History
A Map of the World: A Tragic Past and a Broken Dream
Nami is an orphan found by Bell-mère, a female Marine, on a hostile battlefield. The marine adopted her along with Nojiko, another child with her, and the three became as close as a real family.
As a child, Nami developed a love for drawing maps and navigation, and the dream to draw a complete map of the world. However, Bell-mère's tangerine trees provided only meager means of support and they were unable afford anything other than the bare necessities. As a result, Nami could not afford the navigation books, leading her to often steal them from the village bookshop. One day, Bell-mère scolded Nami when she got caught stealing; however, she applauded Nami's first drawing of the island as the first step of her dream to map the world and put faith into Nami that she really could do it.
In one year, in which the price of tangerines fell due to a large supply, Bell-mère had to eat only tangerines and give most of the food to Nami and Nojiko, but did not let on how bad the situation was to Nojiko and Nami. One day, Nami was given one of Nojiko's dresses by Bell-mère (who simply turned the sunflower on it into a lion) and Nami was offended. Nami wanted her own clothes not Nojiko's hand-me-downs. During the argument, Nami said she did not consider Nojiko a real sister, causing Bell-mère to slap her. Nami then ran off, saying that she wished she were adopted by rich people. Bell-mère is greatly touched, and she decided to spare some money and prepare Nami's favorite meal even though it would break her budget. She sent Nojiko to fetch Nami while she prepared the meal.
Bell-mère protecting her daughters.
Just at this time, the infamous fishman pirate Arlong who took over Konomi Islands came upon Cocoyasi Village, their adopted hometown and imposed a fee on every single adult and child in the village in order to 'live'. Since Bell-mère could not pay for her entire family's monthly fee for living, she was used as an example by Arlong to demonstrate to the townspeople what will happen to them if they ever go against him or fail to pay the fee. Bell-mère is then brutally murdered by a shot from Arlong in front of Nami and Nojiko.
Nami was then kidnapped and forced to become a cartographer for Arlong after he noticed the quality of her maps at such a young age. However, Arlong struck a deal with Nami: if she brought him 
100,000,000, he would free her village. At Bell-mère's death, she tells Nami and Nojiko to be strong and that "If you can survive, then happy times... lots of them... will come your way". This encourages Nami to work hard to buy Cocoyashi from Arlong, believing that once she freed the village, she could pursue her dream and find happiness. At the beginning of the series, Nami had spent eight years making maps for Arlong and stealing treasure from pirates in order to buy back her village.
East Blue Saga
Buggy the Clown
During her time, she managed to steal a map of the Grand Line from Buggy, then lay adrift at sea with an empty treasure chest, to which she tricked pirates, took their boat and their treasure instead. She is first shown (ignoring the shots from episodes 1, 2, and 3 that only appeared in the anime) running from three of Buggy's henchmen. Luffy just happened to fall out of the sky.
An explosion halts the chase for a moment and something crashes in the middle of the four. Luffy emerges from the smoke unharmed, wondering what shot at him. Nami suddenly gets an idea and calls Luffy "boss", asking him to take care of the pirates. The pirates crowd around Luffy, one them striking him on the head and knocking off his straw hat. This angers Luffy and he easily defeats all three. The girl, who was watching, is impressed by his abilities and introduces herself as Nami, a thief who specializes in robbing pirates.
Nami at first tries to form a partnership with Luffy but when she finds out he is a pirate, she switches to the idea to pretend to turn Luffy in to Buggy as her former boss. She ties up Luffy and gives him to Buggy who he locked him in a cage. Later Nami pretend to join Buggy's crew so she can steal his gold. This works well until Buggy orders her to kill Luffy to prove her loyalty. Nami's conscience gets the best of her and she is compelled to save Luffy. Fortunately, Zoro shows up in time to save them both and fights Buggy.
He cuts Buggy into pieces, marvelling at how easily he was defeated. But when he turns around, he finds that Buggy's hand has managed to detach itself, stabbing Zoro in his midsection. Buggy then reveals he has eaten the Bara Bara no Mi, a Devil's Fruit giving him the power to detach his body parts, separating into sections, rendering him invulnerable against sharp objects such as swords. However, the three of them manages to escape by firing Buggy's cannon at Buggy and his crew.
Escaping into the empty town, the three happen upon a dog, Shushu, and the Mayor of Orange Town, Boodle, who explains the dog's situation of guarding his master's pet shop, despite knowing his master is dead. But the talk is interrupted by the arrival of Buggy's first mate, Mohji, and his pet lion, Richie. Nami and Boodle escape (Zoro is recovering from his wound in the Mayor's house) but Luffy is still stuck in the cage Buggy imprisoned him in when Nami turned him in.
Richie attacks Luffy, breaking the cage and sending Luffy flying through a house. Noticing the pet store, he then turns his attention toward it. Shushu defends it to the best of his ability, but is no match for the lion. When Luffy comes back into the area, he sees the pet shop burned to the ground and the dog heartbroken over it. Luffy then confronts Moji and Richie and defeats both.
Nami, believing that Luffy destroyed the shop, attacks him saying that he is no different from the other pirates. However, she is stopped by Boodle. When Luffy gave the last box of dog food to Shushu, she realized that Luffy actually fought for the dog’s sake.
Boodle, inspired by Luffy's courage, goes to confront Buggy, but is almost choked to death. Luckily, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami arrive and save him, then knock him out to make sure he doesn't get in the way. Zoro fights with Cabaji, Buggy's second mate and swordsman, and despite his wounds, defeats him.
Nami shows no interest in the battle and sneaks off to steal Buggy's treasure. During the fight, Buggy reveals his acquaintance with Shanks and how he gained his powers. He then sets after Nami when he spots her taking his loot, but Luffy saves her. As Buggy separates his body parts again, preparing for another attack on Luffy, Nami steals some of them, tying the stolen body parts together.
Nami restraining Buggy´s body parts.
Buggy is left with just his hands, feet and head, vulnerable for Luffy to send him flying. Nami gives Luffy the map of the Grand Line as she thanks him and agrees to partner up with him for the time being.
As the trio starts to relax however, the townspeople come back into the town, and seeing their mayor knocked out, demand answers. Luffy replies that the three are pirates, and the townspeople chase them out of town, though the three managing to lose them thanks to Shushu’s intervention.
Boodle wakes up and set after them himself just as Luffy, Zoro, and Nami leave the island on two small boats, thanking the three from the dock as they sail off. To Nami's surprise however, Luffy had deliberately left one of her treasure bags behind to help the people of Orange Town rebuild their homes and she threatened Luffy never to do that again.
