Vinsmoke Sanji (Japanese: ヴィンスモーク・サンジ, Hepburn: Vinsumōku Sanji)

Two years later, the 10-year-old Sanji came to work as a ship's cook on the Orbit. One day, "Red Leg" Zeff, a pirate, and his crew, attacked the ship. However, both ships were caught in a sudden storm and sank. Zeff managed to save the young Sanji from drowning. Before the storm tore the boats apart, Sanji had cried out his dream to find the All Blue, which was why he was saved by Zeff afterwards. After the storm, the two were washed onto a rock outcropping, high above the sea. Despite their good fortune, there was little food for them: a few rations had washed onto the rock with them, but there was no vegetation, no animals, and no way to reach the water to fish. Splitting up what little rations remained, Zeff ordered Sanji to sit at the other end of the island to look for a ship. Sanji protested that Zeff was keeping a large sack for himself, but Zeff brushed him off, saying that as an adult, his stomach was bigger. Days passed, and Sanji had no more food, but there was still no sign of a ship. Many weeks afterward, an emaciated Sanji decided to take a chance to kill Zeff for his food. He did not kill the old man, but when he slashed open the old man's sack in a fit of rage, he discovered that there was no food inside, only treasure. To his horror, he realized that Zeff had given him all the rations, and had eaten his own leg to survive. Zeff confessed that he often lacked food on the high seas and planned on opening a restaurant on the seas. Sanji, guilty over plotting to kill Zeff, agreed to help, but Zeff remarked that he was too weak. Soon after, a ship appeared, and they were spared from death. Because of this ordeal, Sanji pledged to never refuse food to a starving individual, no matter how evil or poor they may be. Sanji began smoking shortly after starting to work at the Baratie in order to impress Zeff, despite Zeff's warnings that it would destroy his taste buds, only for Sanji to reply "Now, I am a man!". Sanji subsequently spent the next nine years working aboard the Baratie as its sous-chef, during which time he vastly improved his cooking under Zeff's tutelage while also developing tremendous physical abilities and his signature kicked-based martial arts style under the latter's guidance.

Straw Hat Pirates

While doubling as a waiter one day since the rest had jumped ship, Sanji served a particular couple at the Baratie – Marine Lieutenant Fullbody and his lady friend, Moodie. Though Sanji served them well, his dismissiveness towards Fullbody made the Marine lose face in front of his date and the other customers. Angered, Fullbody dared to pick a fight with Sanji. Sanji on the other hand, upon seeing Fullbody waste the food prepared for him out of frustration, beat the Marine up. As the situation intensified with Patty coming, Sanji was suddenly confronted by Zeff who was at the moment dealing with some trouble. Luffy, seeing the mess that Sanji stirred up, Zeff immediately got into the argument as well. Just as things were going crazy as usual in the Baratie, a new development arrived. The prisoner that Fullbody and his men captured, Gin, had escaped and was then demanding food from the restaurant. Though dangerous, the starving pirate however was denied food from the other chefs and was kicked out of the restaurant. While his fellow chefs denied the pirate food, Sanji however gave the starving man food for which he gratefully ate. Luffy, who was witnessing Sanji at the time, was impressed by such a kind act and decided to invite Sanji to join his crew. Despite Luffy's offer, Sanji refused due to his own personal debt to Zeff. After seeing Gin off, Sanji went back to work and glanced upon one of Luffy's crew members, Nami. Seeing such a beauty, he declared his willingness to become a pirate as long as he was with her. Though the declaration was mere flirtation, the scene however intensified when Zeff butted in. After a brief argument between the two chefs, Sanji continued his flirting with Nami and gave a bad impression to Usopp with his womanizing nature. Two days after the incident with Gin, Sanji and the rest of Baratie witnessed a fearful sight before them. Though wrecked, the ship, the Dreadnaught Sabre, came before them. The ship belonged to Don Krieg, the pirate captain that Gin served under. With the knowledge of Baratie being a floating restaurant, Gin brought a starving Don Krieg and his crew before Sanji and the other chefs. As before all the chefs but Sanji refused to give food to such a dangerous person. However, no sooner had Krieg finished the food that Sanji gave him and regained his strength, the pirate showed his true colors. Demanding food for his men, Sanji complied with Krieg's request. However because Krieg also demanded the Baratie, Sanji's efforts were hindered by the other chefs. Though Sanji's efforts to give food were hindered, Zeff instead gave food for Krieg's men.

After a lengthy discussion, Sanji and the rest of the chefs of Baratie prepared for upcoming battle. Luffy, spurred by the turn of events, decided to join Sanji in defending the restaurant. However, before anything could happen, Don Krieg's ship was suddenly sliced up before the eyes of Sanji and the rest. Finding out that these new turn of events was caused by Mihawk of the Shichibukai, Sanji and the rest then witnessed momentarily a battle between this legend and one of Luffy's crewmembers, Roronoa Zoro. Though Zoro was skillful, Sanji and the rest witness Luffy's companion fall to the master swordsman. As the battle ended and they witnessed Luffy's Devil Fruit powers, Sanji and rest heard Zoro's vow to Luffy. With that finished, Sanji and the rest were able to concentrate on the battle with Krieg's forces. With his fighting skills learned from Zeff, Sanji was able to defeat a great deal of Krieg's men. One amongst them however was different from the rest. Pearl, the so called invincible wall, was significantly stronger than them. Made fiercer by a blunder by Luffy, Pearl proved to be a real threat to Sanji. Despite this, Sanji was still able to handle his own against this tough opponent. Though Sanji was getting the upper hand against this opponent, in the midst of their battle however, a new surprise developed. As Sanji and the others were fighting, Gin snuck up on Zeff and took the old man hostage. With this, Sanji was asked to surrender. Gin continued to hold Zeff hostage. He negotiated with Sanji and Don Krieg to let the chefs leave the Baratie. However, Sanji is unable to accept the terms due to the honor debt he felt he owed to Zeff for saving his life as a small boy. Sanji refused to let Zeff give up another one of his treasures. Seeing this behavior, the other chefs asked Sanji what he meant by this. As he was being attacked by Pearl who took the opportunity for some payback, Sanji explained to them that in the past, Zeff sacrificed everything, including his own leg, so that he could live. Sanji explained to them all that it was his obligation to Zeff. With this, Sanji stood still and took all of Pearl's attacks, ready to die for the Baratie. As Sanji was being attacked however, Luffy did something unexpected. Luffy broke part of the Baratie much to everyone's surprise. Angered by this sudden action, Sanji asked why. In response, Luffy told him that since the ship was the goal of Krieg and his men, destroying it would be the solution to the problem. Luffy also explained to him that Zeff did not save Sanji's life so that he could throw it away for the ship. As they were talking about all this, Pearl decided to attack once more. However before Pearl could strike Sanji and Luffy, Gin suddenly defeated him. Explaining himself to Krieg, Gin stated that he will be the one to finish off Sanji.

Told that this was a special honor for the food that he gave Gin, Sanji battled with the pirate. Despite his skill, Sanji was overpowered by Gin due to being hindered from his earlier injuries. However, just as Gin was about to land the final blow, Sanji found himself before a supposedly heartless pirate unable to kill. Because of Sanji's previous kindness, his opponent was not able to bring himself to finish the job. While this saved Sanji from being bludgeoned by Gin, it angered Don Krieg. Krieg fired his MH5 bomb at them and Luffy threw Sanji and Gin two masks to protect themselves from the poison. Luffy also finds a mask for himself at the last second. When the smoke clears, they realize Gin had been poisoned, having thrown Luffy his mask to save him. With this turn of events, Sanji told the other chefs to help the poisoned Gin. As they were helping Gin, Sanji noticed an angered Luffy decide to go against Krieg. He then watched the two fight. As the battle raged, Sanji was told by Zeff to watch Luffy carefully. With every turn of the fight, Sanji was amazed at Luffy's determination against difficult odds. In the end, Sanji and the others witnessed Luffy do the impossible – break Don Krieg's famed impenetrable armor. Though this was a deciding blow, Sanji and the others saw that Krieg still had a few tricks. While this did not deter Luffy from ultimately defeating Don Krieg, the outcome however caused the young pirate captain to fall into the water. Seeing this and being told of Luffy's weakness, Sanji dove in and rescued Luffy. After a few moments with a slightly less poisoned Gin, Sanji gave the defeated crew of Don Krieg a little boat in which they can use to retreat in. With everything done, Sanji awaited an unconscious Luffy to tell all that happened. Though Sanji still refused to go with Luffy when he woke up, he however shared with him about his dream. As Sanji and Luffy then decided to have a well deserved meal, they came before a surprising incident. Apparently, every chef there thought that Sanji's soup was disgusting. Though this got to Sanji, in truth, they were just making an excuse so that Sanji could go with Luffy and fulfill his dream of finding the All Blue. Due to Nami taking the Going Merry during the battle with Don Krieg, Luffy's crew and traveling companions were forced to part midway and thus unable to fully aid Sanji and the rest. With Yosaku back, the bounty hunter asked Luffy to come with him back to the others for an urgent matter. As Luffy decided to accompany him, Sanji finally decided to become Luffy's chef. After a few moments with the other chefs and with himself, Sanji packed his stuff and went to go with Luffy and Yosaku. As he was leaving, Sanji was met with one last surprise. Zeff, a man who usually belittled Sanji one way or another, asked Sanji to take care of himself. Completely moved by this, Sanji fell to his knees crying and thanked Zeff for everything he done for him, however he thanked while "insulting" them as he is a foul mouthed most of the time. With an emotional Baratie behind, Sanji left with Luffy and Yosaku aboard his small ship, the Shimashima Shopping.

