This flashback is still so harrowing. That whole wait on the island. It all feels so delibrate and slow and truly awful.
If only there had been a way for them to catch fish at least...
(But the One Piece people really are made of steel. I think something like 23 days is the longest anyone in RL has gone without food that we know about...)
You know, I hadn't realised Zeff probably felt some guilt for Sanji's sake. Like you said, Zeff was the reason Sanji couldn't move (even if I'm pretty sure he'd still have gone under with the ship). But it's also possible that if Zeff hadn't decided to raid the Orbit, maybe the crew would have spot the storm in time to get ready for it and perhaps be able to ride it out. Or very possibly they still wouldn't be able to, but because of the raid there was no time to prepare.
(Though, man, can you imagine Zeff taking care of fragile babbu 10 year old Usopp who is just frightened by it all and just wants company so they bond because what Usopp needs more than anything is a friend and ffff)
Awww. But would Zeff still have been able to cut off and eat his own leg if there was also a scared little boy right beside him? Or could he make himself send him away to the other side of the rock for just a much shorter time - and do it more kindly? - than he did with Sanji? Maybe later he'd lie and say a shark took his leg but Zeff killed it so now he's eating shark...