Duel with Captain Kuro
The Straw Hat Pirates arrive in Syrup Village, where we meet Usopp. Usopp entertains notions of grandeur by commanding the Usopp Pirates (composed of Usopp and three loyal village boys). Once the children run in fear, the three and Usopp share a meal, which Usopp leaves early. Nami lectures Zoro and Luffy on not eating the fish bones, to which the Usopp pirates mistake the three for cannibals, to Nami's annoyance.
The boys, Carrot, Pepper, and Onion tell them Usopp's wealthy friend Kaya is bedridden, but is well-provided for by her two butlers, Merry and Kurahadol. Luffy believes Kaya would be able to give them a boat, so they move forward to visit her. The group is sent flying into the backyard (by Luffy) only to intrude on an argument between Usopp and Kurahadol, who insults Usopp's father, and forces the group away from the house. While Usopp and Luffy bond, Nami and Zoro and the boys come across the moon-walking hypnotist Jango.
After Usopp runs past them hysterically screaming that Kurahadol is a pirate, they go in search for Luffy. Luffy confirms that Kurahadol is actually Captain Kuro, who plans on killing Kaya and getting all her money. Usopp returns but tells the boys that it was just a lie, as they leave disappointed at Usopp lying to hurt people not entertain.
The Straw Hats gain a great deal of respect for Usopp for tricking the boys to protect their well being, and his planning to take on an entire pirate crew and agree to help him (so long as Nami got the treasure). Usopp planned to have an oil slip to stop the pirates, to which he could snipe them with ease. However the four are on the wrong side of the island. Nami falls into the oil slick but manages to switch spots with Zoro and runs off to fight. Luffy became lost on his dash, caused for Usopp and Nami to initially fight the pirates alone.
Just before the two are killed, Zoro and Luffy arrive and fight Kuro's crew. Jango hypnotizes the crew to increase their strength but accidentally hypnotizes Luffy and Jango is forced to hypnotize Luffy to sleep again but accidentally causes the crew to be knocked out by the ship's stem post which Luffy was holding onto when he fell asleep. Meanwhile Jango summons the ship's guards the Nyaban brothers, Buchi and Sham who fight against Zoro. Disarmed of all but one sword, Zoro must fight an uphill battle against the team-work of Buichi and Sham which is difficult without all three swords and Zoro prevents Usopp from helping him by taking a hit from his Lead Star to keep him from getting dragged into the fight. Kuro then appears disgusted by how Black Cat pirates are getting beaten by children and gives the Nyaban Brothers five minutes before he kills everyone.
Nami is able to kick Zoro's swords back to him, allowing him to defeat the Nyaban brothers effortlessly, but Buchi survives and is hypnotized by Jango to give him more strength. Nami goes to wake Luffy up, and Jango tries to stop her with his Chakram, but at the last second Nami steps on Luffy's face that gets him up in time to stop the Chakram with his rubbery body.
The battle of Luffy against Kuro, Zoro against Buchi and a latter combination of Zoro and Usopp against Jango comes to an end while Nami remains off screen robbing the Black Cat Pirates of all their treasure.
Usopp decides that news of a real pirate attack might be too upsetting for the villagers and would affect their peace of mind since pirates don't normally come to an out of the way village. So he orders everyone to keep it a secret, which Kaya and his crew agree with. Kaya, is grateful to the Straw Hat Pirates, and gives them her ship, the Going Merry (or the Merry Go in the English dub). Usopp is grateful to them as well, and now has the confidence to disband his pirate crew and strike out on his own to be a real pirate. Usopp says goodbye to the Straw Hat crew, who become confused and tell him to stop and get on their boat with them and that he is part of their crew.
The Man in the Chest
The first part of this arc sees the group land on a mysterious island inhabited by strange creatures. After passing the "Test" of the forest, the Straw Hat Pirates (now comprising Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp) meet Gaimon, a pirate stuck inside a treasure chest that was marooned by his crew. The four become friends and Luffy agrees to help Gaimon get down the treasure he has been guarding on top of the rock. When Luffy refuses to throw down the treasure chests, Gaimon realizes that the chests on the rock are the same as the island’s other treasure chests which are empty. Seeing Gaimon’s disappointment, Luffy offers to take him off the island. Gaimon decides to remain on the island and protect the island’s rare animals which he has befriended. With that, The Straw Hats bid Gaimon goodbye and continue on.
Betrayal at the Baratie
The crew meets Johnny and Yosaku, Zoro's former bounty hunter companions, and they set sail for the Baratie restaurant in search of a cook. Luffy begins his job as a waiter to pay for the damage he did to the Baratie for Zeff, and tries to convince Sanji to join his crew. Nami, Zoro and Usopp pay him a visit while he works off his debt. After only first glance Sanji declares love for Nami, to which he gives her fancy food and she manipulates him into getting it for free. Back on the Going Merry, Johnny and Yosaku drops a pile of wanted posters; one of which Nami picks up and looks at intently, the poster of Arlong. While Johnny and Yosaku guard the boat, she asks them to turn away while she changes her top, and then pushes them off Merry. She then takes off alone with the Going Merry declaring that she was a thief who stole from pirates.
The Witch of Cocoyasi: Nami's True Intentions
Nami arrives at Arlong Park on Konomi Islands in the Merry. A boy confronts her, trying to fight Arlong for the death of his father. Nami slaps him however and gives some Beli to make him to go away. Zoro is brought to Arlong Park where he finds out Nami's allegiance to Arlong. After some banter, Arlong proudly states that Nami is the type of person who would betray even her own family for the sake of riches, which visibly disturbs Nami, trying to test her allegiance. Zoro throws himself into the water to test Nami. Nami saves Zoro but beats him to reassure Arlong. While in prison, Nami cuts Zoro's bonds to help him escape.
Arlong heads to Cocoyasi Village, where he confronts Genzo, the village sheriff, for simply owning a weapon. It's here that Nojiko, Nami's sister, reveals to Usopp about the monthly fee the villagers have to pay Arlong in order to survive. Just as Arlong is about to kill Genzo, Usopp saves him, and runs as some of the fishmen come after him while the others drag Arlong off before he goes berserk. Nami arrives sometime later, but the villagers treat her coldly and leave save for Nojiko and Genzo. Nami reveals to Nojiko that she enjoyed being part of the Strawhat crew, even for a short time. The three later visit the grave site of Nami's adoptive mother, Bell-mère, where Nami reveals she's almost finished paying Arlong's fee to buy back Cocoyasi.
