Of course you can. The media provides a lot of intentional and unintentional misinformation. If we were to judge things from the perspective of an average citizen in the world of One Piece, how the hell would we know where the crew has secretly headed to? We are an external audience and we can tell between what the news says and how Sanji and his crew consider him.

If all the average citizens in the One Piece world, they'd be bawling their eyes out (One Piece style ofc) and would say "whis iz da sawwest stowwy dat ibe ebeh head (this is the saddest story that I've ever heard)" and goddamn call him just Sanji.

Like, let's take another example. A (in) famous wife one day loses her husband. She tells all of her closest that she has dropped her surname, because she can't bear to be know by the other name. Everybody understand. The whole world doesn't know of that change though. She is a new, different person after the death of her husband and the name dropping is an action that symbolises that change. Will you really use her full name when writing an article about her based on knowing all the facts simply because random strangers who have no relationship with her whatsoever still know her based on her full name?
