Vinsmoke Sanji's story in One Piece is exceptionally interesting, and among the Straw Hats, he has one of the most interesting stories, filled with various events from his past that truly helped make Sanji the character we all know and love. This article will focus on part of Sanji's story, as we will explain the episode where he almost starved to death. You will discover why he had to starve to death and how long it lasted.

After the ships sank, Sanji and Zeff were stranded on a bare rock, devoid of vegetation and animals. They were given food rations for about 25 days, and Zeff decided to give his entire foot to Sanji; he eventually cut off his own leg and ate it to survive. But after 25 days, Sanji was left without food. Sanji managed to survive without food for a total of 60 days, which is consistent with the fact that they were both stranded on the rock for 85 days. After this, a ship was sighted, and both were rescued from certain death.

This article will tell the story of Sanji's starvation, as it happened at the beginning of his story. It will also tell the story of how Sanji met Zeff and where their adventure together began. It's a bit unrealistic (because going without food for two months is really a bit of a stretch), but that's One Piece for you—what didn't kill Sanji only made him much stronger in that aspect. We'll reveal all the necessary information, and then you'll know everything you need to know. As for spoilers, we must warn you that the article will contain a significant number of them, so be careful how you approach it.

Due to an accident, Sanji had to survive without food for a total of 60 days.

What do we know about Vinsmoke Sanji? Well, he's the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of its first and most famous members. He doesn't have a Devil Fruit, but his unique fighting style is what has made him exceptionally notorious and powerful. He's actually the third son of Vinsmoke Judge, the famous ruler of the Germa Kingdom, and the only one of his siblings to have been spared his father's scientific interventions thanks to his mother's sacrifice.

This is why he was considered an outcast among his siblings and why he was the target of their abuse. Eventually, he left his family and went off on his own, as he wanted nothing to do with them. Instead, since he loved eating, he decided to pursue his goal of becoming a cook, which is how he met the pirate Zeff, and the two would become cooking partners. But now, let's get to the story.

So, after Sanji escaped from home, he ended up on the cruise ship Orbit, where he later became an apprentice cook. Two years later, the ship was attacked by the Cook Pirates during a storm: Sanji was swamped by a wave and fell into the sea, but Zeff dove into the water to save him. The two arrived at a small, deserted island, devoid of vegetation, where they decided to stay apart unless they saw a ship; Zeff gave Sanji a bag of supplies, kept a much larger one for himself, and sailed away.

The rations Zeff gave Sanji were enough for a total of 25 days, and Sanji actually used them all up during that time. After that, since the rock didn't provide any food, Sanji began to starve. The starvation process lasted a total of 60 days; it's unclear how he survived that long, but since this is One Piece, which is a fantasy series, it's honestly not that strange. A big problem for Sanji, however, was the fact that Zeff kept a larger bag for himself, so Sanji thought he had kept more food for him while giving him less.

Therefore, after sixty days, Sanji decided to steal the food from the pirate's bag, but he discovered that it was actually filled with nothing but gold and jewels, so he had given him all the food. To survive, the pirate had actually eaten one of his legs. At that point, Zeff explained to Sanji that he had saved him because they both had the same dream: to find the All Blue.

After spending a total of 85 days on the rock, they were rescued by a passing ship and quickly opened the Baratie to feed anyone in need. At the same time, Zeff educated him by getting furious at him when he broke a plate and dropped the food on the floor after seeing a beautiful woman. Zeff also once told him he was slow at cooking, and it hit him hard when he saw him wasting time with a girl. He became an assistant to the head chef and sometimes fed those in the back restaurant whom the other chefs fired because they couldn't pay.

One day, he, Paty, and Carne asked Zeff to hire a cook. The latter declared that he was used to educating by kicking, and that with a woman, he wouldn't have been able to do it. When the boy replied that he could do it anyway, Zeff hit him several times on the head, giving him numerous bumps, telling him that a man doesn't kick a woman because if he did, he would cease to be a man.

Additionally, he should have cut off his testicles, while he should have done the same to his head, as that was what a father should do. As he left, he also told Sanji not to hate him as he grew up, ordering him to return to work.
