Sanji Story
Born Vinsmoke #3, Sanji is tortured by his genetically modified brothers and locked in a dungeon with an iron mask. Escapes with Reiju, washes up at Baratie, trains under Zeff, who saves him by eating his own leg. Joins Luffy after Krieg arc, vowing to find All Blue.
His fiery voyage:
- East Blue: Black Leg debut, feeds Gin.
- WCI Arc: Vinsmoke truth, raid suit, Ifrit Jambe vs. Queen.
- Wano: Germ lineage awakens, rejects family, saves Momo.
- Egghead (2025): Kicks Kizaru, protects Vegapunk, bounty jumps to 1B+.
Sannji’s creed: “A real man never lets a lady go hungry.”
