( sanji is here because zoro invited him and sanji turned up.
that should have been expected.
there's never been a time when zoro looked for him and he wasn't there, barring that time when it was exactly like that, and sanji was gone, and luffy and the others went off to find him. it's hard to think of things in terms of what's normal and what's not when sanji's actions upheaved zoro's sense of normalcy so abruptly. it's like when usopp left, sort of. nothing was right for a while, even when they had to pretend that it was. zoro could have invited him here and sanji could have disappeared again, ran off on his own, alone, against luffy's wishes, again, because he doesn't know luffy's wishes at all, and the last thing luffy would wish for is to see sanji trapped out of misaligned duty. how could luffy ever be happy with a thing like that weighing in his heart? how could any of them ever—
zoro's saying that's enough of that topic for now, since that isn't why sanji is here. on the one hand, zoro doesn't feel obligated to explain jack shit to sanji. on the other, as his nakama, there's no one zoro wants to talk to more.

I'm marrying Tsukuyo. And unlike you, I don't fall in love with every woman I lay my eyes on. She's the only woman I'll ever want, so this isn't just about getting us all closer to going home.
