To the people blaming Sanji for Robin.....here ya go
D: Here’s my question: on p. 80 of Volume 42, Sanji says “I was raised to never kick a woman.” Would that have been a lesson from Zeff the Chef? Would that mean Zeff is very soft on women, as well? Tell me. from Ariga-san
O: Oops, this one’s from the same person as the last one. This is a good question though, so I’ll answer it. When I drew Sanji vs Kalifa (Chapter 403), some people lauded Sanji’s stance, and some people felt sorry for him. The truth is, I didn’t really want to write those lines. Sanji doesn’t have a “policy” of not kicking women; the truth is that he actually CAN’T kick them. He is a very proud man. I think he was really frustrated at that. think Nami recognized that, and chose to praise him for once. It’s a scene that I hope will resonate with male readers, but everyone’s free to take it as they wish. Also, Zeff is just a man among men.
As Oda states: "Sanji doesn’t have a “policy” of not kicking women; the truth is that he actually CAN’T kick them". The whole line of " I will never kick a woman", is something Oda didnt want to write. Sanji was actually frustrated at not being able to kick Khalifa. So no this isnt Sanji's fault, he did not pick to not help Robin. He literally cant do anything to women. Blame Oda's shitty writing....who keeps on putting Sanji in these situations.

Of course it's shit writing:
-Sanji can outrun them, break the roof and fly away
-Somehow he escaped her web the first time yet somehow he's supposed to be caught here? Why can't he escape again?
of course this will be unexplained because of the offscreen
It's the same writing that let Toko, a 8yr child outrun Zolo and Brook right to Yasuie's execution in flower capital (that's a lot of distance):
or
Hiyori outran Killer while carrying Toko
Oda is a horrible writer, he can't come up with anything new.
You can see from his arc structures, they never change.
He has no imagination as to how not let Sanji to the roof
while also not letting him encounter calamity too soon (because he always gets his fight last out of everyone)
or not just beating everyone up, because that would make the raid too easy in the dome

B
He knows he must give Sanji his moment to shine in Onigashima (because of his popularity), so before that he trashes him to death so he can find his inner peace. 
It could also be that he loves Sanji and thinks that being captured by Black Maria is the greatest blessing on earth
