Sanji's current epithet is the black leg, which is similar to the red leg Zeff. If sanji gets a new epithet, it's possible that it would still have some similarity to the red leg epithet.
Sanji's character been associated with rats since the year of sanji.
As we know, oda loves making name pun. Raftel and laugh tale for example.
Zeff, a role model for sanji, has the epithet of red legs. This is a name pun because red and rat actually is pronounced similarly.
Oda also put a hidden pun in sanji's powerup.
Raid Suit......if you remove the letters in middle...it becomes Rat.
Rats are also well known for sneaking. Similarly, ratji has been doing sneaking jobs (sneaking in alabasta casino, sneaking in enies lobby gate control room).
Oda might be inspired from Ratattouille, a movie about a rat wanting to be a chef (sanji's occupation). In this case, sanji the chef would become the rat instead.
