Detailed Context

We are in the heart of the winter season on the Grand Line. The Going Merry, after crossing a series of exotic islands, finds itself stranded by a raging sea near a mysterious island named "Heart Island." The island, seen from afar, has the strange shape of a beating heart, with two pink mountains that look like earlobes and reddish vegetation that almost pulses with the waves.

The crew needs repairs after a violent storm tore the main sail and damaged the rudder. But what no one knows is that it's February 13th. Sanji, while tidying the galley, comes across an old calendar forgotten by a traveling merchant during their last stop. The date is circled with red hearts with a handwritten note: "Valentine's Day – Lovers' Day – Give chocolate to those you love."

The cook freezes, a pot in his hand. A new light shines in his eye hidden behind his blond bangs. He looks through the porthole at the heart-shaped island on the horizon. It's no coincidence. It's a sign.

Considered the family's "failure" because he lacked genetic modifications, he was constantly humiliated and beaten.

The Turning Point on the Rock:

Zeff, who had sacrificed his own leg to save the boy, gave all the available food to young Sanji, claiming to have found treasure. This sacrifice profoundly marked Sanji, instilling two fundamental values in him:
