This one was also one of my favorite jokes from the anime. Zeff introduction!! He’s one of my favorites when it comes to the crew mates’ family members. The Baratie arc is also one of my favorites when it comes to the arcs that introduced a future crew mate (Not top 1 but in the top 3)
Extremely funny, I don’t remember if this joke was used in the anime but I hope it was, this is brilliant. (Oh, hey, Sanji intro!)
Oda does a great job at power scaling characters immediately after their introduction. Zoro’s strength was talked about extensively before we met him, and here Sanji is shown easily taking care of the marine that himself easily took care of Yosaku and Johnny. Also, super cool panel I have to admit. Here we are faced with Sanji’s iron beliefs. Before that, in the anime at least, comes the part where he’s crouching in front of the soup and lays his hand in it, on the floor. I think that scene is extremely telling and symbolic and it serves as a great starting point in the buildup of rage Sanji goes through.