The fishmen capture Usopp and threaten to kill him. Usopp asks for Nami for help, making the fishmen suspicious. Nami intercepts and announces that she will kill Usopp herself. Nami stabs her hand and kicks Usopp into the ocean to escape, while convincing Arlong and the fishmen that she had killed him and is indeed one of them while from afar Johnny looks on in horror. Luffy, Sanji, and Yosaku finally arrives and Johnny finds them and tells the group what he thought had happened to Usopp. Nami soon meets them and reminds Luffy that she just partnered up with him for the treasure. She then tells the group to take their ship back and get off the island but Luffy refuses, causing Nami to angrily walk away. Usopp comes across Luffy and the others and tells of what really happened. Nojiko finds the four and agrees to tell them the true reason behind Nami's motives. Though Luffy and Zoro don't heard it, Sanji and Usopp (as well as an eavesdropping Johnny and Yosaku) listen to the story of Nami's past.
Marines led by a captain named Nezumi land on the island and is revealed to have been long bribed by Arlong to ignore his actions on Konomi Islands. Nezumi has Genzo take him to Nami's home, where he accuses Nami of harboring illegal money. Nami tries to stop them, but the Marines find the treasure Nami had been collecting since being kidnapped by Arlong, 93,000,000 worth and only 7,000,000 short from her deal to buying Cocoyasi back. Genzo reveals to the Marines that the money is for the repurchase of the town, and admits to a startled Nami that he and the town always knew what she was doing after she "joined" Arlong. The Marines takes the money by force and leaves.
Luffy stopping Nami's self-harm.
Nami runs back to Arlong and accuses him of sending the Marines to look for her money. Arlong denies it and threatens Nami, claiming he never broke their deal and tells her that if she want her village back, she'll just need to start again from scratch. Back in the village, Genzo rallies the villagers. He wants to attack Arlong for going back on the deal he and Nami brokered. Afraid of more people from the village dying, Nami tries to halt them from the futile battle but fails to stop them. Feeling hopeless, Nami collapses to the ground stabs herself in the arm where Arlong's tattoo is many times, only to be stopped by Luffy. Nami tearfully asks for Luffy's help. He places his straw hat on her and accepts. With that, Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji march off to Arlong Park.
Along with Sanji, Zoro and Usopp, Luffy battles Arlong and his elites and defeats them all. In the process, Luffy finds Nami's map work room in Arlong Park and recognizes that it's the room that Nami did not want to be in and throws out the maps. At the downfall of Arlong, Luffy, rising from the collapsed building, shouts, at the top of his voice, that Nami is his nakama. Nami tearfully nods. Marines led by Nezumi try to interfere, and are also defeated by Luffy.
Nami's village is freed, and she rejoins the crew as a permanent member. In her way out of the village, Nami wished to say goodbye to no one. She left the entire treasure taken back from Nezumi in Nojiko's house for the village, and runs onto the Going Merry after stealing all of the villagers' wallets. This causes certain opinions for Nami to spring up, like Sanji cheering on Nami, Zoro saying that Nami might betray them again, Usopp saying that she hasn't changed, and Luffy laughing.
Arrival at Loguetown
The crew arrives at the last large town before the entrance to the Grand Line, Loguetown, the place where Gold Roger was both born and executed, where they stock up on supplies and sight see. Miraculously saved from death by an unnatural green gust and a lightning bolt to Buggy, the Straw Hats rush out of Loguetown. Nami and Usopp arrives at the ship and find Mohji, Buggy's crewmate was planning to burn their ship. They easily defeated them but as Marines got at the bay. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji arrive and get aboard.
Baroque Works Saga
Traversing Reverse Mountain and Meeting Laboon
The Straws Hats arriving at Reverse Mountain through the storm after fleeing Loguetown. They are nearly blown off course and into the Calm Belt but eventually reach the entrance of Reverse Mountain and manage to climb its uphill rapids despite some tricky close calls thanks to Nami's navigation. As they come down, they hear a noise and notice something is blocking their path. They identify the blockage as a huge whale which is threatening to crush the Going Merry. Luffy manages to keep the ship from crashing into it, but seeing the bow broken off enrages Luffy and he attacks the whale. The whale swallows the Going Merry and her crew, except for Luffy who manages to escape onto the whale's back.
Inside, the remaining Straw Hats suddenly find themselves in what looks like an outside setting with a house in the middle of the water where they meet an old man named Crocus, who revealed that the strange setting is in fact the whale's stomach. They later reunite with Luffy and two people inside known only as Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, who apparently are plotting to kill the whale. Crocus reveals that the whale's name is Laboon and that he is trying to ram into the mountain. Crocus begins to explain to the Straw Hats why the whale is covered with scars continually rams the mountain.
Crocus explains to the Straw Hats about how a regular compass will not work past Reverse Mountain and that they need a Log Pose if they want to travel the Grand Line. Crocus explains how the Log Pose works and mentions the final destination of the Grand Line, Raftel, where One Piece may lay as the only person to reach there was Gold Roger. Luffy reveals a Log Pose he found after they dumped Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday but it is broken so Crocus loans them his. The Mr. 9 pair spies on the group from afar until they are knocked into the ocean by the Unluckies for failing their mission to kill Laboon. They reacquaint themselves with the Straw Hats again and beg them to take the two to their hometown, Whiskey Peak, to which Luffy agrees. With that they bid Crocus and Laboon farewell and set off.
Pirate-Loving Town of Whiskey Peak
Nami enters a drinking contest.
When the crew arrives at Whiskey Peak, she manages to out drink at least 14 other people in the party. Later, once Vivi's identity as princess of Alabasta is revealed, Igaram begs Zoro to protect the princess and take her to Alabasta in return for a great prize. Nami offers to do it for 1 billion and Igaram is forced to agree. Igaram then explains Baroque Works to Nami while Zoro goes to protect the princess.
When Luffy starts a fight with Zoro due to a misunderstanding she breaks up the fight. Vivi then explains Baroque Works further to Nami, Luffy and Zoro and unwittingly revealed that Mr. 0 is, in fact, the Shichibukai Crocodile. This is witnessed by Mr. 13 and Miss Friday making the Straw hats targets for Baroque Works since no-one must know the true identity of a Baroque Works agent, especially the leader.
Igaram dresses up like Vivi and leaves the island intending to act as a decoy but his ploy fails and his ship is destroyed by Ms. All Sunday (whose real name is later revealed to be Nico Robin). She confronts the Straw Hats on their ship and gives them an Eternal Pose to the Island of Nothing, an island near Alabasta where no Baroque Works Agents would find them, only for Luffy to destroy it, stating that she (Ms. All Sunday) wasn't deciding the course they were taking. Ms. All Sunday states that she has no problem with a great spirit like Luffy's and quickly leaves the Going Merry on her turtle, shortly after the Straw Hats leave Whiskey Peak.