While Johnny, Usopp, and Zoro were on their own, Sanji, Luffy and Yosaku headed to meet up with the rest of the crew. Yosaku told Luffy and Sanji about fish-people. Ignoring him, Luffy began doodling what he imagined fish-people look liked, to Sanji's amusement, and what Nami would look like if she was a mermaid. Sanji then cooked lunch for the crew. They were interrupted by the arrival of Momoo, a Grand Line beast who was looking for food. Keeping to his oath, Sanji attempted to fed Momoo, but then swiftly kicked him when Momoo attempted to eat his hand. Using Momoo to lead their boat toward Arlong Park, the three were flung right into Zoro. Johnny found them shortly after, claiming to have seen Usopp get stabbed to death by Nami. Before he and Yosaku left, Nami showed up and Sanji greeted her in an ecstatic manner, causing Zoro to insult him, but Sanji retaliated that his "Love is a Hurricane". Nami then confirmed the facts of Usopp's "death", which caused Zoro to attack her and Sanji to defend her. Still actually alive, Usopp ran to meet up with the gang. Luffy slept and Zoro commented on his own views of Nami, which made Sanji become enraged and the two prepared to fight, only to have Usopp's face come in between the impact. Nojiko appeared, and after Sanji claimed she had to be Nami's sister because they are both so beautiful, she decided to tell the crew about Nami's past to make sure they do not make things worse for Nami, though only Sanji and Usopp agreed to listen. Once Nami broke down after Arlong's betrayal and asked Luffy for help, Sanji, Usopp, and Zoro joined him on the march to Arlong Park. Hatchi summoned Momoo once again to attack the pirates. However, Sanji and the pirates were unimpressed as they had already fought Momoo. Luffy grabbed Momoo and spun his body at the rest of the Arlong Pirates, knocking most of them out. Luffy found his feet stuck in the cement due to the blow and was defenseless. The fish-men threw a boulder at Luffy and Sanji shattered it with a kick to protect his friend. The Straw Hat Pirates each squared off against one of Arlong's officers. After Usopp began his fearful run from Chew, Sanji became distracted watching Zoro fight Hachi and took a powerful punch from Kuroobi and blown from the impact through a wall many yards away. Sanji got back up after Zoro's fight was done, claiming that Kuroobi's strength did not compare to the kicks he received from Zeff. In order to save Luffy from drowning, Sanji dove into the pool. Kuroobi followed Sanji into the water, demonstrating that Sanji's movement is slowed down underwater, while fish-people remain unaffected, if not stronger, by beating him up and preventing him from surfacing. Grabbing Sanji, Kuroobi pulled Sanji up, then downed quickly so that the severe change in water pressure would crush Sanji's body. Thinking quickly, Sanji remembered that fish die when their gills are blocked. Sanji did this and escaped from his grasp. After assuring Zoro that Luffy was alive, Sanji challenged Kuroobi to a battle on land. Kuroobi accepted but was quickly defeated by Sanji's kicks. He and Zoro then fought against Arlong, but the two were both defeated, agreeing that only Luffy could win. While Zoro kept Arlong distracted, and with minor interference by Hatchan, Sanji dove back into the water and freed Luffy's body. He, Nojiko, and Genzo then watched Luffy battle Arlong. After the destruction of the park, Sanji and the Straw Hats celebrated with the locals. They took off once more for the Grand Line with Nami officially joining them.

