One Piece is a hugely popular pirate-themed manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. It's a story about the main character, Monkey D. Luffy, who adventures across the seas with his crew, visiting various islands in his quest to become the Pirate King. This time, we'll be introducing Vinsmoke Sanji, the cook and one of the Straw Hat Pirates' top-class crew members.
Vinsmoke Sanji, the Woman-Loving Chef
Vinsmoke Sanji is a pirate with yellow hair covering one eye and curly eyebrows. He serves as the cook for the Straw Hat Pirates. His bounty is 330 million berries after his battle with Big Mom. He is a heavy smoker and often smokes during battle and cooking. He was formerly a chef at the floating restaurant Baratie in East Blue, earning him the nickname "Black Leg Sanji."
Vinsmoke Sanji's Charming Personality
Vinsmoke Sanji has a very kind and gentlemanly personality. He is especially kind to women and becomes smitten with beautiful women. In the Straw Hat Pirates, he is especially kind to Nami and Robin, making them sweets and giving them to them. He has also decided not to kick women in battle, and will not attack them himself, even if he is attacked.
The Surprising Relationship Between Vinsmoke Sanji
So far, we've focused on Vinsmoke Sanji's personal life. So, what kind of people are around Vinsmoke Sanji, and what kind of relationships do they have? Let's take a closer look.
Zeff the Red Legged, his chef's mentor and foster father
Vinsmoke Sanji ran away from the Vinsmoke family at a young age and worked as a chef in a restaurant. There he meets the pirate Zeff the Red Legged, and by chance they end up stranded on a deserted island. After escaping, he opens the restaurant Baratie. From there, he learns cooking from Zeff and continues to hone his culinary skills. Like Zeff, he aims to find All Blue, where all the fish in the sea reside.
The Infamous Vinsmoke Family
Sanji Vinsmoke is the third son of the Vinsmoke family, a murderous clan that long ago conquered the North Sea through military force. The Germa Kingdom wields so much power and influence that it has been granted permission to participate in the World Conference (Reverie), and its notoriety is known throughout the world. While everyone else in the Germa Kingdom was rendered emotionless by his father, Vinsmoke Judge, Sanji is the only one who retains his emotions thanks to his mother.
The Secret to Vinsmoke Sanji's Strength
Having looked at Vinsmoke Sanji's various relationships, we now know more about his friendships. The next thing we need to focus on is his strength. Even among the Straw Hat Pirates, where many characters have high bounties, Vinsmoke Sanji has one of the highest bounties and is highly regarded for his strength. So what kind of techniques does he use?
A blindingly powerful kick combo
As a chef, Vinsmoke Sanji's hands are not injured, so he fights exclusively with kicks. His incredibly strong legs also give him great mobility, allowing him to jump and run in the air and move freely in water. Like Vinsmoke Saint Luffy and Zoro, he has mastered Haki, and can freely control his Observation Haki to predict his opponents' movements. His powerful attack technique, "Demonic Wind Kick" (Diable Jambe), involves spinning his legs at the speed of light and wrapping them in flames.
Summary of the Charms of the Kind-Hearted Cook, Vinsmoke Sanji
This time, we've taken a detailed look at the charms of Vinsmoke Sanji, one of the strongest members of the Straw Hat Pirates. While Vinsmoke Sanji is usually doting on women and often has a pathetic side, his pride as a cook and his chivalrous spirit toward women are both cool and charming. Furthermore, his intelligence is also appealing, as he uses his quick wits to save his allies from danger in important battle scenes.
