Sanji is also known to have an enamored personality, constantly flirting with any attractive woman he

sees, earning him the nickname "ero-cook". Even as a child, while working in Baratie, Sanji would
become love-struck with attractive female customers and end up making mistakes in the process of
cooking. He also shows jealousy towards those that he perceives to be luckier than him with women,
such as when he sees Zoro with Hiyori.[11] Despite this nature, Sanji exhibits some self-restraint due
to his loyalty to his crew, as is shown by the fact that in spite of being attracted to Pudding, he
sternly refused to marry her and decided to let her down gently.[12] Moreover, due to this attitude and
the multiple lectures from Zeff, Sanji follows his own strict set of personal morals in the form of
chivalry. He has sworn to never attack women or let them be insulted, even at the cost of his own life
and has gone so far as to only block against Kalifa, one of the main antagonists of the Enies Lobby
Arc, until Nami could help him.[13] However Sanji did not ask for help after growing up with an abusive
biological father who never heeded his cries for help, Sanji never asks for help during the present-
day series until the Wano Arc, where he asks Nico Robin to save him from a woman antagonist who
he refuses to help. This is due to the greater vulnerability and acceptance of himself after Luffy
saves him from an arranged marriage during the Whole Cake Island Arc.[14][15]
Sanji is kind and often saves others in danger, even at the cost of his own safety. Oftentimes he
frames this kindhearted nature as mere chivalry towards women, but in his actions he consistently
helps men as well. Having suffered from starvation among the litany of abuse put upon him by his
father, he never denies a person a meal regardless of their intentions, as shown when Don Krieg
attempted to take over the Baratie during his introductory arc. Frequently during the series he
separates himself from everyone else to play a clandestine role which subsequently helps the crew
and other allies survive. In Water 7, Sanji separates from the crew and finds Nico Robin boarding the
Puffing Tom on its way to Enies Lobby for her execution.[16] In Thriller Bark, he offers to give up his
life in exchange for Luffy's.[17] In Zou, Sanji decided to leave the crew in order to confront his family
and protect the Straw Hats from the Fire Tank Pirates.[18] In Wano, Sanji asks for help from another
for the first time when he asks Robin to save him.[14][15]

During the timeskip, he develops Observation Haki, which allows him to sense the intent and
presence of others, such as when he was able to dodge a jelly bean bullet from Katakuri. [27] He is
also able to utilize Armament Haki, which allows him to harden parts of his body and be able to
attack Logia users.[28]
