"Do you wanna play? Letās play for real at the last hour Cross the melody like a tightrope, I canāt admit it, I canāt go back, I want to forget it Let me stay in my dream I wanna be free I can see a new era, beyond the world Come on, letās go to the New World..."
Ado/Uta ~New Genesis
One Part of a "project" I've been working on for 3 weeks. I hope too finish the rest soon.
After Sanji retrieves his torso, Kināemon starts addressing him very respectfully, calling him ćę¹/okata (basically āthat gentlemanā) and č²“ę®æ/kiden (an anachronistic and very respectful way of saying āyouā used for equals or superiors).
And amusingly, like most stuff Kināemon does, it pisses Sanji the hell off. Iām starting to wonder if maybe thereās just something about samurai that triggers his fight instinct.

āMellorineā - 3/10
Used to be a 7/10 but became a 3/10 at best.
āMellorineā was Sanjiās default pet name for a woman he was infatuated with before you started dating him, so if he were to see a beautiful girl his first instinct was to suck up to her by calling her āMellorine,ā a unique nickname that has frankly become overused.
Back when you were still crushing on him, you would dream to the moon and back for Sanji to call you āMellorineā because it meant that he found you just as attractive as the many women he had his eyes on; this desire grew the more you kept your feelings to yourself. He would use the nickname on Nami the most which sparked envy within. But it didnāt take long for Sanji to drop it when he found out that you liked him.
Since then, he would reserve the nickname only for you and mix it with the occasional ā(Y/N)-swan.ā
Sanji kept calling you āMellorineā until he began calling you other pet names which he thought suited you better. You were (and are) indeed as sweet as mellorine, but he figured he should find other names for you to go by.
And although being addressed as āMellorineā had made you the happiest person alive, you were starting to feel a little troubled with it.
Sanji would use it as a default nickname so much that it didnāt feel too special anymoreāa little selfish, you know, but it was widely used for other girls that the moment Sanji began using it only for you, it made a few heads turn especially from your crew.
āI thought Nami was āMellorine,āā Luffy wondered aloud, prompting everyone to think the same. Nami glared, then punched him across the face.
āGet the hint, will you?!ā she yelled.
It felt like a shared nickname with somebody else, and you werenāt a big fan of that. Hence a 3/10. (You decided to give bonus points for creativity.)
Your name - 4/10
Not bad, but Sanji only calls you by your name if heās being serious and has something to bring up with a negative connotation or if heās talking to somebody else and has to namedrop you. You seldom hear him call you by just your name nowadays because he would always prefer adding his famous ā-swanā or ā-chwanā honorifics.
The most recent memory of Sanji calling you by only your name was when you were still a regular at Baratie, back when you barely knew each other. And truth be told, it wasnāt long until he resorted to calling you pet names to charm you.
ā(Y/N)-swanā - 6/10
This deserves a 6/10 (can surprisingly be cranked to a 7 if he calls you this in the right times) because itās cute and fascinating to hear Sanjiās linguistic habits.
Sometimes he says ā(Y/N)-chwanā depending on the mood, but either way you appreciate Sanjiās unique honorifics. It's funny in the best way that he has his own pronunciations and endearing at the same time. Sanji puts a lot of emphasis on his tones, especially in the presence of the āWā in ā-sanā and ā-chan,ā which is one of the many things you like hearing the most from him.
He prefers to call you with the ā-swanā honorific because it reflects exactly what he sees you as: a swan, an animal of grace, beauty, and intricacy, and he likes reminding you of that because he's naturally transparent with his feelings.
He pronounces honorifics the same way for other women but it doesn't bother you at all; Sanjiās honorific usage might have begun as a flirt tactic, but now that heās in a committed relationship with you, his usage is more likely out of habit.
āPrincessā - 8/10
This can also be cranked to a 9 on the proper occasions.
The One Piece universe has prominent royal bloodlines so calling a woman āPrincessā nine out of 10 times means that she is indeed a princess. Sanji knows this very well because he was once royalty, hence why he seldom calls you as such. But wishful thinking betrays you and you've come to love being addressed as āPrincessā without telling him.
You don't want to be the daughter of a real monarchāespecially not in this universeābecause royalty means having to deal with external and internal pressures from your kingdom, and that is the last thing you want to experience. But you and the rest of the Straw Hats once had to play pretend as royals from other nations, so when it came to interaction, you were called "Princess (Y/N)" often.
You were raised far from royalty so the closest you ever got to being a real princess was dressing up and letting your imagination handle the rest. Sanji doesn't know about this silly childhood dream because it was never the topic of conversation, and it's a little embarrassing to converse about it with a former royal so you kept it to yourself and never told anyone.
That's pretty much how you developed a secret liking to the term and it merely intensified when Sanji himself called you "Princess" while in disguise. At the time, you were doing your best to ground yourself to reality because Sanji's form of address meant a lot to you. Not only did it feed into your childhood desires, but it also made you feel special that he saw you as someone worth calling a high rank.
However everything then was not real, and only lasted for a few hours until you and your crew rid yourselves from the island and escaped. Once aboard the ship, it was back to your ordinary life as a pirate.
The nickname āPrincessā would only resurface when Sanji unknowingly randomizes the nicknames he should call you or when he lets it slip in bed. He wonāt realize it because heād be too concentrated on something else, but heāll most likely catch on the more you react to it.
In particular, you always soften when he lets the nickname slip up and get pretty clingy soon afterward. Sanji would suspect a thing you have with the nickname and do a few tests to see if heās right.
And he is, so he begins to call you āPrincessā more often just to see how you would react.
āAngelā - 10/10
A perfect 10/10 including its variants, with āpretty angel" and āangel face" being at the top of the list. It arguably becomes dirtier in bed though.
But Sanji uses this a lot as if itās your name; your crewās lineup is basically Sanji, the rest of the Straw Hats, and āAngel.ā Though if your name is (even something remotely similar to) Angel, Sanji would use a variant so that it doesnāt feel like heās calling you by just your real name.
He likes casually calling you āAngelā because itās a reminder that he sees you as one, and also because itās easy to pronounce and remember. That way, people would easily know that youāre taken and only his, so he wouldnāt have to worry about anyone else stealing you.
Honorable mentions
āSweetā - Alternatively, āSweetheart.ā It deserves a special mention because it was one of Sanjiās alternatives to āMellorineā back when he was still getting to know you.
āHoneyā - Another honorable mention that can be an alternative to āMellorine.ā Very endearing, and very sweet like honey itself. It was never your favorite, but it did make you smile a couple of times before.
Overall, Sanjiās nicknames for you are more on the sweeter side because he wants you to feel special. Heās open to other nicknames as long as he knows that you feel good about being addressed by it; if you are, then he is more than willing to call you as such to make you happy. If you arenāt, then heāll gladly stop and apologize.
