Sanji is the crew's cook but much more: as someone who knows what hunger is, he treats food as sacred. He protects his hands as a cook's tools, so he fights only with his legs — that detail sums up his whole philosophy.
Character traits
Chivalrous, passionate and someone who never raises a hand against a woman. As a child he was rescued while starving to death on a ship; that's why he never turns away a hungry person, even an enemy.
He carries toughness and refinement together: both a lethal fighter and an elegant chef.
Role in the story
Sanji's story is coming from a cruel family and choosing his own values. He stays loyal not to his blood but to the man (Zeff) who made him human. His arc says choices, not origins, define a person.
His rivalry with Zoro is one of the series' most beloved comic dynamics.