A Duel Disrupted in Little Garden
Nami trapped in Mr 3's wax.
With a newly acquired Princess Vivi on board, the Straw Hats soon find themselves on the prehistoric island Little Garden. While Usopp and Nami feel uncomfortable leaving the ship, Vivi and Luffy decide to go explore the island. Meanwhile, Nami and Usopp are terrified when Brogy, another giant, shows up and decapitates a Tyrannosaurus Rex. After a failed attempt at playing dead, he decides to bring them home with him, much to their alarm. (They believe the food he offers them is only to fatten themselves up.)
Back at Dorry's campsite, Dorry explains that Brogy and he are forever destined to continue their 100 year long war, which was started over a reason Dorry had long forgotten (it is later revealed that a quarrel about their hunting competition which resulted in their exile from Elbaf). Nami states that such a battle is pointless while Usopp disagrees and speaks of honor and then wishes to visit Elbaf and be a man like them. When Dorry and Brogy are just about to continue their bout, Dorry suffers from an internal explosion from his intake of the Straw Hats' wine, and Nami takes this opportunity to leave.
Nami and Zoro fall for Mr. 3's wax sculptures of their different crew mates and are captured, while the Mr. 5 team personally captures Vivi. Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek imprison Nami, Vivi, and Zoro in a trap which slowly turns them into wax sculptures. A battle breaks out where Luffy, Usopp, and Carue have to battle both the Mr. 3 and Mr. 5 teams to save their friends. When Usopp's plan succeeded in setting Nami free from her wax prison, her shirt is burned off, leaving her in just her bra and skirt (much to Sanji's enjoyment when he arrived shortly afterwards) who joined Vivi in knocking out Miss Valentine. It was later revealed by Dr. Kureha, that while Nami's navel was exposed, a prehistoric insect bit her, resulting in Nami catching a deadly disease.
Adventure in a Doctorless Kingdom
While looking for a doctor, the crew meets the pirate Wapol, who attacks them, but only makes Luffy send him flying.
They arrive at last to Drum Island, only to find out they're not welcome. The Straw Hat crew manages to gain the trust of the people that attacked them, and are taken to the village, except for Zoro and Carue, who guard the ship. Luffy and Sanji must take Nami to the island's sole doctor who lives on a mountain-top. An avalanche occurred and injures Sanji, leaving Luffy with the responsibility of carrying both Nami and Sanji to the doctor, and so begins his ascent. The Lapahn help Luffy escape from Wapol, giving him enough time to climb to the castle where doctor Kureha lives.
Nami stricken ill.
The recovering Nami meets a strange creature. After learning about him, Nami asks Chopper to join the crew, but he isn't interested. Kureha tells Nami some of what was Chopper's background. After realizing the abilities that Chopper has, Luffy is eager to make him join the crew. Doctorine continues to tell how Chopper lived his life and how the quack doctor Hiruluk took care of him. More of Chopper's past is revealed, including the fate of doctor Hiruluk and Wapol's cruelties as the king. Wapol is determined to bring down Hiruluk's flag, and to do that, he engages Sanji, Luffy and Chopper in a fight. After finally been convinced to join the team, Chopper announces his intentions to Dr. Kureha, who doesn't take it too well; but after escaping from the castle, she has decided to give the whole Straw Hat crew a farewell gift.
War in Alabasta
The crew saw a Sea Cat as they neared Alabasta. Starving for food, they try to capture it, but Vivi stops them since it was considered a sacred animal. As they pass through some steam from an underwater volcano, Luffy and Usopp caught an okama while fishing. As they waited for his crew to catch up, he entertains them with his Devil Fruit ability to copy other people's appearances (Mane Mane no Mi), one of which was Vivi's father. When the man's crew caught up, he was revealed to be Mr. 2 Bon Kurei of Baroque Works. Knowing his abilities, they made an 'X' mark on their right arms and covered them with bandages to know when he was posing as one of them.
The crew landed in Nanohana where they encounter Smoker and Tashigi . A powerful pirate named Portgas D. Ace appears, and is revealed to be Luffy's older brother. Ace fights Smoker while the Straw Hats run for their ship. Ace catches up to them and gave Luffy a Vivre Card before departing. They docked their ship near the once 'green city' of Erumalu where they see the extent of the country's suffering as Vivi explained how Baroque Works was using Dance Powder to cause it. After tackling some of the dangers in the desert, they reach Yuba where they meet Toto, a friend of the royal family. They find out that the Rebel Army has moved out of Yuba and headed to Katorea, and the rebel leader Kohza, Toto's son and Vivi's childhood friend, is determined to attack.
The crew travels to the city of Rainbase to take down Crocodile and Baroque Works, but run afoul of Smoker and Tashigi. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Smoker are trapped by Crocodile. Chopper distracts Crocodile while Sanji frees the rest of the crew. After escaping from Rain Dinners, Usopp and the crew together with Vivi crossed the desert to Alubarna, where the final battle will take place.
Nami releases Cool, Heat, and Thunder Balls to build clouds.
Crocodile, however, manages to catch Luffy, beginning the first round of their battle. The crew, excluding Luffy, proceeded to the Alubarna. As they reach the destination, they split up to distract the Baroque Works agents to engage their battle separately. Nami faced off against Miss Doublefinger while trying to figure out her new weapon, the Clima-Tact, at the same time. Unfortunately, Usopp made it more of party favor than a weapon. Regardless, she managed to defeat the Baroque Works agent with her most powerful attack at the time: the Tornado Tempo.
Nami defeats Ms. Doublefinger.
Later, the Straw Hats hurried to locate the bomb before it goes off. Vivi figured out where the bomb was, and had Usopp call the Straw Hats together with a flare. She found it inside of the clock tower, but Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day of Baroque Works were there. Vivi defeats them but realizes the bomb cannot be stopped so easily; Crocodile had made it a time bomb as a failsafe. Right before it blows up, however, Pell shows up and uses his Devil Fruit power to take it into the atmosphere, where he sacrifices himself to save Alubarna.
The Rebel and Royal armies continued to fight even after the bomb went off. It wasn't until it rained and Crocodile was revealed to be one behind the drought that they stopped. Tashigi and Smoker both were rewarded for taking on Crocodile, but neither one of them believed it was right since the Straw Hat pirates did all the work. Luffy rescued Nico Robin and Cobra from the collapsing tomb where he fought and defeated Crocodile. He was then brought to the palace to rest. When he awakened, a banquet is thrown for the pirates. They were then invited to enjoy the hotspring steam-room inside the palace.
