Nami does care for Sanji a lot and Robin seems to be polite, but against anything that these considers an indignity. I agree that Sanji does seem to use his care for women as the closest thing to a power-up we see considering that he would burst into flames when something happened to one of them. Zoro is supported by people because he is considered "cool" or "a badass" as far as I can tell. Zoro doesn't use unnecessary force against those weaker than him in general and he has a weakness where Tashigi is concerned. As for them wanting to forget his beliefs, he said so himself, he would rather die than live in a way that makes Zeff ashamed of him. It takes conviction to hold fast to your beliefs when it is difficult. It is a form of strength in my opinion that one can live their beliefs when it is difficult to do so. Pudding was an unfortunate case where her own inner demons were the cause of her cruelty along with what her mother has instilled in her. Sanji managed to bring out the best in her. That is a trait that Luffy has shown as well.
