That statement has missed the mark just only by few yards.

Japanese's references to other languages are present on almost any chance that they may get.

The example that you set there, One Piece's Sanji's Techniques. It is mainly because the fact that he is a Cook (you can even consider him a chef). Anyone IRL that aims to reach that status has to study french regardless where they come from (OFC, only if they are not french already) as the vast majority of Cuisine terms are on french. That's the only reason.

As @Sancturil stated before me, both of their names are references from Latin.

And BTW, Japs are really into any foreign culture / language as long as they find it interesting. In fact, they are waaay more into Spanish culture than almost any other European one. Sad, but true.
