A native to the North Blue, Sanji grew up as part of the Vinsmoke family under his father Vinsmoke Judge, king of the Germa Kingdom, and mother Vinsmoke Sora.[4] Living under a grueling father who only saw Sanji as a soldier, he escapes to Baratie where he learns to cook under “Red Foot” Zeff[5] and learns his fighting style, which is characterized by the use of legs in combat. Although his demeanor mostly consist of him being calm and collected, he is also shown to have a heavy attraction to beautiful women, as exemplified via the hearts in his eyes. Sanji is the fifth member and the fourth to join Monkey D. Luffy’s pirate crew as cook after the battle against Don Krieg.
