"Reunited! Usopp Tells Nami's True Story" is the 34th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
Arlong's officers decimate a Marine ship, led by Pudding Pudding, that came to rescue survivors of Gosa Village. Usopp reveals to the crew he is indeed alive, having been saved by Nami. Nojiko then explains to them Nami's past.
Long Summary[]
Nami confronts the crew at the paddy field, clarifying her allegiance to the Arlong Pirates and asking them to leave the island before they are captured. However, determined to take Nami as his Navigator, Luffy vehemently refuses to leave the island, lying on the road to sleep. No longer wanting to face danger on the island, Johnny and Yosaku decide to part ways with the crew, bidding farewell to Zoro.
Usopp, revealed to be alive, reunites with the crew, revealing that Nami stabbed the back of her own hand, leaving him unharmed and allowing him to escape alive.
Meanwhile, the Marine 77th Branch, led by Commodore Pudding Pudding, near the island to rescue survivors from Gosa Village and capture Arlong. Arlong decides to send only three of his officers to repel the attack. While Chew intimidates the Marine forces onboard, Kuroobi tears off the ship's rudder and Hatchan creates an artificial maelstrom, sinking the ship and presumably killing all invading forces. Then, Arlong, to prevent Nami from purchasing Cocoyasi Village, summons Marine 16th Branch, led by Captain Nezumi, to her house.
Nojiko meets with Nami at her house, where Nami reveals she built truly positive experiences with the crew while they were together. Nojiko then goes to the crew, explaining to them Nami's past. Nami and Nojiko were raised in Cocoyasi Village by a woman named Bell-mère.
Characters in Order of Appearance[]
Episode Notes[]
- In the manga, the order of scenes is different. Almost every consecutive page shown a scene of the four locations - Arlong Park, Cocoyasi Village, the crew's location and Nami and Nojiko's house. However, in the anime, the scene in the same location are shown together.
- The following scenes are altered:
- A hooded Usopp runs through a forest to find his crew while recalling how Nami stabbed herself to save him. In the manga, he did not have a hood and instead wandered through a village before running to find them.
- Chabo leads Nojiko through the forest to the coast before they watch the 77th Branch Marines get defeated. In the manga, he meets her at the coast.
- Arlong and his officers talk for longer about Nami's maps and the money she plans to pay him for Cocoyasi Village. Hatchan was surprised to hear that Nami gathered the money, but he was cognizant of this fact in the manga.
- Nami recalls some memories with her crew while talking to Nojiko, including two original scenes and the fight against the Black Cat Pirates: one where she plays cards with Luffy and Usopp, and another where the crew tries to patch a leak in their ship. In the manga, these memories do not pop up, and Nami merely falls asleep mid-conversation.
