Shirohige!Sanji headcanons

Suffered from light sensitivity and had the worst set of sunburns Marco has ever seen. Kid had to be wrapped almost head to toe in gauze for two months to protect the blisters and skin.

Sanji hated it.

He still suffers light sensitivity

Called Marco a "shitty fire bird" after two days of knowing him.

Has fallen asleep on White Beard, Marco, and Thatch because they're warm

He called White Beard "dad" on several occasions, the first time when he woke up from a nightmare to the man holding him.

He has also fallen asleep on Ace before they started dating

Became next in line for Fourth Division Commander after Thatch

Thatch is absolutely his favorite sibling

He has met Shanks and his crew several times and fed them all. Roux and him have fought over spices each time. Sanji was fourteen and Jozu had to carry him away from the fight before it got physical the first time.

He also started smoking at fourteen after several crew mates let him try their cigarettes after dealing with Roux.

Sanji has mandatory days off from the galley, he is not allowed inside it

There have been several incidents regarding Sanji's days off that include but are not limited to: White Beard tossing him over board, Marco picking him up and flying him around, and Jozu making the kid train so hard he caught fire

Teach poured water on him to put him out, Sanji considers that the only good he has ever done in his life

The first time he meets Ace after he's locked up for trying to kill White Beard he complimented Ace on his guts for trying to kill an emperor but also one of the most beloved men on the sea.

He's already tailoring meals for Ace after a day.

They allow Ace on deck as long as he wears some light seastone cuffs so he doesn't try to fly off or fight and Sanji lights a cigarette with his foot.

They start dating six months after Ace joins the crew.

He joins Ace to go to Wano and becomes friends with Yamato as well

His hands have the Shirohige emblem on the back

Zeff disapproves whole heartedly so Sanji wears gloves whenever he's helping Zeff with Baratie

Zeff's chivalry also doesn't really stick with him since he's there so rarely and Shirohige crews fight anyone and everyone

For whatever reason in the grand line no one recognizes him, Strawhats will point at his new world bounty and say they're going to crush that bounty

It's like 400 million beri because he's basically Ace's accomplice in everything and anything

That is also why his poster is like that

Golden CH 3

Shanks snaps his head to Mihawk like a whip because they are. They've been friendly for years and he's told Mihawk all about Luffy when he would make calls from Foosha.

Sanji could feel the ship out in the ocean. Has his head tilted at the excitement coming from the ocean. Mihawk's in the castle and the ship is still a ways out so he bolts inside, running past the humandrills and through the garden. Mihawk shoots him a look as he runs to the kitchen.

“Someone's coming.” Sanji says and Mihawk nods.

“Go to your room and hide.” Mihawk orders and Sanji is off like lightning, his haki signature gone just as quick. Mihawk goes outside to the beach and recognises the jolly roger as Shanks. He hasn't seen Shanks in a couple years, not since their duel with White Beard and Marco as spectators.  He has not even thought of the man since Newgate was here a few months back. He's so busy with his boy - and when did he start thinking of Sanji as his? - that he hasn't done more than a few jobs recently for the Navy that didn't take him away for too long. But his little boat, Speed he thinks is the name, comes ashore and Mihawk nods at him.

“Hawkeye! Been a while!” Shanks crows as he stands on the boat. “Permission to come on land?” 

“Granted but not for long.” Mihawk answers as Shanks, Benn, Roux, and Yasopp come on land. They all nod to him as they make their way to the castle, the humandrills don't give them trouble even if Sanji did rile them up. “You've lost your hat.” 

“It'll be returned in due time.” Shanks smiles and he's holding himself oddly like he's hiding something and Mihawk's already noticed the arm of his coat flapping in the wind.

“I don't have time for a duel today.” Mihawk says and Shanks laughs.

“I'm in no shape to duel at the moment, we just got out of a skirmish and need a minute to reorganise, and your town isn't exactly kind to us.” Shanks points out.

“They aren't exactly kind to me either, Redhair. They hate the Navy more than me.” Mihawk points out. Shanks nods as they head inside. Most of the crew is doing menial work and repairing the ship. It's not exactly something they need to watch over as they plan a new course and with Mihawk being close by they thought to pop by.

