I don't think Sanji is going to be some secret prince or something that. Sanji did the Mr. Prince stuff because he likes doing that secret, behind closed doors poo poo during arcs. Plus if he was doing Mr. Prince to hide his identity, why would he join a pirate ship and not stay on the Baratie? Also if he was hiding his identity why would he flip out over his initial wanted poster not looking like him? Personally, I think Big Mom may be involved. Maybe Sanji cooked for her and she liked it so much she reached out to the WG for a special request to capture Sanji alive.

Also if he was hiding his identity why would he flip out over his initial wanted poster not looking like him? The idea is that Mr. Prince is an allusion to his nobility. He could have come up with any number of pseudonyms at Alabasta, but he chose that one. You could argue that it's more like Prince as in Prince Charming, but this could be a good twist. It could be that "Sanji" itself isn't his given name and that's how his wanted posters were Dead or Alive until now. The reason for leaving Baratie is pretty clear: he wanted to find All Blue and that wasn't possible on a restaurant ship. Also, I doubt Big Mom has any sway over the WG to make them want him alive only given he's a part of one of the most wanted pirate crews. It's very likely in my eyes that he was recognized by a noble and that forced the WG's hand.

It's possible Sanji doesn't know, but yeah for crazy theories I'm on board the Duval train, where Sanji's poster just happens to look just like a World Noble's missing son. Perhaps it'll even be left ambiguous in the end whether he really is or not. I think though, it's more likely this is to build a sense of mystery and suspense to what Sanji has been up to recently. I wouldn't be surprised if we flash back and follow that group's adventure. But I think we'll just be dumped in in media res and have to work out what's been happening as we go.

DeadBonesBrook posted:Sanji backstory arc incoming, oh god, I always thought if anyone had a missing backstory it would be Nami (due to how she and her sister met Bellamere and the nature of her weather predicting powers). We actually know very little about any of the Strawhats' backstories, aside from a single defining tragedy. Luffy Before Flashback - Who/where is Luffy's mom? Why was he abandoned? Why did Garp take him to be raised by a bandit rather than raise Luffy himself? After Flashback - Not much here. We're led to believe that Luffy just continued to train until the day he left. Something else could have happened though. Zoro Before Flashback - No parents. What happened to them? Was he living in that dojo? Actually, come to think of it, Zoro might have parents. It'd be a great gag later to find out that Zoro has a doting mother and father back home who just want their precious baby boy to be happy. After Flashback - Zoro had to have some adventures on his own to have already made a name for himself as a bounty hunter. Who did he take down? Mightn't they want revenge? Nami Before Flashback - Found in a battlefield. Was this a war or just bad pirate attack? There could be something special about Nami (or Nojiko, I guess) tied to that battle and that's why Bellemere had to desert the marines in order to save the girls. After Flashback - Same as Zoro, really. She stole 93 million berries from some presumably pissed off pirates. More opportunity for a revenge story. Usopp NO FLASHBACK - I mean, there's a brief one in which his mother dies and he starts his daily lying, but that's not really tragic ENOUGH for a One Piece flashback, you know? Really, his defining tragedy was The Boy Who Cried Wolf one that we get when he joins the Strawhats. Sanji Before Flashback - Nothing before being a cook on a cruise ship. Again, no parents. Again, where are they/who are they? I like the secret prince/noble theory. I prefer to think that Sanji ran away for some reason, but was too young to know the life of privileged he was throwing away and therefore won't have any idea why he's wanted Only Alive. Maybe the Mr. Prince moniker was just a coincidence (he likes to think of himself as a Prince Charming/knight in shining armor, after all), or maybe he vaguely remembers being called a prince when he was very young. Maybe he recalls it as a mother's petname rather than a title. Lotta "maybes" there. Can't wait to find out more. After Flashback - Nothing much. We know he stayed on the Baratie and helped Zeff. Not a lot of room for extra stories there. Chopper Before Flashback - Nothing to see here. Unless we count the story of the previous Human-Human Fruit eater who must have died on Drum Island at some point. After Flashback - Again, I'm not seeing much. He trains under Doc Kureha. Robin Before Flashback - We know about her mom, but what about her dad? Something is mentioned about his "unfinished business" (I JUST rewatched this, and noted the line), so there's probably a story there. Also, Robin had already eaten the devil fruit by the time we see her flashback. Where did she get it and from whom? After Flashback - Franky Before Flashback - Pirate parents who can't handle their unruly son? I want to hear that story. Or at least get a page or two displaying their character designs and personalities. They could even be "important" later, but I doubt it. I think they're only important to set up Franky as being a wild child. After Flashback - I think there's a good story to be told about what Franky did after failing to stop the train and rebuilding himself as a cyborg. He didn't go back to Water 7 right away. What did he do in the intervening years? What made him return to the island that held such pain for him and already thought him dead? Brook Before Flashback - We got a lot of his life story in the flashback, but there's still so much to tell. There's literally a lifetime of stories missing from Brook's backstory. He remembers a rookie named Roger; maybe he'll have experienced something else that turned out to be really important. After Flashback - Not much. We didn't get to see much of his first encounter with Moria. Just a flashback to his first attempt to retrieve his shadow. Other that that, it's just lonely drifting through fog. So yeah. There's a lot of room for further defining the personalities of pretty much all the Strawhats.

Bounty updates are always a blast. One of the reasons I was so bored with Fishman Island is because we only heard a couple things after the time skip before the crew got embroiled in this really lame, separated conflict. The feast after their victory was so satisfying. The guys meeting Kuzan in Film Z was cool too.

Seems dodgy, the way Oda no biggies it. Maybe the Pluton blueprints taught him about cyborg technology. Maybe the parts belonged to Vegapunk or some other scientist. There's a plotline starting there. This chapter was so freaking good.

Same mane from exactly my thoughts as well. i actually thought this character was sabo because of the cup thing in that cover arc, but it absolutely has to be someone friendly with both shanks and crocus. so probably and old school dude. also, the shichibukai has to be powerful since he hosed up an admiral (according to film z). and he has shikis hair. so its shiki.
