[ were it any other two members of the crew, this entire interaction could go along much more smoothly. but as misfortune has brought sanji and zoro to link up within several feet of one another, there isn't the slightest chance for this to go without some incident of raised voices and irritated tones.
as soon as the mutter of "asshole" slips from the greenheaded man's lips, sanji is all too instantly invading any semblance of his personal space, standing by the crates one second and then suddenly lodging the flat of his forehead to zoro's, pressing in with all the force he can muster, fueled either by haki or pure stubborn rage. ]
Ehhhhh!? Weren't you the one saying you wouldn't take directions from me, shithead?

[ the air around them seemingly vibrates with energy, heat radiating from a fueling of their mutual irritation. typically, it takes the attractive presence of a woman to steal the entirety of sanji's attention, but zoro has a unique ability for embodying a full distraction in another manner, the way sanji instantly seems to nearly forget the original reason he asked zoro here in the first place, with no one capable of tearing his eyes away from their competitive shared contact now.
the press of their heads face quite the match as sanji refuses to back down with his foot braced heavily against the ground, even as their noses practically brush together. ]
And why the hell would I tell you the wrong way!? As if I'd want to waste my time waiting around for your lost ass!

[ if someone like nami were to approach them, scolding them for their recklessness and public intimidations, sanji would buckle in an instant, abandoning any sense of competition to give in with obedience. but without an outside force strong enough to tear his attention away, priority stands with trying to maintain himself on zoro's level, and as he senses the other man's grip to his sword, his own leg remains just as prepared as his own weapon, surging with a sudden simmering fire from thigh to heel. ]
My shit!? I'm feeding your dumb mouth with that "shit", so how about I kick some damn respect into you!?

[ sanji doesn't crave or hunger for thrill of a fight the way that zoro often does, nor does he take pleasure in it beyond its necessity as a form of protecting his crew, of keeping the ladies safe. yet there's undeniably a heat in his blood when it comes to fueling up towards a fight with zoro, even if he'd personally refuse to refer to it as excitement and more the depths of his own annoyance with the man.
it burns the fire around his leg hot, cracks the resistance of his temper, as he grits his teeth, eyes stern with the challenge, as the sight of zoro's grin grips at something tight in the inside. ]
I'll teach you a damn lesson, shitty swordsman—!
[ and he gives a spin on his heel, hurling up the force of his own leg, well aware that zoro won't simply take it, but driving all of his strength into the kick regardless. ]

Find me? How are you going to find me when I can't find you?
[ A more logical person would find this completely absurd, but as frustrating as this is, playing the most chaotic game of Marco Polo is almost fun. Besides, how far away could he really get?
Another hello shouted at the sky later– ]
Am I closer yet?
