I think Nami and Brook had the hardest past. To be alone for 50 years on a ship where all your friends and crewmates died in a massacre, never seeing daylight is just very harsh for someone as friendly as Brook. For Nami, she's been forced to work for the pirate who murdered her mother and is stealing money from the village she is trying to save.