After regaining Nami, Sanji and his fellow crewmates sailed towards the Grand Line. Along the way, they decided to stop by Loguetown for last minute supplies for the journey ahead. Knowing the need of his fellow pirates, Sanji bought some food, among which was an Elephant Tuna. Though the shopping trip was relatively uneventful, something suddenly happened as the day went on. Sanji's captain had suddenly been captured. In the midst of their trip around Loguetown, Sanji's captain had been captured by an old foe of his, Buggy. Having been caught by this old foe, Luffy was going to be executed by Buggy on the same execution platform that Gol D. Roger died on. Seeing Luffy in danger, Sanji and Zoro immediately tried to rescue their captain. Though they were not able to reach Luffy in time, Luffy was nonetheless miraculously saved by a bolt of lightning. Regardless of how it happened, Sanji regrouped with his fellow crewmates to escape from Buggy and the Marines stationed in Loguetown. As Sanji and his two companions were escaping, they were momentarily stopped by Captain Smoker. Despite the brief road bump and the sudden appearance of a mysterious storm, Sanji and the rest were able to regroup back on the Going Merry to begin their new journey into the Grand Line. As the Straw Hats sailed through the storm, Sanji pulled out a barrel for which he and his fellow crewmates could have a little ceremony. Swearing their dreams upon breaking the barrel, the Straw Hats sailed towards the Grand Line.

Grand Line

After going through a storm and a slight detour, Sanji and the rest of the Straw Hats went up the Reverse Mountain to enter the Grand Line. Though they were able to successfully climb up the mountain, they unfortunately hit a snag as they entered the Grand Line, a giant whale was blocking the entrance. While Sanji and the rest of the crew were able to stop the ship just in time, Luffy's special seat however was broken in the process. Due to the ensuing reaction that came from Sanji's captain from this, Sanji and the rest of the crew except Luffy unfortunately got swallowed by the whale in retaliation. Within the whale's stomach, Sanji and his fellow pirates found out that an old guy named Crocus had made his home within the whale. From him not only did they learn that of a way out of the whale, but also of the whale's story. The heavily scarred whale, Laboon, was bashing his head on the Red Line in hopes of being reunited with a group of pirates that left him fifty years ago. While Sanji and the rest could not do anything about this problem, Sanji's captain however gave the whale some new hope to look forward to. After the situation with Laboon and getting some antics involving on how to travel the Grand Line, Sanji and the rest of the crew's company was soon joined by two more, the beautiful Miss Wednesday and Mr. 9. The two were suspicious looking people that tried to take Laboon's meat earlier. Through certain circumstances, they required the aid of the Straw Hats in getting back to their home at Whisky Peak. Despite the suspicious nature of the individuals, Sanji and the rest took the two aboard.

Due to the unpredictable weather of the Grand Line, Sanji ended up shoveling snow on board the Going Merry. Soon afterward, he had to help control the ship upon learning that it had turned 180 degrees, and when the weather changed once more, he prepared onigiri to keep everyone's energy up. After much toil, Sanji and the rest of the crew managed to stabilize the ship, but were unable to move from sheer exhaustion. Eventually, the crew reached Whisky Peak, where he noted that there was a good chance they would encounter some monsters since they were in the Grand Line. Sanji was surprised when they encountered people cheering at the sight of pirates. Upon being told that this was a town of welcoming and celebration, Sanji Luffy, and Usopp immediately agreed to share tales of their adventures with the townsfolk. That night, Sanji managed to flirt with 20 women at once, to the amazement of onlookers. Eventually, believing that this was a wonderful town, he passed out after drinking a large amount of alcohol. Later, after the Straw Hats were put on the hit list of Baroque Works, Sanji and Usopp were violently woken up by Luffy, who dragged them out of the building they were sleeping in all the way to their ship. Once the rest of the Straw Hats and Vivi arrived, Sanji demanded to know why they were leaving such a nice town, only to be punched by Nami to shut him up. When Nico Robin appeared on the ship as Miss All-Sunday, Sanji and Usopp confronted her, with Sanji pointing a pistol at her head, but Robin threw them away with her powers, at which point Sanji saw her face and realized she was beautiful. After Vivi explained the situation to him, Sanji noted he still had a chance to shine before promising to protect her.

