Fanon
SaNa is one of the most popular ships in One Piece with The Ranker putting in the 2nd place behind LuNa in The 15 Greatest One Piece Non-Canon Ships.

The ship got particular popularity in the Zou and Whole Cake Island arcs. The popularity of the pair stem from Sanji's crush on Nami and that they share a good friendship among the crew, with many fans finding Sanji's excessive catering to Nami both amusing and endearing.

Critics of the pair point to the fact that Sanji's feelings for Nami are completely indistinguishable from his feelings for every other woman he has met, including strangers. On top of this, critics also find the pairing dislikable due to Sanji's perverted ways and openness in flirting with every woman he meets, believing that he is ill-suited for Nami.
