They all serve in their own ways.
Granted, most of those ways involve at least some level of violence.

george being so casual about murder is my new favourite thing, can you tell by my sudden explosion of george-written-by-dragonstorm-bookmarks?
"Some of the water sloshed onto the floor - he’d have to mop that up later - but the sorcerer swayed and fell to his knees. George promptly hit him again and was satisfied to see blood now staining his pale blond hair. Some had inevitably gotten onto the pitcher too, of course, but cleaning it would be well worth the dent he’d managed to make in the other man's skull. He collapsed to the floor in a most satisfactory manner." - ashdfasdgfhasgdfahgsfdhasg

“I can explain,” Merlin said.George didn’t really see what explanation was needed. “Were they after the king or the prince?” he asked politely.
Merlin gaped at him for a moment before swallowing and saying, “Um. Me, actually.”
George nodded. “Word must have gotten out.” That was unfortunate. He was sure it would make Merlin’s job more difficult.
“You’re taking this rather well.”
It took a moment for that to click.
. . . Oh.
Oh!
Merlin hadn’t actually realized he’d known, or at least hadn’t realized he’d known everything.
“I’m a great admirer of your work,” he said.
Merlin nodded slowly. “Do . . . you have magic?”
George shook his head. “I lack the talent, I fear. Thus why I normally leave these to you.” He nudged the sorcerer at his foot with his boot.

"Such a tragic accident, what happened to Lord Regin, but then, there was an awful lot of stone falling from the sky.
It left an impressive dent in his skull if George might say so himself."

Summary
An empty stage. Remnants of life: a net in one corner, floorboards pitted, dark stains spattered over the wall, a sketchbook propped up against the wall. Or not. Maybe it’s just empty.
A YOUNG MAN enters. Uncomfortable.
He takes a trinket from his pocket – a wooden shark toy – and places it down. The position is wrong; he fixes it. Fixes it again. Curses. He’s tried too many times; it will never be right.
He crosses to the wall, curls up against it. Breathes. Counts to ten, uncurls deliberately; a breathing exercise. Shakes out his hands.YOUNG MAN: This is so fucking stupid.
The man who used to be Lucius Spriggs mourns.

This is hilarious
Sanji’s entire face screws up in disgust and it’s all Zeff can do not to laugh. “Each part of that sentence was more terrible than the last. Please stop talking.”
“If you’re not going to give me any details I’m going to have to come up with them on my own.”
“Ugh - fine, damnit.” Sanji heaves a put upon sigh. “We’ve been together since just after the mess on Whole Cake Island. It turned out he had a number of things to say about me running off to get married. Most of them rude.”
“Can’t say I blame him for that,” Zeff growls. “I’m assuming this goes without saying, but that was some of the stupidest shit you’ve ever pulled. Which is impressive to say the least.”
“Wow, can we not?” Sanji asks. “I’m well aware of the fucking nightmare I caused everybody, but it’s over and done with. The end.”
“Fine,” Zeff agrees, willing to allow him the out just this once. “Then tell me more about this relationship of yours. Like, for one, why the rest of your crew doesn’t seem to know it exists.”
“Oh that,” Sanji says, surprising Zeff by laughing. “Yeah, there’s a very simple explanation for that.”
“Do tell.”
“Easy,” and here Sanji’s expression shifts to one Zeff remembers well from his years as an obnoxious teenager, the one that says ‘I am going to cause trouble deliberately today and I am going to enjoy it’, “because it’s fucking hilarious.”
Zeff stares at him, slowly letting those words sink in. “I have failed you as a parent.”
“Eh, I was a lost cause long before you ever got your hands on me.” Sanji waves an errant hand, unconcerned, and then flashes him a sly grin. “We’ve been taking bets on who ends up cracking first if you want in.”
Zeff considers this. “I’d say best odds fall with your navigator,” he says, remembering the look on her face from the first day. “That one’s about ready to start cracking skulls together if that’s what it takes.”
“Definitely a viable option,” Sanji agrees, “though I often lean towards Usopp caving under pressure. Zoro, for some inexplicable reason, is convinced it’s going to be Robin, but he’s an idiot.”
