Sanji’s Momoiro Island experience

In the two-year time skip, I believe that Sanji had learned a lot in so many aspects, like cooking, fighting, etc. For a Sanji fan like me, I am always so curious about his life on Momoiro Island!!! Why could this island make Sanji even sexier?!!! Also, I could feel that Zoro definitely noticed Sanji’s differences, too!!! Therefore, after I read those chapters about Sanji and Zoro in Sabaody, I always have this idea in my mind… That is… this two-year experience really made something different, such as something Sanji uses, some clothes (especially underwear) he wears, and so on!!! When this idea came into my mind, I was so excited and I want to draw some “special Sanji”!!!! As a result, that’s why I could not help but draw this… and why I share this Zosan fanart with you.

Zoro was waiting for Sanji on Sabaody Archipelago

We know that Zoro was the first one who arrived at Sabaody Archipelago after the time skip, and then he went fishing. Zoro went fishing?!!! That’s soooooo wired!!! That’s because… before the time skip, he did not do any fishing job on Thousand Sunny !!! Almost all fishing jobs on the ship were done by Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper. So, why did he go fishing in Sabaody??? The answer was more than he wanted to kill time before the journey. Actually, the fact was… fishing gave Zoro a great excuse to wait for his cook without showing his feeling (or desire) so explicitly. And then naturally, he could have a date with Sanji after he really met him in front of the fish stall, because Sanji could ask him to buy ingredients together in case that Zoro got lost. And yes, they had a pretty great date before the crew headed to the next island. In this consequence, Zoro’s little scheming worked very well.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

After dating and observing Sanji for a while in Sabaody, Zoro had to discover something was different. (Zoro felt that Sanji somehow became more attractive but he did not know what caused it.) And for Sanji, it was not a good situation when Zoro kept staring at him!!! Because he had a little secret,… he did not want to let his little secret be found!!!! No one could know the fact that he likes to wear lace panties!!!!!! Especially that MOSSHEAD!!! He had an image to keep up!!! (I was so in love with the idea that Sanji works so hard to keep his image~ hahaha) Sadly, his image could only be kept up for a short time in many situations. Sanji would feel embarrassed when Zoro found his secret but I don’t think this was a problem (for Zoro, of course). Zoro could only think his boyfriend was so damn hot wearing sexy lace panties~~ The saying goes that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” you know~~ Besides, once seeing his boyfriend wear sexy underwear, Zoro will remember this kind of surprise feelings for the rest of his life. (I know Sanji cares about his image but drawing Sanji like this is quite interesting.)

P.S. Why is there a Sanji without the goatee?

Sanji has a babyface, and the reason I want to draw Sanji without the goatee is that I want to see Sanji’s baby face~~ I know that in the One Piece manga, I am probably not able to see babyface Sanji so I decided to make my dream come true myself. Remember, imagination is our superpower to help us create our ideal world!!!!! Hope you enjoy my fanart~~
