Sanji has always been one of the most underestimated characters in One Piece. I think and I believe that everyone agrees that Oda is gearing Sanji up for something great in the future.

While looking back at the One Piece SBS’s I found something interesting in SBS Volume 20.

R: Oda-sensei, out of the 5 crew members Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Nami and Sanji, what animals do you think they most resemble?

O:

• Luffy’s a monkey
• Zoro is… a shark
• Usopp, an armadillo
• Nami’s a cat
• And Sanji’s a duck.

But there’s one thing I AM confident about. I THINK CHOPPER IS A REINDEER. (DOOOON)

Oda states that Sanji resembles a DUCK

So this leads me to think that the life of Sanji is based off the story The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen.

Lets look at the actual story to see the connections and comparisons between the life of the ugly duckling and Sanji.

Here is the link

Seeing that Duval was said to be under some curse at child birth and had that same curly eyebrow as Sanji I believe that this may foreshadow a similar flashback of Sanji’s past.

Likewise in The Ugly Duckling, the duckling was being teased and was rejected by all the animals.
Also, the ugly duckling was last to born and was born too mature which made it look strange and deformed.

So, with that being said, I believe that Sanji may have had an unnatural birth where Sanji was looked down upon because of his curly eyebrow or because he was overdue.

Lets look back at one the manga chapters to validate this.

Here we see Usopp stating that Sanji may have been born under some miracle star.
So maybe Sanji was born during some great event or it is referencing to his miracle birth, kinda like the birth of Jesus.

In the story, the ugly duckling’s mother stated that the ducklings looked liked their father and that the FATHER LEFT.

This leads me to believe that Sanji had a father that abandoned him and his mother when he was born.
I think that Sanji’s father was a World Noble that had many wives and Sanji’s mom was one of them although I don’t believe that Sanji had siblings.

And here is proof that World Nobles do have more than one wife

Eventually, the ugly duckling was teased by everyone soo much that the mother duckling rejected it.

Therefore, I believe that Sanji’s mother loved and wanted to keep Sanji but Sanji’s World Noble father and other World Nobles saw Sanji as an abomination maybe because

1) Sanji had a weird curly eyebrow

2) He was overdue and had strange physical features

or..

3) The World Nobles saw the curly eyebrow as a curse and it was prophesied that Sanji will be born and bring destruction to the World Nobles!

Okay… I know that last part was crazy but it could be possible

This doesn’t really seem far-fetched because of what Sanji said to Kuma

Anyways, I strictly believe that Sanji was resented by his Father and the other World Nobles.

So as a result of this malice towards Sanji I would make sense that the World Nobles put Sanji’s mother back into common life and forced Sanji’s mother to put him up for adoption or straight up abandon him to die!

But I think that she put him up for adoption to protect him.

This may explain why Sanji does not talk or bring up his parents because he was separated from them when he was still an infant

In the end where the ugly duckling turns into a beautiful swan, I believe that this forshadows Sanji becoming the real star in the Final War and fucking shit up at Marejois.

Turning from that underestimated pirate into a well known pirate.
