Why is Sanji addressing Nami with “San” and Robin with “Chan”?
D: Oda-Sensei, After I started watching One Piece, I thought of it all the time, but why is Sanji addressing Nami with “San“and Robin with“Chan”? Yet it is Robin who’s the elder!! Is there any deep meaning behind it!?

O: Well I actually didn’t think anything of it. Before there was a staff member in our workplace who asked us something interesting. The wish to treat a woman older than you as if she was younger, and a woman younger than you as if she was more of an ãdül†….Is Sanji acquainted with this feeling? I replied, “O, Ofcourse. That is right”
