Sacrifice

Summary: He would die for her whether she wanted it or not.

Author's note: I liked my first Sanji/Robin fic, so I wanted to write another one. I was listening to Zombie by The Cranberries. It's really a great song!

Disclaimer: I own Jack, no one else.

Robin was helpless as Spandam punched her. "You witch!" He yelled. "Stop trying to run! Your life is worthless!!"

Spandam turned as he heard someone strike a match. A blond figure stood, lighting a cigerette. "No one hurts Robin-chan! You got that, Asshole?!"

Robin lifted her head from where she lay on the ground. I told him to stay away! "Cook-san, get put of here!"

Sanji spoke calmly, "Robin, remember the day you joined the crew? That day I made a promise to myself to always protect you. I will keep it even if I end up dying in the process." He exhaled, blowing smoke out his nose.

Robin's mind couldn't understand. Why would one go to such lengths to protect someone else? It didn't make sense to her. Here was a man who knew little about her, but was ready to die for her at a moment's notice. Something inside her heart ached.

"Such brave words for one so injured! Prepare to die!" Spandam charged at Sanji, but the chef kicked him in the face, knocking him out.

Sanji got the handcuffs off Robin. "Are you all right, my dear?" He asked, helping her stand.

"Cook-san!" Robin yelled as Jack, leader of CP6, pulled his bloody sword from Sanji's back. Sanji turned around and attacked.

"Robin, run!" The chef yelled urgently. Robin stood there, frozen. She was scared for her friend's life. Sanji got hit again by his opponent. He struggled to his feet.

Jack grinned evilly in Robin's direction. "You stay right there. After I finish off this fool, you're next!"

"I won't allow it!" Sanji coughed up blood. "Robin-chan should only be treated with the greatest respect. You CP bastards can't harm her anymore!"

Jack chuckled. "Don't you know what she is? Nico Robin is a demon."

"Demon or not, that doesn't give you the right to hurt her!" Sanji was furious.

"You're injured. What makes you think you can protect her?" Jack asked, laughing.

Sanji gave Jack a look that made him stop laughing. "Don't you bad guys ever shut up?!" The blond teen kicked Jack, sending him into the wall. "Robin, please, get going! I don't how much longer I can hold him off!"

Nami appeared. "Sanji-kun! Robin! Are you okay?"

Jack stood. "'Okay' might not be the best word for Blondie over here!" Sanji fell.

Right now is the one time I would wanna see Sword Boy's ugly mug. Sanji thought. Jack loomed over Sanji, ready to kill him. The chef rolled away as Jack brought his sword down, cutting a strand of blond hair. "Nami! Take Robin and go back to the ship!"

"What about-" Nami started.

Sanji intereupted, "I promised to protect both of you and I will!" Nami's brown eyes glistened with tears. She blinked them back.

"Ok! But you better come back or you'll owe me more than Zolo and Luffy combined!" Nami shouted.

Sanji put his Mr Prince sunglasses on. "You got it, Princess." Robin and Nami ran back to the ship, leaving Sanji to deal with Jack.
