talking about how pudding is constantly threatening to kill sanji and his response being smiles and laughter and a bigger crush, how that can be connected to his childhood where abuse was the only way anybody paid attention to him, also how it can be connected to his relationship with zoro where they constantly fight and bicker, esp with how many fights sanji starts himself, it’s literally flirting for him. my boy would not trust a serious compliment, but would trust a knife at his throat.
