onepieceyaoi100(All the love! Whee! And then the best I could come up with for a topic yesterday was this. So I second-guessed myself into not posting last night. But, y'know. I still like it, so here.)
Title: Such A... Such a Man
Topic: ...still in between topics...
Word Count: 300
Rating: G, I think
Pairing: Not exactly; Sanji and Zoro and blades.
Disclaimer: Characters and setting? Not mine. Probably just as well. Here, *take* them back...
Summary: Sanji muses snarkastically on blades and men while working on an unforeseen task.
Excuse: Nope. This is nowhere even close to the drabble I was thinking of writing, but I got as far as Mihawk's moustache and couldn't get back to "green" from there. *shrug* It seemed like an apt comparison by the time I got done.
OR: I was thinking about the fact that blades typically get sharpened with a definite handed-ness, regardless of how the edge is formed, and they really just don't cut quite as well when used in the other hand. Zoro is canonically left-handed. Sanji isn't.
~~~
No class. No... finesse. Everything about him was right there, for everyone to see. Blunt, obvious, utterly without discretion. That, there? Was a man. You couldn't miss it if you tried.
You couldn't even count the (lack of) facial hair. Zoro would look stupid(er) with a Mihawk-esque moustache, and he had those sideburns, anyway. The man didn't seem vain, but the neat straight razor he (now) kept on the bathroom shelf clearly got regular use. Too bad the mirror he used was generally the blade of that white sword. Such a man.
Zoro's razor? Black horn handle, larger than most. Thick through the blade itself and wide, the beautifully symmetrical double curve flared up to a heavy spine. Sanji liked a much lighter blade himself, one with metal thin enough to flex if pushed hard enough. The difference was one of power against finesse.
But then, Sanji supposed, he was used to handling smaller cutlery, anyway. And, really, Sanji's razor would've been lost between Zoro's fingers. Yet Zoro handled his smallest blade the same way he did his swords, with an effortless economy of motion that almost made Sanji jealous of the amount of practice time he'd had.
However, the most important difference between the two razors wasn't their weights, but the direction they were sharpened in. The way the muscle-headed idiot sharpened every blade he picked up. The reason why Sanji was never, ever, EVER letting the man sharpen one of his knives again, no matter what.
Because Zoro had, for some reason, tried to be helpful. He'd gotten through the paring knives before Sanji realized he was putting a left-handed edge on them. Fortunately, Sanji'd stopped him before he got to the bigger blades. Bad enough he needed to re-hone these ones.
Pfeh. No consideration at all, really.
