Shanks is the opposite of his family like sanji is (both raised by pirates and went back to their families at

garland is an old french name
Figarland family are likely based off a French family plus mariejois is a French castle
And Germa seems to be more inspired by Germany and Nordic countries, so maybe his french side comes from his mothers blood. Marie Geoise is also based on a French cast
sanji and luffy are foils to each other and the blackbeard pirates are the evil counterpart to strawhats with
blackbeard being evil luffy

So, I was thinking that Luffy and Sanji are like two sidesfrom the same coin, ‘cause there are some aspects of them that are the same or at least really similar, but some others are just complete opposites
(This is going to be pretty long, sorry, so I’m dividing it in blocks, which may be a lil messy, sorry)
Appearence:
Both, are thin, but, while Sanji is tall, Luffy is short. Sanji has blond and well brushed hair that covers part of his face, but Luffy’s got black messy hair. Both have a “mark” on their face, Luffy’s got his scar, Sanji’s got his eyebrows.
Sanji always wears formal clothes that are black, whileLuffy wears informal clothes, which are bright colored.
Fighting Style:
Both fight without anything else but thier body, but while Luffy’s a Devil Fruit user, Sanji’s not. On the other hand, Sanji’s the best swimmer in the crew. Also, Luffy uses mostly his fists to attack, while Sanji uses only his legs (well he uses knifes in his fight versus Wanze, but just one fight, so let’s ignore it).
Personality:
Most of the time, Sanji’s composed and mature, but there’s a lot of moments when he’s really childish. Luffy, is most of the time childish, but he can be serious if the moment requires to. While Sanji has shown he has sexual desires, Luffy has shown he has less sexual desires than a snail.
Both are hopeless dreamers, with kinda impossible dreams. Sanji want to find a legendary sea that may not exist, and Luffy wants to find a legendary tresaure that’s wanted by a lot of people. Luffy will do whatever he has to do to achieve it, but Sanji has been shown to deny his desire to accomplish his dream, just for the sake of someone else.
Luffy’s an excited child that go running towards anything that sounds fun to him without any second thought. Sanji’s careful and thinks his next moves with precison, also Sanji is one of the main strategist of the crew
Luffy easily falls for lies,tricks and ilusions, while Sanji doesn’t and even sometimes uses them in his advantage.
Both are so damn protective, but Sanji’s a lot more sacrificed.
Luffy’s loud and bad at infiltrating, but Sanji’s quiet and awfully good at infiltraitng and finding ways to help the crew.
Story/Family:
Both are saved by a pirate that looses, an arm on Luffy’s part, a leg on Sanji’s part,
Their fathers are both famous criminals, but while Sanji’s father’s more from the underworld, Luffy’s father from the upperworld.
(sanjis father is a conqueror while dragon is a liberator
Also both have two older siblings, but while Luffy’s aren’t blood related, Sanji’s are.
Well, that’s just a list of things that have come to my mind for now. Feel free to expand it.
Sanji can’t hit a woman at all, while Luffy could care less about your gender if you’re the enemy. Zoro’s in the middle of the spectrum. I got this from TV Tropes.
I’d also like to point out how Oda’s chosen colors for them are red and blue. While you have Zoro and Nami whose colors are their hair color, Sanji could honestly have yellow or even black as a color, but those were assigned to Usopp and Brook instead.
In most literature, red and blue are symbolic opposites. Usually they designate for convenience enemies or rivals at least. While Sanji’s rival is Zoro, sanji unwilling had sort of a heelface turn where in chapter 844 they actually had what they talked about sort of sanji vs. luffy more like sanji hitting luffy in order to strive him down both sanji and luffy had 2 flashbacks first one featuring their mentor and their mentors losing a limb for them and the second featuring a relationship with their brothers for luffy it was in spirit for sanji it was biological for luffy it was positive relationship for sanji negative
in the tea party since sanji is trying to save his biological brothers and father who he hates while e how luffy tried to save his brother in spirit ace
this serves as an excellent point of contrast while sanji is saved his brothers and father who he hates (along with his sister who he loves) luffy tried to save his brother in spirit and failed where sanjis mentor lost a leg to protect him while luffys mentor shanks lost a arm saving him heck in the manga this was outright referenced when luffy told him
and they are both connected to the sun with luffy being the son god fruit user
and sanji associated with sun in a meta way
Judge was to be named Saint-Germain, eventually this became the name of Germa Kingdom’s flagship. I think the name Saint-Germain comes from the city Saint-Germain-en-Laye (the same as Paris Saint-Germain FC). Interestingly, this city was the birthplace of Sun King Louis XIV
image
Sun king Louis supposedly had a twin brother who was the man in the iron mask ( which is referenced in sanjis backstory )
in the story man in the iron mask
also germa kingdom is a reference to shocker from kamen rider and kamen rider black was solar powered who lit his legs and fists on fire and had a prince of sadness and prince of anger mode
while lufffys g5 has white hair and red eyes and is the moment when he is at his most free
sanji with black hair is when he is at his least free ( if sora never took the drug)
so sanji is the grandson of the strongest celestial dragon (force for the celestial side) while luffy is the grandson of the strongest marine who hates celestial dragons
Also a neat parallel between Garp and Garling (their grandfathers) is that while Garp is known as the heroes of the marines and revered by them, Garling is feared by his people (the celestial dragons) for being the only one who can judge them and he seems to want to aim higher
in terms of power and hierarchy, while Garp despises Celestial dragons and doesnt want to answer to them, so he never became an admiral
Luffy learnt adv coc by fighting the wsc a dragon who got scarred by a noble warrior oden and surpassing him
while sanji gets it and his hair may turn black by fighting the man (celestial dragon )who scarred the man who helped the title of worlds strongest man white beard who sanji will have to surpass
The facial hair reminds me of sanji
also garling is the godhead of science
plus garlings beard grows out long ( and old sanji ends up having a long beard braided like zeff's)

