[He absolutely did not! But maybe he kinda, sorta, possibly needs one. Just a little bit.
When the approaching moss ball condescends to him like that, Sanji wants to bite back with, "It's none of your fucking business." He scraps the thought before he even finishes it. It is entirely Zoro's business, and so much as hinting otherwise would be the worst thing Sanji could do. Then every shitty insult to come out of the moss brain's mouth would be warranted, and he is not in the mood to give Zoro that much high ground.
Yeah. That's the reason. He doesn't want to give Zoro any reason to keep yapping down to him. His decision to keep his trap shut has nothing to do with the realization that Zoro hasn't gloated about completing the challenge first. Definitely not.
Don't mind him as he sucks in a mouthful of nicotine.]
It's called a smoke break, shitty moss. A smoke break! Helps with concentration.