Later that night, Mr. 2 Bon Kurei contacted them, telling them he prevented their ship from being taken by the Marines. During the journey back to their ship, Nami admitted to the others that she willingly gave up on the 1 billion that she previously demanded from Igaram to deliver Vivi to Alabasta for Vivi's sake.[1] The next day, the day of her speech, Vivi was to make a decision on whether or not she will stay on the crew. Meanwhile, Bon Kurei and his crew helped the Straw Hats escape from Hina so they could get to Vivi, who declined joining them for the sake of her country. Regardless, they all showed their 'X' mark to signify that they will still consider her as one of them. After escaping from the Marines, Nico Robin (Ms. All Sunday) appears from inside of the Straw Hat's ship. She manages to persuade the crew to let her join since she had nowhere else to go. She bribes Nami with some of Crocodile's gems to get on her good side.
Skypiea Saga
Rumble in Jaya
Nami's Log Pose begins to point to the sky, after that, a big ship falls from sky and the crew finds a map in of an island named "Skypiea" on a two hundred year-old ship. They compete with Masira's salvage crew while they search for more clues on how to get there. The Straw Hats decide to go to Jaya island to look for information on Skypeia. Jaya's main town is full of famous pirates that are constantly brawling with each other. Luffy and Zoro have a run-in with a pirate known as "Bellamy the Hyena", who ridicules their dreams and beats them up (or rather, Luffy allowed him to). Afterwards, Luffy, Zoro and Nami meet the man who is later revealed to be Blackbeard, who takes the opposite position to Bellamy in terms of dreams.
They leave Mock Town, and get into a fight with Masira's brother, Shojo. The Straw Hats meet with Montblanc Cricket on another part of Jaya. Cricket is a descendant of Montblanc Noland, an infamous "liar" who told of a gold city on Jaya, and Cricket was an outcast looking for artifacts of the gold city. He may be the only person who knows how to get to Skypiea. Cricket explains how the Straw Hats can ride a dangerous vertical current called the Knock Up Stream to get to Skypiea. However, they first have to catch a South Bird to point them toward the point where the stream will erupt from the ocean. While the Straw Hats are looking for a South Bird, Bellamy and his crew attack Cricket's house, and steal the gold artifacts he had collected over the years from his salvage work. When the Straw Hats return and see what happened, Luffy decides to take a side trip back to Mock Town, where he effortlessly defeats Bellamy and takes back the gold. The Going Merry is refitted by Masira and Shojo to be more flight capable, and the Straw Hats catch a ride on the Knock Up Stream for Skypeia.
Adventure in a Sky Island and Taking Down a God
Nami riding her waver.
After arriving in the White Sea, the Straw Hats come across the Gate of Heaven. They were recommended by an old woman named Amazon to pay a 1,000,000,000 extol fee per person, but even though they hadn't paid, she let them pass. As they were carried by a sky shrimp to the White-White Sea, they landed at a place that is surrounded by clouds. They met Conis, a Skypiean. As their conversation continues about the waver, the White Berets interrupt them and label them as criminals of illegal entry.
As Zoro, Nami, Chopper, and Robin climb aboard the ship, the shrimp suddenly carries them off to the Sacrificial Altar in Upper Yard. Nami, Zoro and Robin explore the land and discover it to be a part of Jaya. As they go back to the ship, they seen Gan Fall being treated by Chopper, who is physically injured due to his battle against Shura. They spend a night on Upper Yard to prepare for their trek to "the skull's right eye". The next morning, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji remain on the ship. Gan Fall illustrates to the three how an impact dial works. Enel suddenly appears and has a short conversation with Gan Fall.
God's Game
Nami and Gan Fall vs Hotori and Kotori.
After the conversation, he takes out Sanji and Usopp. Enel vanishes leaving Satori's brothers, Hotori and Kotori. Nami defeated Hotori while Kotori was defeated by Gan Fall. Pagaya and Conis arrive with a Shandian child named Aisa. Aisa tries to escape by jumping into the sea, and she is rescued by Nami shortly thereafter. As Nami and Aisa talked to each other, they were chased by Norla and ran to the middle forest. As they continue to proceed, they are swallowed by the snake together with Gan Fall. Inside, they meet up with Luffy, who had thought he was in a cave the whole time. As the snake falls open mouthed, Nami, Gan Fall, and Aisa manage to escape. Nami uses her waver and lands safely. The six left from Enel's Survival Game were Nami, Zoro, Robin, Gan Fall, Wiper, and Enel himself.
After everyone but Nami and Enel were wiped out due to resistance, Nami proclaimed that she would join Enel on his journey to the Endless Varse. Enel led Nami to his flying ark Maxim. After they they get on, Nami asks about the Mantra ability, and Enel says only he can use it to detect a specific person due to his Goro Goro no Mi abilities. A few minutes later, Luffy arrives to fight Enel. He puts up a good fight, taking Enel by surprise with his immunity to lightning. However, he is defeated and kicked off the ship with a golden ball welded onto his arm. Shortly after, Nami rejects Enel's leadership and protection thus provoking him to attack her. Nami uses her Clima-Tact to redirect Enel's lightning, but is powerless against his stronger attacks. Right then, Usopp arrives to save her, and later Sanji to save them both. Nami and Usopp escape with the waver, and later come back for Sanji.
Nami then took Luffy using her waver to go up Giant Jack. They send a message to the rest of the crew to cut down Giant Jack. Using the angle of the falling beanstalk, Luffy and Nami attempt to reach the Maxim. Enel attempts to sink Upper Yard to stop them, but Luffy manages to get up to Enel and eventually finish him off. Later they celebrate the ending of the four hundred year war. The crew was awakened by Luffy to steal the gold. A group of Skypieans came to give them the giant gold post from the golden bell as a reward, but the crew mistook it as a giant cannon. They ran to their ship and managed to return to the Blue Sea with the help of Pagaya and Conis.
CP9 Saga
Davy Back Fight
Nami's skills allows smooth sailing through the coral reef during the Donut Race.
Nami participated in the first Davy back fight event, the Donut Race, along with Usopp and Nico Robin against Porche, Kapoty, and Monda. During the race she demonstrated her astute navigation skills by easily guiding the raft through a coral reef (in spite of Foxy's interference) by using the eddies to carry their raft through. She also easily saw through all of Foxy's attempts to stall them such as a fake detour sign, a fake emergency victim and a fake finish line. Near the finish line her team was on the verge of victory, only to be slowed down by Foxy's Noro Noro no Mi power long enough to give him the victory. As a result Chopper was taken by the Foxy Pirates, in part to weaken the Straw Hat Pirate's Groggy Ring team (since team members cannot be replaced once teams are set) and also because he's "cute".[2]
In the next event, Groggy Ring, she helped Sanji and Zoro win by stealing the flagrantly biased referee's red card to prevent Sanji's disqualification and then tricking him into blowing the finishing whistle once Sanji and Zoro scored to seal their victory. As a result, Chopper was reclaimed.
