It was really sad to watch Sanji's deterioration over time, though. Reading through the manga makes puts his painful, gradual transition from a cool/competent/badass "smart guy" type back towards the Alabastia Arc and the following arcs to... What he is now. He's one of my favorite characters, and I wish his characterization hadn't drifted so much.
I think it's less drifting and more him kind of getting sent to a magical fairyland of okama that scared him for life. It's silly and dumb but I still think we have our cool, badass Sanji. He's still smart too.

The thing I feel with Sanji is that...maybe it's because of that "Call me Prince" scenario in Alabasta, but I think there's more to Sanji then we think.
