You were probably Sanji's only friend at the Baratie, a restaurant that floated in the East Blue sea. You were a waiter/waitress and he was a cook. A very exceptional cook. But not everyone appreciated his skills. Zeff, the boss, always demoted him to chore boy when he made something he shouldn't have, which was always something fancy. But he never gave up. Any chance he could, he'd cook whatever he wanted. And you always admired him for that, how he never let anyone tell him what to do...