After the Davy Back Fight, the Straw Hats are confronted by Aokiji, one of the three Admirals. Aokiji casually hits on her, asking if she's available which sparks the jealousy of Sanji. Aokiji reveals to the crew a little of Nico Robin's dark past, emphasizing that every organization she has joined has been wiped out, leaving her as the only survivor. Nami, with the rest of the crew try their best to protect Robin but she is effortlessly knocked aside by the Admiral. She helps thaw out Robin and restore her.
Water 7: A Breaking Ship, a Breaking Crew
Nami and her money.
After the Going Merry narrowly escapes being hit by a "sea train" the crew meets an old woman, Kokoro, and her granddaughter, Chimney. Kokoro gives Luffy a map to Water 7. Luffy, Nami, and Usopp buy boats driven by sea monsters called "Yagara Bulls". Luffy, Nami, and Usopp get strange greetings from the residents and they get to experience the roller coaster-like channels of Water 7. They find out that some pirates had been beaten at the hands of some powerful craftsmen; the Galley-La Company. Luffy has their gold exchanged for cash.
They later meet a man who resembles Usopp, Galley-La's carpenter employment foreman, Kaku. Two of the suitcases of money are stolen by the Franky Family. Paulie makes his debut when he retrieves Usopp's stolen money as he runs from debt collectors. Kalifa shows Luffy, Nami, and Usopp around Dock No.1 and tells them how Iceburg founded the Galley-La Company. Kaku returns from the Going Merry and tells them that their keel is irreparably damaged. Luffy refuses to believe that Galley-La cannot repair the Going Merry. The two soon realize that not only is Usopp missing now, the two briefcases that were returned to them are empty.
Nami decides to head to Franky House and finds Usopp on the way in a pitiful state. As she heads back to the ship for help, Usopp goes to the Franky House himself. Once they're back on the ship, Luffy has to finally tell Usopp that the Going Merry can no longer be repaired and that they've chosen to get a new ship without him. Usopp believes that Luffy has abandoned the dignity of their ship and says he's leaving the crew. That night, he challenges Luffy to a duel. Usopp fights Luffy in order to decide who keeps the Going Merry; he fights harder than he's ever fought before, even brandishing an Impact Dial for the first time (in the Manga). However, due to his opponent being Luffy, he loses and the Straw Hats get themselves a hotel room, leaving Usopp on the Merry.
Nami finds the crew on the roof with urgent news; Iceburg has been shot. As the Galley-La Company frantically search for answers, Nami and Luffy decide to check on his condition - only to be met by closed gates. Franky appears then to exact his revenge - with style. The Galley-La Company run outside and stop Franky and Luffy and tell them that they suspect the Straw Hat Pirates of the crime. Chopper reunites with the others without Sanji and they discuss what's happened. Luffy decides that in order to know the full truth, they must catch Robin.
The Straw Hats (still missing Sanji) rush to Galley-La where Robin and CP9 begin a raid. The Straw Hat Pirates and Paulie break into the room where they find Iceburg and CP9. Luffy and the others request that Robin comes back to the crew. She refuses and tells them that she cannot accomplish her "wish" if she were to stay with them. Robin turns to leave and CP9 try to hold the pirates back. Robin successfully escapes and Rob Lucci shows those remaining his "transformation". Lucci's transformation is a result of the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard. He quickly disposes of the crew and CP9 tie up Paulie and Iceburg, leaving them alone as the building slowly burns down around them.
Iceburg makes it clear to Nami that Robin wanted to recover the blueprints and to do that, she wanted her companions to leave the island without her. Nami rushes to tell Chopper so they can go looking for the rest of the crew. Paulie helps clear the name of the Straw Hats but doesn't tell the mob everything he knows. He gets the mob to follow Chopper so they can search for the rest of the crew.
Zoro, Paulie and Luffy out run a wave.
Nami goes her own way so she can rush to the Sea Train. As Nami nears the station, Sanji, ahead of her, approaches the train. Nami and the conductors are rescued by Paulie when the Aqua Laguna floods the main station. A man hands Nami a letter he found from Sanji. It informs her that Usopp, Franky, and he are on board the train that had just departed. Nami speaks with Kokoro and spots Luffy, stuck in between two buildings, in the back streets where the Aqua Laguna will hit first. Nami finally reaches Luffy and tells him that he needs to hurry before Robin reaches Enies Lobby. Luffy pushes apart the buildings he was stuck between and Paulie grabs them all so they can escape the Aqua Laguna's massive wave.
Seeing how determined Luffy is to save Robin, Kokoro and Iceburg lends the Straw Hat crew the use of another sea train, Rocket Man. The Franky Family shows up, pleading with Luffy to let them join them because they'll do anything for their leader. Luffy accepts, and the Rocket Man finally makes it out to sea, with the Franky Family close behind on Sodom and Gomorrah. It is revealed then that the remaining executives of the Galley-La company stowed away to take revenge for Iceburg. With a common goal, the Straw Hats, Franky Family, and Galley-La Company form an alliance.
With a small effort from Luffy and Zoro, they pass through Aqua Laguna unscathed and the passengers rejoice. Sanji contacts the rest of the crew and fills them in on his current situation. Back in the Rocket Man, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Chopper get an outfit change; Nami shows off the weapon Usopp upgraded for her while he was still with them. Those on the Rocket Man encounter the discarded cars and Zoro slices them so they can pass. Zoro clashes with "Ship Cutter" T-Bone. The fight is short and Zoro joins the crew again in the Rocket Man.
Yokuzuna the frog jumps onto the front of the train, knocking them from the rails. After Kokoro speaks with him, he joins the group. Luffy and the others finally catch up to Sanji, Usopp, and the rest of the Franky Family as they near Enies Lobby. Paulie sits down with the group and talks about their plan. Predictably, Luffy doesn't bother to follow the plan, and slingshots himself beyond the gates before the train stops.
Rescuing a Nakama from Enies Lobby
Kumadori binds Nami.
