User blog comment:Giotis/Which of the straw hats has the hardest past?/@comment-3242083-20110219021015

Nami had it the worst, by far. Instead of taking the punishment by herself (like Robin), she had to watch how it is passed to her loved ones - for years. But not only that, she constantly had to take responsibility for it. Arlong told her that SHE is the reason why the people of her hometown suffer, if she wont do as he says, they will die. Seriously, that's hardcore on a whole new level.

Sure, Robin's past is sad as well, but she could adapt to the situation on her own. After the Ohara incident she had nothing to lose, no responsibility - the "luxury" to deal with it by herself.

The other straw hats are not even worth mentioning, in comparison to Nami and Robin.
