As One Piece fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter, Eiichiro Oda has revealed a surprising family secret that could change everything. The latest wave of revelations concerns none other than Sanji’s family, the Vinsmoke’s. In the latest chapter, we discover that Sabo, Luffy’s adoptive brother, is actually Sanji’s long-lost sibling. But who are the Vinsmoke’s, and what is their role in the anime? Here’s everything you need to know.
The Vinsmoke family is a royal family that originally ruled over the North Blue and the Germa Kingdom. The family has a military branch in the Underworld called Germa 66, which has now become the Straw Hat crew’s ally. The reigning king in the Germa Kingdom is Vinsmoke Judge, who happens to be the father of Sanji and Sabo. Vinsmoke Judge’s wife is Vinsmoke Sora, and they have six children, one of whom vanished as a baby.
The first member of the Vinsmoke family is Vinsmoke Judge. He is the commander of Germa, well known for his technological advancements, especially his armor and weapons. He can hold his own in a fight against Sanji and uses dirty tactics to gain the upper hand.
Vinsmoke Sora, Judge’s wife, is an intelligent woman who seems to have a good understanding of medicine. She used this knowledge to try and stop Judge’s experiments on her children, but it made her sick in the end. However, she managed to help Sanji maintain his humanity, unlike Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji, who lost their sense of empathy and affection. She does not have a superpower, but her intelligence proves to be invaluable.
The third member is Vinsmoke Reiju, who, like her siblings, has supernatural powers that help her fight. Her unique power is immunity to poison. She can even absorb toxins into her own body harmlessly. In their first encounter, she saved Luffy from poisoning after he ate a toxic fish. She can also secrete poison from her body to poison her adversaries.
Next, Vinsmoke Ichiji, dubbed Sparking Red, has the extraordinary ability to emit light beams that can penetrate through anything, making his power similar to Kizaru’s light technique. He, like his siblings, gained his power through Judge’s experiments.
Niji, on the other hand, gained the ability to manipulate electricity through Judge’s experiments. He can use the technique Henry Needle to strike his enemies with his knees, allowing him to release an electric shock. He is also proficient in swordplay and can channel electricity into his sword to perform Henry Blazer techniques.
Sanji, unlike his siblings, has natural human strength and exceptional resilience. He learned fighting techniques from Zeff, but his fighting style evolved over time, and his signature move is called the Diable Jambe. Sanji can also use both Kenbunshoku and Busoshoku Haki, much to Judge’s surprise. He is now even faster and can move in the air, much like Geppou from the Rokushiki technique. With the Raid Suit, Sanji’s powers have been enhanced, and he can even disappear!
Lastly, Vinsmoke Yonji’s special power is the extension of his right arm because of his body modification. He has not yet revealed any significant weapons or defenses, but he can use his strength effectively. Sanji was able to defeat him with ease when he wasn’t under threat.
In summary, the Vinsmoke family plays a critical role in One Piece, and Sanji’s connection to Sabo adds another layer to this already complicated family tree. It will be interesting to see how their relationships develop in the future, and what secrets Eiichiro Oda has in store for readers in the next chapters.
