Summary

It had been delicious, had tasted so sweet, but it was never meant to last before it was taken away from him by his family. Now, Sanji realized he was never going to be free. The taste of freedom soured in his mind and soul, never to be thought of again.
But a hand was reaching out to him, attached to a smile, a straw hat and a promise of being free.
He could only hope he had the strength to take the hand. The courage to taste freedom again.
