Haha a family of assassins. I like it, but I still think the noble family would have made more sense. None of Sanji's personality traits (he was old enough to remember his family) or back story seems to indicate assassin The origin story we had so far was Sanji was working as a trainee cook on a ship that was attacked by Zeff, after the attack both ships were hit by a storm and sunk. Zeff saves Sanji then they start a restaurant together.

Now even if it's made up that Sanji was a trainee cook it's still likely he was alone in East Blue away from Vinsmoke family, a group of assassins, otherwise they would have defeated Zeff. The assassins have to be strong in some sort of capacity otherwise they wouldn't have the ability to influence Sanji's wanted poster. If they were a family of nobles instead it would make sense that they would be defeated as royalty throughout the series often have had shitty guards.

Why was Sanji in East Blue anyways? Was it training so Sanji could learn different professions and go undercover better? If they were nobles again it would make more sense as a vacation traveling the different oceans.

Poisoning someone's food is one of the best ways possible to assassinate someone.

Yes, but this is One Piece a shounen. If poisoning and undercover kills were the only method of assassination for a family they wouldn't be very good. Eventually they will have to get their hands dirty like CP9 did and get into a fight. Training to be a chef is all well and good, but his ship was attacked by pirates because the Vinsmoke family had poor or no protection for Sanji. Why train in East Blue as opposed to North Blue and if East why was there no protection for Sanji?

It could be Sanji was a neglected son, but through various misfortunes with the elder children he is now more important.

I've said before that Sanji reminds me of James bond (when he's alone) so now that he's from a family of assassins I can see where that comes from!

I don't know how a family of assassins have so much influence with the government. Maybe the Vinsmokes are government assassins like CP9.

They are big players in the underworld. Naturally, they'd have enough money to pull strings.
What I'm curious about is the Brook connection. What's he so angsty about?

Something must have happened to do with the Vinsmoke family in his past. Some people have speculated that the Vinsmoke killed or are related to the people who killed Brook and his crew.

yeah big players in the underworld. that usually means theyre enemies to the government, so it doesnt explain how someone was able to pull strings to make a government wanted poster keep the son of an assassin family alive. youd expect the government would want anyone from a big underworld family to just be dead

You're right, silly me. All politicians are perfectly ethical and can never be bought. What was I thinking?

To those wondering about the note and the secret meaning, I think you are thinking too much about it. I think Sanji was using his observation Haki and noticed the cat boss was coming so he started to write a note and this allowed him to approach nami ect. with said note with Capone getting suspicious allowing him to throw Nami ect. out of the castle. And since the cat boss was close Capone didnt want to risk a fight so he ran away.

aside from doflamingo who is of noble heritage, there is no villain that has been able to manipulate the world government like so.
do you really think celestial dragons would be willing to negotiate with people 'below' them? every tier in the world government's hierarchy has characters that would in no way be bargained with by people from the 'underworld'.
that leaves pretty much one sensible answer, which is what royalroadweed originally suggested. the assassin family works for the government themselves
not sure why you are trying to bring real life political issues into one piece. one piece is a lot of things but one of the main themes that cant be seen in one piece compared to the real world is corruption.

No you're absolutely right. The celestial dragons would never ever deal with the underworld especially when they do things like buy slaves from the auction house...
The marines also, (you know the guys who issue wanted posters) would never in a million years negotiate with scum like pirates to buy devil fruits or work out a protection deal (especially with fishmen, they're the worst!)
You're also 100% right about how there is no politics whatsoever in one piece and how corruption is strictly RL stuff and Oda would never write about, much less base half of his entire series on. I am sorry for ever doubting you.

Who knows, maybe they are a family of assassins that were extremely loyal to the founding World Nobles so they have some pesudo nobiiity and protection that allows for them to be big players.
