Sanji

Lean and well built, Sanji is a tall blond whose hair reaches his jaw and falls across one half of his face. He kept it over the left side until the two-year gap in the story, after which he flipped the style to cover his right eye and let the cut grow scruffier. The oddest detail about him sits at his eyebrows, each one ending in a curl that spirals in the rotation opposite to those of his Vinsmoke siblings, though that direction has inverted briefly during certain battles. His eyes usually read black, yet the anime has occasionally tinted them grey-blue. A cigarette is rarely absent from his lips.

For everyday wear he favors a sharp black double-breasted suit with gold buttons, a tie, a long-sleeved shirt whose color rotates, a gray double-prong belt, and tough black dress shoes engineered to boost the force of his kicks. In childhood he dressed in a yellow shirt marked with a three. The series changes his outfit far more often than those of his crewmates, ranging from desert robes during Arabasta and bright prints in Skypiea to a frilled shirt and royal cape at Whole Cake Island, the high-tech Raid Suit in Wano, and Viking-style armor in Elbaph.

What drives Sanji above all is the hunt for the All Blue, a fabled body of water where the four seas and their wildlife are rumored to meet, the ultimate dream for any cook. He is reckoned one of the crew's three heaviest hitters, the trio jokingly called the Monster Trio that also includes Luffy and Zoro. A habitual smoker, he carries the polish of a trained chef and refuses on principle to fight with his hands, keeping them reserved for the kitchen.

Within the Vinsmoke Family he arrived as their fourth child and third-born son, a position that briefly made him royalty of the Germa Kingdom. Twice he cut himself loose from that bloodline, once during his boyhood and once again as an adult after their paths crossed under unhappy circumstances. Running from the Vinsmokes while young, he ended up in Zeff's care and worked the kitchen of the floating restaurant Baratie as sous chef, staying there until Luffy talked him into joining the crew as its fifth member and fourth recruit. His wanted poster value rose by stages: 77 million berries for the Enies Lobby raid, then 177 million after Dressrosa, briefly stamped Only Alive because of his father's interference, climbing to 330 million once he slipped out of Big Mom's domain, and finally passing one billion in the wake of Onigashima.