When they land on the Enies Lobby island, Nami tries her new weapon, the Perfect Clima-Tact, on a bunch of marines. Together with the Straw Hats, they ride Sodom but get knocked off by a mortar shell and later transfer to Gommorah. When they reach the Courthouse, they find they've been blocked by the Baskerville. The Franky Family handles the Baskerville and together they proceed. As they wait for the bridge to be activated, they line up on the roof convincing Robin to accept their request to save her. When they confirm that the bridge will not be fully activated, only half, Kokoro voluntered her help using the Rocketman. The Rocketman uses the bridge as a ramp and Nami, together with her nakama, is grabbed by Luffy and they jump.
Nami vs Kalifa
As they land, Fukuro shows up declaring that a key is needed to uncuff Robin, which each agent holds. The crew decide to fight individually and search for an agent. Nami confronts Kumadori and makes a short conversation. She steals his key without him noticing, but can't escape from him. She is saved by Chopper and after running they see a fallen object, Sanji. As she finds out that Sanji's enemy is Kalifa, who is a woman. She confronts her after blaming Sanji for his stupid chivalry, and being defeated.
She starts at a disadvantage, becoming slippery by Kalifa's new Devil Fruit ability, the power to control soap bubbles (Awa Awa no Mi). After being heavily injured, she finds the ability's weakness, water. After this realization, Kalifa starts to use her Rokushiki techniques. Nami then generates a rainfall using her new Clima Tact, and returns back to normal. She defeats Kalifa with a Thunder Lance Tempo and grabs the key. She is found by Franky and together they proceed.
When she escapes through the tunnel, she is met by Kokoro, Chimney, and a sleeping Chopper. Water starts to flow through the passage they are in, and they run. They catch up with Zoro, Sogeking, and Sanji, who are also running from the rushing water. They are saved by Kokoro who turns out to be a mermaid. They find an escape ship and go into it. As they ride in their escape ship, they fight a bunch of marines to defend it. Unfortunately, their escape ship explodes.
The Going Merry's funeral.
As Luffy defeats Lucci, their next problem is their escape ship. Nami hears a voice telling them to jump into the sea. They realize that the voice was the Going Merry and together, they jump all and finally escape.
With the Going Merry, everyone has managed to escape Enies Lobby safely. However, after escaping, Iceburg arrives in a Galley-La just in time to pick up the Straw Hat Pirates as the Merry suddenly breaks apart. Luffy then gives the Going Merry a viking funeral by burning it as the crew tearfully says goodbye.[3]
Aftermath of Enies Lobby
Nami eavesdropping on Luffy and Coby.
Nami is later seen lounging by a pool while eavesdropping on Luffy and Coby's conversation with a Den Den Mushi about military technology (such as putting Kairouseki on the bottom of military ships) in order to discover how ships could cross the Calm Belt. When she heard them laughing and catching up on old times, she stopped listening to the conversation to give them some privacy. Later, she went to the victory party with the other Straw Hats, and Paulie complained about her swimsuit.
After the party, she was upset to see that so much of the 100,000,000 had been spent on the party, and beat up Luffy over it. She was disappointed over not being able to buy furniture, but quickly forgot about it while going clothes shopping with Robin.
Nami received her first bounty: 16,000,000. Out of all the Straw Hats, she is the only one complaining about receiving a bounty (though not the only one to complain at all). It is found out that the photographer told her that he was a Water 7 reporter, so she willingly posed.[4]
During the discussion over Usopp's plans to return, Nami argued that Usopp should be allowed to return after Zoro raised his objections. When Usopp rejoins the crew, while both he and Luffy are crying over each other, she says, smiling through her tears, that they are both idiots.
Whitebeard War Saga
Adventure on Ghost Island
After sailing for some time on the Thousand Sunny, Nami and the rest of the crew came across a mysterious barrel floating on the ocean. Upon opening it, a flash shot up from it. A mysterious storm then came out of nowhere. Nami, using her skills as navigator, navigated the ship out of harm's way. Nami and the rest of the crew found themselves in the presence of a ghost ship.
Wanting to explore for treasure, Nami decided to tag along with Luffy who decided to explore the ship. Sanji decided to tag along with them in order to keep an eye on Nami. There they met a skeleton named Brook, whose rude behavior left a very bad impression on Nami.[5] Then Luffy asked Brook to join his crew which in turn the skeleton accepted. This shocked both Nami and Sanji.
After climbing back down to the Thousand Sunny, the crew decided to have dinner. Over dinner, Nami learned of the skeleton's past.[6] Just as Brook was about to perform before Nami and the rest of the crew after dinner, a ghost appeared and some clanking sounds were heard. These sounds were caused by the gates of the island that suddenly appeared, Thriller Bark, closing. These events prompted Brook to head to the island before Nami and the rest of the Straw Hats' eyes.
Nami, Usopp, and Chopper riding the Mini Merry.
With Luffy's resolve to go to the island, Nami couldn't do anything about it. At that moment, Franky then decided to show the crew a little present, the Mini Merry II. This pleased the crew so much that Nami decided to take out for test drive with Chopper and Usopp. However, while sailing on the little boat, Nami and her companions accidentally bumped into the moat of Thriller Bark and fell from the Mini Merry II into it. There, the three met the Cerberus which chased them until they hid in a tree.[7] In the tree, the three met Hildon who decided to take them to met Dr. Hogback, to Chopper's delight.
After riding a carriage with Hildon through some woods filled with all sorts of stitched-up creatures, Nami and her companions were left in the middle of a cemetery. There, they were attacked by some Zombies which they luckily escaped from. They then came across Hogback's mansion and met with the good doctor and his maid, Cindry.
After dinner with the good doctor, in which the three asked about Brook, Nami decided to take a bath. In the middle of it however, she gets attacked by an invisible being.[8] Luckily, Usopp came in the bathroom and drove it away, after seeing Nami naked. After the incident in the bathroom, Nami and her companions found out that the paintings and taxidermy in the dining room were all Zombies. Fortunately, the three escaped through a secret door before the Zombies could catch them.
Beyond the secret door, Nami and her companions found themselves in a room filled with Cindry's pictures. Through a newspaper article that Nami found, the three learned that Cindry was an actress that died ten years ago. Just as they were about to leave, the three stumbled across a treasure chest. Nami was very eager to find treasure that her mood completely changed from that when she learned about the previous revelation. Inside however, was a horrific Jack in a box that frightened the three out of the room.
Nami unconscious in a wedding gown.