I believe "Garling" also references "Garlington", a U.S. General who earned the Medal of Honor for his Service during the Indian Wars. The Figarlands won a championship in god Valley, which was likely inspired by Utah's God Valley, a Place significant to Native Americans.
At the "Wounded Knee Massacre" on December 29, 1890, during the Indian Wars, Ernest Albert Garlington was awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest Military Award of the U.S. Government. About 300 Sioux Indians were killed by U.S. Cavalry Troops, including many Women and Children.
garlington had a grandson who was born in paris france alongside his twin ( and sanji has quadruplets

FIGARLAND → GARLAND During the early 12th Century in the Kingdom of France, some Members of the Garland Family held the Title of Seneschal and served as the Highest Court Officials. The Role of the Seneschal included serving as Head of the Royal Household and...
https://x.com/Pangea_Castle/status/1667928930005794816/photo/1
as a Commander-in-Chief of the Military. In the Kingdom of France, the Seneschal was considered to be second only to the King of France in Terms of Importance.
I don't think there is an Entry about the "Garland Family" in the English Wiki. Here, I will add the French Link about this significant Noble Family:
again sanji will unlock adv coc and black flames while zoro unlocks his black blade both ascending to yonko level at the same time ( adv coc doesnt equal yonko level just because zoro and luffy both gained adv coc at the same arc doesnt put them at same level when zoro has nothing to put him on luffys level ) zoro ovrhype got annoying zoro scarred kaido with adv coc he wasnt nerfed in anyway. zoro barely blocked the combined attack for a second before law saved him ( him being the one to do so doesnt mean he would be theo nly one who would survive)
sanji not being on the rooftop is irrelevent
( zoro and sanji both got stronger since fmi to start of wano not having tough fights is irrelevent) going but zoro wasnt used as ahypetool while sani was doesnt refute zoro vs sanji always being extreme diff they were always rivals in strength and fought seriously this never changes going eye diff wont change that going but sanji got bit by ethan wont change that ( both of them had good moments against ethan zoro got knocked back while sanji didnt due to his moment emphasizing speed and mobility so ethan retaliated ) ( zorofans need to accept that zoro isnt that guy he isnt far stronger then sanji he will never be that guy they need to accept that sanji is that guy that he is rivals with zoro the shanks to zoros mihawk ( if you can say mihawks feats reflect well on shanks and vice versa the same thing applys to zoro and sanji ( saying what I have said about sanji isnt wanting sanji to be zoro zorostans need to accept that sanji has and always will be rivals in strength to zoro that sanji being a fighter is part of his character ( why are you so desperate to think zoro and luffy should be the only yonko levels on the crew.
( you lot even try to claim zoro was stronger then luffy when he never was luffy was always the stronger of the two and the gap got wider with the timeskip (zoro not having tough fights till wano doesnt mean he didnt get stronger ( thats always been a bad argument)
