Sanji's dream is to reach the All Blue, a mystical ocean filled with every fish in the world.

When him and his chef boss got stranded on an island, the guy cut off his own leg and forced Sanji to eat it so he could live.

I think that was in the manga only. If I recall, in the anime Zeff was trapped underwater and cut off his own leg to save Sanji. On the island he gave Sanji all of his food so he wouldn't starve.

Ending his career as a pirate, because after all who has ever heard of a pirate with a peg leg?

Cool guys read the manga (and the anime for action scenes) so what I said is true because I'm a cool guy

Man, they are really stretching out the Sanji half of this. Get to Chopper, his backstory is actually interesting.

Pretty sure that is what happened in the manga too, I certainly don't remember him feeding Sanji his leg, he gave Sanji a small bag of food and had a large bag, which is later revealed to be filled with treasure not food.

Luffy has always kinda taken the stance of "hey you're gonna be on my crew, it's decided"

Once he sets his eye on someone he always gets his man/woman, even if it takes an entire arc

No, his father knew it would kill him even before he ate it, then went out like a boss by blowing himself up

These recaps have been complete messes. They really don't make any sense unless you already know the stories.

To give you a sense of Choppers backstory, imagine Rudolf the Red-Nosed reindeer except Rudolf accidentally poisons Santa trying to save him and then to make sure it doesn't kill him Santa blows himself up.

There is a lot more to it than that but thats a general gist.

Her mom was an archaeologist and the government hates archaeologists so they decided to kill all the archaeologists in the world, starting with the island full of archaeologists Robin lives on. Robin escaped with the knowledge of what they did and possibly some other forbidden archaeologist knowledge, so they put a huge bounty on her, the end, also there was a giant
