That so? Ah, that's nice.

[Anaido, do you not know about yourself enough to know if you're a bleeding heart or not...]

...Uh. Did the kitchen attack you?

No.

... I shoved a bunch of knives in my shirt so no one else could get to them.

...

[okay he's judging a little]

That's not a smart way to carry knives, chef.

No shit, asshole!

The point was to keep them on me so no one else could get them!

You could've made a bag or something? Not use your own body?

I thought some asshole was gonna try and kill me! Excuse me for not thinking smart under pressure!!

[Sanji you just admitted what you did was stupid, congrats]

...

[And then he laughs, lightheartedly, as he reaches forward to pay Sanji on the shoulder (three times).]

It's okay. You did what you thought was best. But you have to think of yourself too, you know?

Oi, I think of myself plenty! It's not like I died!

[Just got cut up!!

He's normal, he swears!!]

But you did get wounded.

Shithead, I get wounded every other week no matter where I go.

Trust me, I'm used to it.

Well, a man is dead.

[Also, they're at the sports court now. He's reaching for a racket to give to Sanji.]

I don't think getting wounded should be part of your schedule anymore, in times like this.

... I mean, you're not wrong...

[Still looking disgruntled as he takes the racket and gives it a little twirl in his hands.]

Still don't regret keeping you bastards away from pointy shit. At least I know I'll never stab anyone.

Where are the knives now? You're still not carrying them, are you?

[THAT'S A DANGEROUS WAY TO PLAY TENNIS]

I put them away.

[...]

Some of 'em.

[A VERY FLAT LOOK.]

Sanji.

-- Alright, alright! I'm taking it out!

[Pulling two kitchen knives outta his shirt, leave him be!]

[SANJI!!!!!!!!!!!]

...

That is no way to play tennis. Seriously.

Put those somewhere else.

You sure? Might even out the stakes a little.

[Sanji is a gremlin]

It would be only evening out the stakes if we both had knives, Sanji.

[SANJI PLEASE]

Oh fine, stop giving me that shitty look.

[See, the knives have been placed down and out of the way. He holds out a hand for the racket]

Let's get going. Think I've kept you waiting long enough.

Hahaha. Let's play, then!

[IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-DUEL]

Have you played this before?

Nah, but I get the general gist of it. And anything else, I can pick up as we play.

I get the general gist of it, too! Just a ball over a net, haha.

...

Who's going to go first?

Me.

[Give him the ball. It's time to go to war]

[He pauses, before handing him the ball, and moving over to the other side of the net.]

[He is absolutely not ready for this, because he is a fool.]