Mihawk can't exactly signal to Sanji that lunch will be late as Roux takes over the kitchen to make enough for them and not include Sanji and Mihawk isn't going to deal with another Newgate fiasco.Shanks talks to him about his time in Foosha, of the boy he gave his hat to and Yasopp leaves in search of something or other and - 

Sanji is on the ground running and Yasopp is yelling and Mihawk is out the door. Benn following him quickly as Sanji speeds off and Yasopp yells nonsense out Sanji's bedroom window. Sanji is still hiding his haki and Benn is lagging behind and Sanji takes several turns and is gone.

“Fucking hell.” Mihawk spits as he looks around for any trace. Sanji is incredibly light footed though so his tracks are mostly meaningless as they don't really show turns or jumps or anything. And he weighs nothing, so that doesn’t particularly help his search. “Sanji, come out!” He calls and scans but Sanji is good at hiding and the island is full of hollows and nooks and crannies for the kid to hide in.

As long as he didn't upset the humandrills as he often did, anyway. Benn has his weapons out where as Mihawk, as a sign of civility dammit, left Yoru in the fucking castle. Benn doesn't bother putting them away either at the glare Mihawk shoots at him. 

“Sanji!” Mihawk calls again.

“Why the fuck are you yelling ‘three’?” Benn growls at him.

“It's his name, put those away, he's ten.” Mihawk seethes and Benn cocks an eyebrow as Yasopp and Shanks join them. Curiosity is all around him but there's nothing from Sanji. “Sanji!”

“What the hell did you do to scare a kid, you have one!” Shanks berates Yasopp.

“I smelled cigarettes so I investigated! It jumped out the window before I even got a good look at it!” Yasopp defends and Mihawk growls something unholy as Shanks looks around.

“Hawkeye, where the fuck is the kid's voice?” He asks as his hand rests on Gryphon.

“He’s exceptional with observation haki.” Mihawk answers and Shanks stares open mouthed at the man before going back to the branches.

“He's been training it for how long?” Benn asks.

“Five months.” Mihawk pans as just a flicker of Sanji comes through with anxiety, just a flash in the pan so Mihawk knows he's close and listening. “Sanji, come out.” 

“Are they safe?” A small voice calls from up in the trees. Shanks snaps his head to Mihawk like a whip because they are. They've been friendly for years and he's told Mihawk all about Luffy when he would make calls from Foosha. They've only just left Foosha a couple years ago and Mihawk has a brat now?

“Yes, they're safe.” Mihawk calls back and it's so quiet until they spot a mop of blond hair and a tiny boy climb down a tree. He runs to Mihawk and hides in his coat as he eyes the newcomers wearily. He's quiet all around Shanks notices and Benn holsters his gun and sword. Still no soul voice as Mihawk simply pats his head. “It's almost time for lunch.”

“He's ten?” Shanks asks for confirmation as he kneels to eye level with the boy who doesn't look it, he looks like Luffy did a couple years ago to him. Small and gangly and all limbs. The kid’s eyes are so blue and he’s small. So small Shanks wants to pick him up and throw him on his shoulders.

“Yes.” Mihawk glowers. “Let's get back,” he says to the boy, “do not run ahead. Roux is in the kitchen and he'll force feed you.” Mihawk finishes warning the boy and Sanji makes a face up at the swordsman as they start heading back. Shanks keeps a keen eye on the kid as they get back to the castle. 

“Roux, there's another mouth to feed!” Yasopp calls as they enter the castle and Sanji flinches and grips Mihawk as Roux meets them halfway to the kitchen.

“He looks like Anchor did!” Roux laughs as he bends down lightly. “Never took you for getting a brat.” He laughs at Mihawk next.

“Well it was either me or Redleg.” Mihawk mutters as they go to the kitchen. 

“So how did you get a kid?” Yasopp asks and Sanji stiffens noticeably which makes everyone snap their eyes to him.

