[They want a challenge out of this, both of them pushing further and pressing their luck in the name of what? It's not even a traditional fight. It's sparring sure, but it's more than just that. It's a ritual for them both at this point, because who's going to be able to take what they can dish out besides the other? But it usually ends before it gets too far, before they manages to wear each other out or actually hurt each other. And now, with the party away from them and people focused on Luffy rather than two bickering battlers, they're alone to deal with their nonsense together and unchecked.
It's the same old story, mixed up with different banter and moves, but still it feels good for Sanji somehow. Even if they end up passed out next to each other, still dreaming about who's going to win, this is something of a language that they actually know how to speak. When words fail, swords and kicks don't. And he doesn't have to think beyond his next move when they're fighting this way.
But no matter how much harder he kicks, or how much faster, it's not getting Sanji anywhere. And unless one of them really wants to hurt the other, or something happens, they're just not making any progress or change.]
