each other.
I love how beautifully simple all of this is.
In the end, what pushed Sanji to make up his mind wasn’t any logical reasoning or secret strategy; he didn’t even need an additional shove from Nami and the others. What made him come back to his senses was none other than a chunk of meat, which reminded him that his shitty meat-loving rubber captain was starving because of him, and it’s his duty as the cook to feed him.
Nothing else matters. Simple as that.
After reading chapter 844, a reminder of how much Luffy wanted Sanji in his crew, how much he liked him, how persistent he was on recruiting him, and how thrilled he was when he finally accepted
…I’m not crying you’re crying😭😭😭
Proof that Sanji cares about men as much as he cares about women? When push comes to shove, Sanji shamelessly clings onto other guys to show how desperately worried he is about them.
