Personality: At first glance, Sanji seems refined, suave, calm and collected. For the most part these traits are true, until someone eats all the meat, destroys his kitchen or if perhaps a beautiful lady were to walk across his path. Certain situations can trigger different responses, though his main concerns will always revolve around the food he's preparing, to a woman in need, even if that woman doesn't ask for any help whatsoever. He considers himself a ladies man, while others would look at him as a pervert. There's a code of chivalry that for the most part he follows regardless of his perverted nature and another code when it comes to food.
For a man who chain-smokes like a chimney, Sanji takes cooking quite seriously regardless of burning away at taste buds. When he was young he didn't mind throwing away the leftovers, but after his ordeal Sanji soon learned the value those old chefs had taught him. Never waste food. A concept he takes to heart, which is why he could made anything edible and never leave scraps from any meals he makes for the crew. How serious he is with being a cook shows also in the way he fights, since he refuses to use his hands during battle.
Sanji is also intelligent, when he isn't drooling over women. When it comes to it he tells the situation how it is, and finds solutions to problems in a 'behind the scenes' sort of manner, to the point where the others don't realize his actions until said actions are set in motion and they so happen to be exactly what the crew needed. A good example of that would be during the 'Little Garden Arc' in which the crew thought they'd be stuck on the island and though Sanji was not shown as much during this arc compared to the others; at the end he not only took down two agents from Baroque Works that were following them, but obtained the means to escape the island in one swoop to the surprise of everyone else.
Then of course there's the more temperamental side of Sanji. He doesn't care for people; i.e. men, lacking in manners, though he himself trash talks more often than not, interjecting words like 'shit' and 'shitty' into a lot of things even into people's names. Those who annoy him usually get a black sole heel to their face or other various locations of their anatomy. Once again women are excused from this treatment, because Sanji had been brought up with a strict upbringing to never hurt a lady, which he holds even when confronted with a female enemy.
