For the Sanji fans....some sexy/cute/pretty fanarts...from Japan!

[liashi]

My Japanese friend sent me a site full of lovely Sanji fanart. Well, mostly Sanji fanart anyway. There's a little bit of Zoro and Luffy, and even some Shanks, Usopp, and Smoker. Most pics are pretty simple, but better than a lot of what's out there. Anyone who likes Sanji...especially sexy Sanji... should definitely take a look! (It's all PG, don't worry? Also, little to no spoilers here. But you might not get some of the joke pictures, depending on what you have or haven't seen.)

And just to add something of my own to the post, I'm including a translation of all the titles and text of the pics, along with a translation of the three or so mini-comics...because I feel like doing it. I wanna know what the stuff says, too!

Warning: REALLY long post follows!

http://www.ne.jp/asahi/ddworks/hinoe/gallery/index.html

Navigation is via the left sidebar. Or, just scroll down to the translations, all pictures are linked.

Anyway, if you do go to the page, note that the first links in the sidebar are for Metal Gear Solid fanarts, so scroll down until you see the section headed "One Piece."

When you follow the link, the page on the right is only text...followed by a link to another page, then a box describing recent updates, a box for contact, and some notices about not stealing the fanarts. The text at the top reads...

倉庫代わりのギャラリー。
こちらに絵が出ます。
* 基本的に、最新の絵はPixivにアップしています。

Translation:
This is my alternative gallery, where I archive pictures.
*Basically, I upload newer works to Pixiv.
If you have an account, you can visit me here:
→My Page at Pixiv / ID：34685

You have to have an account to view art there, and the website is all Japanese. So only go there if you're feeling adventurous...
Now, moving to the navigation bar on the left, which is the real item of interest--

Under the "One Piece" Header, it says "Sanji", then:

*以下、1～7年前の古い作品です
*The following works are from 1-7 years old.

1. 夕陽 / "Sunset"
2. 船上ガーデニング（４コマ） / "Gardening on a Boat" (4 Panel Comic)

First panel
Usopp: The parsley's gotten really big, huh?
Sanji: Yep. I'll use it in the salad tonight.

Second panel
Usopp: Huh? Was this one eaten by a bug or something?
It's got no leaves...

Third panel
Usopp: See?

Fourth panel
Sanji: ...I didn't see a thing. SFX: *grip*
Usopp: Yes you did.
Usopp: It's got yellow and black stripes.
Sanji: Say one word more and I'll kick you.

3. 板前・2 / "Chef 2"

Text below image:

4. バレンタインポスター / "Valentine's Day Poster"

Text on poster below "Amour de Chocolat":
"The enchantment of chocolate brings a magic that will not melt away" **

** Translation Note (T/N): "Torokeru choko de, tokenai mahou wo." Famous advertisement line. The word in the Japanese for "enchantment" also has a double meaning of "melt." Furthermore, when a magic spell breaks (such as Cinderella's did at midnight), it is referred to in Japanese as having "melted." Thus chocolate (that melts and enchants) creates a magic that does not melt. Clever, right? But the word play is mostly untranslatable without being awkward.

Second panel:
Sanji: Hey...you ever heard of the Suke-Suke Fruit?
Luffy: Nope.
Sanji: Don't you know anything!? It's a Devil Fruit that lets you turn invisible. If I could just become an invisible man...

Text under Luffy:
Not listening.

20. タンクトップ / "Tank Top"

Text below image:

** T/N: Another famous advertisement line, this one, for a hair salon. Or so I am told by my Japanese friend. Apparently, in the ad, a lady was being grilled and picked on at a job interview. At the end of it, she yelled out the line "Watashi, nuidara sugoindesu!" Which is literally, "I'm awesome when it's all taken off!"
What exactly is being taken off is left to the imagination--there is a vague sexual implication, with the main intended meaning being something like, "you may not like how I look, but I'm a good person on the inside! (ie, if you were to look past ('take off') my skin, I'd be great!)".
Edit: found a video of it on youtube!

and the picture got taken over by Sanji ... (hangs head)
So we tried to fix it by expanding the picture,
but still it ended up like this...
with him taking up 2/3 of it. Sorry RIN! (laugh)
I warned you; I love him too much! (shifty eyes)

8. 西遊記 / "Journey to the West (Saiyuki)"

Text below image:
Inspired by the 7th Log omake's "Erogappa." **

** T/N: Those who know the newer version of the TV drama Saiyūki may recognize the references. (The original is really old, and probably better known in the English-speaking world. It's from the late 70s, there is dubbed version called "Monkey", known as a cult classic in the UK and Australia. It wasn't shown in the US)
Needless to say, I, not knowing the references, had a really hard time figuring out what in the heck was meant by "Erogappa," as OP is not the only media to have used the name itself. I was also tripped up by the refrences to the "7th Log," as I'm rather new to the OP fandom and hadn't heard of them.
ANYWAY, about this "Erogappa" thing...it's thanks to that 7th Log omake, in which Sanji is a kappa, and the NEWER version of Saiyūki. In this picture Sanji becomes the Saiyuki character named Sa Gojō...who is also a kappa. And ero. What I find amusing it that if you even mix in the Sa Gojō from the anime/manga version of Saiyuki...it's even more Sanji-ish. THAT Sa Gojō both smokes and likes to flirt with girls (sound like anyone we know?)
Luffy shares similarities with the Saiyuki's character Son Gokū, the "Monkey King." Of course. Haha. Bet no one saw THAT one coming. Usopp is Cho Hakkai, and Robin, despite the fact that her character, Sanzōhōshi (also known in English as Tripitaka) is all against fighting, makes a nice-looking one nevertheless. Sanzōhōshi is also played by a female actor in the drama even though it is a male character.
Wiki article on the Saiyūki TV drama here. Although the personality of Sa Gojō matches the new version character better, I think the appearance of Sanji et all as drawn here matches the old version better. Opening theme (English) from the old version here. Skip to about 0:55 to see the characters. Order: Son Gokū (Luffy), Sanzōhōshi (Robin), Sa Gojō (Sanji), Cho Hakkai (Usopp).
...okay, shutting up now. Took me three freaking hours to figure this all out.

** T/N: So the first four characters seem to have been taken from Chinese poetry or something. In Japanese it is a four character combination that means "harshness/severity." In the Edo era, the phrase became a sort of motto for judges, encouraging them to be that way (ie, like the ice of autumn and the heat of summer), and then, by extension, took on the meaning of "harshness/severity."
