I can feel the angst

Soulmate au where your soulmate's first words they spoke to you are written on your body. Which is great for wedding planner sanji because he has "hello, I'm usopp, nice to meet you" which contains a name and that's awdome for him because it'll be easier to find out who he is. But them he meets usopp and kaia for their wedding consultations and and usopp introduces himself like "hello, I'm usopp, nice to meet you." and suddenly all the gaslighting he did to himself is gone because of course Usopp isn't a common name and of course his soulmate will mary someone else.

Sojhe grits his teeth and smiles, responding with the most generic thing he could think of as to not let him know that they're soulmates.

"Nice to meet you too." They shake hands and this whole time Sanji has to act like everything is fine and his life isn't crumbling in front of him.

At the end he decides to ask them: "How did you know that you two were soulmates?" knowing fully well they're delusional and they WEREN'T soulmates.

But Usopp responds with: "We aren't but both me and her have such generic things that it could be literally anyone so we decided - what the hell, why wait for someone we definitely missed when we already love each other. For all we know we could be dead tomorrow and we'll never be able to be happy if we follow some kind of abstract rules."

Kaya had a simple "Hello!" and Usopp revealed his "Nice to meet you too." To which Usopp laughed saying "I know, I know, it's so generic that if i overthink it even you could be my soulmate. How hilarious, right?"

And all Sanji could do was show some teeth, hope it looked like a smile and force out a "haha, yeah. Hilarious."

OT4: The East Blue Boys

I enjoy the different dynamics between each one of them so much that I can't bear to split them up. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp all fill such distinct needs for each other, it doesn't work as smoothly if any of them is excluded. (Also, despite calling the quad "East Blue Boys", I absolutely headcanon Sanji as a trans woman post-timeskip.)

Luffy and Zoro are in perfect sync. Almost the same person in different fonts, Zoro's more serious nature keeps Luffy grounded when it's necessary, and Luffy makes Zoro laugh. They fight with one mind, and it's the key to their success.

Luffy and Usopp are best friends. They have the same childlike enjoyment of games, and teasing the others. Luffy's confidence in Usopp means the world to the sniper, and helps him access his inner strength. Luffy thinks Usopp is hilarious, as Usopp's creative side contrasts so sharply with Luffy's straightforwardness.

Luffy and Sanji are weirdly domestic. Sanji craves validation from authority figures, and Luffy is the only one to give it so freely and mean it so fully. And, yes, being the cook inherently gives Sanji a special place in Luffy's heart, but he's in love with the kind soul that refuses to let anyone starve.

Zoro and Usopp compliment each other. While Usopp admires Zoro's determined stoicism, Zoro admires him in return for doing it scared. Zoro isn't one for expressing emotions, and appreciates Usopp's ironic honesty.

Zoro and Sanji are a healthy example of kismeses. Their rivalry drives each of them to higher achievements, and while their banter is full of insults, there's an understood respect. Sanji would die for Zoro as much as any other strawhat, despite how much he'd deny it.

Sanji and Usopp are very sweet. "I loved her to the point of invention," is a quote that reminds me of this ship. Usopp calls out Sanji's mellorine behavior in a much more lighthearted way, and, like Zoro, Sanji learns to trust others with his true feelings in part due to Usopp.

This took way too fucking long but I need everyone to be on the same page that Sanji gets absolutely no fucking play
