Vinsmoke Family

The Vinsmoke Family is an infamous family of killers in the Underworld that Sanji hails from.

Members
The family is known to consist of a father and at least three sons, with Sanji being the third. The father is an infamous man throughout the New World.

History
Sometime when he was nine years old or younger, Sanji migrated across the Red Line from North Blue to East Blue, a considerable journey, given the geographic circumstances. Sanji had been separated from his family since he was nine years old at the latest. He was on a cruise ship that was attacked by the Cook Pirates and sank in a storm. Sanji and the pirate captain, Zeff, were marooned on an island, where they almost starved to death. After their rescue, Sanji worked under Zeff as they built the Baratie, with Sanji becoming the sous chef.

Ten years later, he left Baratie to join the Straw Hat Pirates, taking part in their pirate activities and earning the attention of the World Government. When he received his first bounty, there was no photograph of him, so a crude drawing was used instead. When Sanji received his second bounty two years later, it had a picture of his real face, and for some reason he is now only wanted alive. Sanji did not want to explore his past with his family ever again, and was shocked when it was brought up later.

The father of the Vinsmoke Family arranged Sanji to marry the 35th daughter of the Charlotte Family, Purin. Sanji believed that his parents were also responsible for him being only wanted alive. With the intention of putting an end to his past, Sanji reluctantly went to the wedding.
