I love it. There's a theory that Sanji is a long lost Prince from a rather important kingdom, and he ran away as a child. He's never allowed a full picture of himself on the wanted posters because he knows there are very specific people looking for him.

Jaya Arc - Sanji mentions that he knows about Noland's story from the North Blue. When he says that he was born there, he says "didn't i tell you guys?" as if he was trying to cover something up. The other crewmembers quickly call him out for never having mentioned this.

Long Ring Lond Land (something) - Sanji is the "ball man", and the hat he wears resembles vertical red & white stripes on the Lvneel Kingdom castle.

Thriller Bark - His zombie reincarnation wears the exact same hat, althouth a little bigger. As part of his explanation as to why Kuma should take his life instead of Zoro's, Sanji states that pretty soon he will be the person to cause the WG the most trouble. He worded that rather specifically.......we know how much Oda loves foreshadowing.

Dressrosa - Noland is mentioned again, for his history with the Tontatta. The Lvneel Kingdom is shown again during Law & Cora's flashback.

Additional - Lvneel is in the North Blue. Sanji chose the name "Mr. Prince" inherently "randomly" when speaking to Crocodile on Little Garden. Just like the Chinjao family are the only Chinese references we have so far, Sanji has been the only character that frequently has French references. The only other French references made so far in the show is the family name "Montblanc", which also originates from Lvneel. We get NO explanation whatsoever how a small child with no family is just chilling on a boat trying to become a chef. Of everyone else' backstories so far, we have the least on Sanji by a LONG shot. His attitude towards women has never been explained, and things that are THAT deep-rooted ALWAYS have a cause. He ran away for a reason, and some traumatizing event involving a woman close to him is a good hypothesis as to part of the explanation.

So overall, I'm most convinced is Lvneel, but I'm pretty sure ran away from somewhere, and he was a rather valuable person in said place. Most likely a prince or royal figure. This country having an affiliation with the WG (i.e. Lvneel) would be the perfect explanation as to why they'd want Sanji back alive.

Addendum: Usopp's statute in Dressrosa has made my day. I'm pretty sure this "Jack" is Kaido's henchman, which is a perfect explanation as to why he'd want Mingo. It kinda hurts my theory that he's the 7th Shichibukai, since I don't see why with a ship like that the WG would be oblivious to his relationsip with Kaido, but they're also not showing this guys face for a reason. Jack might be a character we actually know already, using some kind of mask/alias. His shadow was intentionally left out, and you could go on for days about all the real-life pirates with the name Jack that he could be based off of. Can he handle Fujitora? Beat him, who knows, but hold his ground, probably most likely. Not that Sengoku and Tsuru are pushovers, but he certainly seems to have a plan. I think he will succeed, as I'm much more inclined to believe that Kaido's gonna kill Mingo than have him rot in Impel Down for the rest of the series.
