Childhood
Sanji was Zeff's protégé and sous-chef. The two had a long history together. Nine years earlier, Zeff (who was a pirate at the time)
attacked the ship that Sanji was working on as a cook. Both ships were caught in a sudden storm and sank. Zeff managed to save the young Sanji from
drowning and the two were washed onto a rock outcropping, high above the sea. Despite their good fortune there was little food for them: a few rations had
washed onto the rock but there was no vegetation or animals and no way to reach the water to fish. Splitting up what little rations remained, Zeff ordered
Sanji to sit at the other end of the island and look for a ship. Sanji protested that Zeff was keeping a large sack for himself but Zeff brushed him off,
saying that as an adult, his stomach was bigger.
Days passed. Sanji had eaten all the food and there was still no sign of a ship. Many weeks afterward (the exact amount of time differs between the manga
and anime) an emaciated Sanji decided to take a chance and kill the old man for his food. He did not kill Zeff, however: when he slashed open the old
man's sack in a fit of rage he discovered that there was no food inside, only treasure. To his horror, he realized that Zeff had eaten his own leg to
survive (in the anime he lost it while saving Sanji after becoming entangled in one of the wrecked ships and simply ate nothing). Wracked with guilt, Sanji
agreed that if they were rescued he would help Zeff build a restaurant on the water so that those at sea would not have to go hungry. Soon after a ship
appeared and they were spared from death.
The Baratie
The Baratie was the ship-restaurant that Zeff used the treasure to have built when they got off the island. On the Baratie, Zeff and Sanji shared an uneasy relationship, frequently getting into arguments and exchanging insults. Sanji would call Zeff an "Old Fart" or "Shit-Geezer," and in return, Zeff would call Sanji a "stupid eggplant" and tell him his cooking was awful. Yet for all that, Sanji remained faithful to his promise nine years before, and risked his life to help defend the restaurant he helped build from the clutches of Don Krieg and his pirate armada. With the help of Monkey D. Luffy he succeeded, but was unwilling to leave his position at Baratie to become Luffy's cook. In the end, Zeff had to remind him of the dream they both shared: to find the legendary sea, All Blue. Tearfully thanking the old man for everything, Sanji departed with Luffy...
Sanji has mastered the martial art of Red Leg (a fictional martial art that takes some inspiration from the Brazillian martial art Capoeira) that the pirate Zeff apparently taught him. All of his maneuvers come from his legs and feet. His legs and feet are extremely powerful, able to smash boulders and defeat creatures much larger than himself (like the bananadiles and poor Mo-Moo). His legs also imbue him with surperior speed and agility, able to leap and run much farther than normal humans. He has stated that the reason he fights with his feet is that he doesn't want to risk damaging his hands as he needs them to cook.
As for his actual "attacks" Sanji has a very large number of specific kicks and techniques he uses to fight with. It should be noted that he doesn't call out an attack name whenever he kicks someone or something, but for important events and fights he usually will. Most of his attacks are said in French and are usually cooking/food terms related in some way to the specific portion of the opponent's body that he's targeting or to the nature of the attack itself. In the English anime, the attacks are changed to be funny/childish sounding, non-existent food items that have something to do with the target area of the attack.
Joy.
On rare occasions Sanji will use items like guns or kitchen knives to fight. At one occasion, Sanji points a gun at Miss All-Sunday (Nico Robin) during the escape from Whiskey Peak (One of the first of seven islands upon entering the Grand Line). Another occasion, when Sanji fought a CP7 chef, Sanji used kitchen knives to remove Wanze's battle suit but did not cut him. As he was in a a kitchen as well as fighting food, he had an excuse for using knives. Instead of letting the ramen fall to the floor he put them into plates and stacked them on the kitchen counters.
