Summary
"Man is Sanji grateful for all of that training NASA forced him through. Not that he’s ever been out of shape a day in his life, but it’s not like martial arts really prepares people for situations like this one. It’s not like NASA specifically trained him for it either, but close-fucking-enough.
He’ll have to remember to give them a good Yelp review: Five stars, astronaut training was a bit intense, but it sure did come in handy when I was left stranded on Mars!”
Or: its The Martian, featuring Sanji's survival skills and Zoro's inability to admit he cares about the damn Cook.

Summary
He looked good.
He really, really looked good.
He looked better than the survivor of a land rover mishap on a desert planet had any fucking right to look.
They still weren't really speaking and that was fine. Brienne had no feelings about that at all. Zero. Especially not when they had much more pressing concerns.
Like being stranded on fucking Mars.
