Zou Arc
Sometime after the Straw Hat Pirates' encounter with the Big Mom Pirates off Dressrosa, Big Mom and Sanji's father arranged a political marriage between Purin and Sanji to unite the bloodlines of the Charlotte and Vinsmoke Families. The wedding is set to take place at one of Big Mom's tea parties.

Totland Arc
Purin first met Sanji sometime before meeting the Straw Hats. They formed a mutual attraction to each other, and Sanji taught Purin a few things about cooking sweets. However, he told her that he could not marry her because it would separate him from his crew.

Three days before the wedding, Purin was on Cacao Island, where she encountered the Sanji retrieval team. When Luffy and Chopper were caught eating her café, Purin came to their defense, saying that they were hired to dismantle her café. She then invited Luffy and his group into her house, where, while conversing with the group, she was shocked to discover Luffy's identity.

Purin was surprised to discover that the group she was conversing with was from the Straw Hat crew while the Sanji retrieval team was also shocked to learn that Purin was Sanji's bride-to-be. As Purin panicked, Pedro quickly restrained Purin while holding a sword to her throat, much to Nami's chagrin. After calming down, Purin explained more about the Charlotte Family and her thoughts about Sanji. Pedro then suggested keeping Purin bound and gagged to ensure that she would not report to Big Mom. However, Purin showed them a secret route to Whole Cake Island and told them where to meet her while promising to bring Sanji to them. Her conversation with the team ended when guards arrived for Purin and she allowed them to sneak away.
