Arlong considered Nami on par with the fishmen due to her map making skills, he just accepted she couldn't help what species she was. Nami was also one of his officers pretty much. He celebrated her return whenever she came back home alive. He thought she saw eye to eye with him and didn't get that she wasn't happy.
