onepieceyaoi100Title: White Flag
Rating: PG-15
Pairing: Sanji/Baratie. Because he loves the ship and the people on it as much as Usopp loves Merry.
Sing: White Flag - Dido
Word Count: 283
A/N: Not happy. Alternate Reality. Sort of 'what if Luffy never came?'
He kept on fighting, even as the wood burned down around him. Beads clattered against the floor and proud timber charred to ashes, as he dodged and spun and kicked out and fell and kept staggering back upright. Kept on kicking, snapping necks and breaking bone and shattering nerve with his teeth grit tight, hands clenched inside the pockets of his red-stained black suit.
Fought, until his legs were masts of lead. Until he wasn't sure which way was up anymore, at the rate he kept falling, fingers scrabbling for purchase against a red-soaked floor. Until at last the heavy mass of an opalescent ball cracked across his spine and Sanji crashed hard, long spidery legs flailing about wildly from the momentum before falling still.
He watched, too battered to move, shivery breath wheezing from punctured lungs as the larger man lumbered closer. Blood tinted Sanji's vision red, ran down his face like scarlet tears.
I've failed.
He tried to kick out. His legs remained unmoving, lifeless, detached. Then he saw that he'd twisted his left knee in his fall, but he didn't feel it.
"I will ask you one last time." Pearl smiled, and ran a grimy tongue across grimier lips. "Give us the ship, and we'll spare your lives."
Sanji opened his mouth. Formed the word 'yes'. And spat his bloody, long-extinguished cigarette at Pearl's face.
I tried.
Grinned a broken grin as the other calmly wiped off the smear, before raising a heavy arm to deal the final blow.
Forgive me.
Behind him, he heard Zeff's anguished roar of, "Idiot eggplant - " before treasure splintered his skull and sent the wet pieces tumbling over the railings.
A gunshot rang out soon after.
Silence fell.
A/N: For those who don't remember, Gin is holding Zeff hostage at this point.
...yes I realize only the chorus of the lyrics apply to the drabble. >> Sue me. I was originally going to write post Lu/Uso fight Usopp/Merry, because the lyrics fit so well. But maybe another time.
White Flag - Dido
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Date: 2007-01-01 06:36 pm (UTC)I'm gonna just curl up in a corner and re-watch that fight to remind myself that Luffy does come and Sanji and Zeff don't die (and why is it that the idea of Sanji with a broken back is so heartbreaking? 'Cause it is.)
Well done.