After some sailing, Sanji and the rest of the crew reached their next destination, Little Garden. Noting that they did not properly restock their food supply while in Whisky Peak, Sanji hoped that they get properly resupply in this jungle island. As most of the crew was going out to explore, Sanji asked Zoro to get some meat. The simple request however turned into a heated squabble as Zoro proclaimed that he would do so since he could retrieve more than Sanji anyways. Spurred by this, Sanji challenged Zoro to a hunting competition to see who could catch the bigger prey. With this, the both of them went into the jungle to hunt. As Sanji ventured through the jungle, he encountered a dinosaur. Defeating it, he returned back to the Going Merry with his prize. However while waiting at the ship as time passed, Sanji noticed that something might be wrong as nobody else but him had returned. Setting out into the jungle once again, Sanji discovered, by chance, a house completely made out of wax for which he momentarily enjoyed a cup of tea in it. As he was leaving, he heard a Den Den Mushi ring. Answering it, he was surprised to find out that he was directly talking to the leader of Baroque Works, Crocodile. Realizing that the house he was in was the base of one Baroque Works' agents, Sanji pretended to be Mr. 3 for whom Crocodile mistook him for. Talking to Crocodile in this guise, Sanji tried to convince the Warlord of the Sea that he had accomplished his mission in eliminating Vivi and the Straw Hat pirates. As he was talking, Sanji was momentarily taken off guard as Mr. 13 and Miss Friday, the Unluckies, appeared. After defeating these two and finishing up his false report to Crocodile, Sanji took the Eternal Pose to Arabasta that was meant to be given to the real Mr. 3 by the Unluckies. Knowing that there were Baroque Works agents on the island, Sanji then rushed off in search for the rest of the crew. Eventually, Sanji regrouped with the rest of the crew together with a pair of giants they befriended. To his joy, Sanji not only found out that both Vivi and Nami were safe, but he also got to see a nice sight from Nami without her shirt on as a result from the battle with Mr. 3 and his group. After explaining things about his talk with Crocodile to the rest of the crew, Sanji revealed to them the Eternal Pose he swiped much to their delight. With this and after a slight argument about who won the hunting competition, Sanji and the rest of the crew set sail for their next destination. With a little help from the giants in defeating a giant goldfish, they were able to finally leave Little Garden.

Afterwards, the crew came to learn that Nami had taken ill. Sanji was one of the most devastated upon hearing that Nami's disease could possibly be fatal. He assured the crew he did everything he could nutritionally, but they would need a doctor to truly help Nami get better. The crew agreed to head to a nearby island for help. Once he and the rest of the Straw Hats arrived on Drum Island in search for a doctor, he decided to depart with Luffy and Nami on their quest to find the witch living in the abandoned castle who could possibly save Nami's life. Along the way, he and Luffy encountered an infant Lapahn, and easily defeated it. However, this invoked the wrath of an entire herd of enormous adult Lapahn, who attempted to assault the two. During the ensuing struggle, Sanji protected Luffy and Nami, at the cost of becoming critically injured. Luffy pulled the injured Sanji out of the snow and was determined to carry them up the mountain. The Lapahns that caused an avalanche were soon helping them reach the top due to Luffy helping a buried Lapahn. The Lapahns fought of Wapol and his men so Luffy could continue to bring Sanji and Nami to the top of the mountain. Upon regaining consciousness, Sanji attempted to capture Chopper, hoping to turn him into a stew for Nami to make her feel better. Once he witnessed Chopper's transformation, though, he expressed shock along with Luffy that the reindeer was a 'monster'. However, once Luffy claimed that he wanted to recruit Chopper into his crew, Sanji seemed to go along with his desire. As Luffy continued to chase after Chopper, Sanji and Nami listened as Dr. Kureha informed them of Chopper's sad past. As she finished her story, Chopper burst into the room, informing her that Wapol had returned. Sanji joined Luffy outside to defeat Wapol and his minions Chess and Kuromarimo. When Luffy ran inside to get Nami's jacket, though, Sanji and Chopper were left to fend for themselves. Kuromarimo launched bits of his hair onto Sanji, which clung onto his body. The hair was then lit on fire by one of Chess's flaming arrows. After Luffy and Chopper began their counter-attack, Dr. Kureha pinned Sanji to the ground, making sure that he did not battle so that he would not agitate his already wounded body. Even without his help, though, Luffy and Chopper managed to deal with the tyrant king and his two followers. After Luffy had defeated Wapol and the rest of the crew joined up with Luffy and Sanji, Chopper approached Luffy and said that he declined his offer to become a pirate. Luffy however told him to shut up and come with him, which got Chopper to join the crew after all. Shortly after the recruitment of Chopper, Sanji and the rest the crew continued their journey with their newfound friend.

