[Whether out of the goodness of her heart, or because she was looking to extract some type of revenge at the time, Sanji doesn't know, but he's very aware of the end result: Zoro came back to the crew.

[And then he hesitates, twisting his head and staring at the door like he'd prefer to dart right back out. Unspoken words burn on his tongue until he musters up the courage to say them] I guess not allies...
[And then a glance back in her direction] ... How about friends instead?
