Chapter 79

Chapter 79 is titled "To Live".

Cover Page
Color Spread: The Straw Hat Pirates in a Wild West frontier town. Zoro is riding a huge black panther; Nami is lounging against a second, heavily drunk panther; Usopp is pointing a pistol straight ahead; and Sanji and Luffy are returning from a supply run, arms laden with bags and barrels.

Short Summary
After being kidnapped, Nami became a member of Arlong's crew.

Long Summary
After Bell-mère's death, Nami was kidnapped when Arlong discovered her ability for drawing maps. All the villagers decided to fight to take her back, but she suddenly came back by herself, revealing that she was now part of Arlong's crew. She even showed that she could earn all the money she wanted. Disgusted by this selfish behavior, the villagers rejected her. But when Nojiko went to her mother's grave, Nami was already sitting there. She explained to her sister that in order to accomplish their mother's last wish and live, they could not rebel against Arlong who was too strong for them. Instead she decided to draw maps for him, revealing that she would be able to buy her village back for 100,000,000.
