In One Piece manga chapter 801, all the members of the Straw Hat Crew have
gotten new bounties on their heads, being shown on those wanted posters. Do
you guys have any ideas as to why Sanji's poster only stated `wanted: alive
only`? What makes him so special that the government wants him alive?

one-piece
Why is Sanji wanted alive only?


I also thought about this question and I have to agree that at the moment we
can only guess what is the reason behind everything with Sanji.

Here are some facts:

  * Sanji is the only crew member about whom, we know nothing about (his family and his hometown). We just know he is from the North Blue.

  * Sanji has a very noble behavior and acts like a gentleman, which could be because of his education.

  * Sanji calls himself "Mr. Prince" in little garden.

  * Zoro calls him "Prince of idiots" during the fight with Foxy.

  * Sanji's following quote is also very suspicious:

  * Another point is that Sanji mentioned he was born in the North Blue and knew the land "Noland". Additionally, he wore a red-white hat two times (also in his zombie form), which have the same color as the buildings in the Lvneel Kingodm.

And these are just a few clues about Sanji. It seems obvious that Sanji's
history must be quite interesting. It's possible that Sanji has some secret
information which the Marines need, or he is an aristocrat, or maybe even a
World Noble whom they want to get back alive.

Additionally, I remembered this video with lots of speculation about Sanji.  
It's very interesting.

What came to mind was that it would be something to do with his past. With his
first wanted poster, the camera had the lens cap on, so there was no picture
and so few people really knew who Black Leg Sanji really looked like. But with
the new one, the picture finally came across some high up in the government
and finally recognize Adult Sanji and child Sanji. And this person being
someone with some pull was able to change the bounty to Alive only. But who
could this person be?? One idea was that someone that was on the ship that
Orbit, that Sanji was on before Zeff and the Cook pirates attacked. Myabe this
person felt guilty about Sanji being tossed overboard and not being able to
help him, wants to try to help him change his way.

or maybe some female navy officer saw Sanjis picture and flip out, the same
way he flips out when he sees any girl. And now she wants sanji for herself.

This was unknown when you asked, but later in chapter 812 we learn a bit.
Along the line, up to 875, we get the following conclusion.

> Sanji's dad did that. It is because he wants to capture him to marry one of
> Big Mom's daughters. The reason why Sanji was needed by his father who told
> him before "Don't you ever consider yourself my offspring again" is because
> whoever marries Big Mom's daughter becomes her pet. No Vinsmoke wants that.
> They just want an aliance with her. So his father realizes he had his old
> "failure of a son" and asked for that condition for the bounty. Before then,
> Sanji's "gentleman attitude" is a bit not like his father wanted, so he is
> locked up in a cell and runs away.
