Sanji

Sanji is a pirate and the chef of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is the fifth member of the crew and the fourth to join. Since he was born in North Blue, he is the first Straw Hat not to originate from East Blue. Being labeled as one of the "Monster Trio," he's one of the top three fighters in the crew, the other two being Luffy and Zoro. His dream is to find the rumored All Blue which is where East Blue, West Blue, North Blue, and South Blue meet.

Appearance
Sanji is a slim, long-legged, young man with blond hair, often well-dressed, and keeps his hair brushed over one side of his face. For the initial part of the series, this side was the left side. Due to his left eye not being seen, many fans have questioned the assumption that he has one at all. In the manga it was usually covered one way or another, but is seen in the anime (episodes 21, 27, 82, 128 and Movie 6 although usually very briefly and most likely due to animation errors). Later, after the two year timeskip, he switched his hairstyle so that it covers the right side.

Among Sanji's physical traits are his distinctive eyebrows. Both form a spiral but at different ends. His right eyebrow forms a spiral at the outer end, while his left eyebrow forms a spiral at the inner end. Basically, his face is asymmetrical with the position of his eyebrow spirals. This however is not fully seen due to his hairstyle. He still however gets very upset if somebody, usually Zoro, chooses to point out the spiral that is seen. A note is that in the anime, sometimes on rare occasions Sanji's other eye was seen prior to chapter 598, however the spiral was not seen.

Sanji almost always wears a black, double-breasted suit with a tie and long-sleeved, buttoned shirts of varying colors, usually orange, blue or black, with or without pinstripes. His fashion changes at times, like in the Water 7 Arc where he had no suit jacket, but a black vest over an orange, pinstriped shirt. He also wears dress shoes, mostly for his Black Leg martial arts. These shoes are extremely durable, and were designed to increase the power of his attacks, though he can very well attack without them as he did against Kuroobi. Sanji is also a chain-smoker and is rarely seen without a cigarette. During the Straw Hats' separation, Sanji starts to dress exactly like a typical okama complete with a wig and heavy makeup though reverts to his usual outfit and appearance off screen sometime after. He is also seen to wear a orange shade in Arabasta arc.

According to Oda, Sanji most resembles a goose, is identified by the color blue, and smells of seafood and cigarette smoke.

On the thumb of his right hand, Sanji has three small scars from when he cut himself peeling apples.

After the 2 year time-skip, Sanji now covers his right eye, shows his left eye, and has grown his hair just slightly longer. He also grew a dark goatee and stubble on his upper lip. Both his left and right eyebrow are curled to the right. He wears a black and yellow 3-piece suit.
