Yeah, I know. [ It would be a lie to say this casino hadn't backed her into a similar corner on more than one occasion. That he wants it to be her helping him out fills her with a strange relief. He's crew, and it's a line they shouldn't be crossing back home, much less as pragmatically as the two of them approach it here, but Sanji wants her protection, and after months of feeling unmoored and alone without any of her band of morons, it's wildly gratifying.