“I found him and Zeff on a rock, they were there for eighty five days.” Mihawk says as he pats Sanji's head. “They're safe.” He reminds the kid and Shanks aches in a way that reminds him of Buggy and his over sensitive haki after the Edd War. After it all got so quiet and Buggy was sobbing against Captain. 

Sanji nods mutely as he doesn't move away. Just fists his hands that are bone wrapped in skin into the shirt Mihawk's wearing. Mihawk seems used to it. So used to it they move seamlessly together.

“Kid, why did you jump out the window?” Yasopp asks and the kid shrugs. He lets a flash of fear through before swallowing his soul voice again. 

“Well aren't you a prodigy with that soul voice of yours?” Shanks smiles at Sanji. “I haven't known someone who could hide like that in a while when so young.” 

“What are you feeding him?” Roux asks as he starts on another pot on the stove. 

“Food.” Mihawk pans and Shanks can see the barest hint of a smile from the kid. “The doctor in town gave us a diet that's mostly carbs and protein.”

Roux hums as he continues cooking. “He'll eat anything?” 

“Food is food.” Sanji says quietly and there's a pain in his words that echo within Shanks. Mihawk pats his head again and says something quietly that makes the boy leave and Shanks' eyes follow him the whole way. A few moments pass before Mihawk looks to Roux again.

“He only started eating properly once he was here, he doesn't eat like your anchor did or most kids. Whatever portion you’re thinking of giving him, half it.” Mihawk says to the cook and Roux scowls into the food he's making. Yasopp has anger swirling in his soul voice and Shanks does too but Benn is calm. All seeing in ways Mihawk and Shanks don't understand.

“He's too quiet.” Benn mutters.

“Newgate said the same thing.” Mihawk says and oh. 

“He didn't take him?” Shanks is shocked, White Beard will take kids left and right if unwatched.

“Marco wouldn't let him.” Mihawk answers. “Pulled Sanji out of his hiding spot the first time he hid his haki signature. He let it fall briefly and.” Mihawk gestures lazily then takes off his coat and hangs it on the hook near the doorway. 

“I'll kill him myself.” Shanks growls a hand on Gryphon again.

“I’m sure one day you will.” Mihawk responds. He doesn't explain further and Sanji comes back in thicker, warmer clothes and washes his hands as Roux starts plating. Mihawk gathers silverware and they all sit to eat and Sanji's plate is still piled too high and Mihawk knows it will be saved for later immediately. “How long until the ship is ready?”

“Couple more hours at the most.” Shanks answers. They all eat and Sanji is doing his best. Roux is a good cook, it's good food! It's just he can't eat like he's normal because he's not. “Getting full, Sanji?” 

“Yessir.” Sanji mumbles as he's pushing the food around on his plate and he's barely made a dent. Benn is smiling between bites.

“Well, he ain't Anchor or my kiddo.” Yasopp shakes his head. “It's okay kid, it can go in the icebox for later, alright?” 

“I did half it.” Roux defends himself and Mihawk rolls his eyes.

“I'm sorry, it is good. I-” Sanji starts quietly but Shanks puts his hand on Sanji's shoulder lightly. Sanji flinches reflexively so Shanks pulls away and raises his hand softly.

“If it's good and you'll eat it later and it won't go to waste then that's good enough for us.” Shanks smiles at the kid who nods. White Beard hadn't fought Mihawk to take the boy and make him his son which speaks volumes to how fucked the kid is to Shanks. Mihawk has already gathered the plate and is putting it away. 

“I can't believe Marco told Newgate ‘no’.” Yasopp says after a few minutes. 

“Isn't that the job of the first mate?” Mihawk asks back and Benn nods succinctly. “You can go, Sanji, it's alright.” And Sanji fucking bolts away and Shanks blinks after the kid.

“Can he show you his voice without showing us?” Shanks asks bewildered.

“I've had him for a year and half.” Mihawk responds as he sits back down to finish his plate. “I’d think I’d know the boy some by now.”

“Ten?” Shanks asks again. 

“I'll kill them.” Mihawk answers and Shanks grins.

“I want in when you do it.” Shanks says and Benn sighs. The long suffering sigh of controlling a captain who did whatever he liked.