Sanji was below deck when the rest of the crew rescued and met Mr. 2 Bon Kurei. When the crew landed, Sanji was apparently assigned to go get desert attire for the crew, which resulted in him buying dancers outfits for Vivi and Nami. Throughout the desert, Sanji got annoyed with Luffy's losing their food. When the Straw Hats came across the Sandora Lizard, Luffy, Zoro and Sanji easily defeated it. Upon reaching Rainbase, the crew separated to escape the Marines. He and Chopper were the only ones who were not captured by Crocodile. After they decimated the Baroque Works Millions, Sanji introduced himself as "Mr. Prince" and made it seem like he had been captured to lure Crocodile outside with a Baby Den Den Mushi. Using Chopper as a decoy, Sanji then somehow destroyed the bridge to Rain Dinners and found Vivi, who was sent to go find help. Upon entering the room in which the crew was held, Sanji fought Bananawani to get the key to the cage the rest of the crew were in. Instead, Sanji kicked Mr. 3's wax-wax ball out of one of them, whom he then 'persuaded' to make a duplicate key. The crew then raced to the Alubarna, the capital of Arabasta, on a Moving Crab. When the crew provided a distraction for the remaining Baroque Works officers agents so Vivi could get past them. Sanji and Chopper were chased by Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas. Sanji left Chopper to go check on Usopp and Matsuge, who were followed by Bon Kurei. Sanji set off to save Vivi from Bon Kurei. He initially had the advantage over Bon Kurei's Okama Kenpo and outright ridiculous use of his Mane Mane no Mi. Bon Kurei then turned into Nami, which he recognized as Sanji's weakness. As Nami, Sanji could not bring himself to attack Bon Kurei. Sanji then saw Bon Kurei's weakness: he could not use his Okama Kenpo in Nami's form. After Bon Kurei uses his swan slippers, the battle reached its peak where Sanji ultimately emerged as the victor over Bon Kurei, which ended the battle. As Bon Kurei was incapable of even moving, he asked Sanji to finish him of. Sanji however said that they had a good fight and did not need to finish him of, which made apparently Bon Kurei very happy. Sanji, however, did kick him and took the goggles which he had stolen from Usopp. After he met up with Vivi and the rest of the crew, he began searching for the bomb which was set to destroy the entire city. After Vivi had found it, he and the rest of the crew assisted Vivi in climbing the tower. When Vivi reached the top of the tower, she took at Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day who were guarding the bomb. She then defused prevented the cannon from firing the bomb. However, this did not end the threat to the city, as the bomb was revealed to be a time bomb and would explode anyway. Pell, however, came and flew the bomb to a safe location, sacrificing his own life while saving his beloved kingdom.

After the bomb had fired, the struggle between the rebels and the king's army went on as if nothing had happened. Which caused Sanji and the rest of the crew to bring the battle to a halt as much as they could. But shortly after Crocodile was defeated, it began raining, which caused the war entirely. As the events unfolded at the battlefield, Sanji and his crewmates took this opportunity to find Luffy, which they later found being carried by the King himself. After the king left Luffy and went to the battlefield to sort things out. Sanji and the rest of the crew all passed out from fatigue. Luffy woke up 3 days later in the palace alongside some of his crewmates. After Luffy and his crew had a banquet with Vivi and several others to celebrate their victory, they went to the bath, where the king properly thanked Luffy and his crewmates. After all the festivities, the crew left silently in the night to continue their journey. As they arrived at the ship, they met up with the previously defeated Bon Kurei, who apparently had protected their ship from being taken away. After the crew told him about their objectives, Bon Kurei offered to go along with them. Shortly after they arrived at the meeting spot they had arranged with Vivi, Hina along with some marines came to capture the Straw Hat Pirates. Bon Kurei pleaded that they should escape as soon as possible, the crew refused however and said that they would wait for their friend. After hearing this, Bon Kurei was touched by their sense of friendship, and offered himself as bait to lure the marines away from the crew, which ultimately got him captured. After Vivi had arrived and told them she would not accompany them on their next journey, she asked them if they would still consider her as one of them to which the entire crew replied by raising their left arms in the air and showed the 'X' mark, which symbolized their friendship. This brought Vivi to tears and she raised her left arm as well. After this, the crew sailed off to continue their journey.
