He knows where is Nami but can do nothing without Luffy's strength.

While he is ok to depart, Sanji, to the surprise of every one, decides to go with them and become the Straw Hat Chef. It seems he change his mind when he heard that everybody wants him to depart. As to confort his decision, Zeff tells him that he regrets to have let him live. Sanji decision then looks like fine for everybody.
