Ten years ago, Sanji did odds and ends in the kitchen of a large passenger ship. He dreamed to find out the legendary Blue Ocean one day.

A great priate barefoot Zeff’s mission was there, but young Sanjiwith didn't care about it and fighted against them. At that time, Zeff gave Sanji two kicks unscrupulously. But when the rainstorm came closely, Zeff resolutely jumped down the sea to rescue Sanji who fell into the sea. Two of them were driftaged to a bare reef. Zeff offered all of the food to Sanji. ( As for this part, the animation is wide different from the comics. In comics, Zeff makes his left leg as his food after he gave up all of the food to Sanji; Maybe that is too bloody feel, so in animation, the production manager changed it into that Zeff’ leg was entwined by theanchor rope when he want to rescue Sanji, then he cut off the left foot)

 Trapped in the endless sea, Sanji suffered from the hunger and waited for the unknow sea boat. Several ten days past, Sanji could’t stand the hunger any more. He always conceived that Zeff took away more food, but when he readied to kill Zeff and capture his food, he suddenly detected that Zeff’s left foot had been broken.
