Same, the only thing that kinda came off that way to me was the bit about him always being an annoying self-serving bastard. Which Sanji should know is complete BS, given that the first major thing he ever witnessed Luffy do was fight Don Krieg solely because of how much Zeff meant to Sanji. Sure you can argue that pretty much all of Luffy's major victories over series antagonists have been related to recruiting/keeping someone, but in every case Luffy's own personal sense of justice and friendship with these people has trumped the cause of just getting one more for the crew. There's always been some other major issue involved that generally endangers the innocent citizens of a country as a whole.

Everything else Sanji said just seemed to be him blowing smoke (pun intended), rather than an actual issue with Luffy. "Dirt poor pirates", "lowly thugs", "your ugly face offends me", "its embarassing being associated with you", c'mon. He's done and said too much over his career as a Straw Hat for those quips to be believable, so I'm still not seeing why Nami couldn't pierce the veil. She's at least heard by now of the amount of influence the Vinsmokes have, and he clearly stated when it first came up that it was part of his past that he meant to bury. So if he's all of a sudden acting completely different in THEIR presence only, I'd think that should tip her off that something's up.