As the three were running through the hallways of the mansion from more painting Zombies, a mysterious bodyguard decided to chase them. Eventually, Nami, along with Usopp and Chopper, overhear Moriah about his plan of creating Oars, the strongest zombie. Eventually, the trio are caught and make a run for it and soon have to fight a bunch of zombie bodyguards. During the battle, Nami is captured by Absalom. After being taken away, she is given sleeping pills and dressed in a white wedding gown. Sanji arrives and gains the upper hand against Absalom before Oars comes. As Sanji is distracted for a moment, Absalom seizes Nami, makes her invisible, and escapes to complete his wedding.
Nami regains consciousness while Absalom is just about to kiss her, she then attempts to evade his kisses. Lola then arrives, initially attacking Nami for being chosen as Absalom's bride before attacking him to allow her to escape. Absalom shoots Lola down with his invisible Bazooka, but Nami then defeats him with one hit of Swing Arm, not realizing that he had been weakened from his fight with Sanji. Lola then revealed that she always knew Nami was a woman.
On her way out, Nami passes over Franky's bridge and finds Perona loading treasure onto her ship in an attempt to escape. Perona plans on attacking Nami, but the Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma arrives and apparently teleports Perona away when she attempts to attack him. He then asks Nami if Luffy has a brother, and she says he does in panic.
Nami and the Strawhats vs. Oars.
Nami finally arrives at the battle against Oars and Moriah right at the time Franky is stormed by Oars. But one by one, the members are incapacitated, except for her and Usopp. As Oars is about to beat them, Luffy saves them almost instantly. He invokes a new form- Nightmare Luffy, which allows him to seriously injure Oars and Moriah. Lola's crew catches up to Luffy's crew and starts to cure the Straw Hats; Meanwhile, Brook is heavily injured. But Oars manages to stand up again, which leads to all of the Straw Hats using team tactics in order to break Oars' spine bone, permanently incapacitating him.
However, Moriah awakens and emerges, and after a brief speech, uses his greatest power, Shadow Asgard, to maximize his power. Using his Gears tactically, Luffy finally finishes Moriah off and faints from exhaustion and wounds, in the process giving everyone their shadows back and leaving Moriah unconscious but alive. Nami is seen in this time standing around with everyone and watch the result of battle.
Nami then remembers Kuma is on this island and tells everyone. Meanwhile, Kuma reports that Moriah has failed to defeat Luffy and is badly wounded, he is ordered to kill everyone on Thriller Bark and evacuate the wounded Moriah. However, instead of outright killing everyone as his orders said, he offers everyone a deal, let him have Luffy's head (who cannot fight back now) and he'll leave everyone alone. The Straw Hats and everyone else on the island refuse, and he sets off his bomb-like Ursus Shock that badly wounds everyone. Unbeknownst to most of the rest of the crew, Zoro persuades Kuma to leave Luffy alone, and in return accepts all the pain and fatigue Luffy had gathered.
The Straw Hat crew as they celebrate in their ship for their new nakama Brook.
Soon after, Nami joins everyone in a celebratory party at Thriller Bark (save for Zoro, who is still recovering from his wounds, and Nami is seen by his bedside) lead by Brook and his piano. Luffy finally reveals to Brook that he is friends with his nakama, Laboon. Brook stops partying, cries, and reveals a Tone Dial which has the last song the Rumbar Pirates ever performed together on it. Brook states that since he has new friends in Luffy and the others, he no longer needs the Dial and will give it to Laboon the next time they meet. Brook then asks if the Straw Hat crew invite is still good and Luffy says it is, Nami joins the others in a shocked response.
After the funeral of Brook's shipmates, the Straw Hat crew, including Brook, leave Thriller Bark, but not before Nami receives a gift from Lola, which is a Vivre Card of Lola's mother. Luffy mentions he has a similar card of Portgas D. Ace. When the card he has is revealed to be burning, Lola told him that Ace is in danger. When Nami asks Luffy about saving Ace, he declines and says that Ace can take care of himself.
An Incident at Sabaody Archipelago and Destruction of the Straw Hat Crew
When the crew reached the halfway point of the Grand Line, Nami looked at her Log Pose, and it was pointing down meaning Fishman Island is right below them. Luffy, Robin and Brook took the Shark Submerge to look in the depths only to find a rabbit-like Sea King. Luffy defeated it which then upchucked a mermaid (Keimi) and a starfish (Pappug). Nami was surprised to see the mermaid in its existence. Keimi then told the crew that her friend named "Hatchin" has been captured and must be rescued. Nami told Keimi that they will rescue him if she could find a way to get to Fishman Island.
Nami accepts Hatchan's Takoyaki.
At the kidnapper's hideout, a trap was being set. In the cage was the captive. When the crew saw that it was "Hatchan", five of the nine members were not exactly happy to see him. Despite all this, Nami agreed to get Hatchan freed from his situation. Keimi tried to free him herself only to be captured by the Macro Fishmen. Luffy then rescued Keimi and the crew then battled the Flying Fish Riders. They eventually freed Hatchan so that he can deal with the Macro Fishmen. After that battle, the leader Duval attacked the Straw Hat crew in his anger and Sanji soon defeated him. There was then a victory party taking place. Hatchan nervously asked Nami to have some Takoyaki without her beating him. Nami said that she still hadn't forgiven him from before, but tried some anyway and told him they were quite good.
The crew then went to search for a man in which Keimi said would help with getting their ship to Fishman Island. When Nami saw some shopping malls, she went there with Robin to go shopping. She was listening to Robin talking about fishmen rights and how they lived their lives and when Robin finished Franky came and warned them that Keimi was captured and being sold. When she and Franky arrived at the auction house at Grove 1, Franky thought of getting Keimi back by force. Nami thought it would be easier to play by their rules by buying Keimi back with the money they have. That plan however was thwarted when Saint Charloss made a higher bid and thus, Keimi was sold. Hatchan was very mad at this. Luffy, along with the rest of the Rosy Life Riders then arrived.
Hatchan wanted to stop Luffy from having to strike at the Tenryubito for that would call upon an Admiral. Saint Charloss then shot at Hatchan in hopes he could have another slave for free. Nami, having heard the stories of fishmen discrimination, was feeling upset for Hatchan but not as upset as Keimi was as she saw her friend getting shot. From this, Luffy then gave Saint Charloss a well-deserved punch in the face. The auction house went silent and then fled except for Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law, who were amused by this. Hatchan was surprised to see Luffy defending him and Nami forgives Luffy for being himself as usual. After Keimi was freed, the auction house was surrounded by Marines, which were easily defeated by Luffy, Kid, and Law. Everyone made their escape with Nami using Thunderbolt Tempo.
After their escape, the Straw Hats went to Shakky's Rip-off Bar to recuperate where Silvers Rayleigh had told them that he was part of Gol D. Roger's crew. His mentioning that Buggy was in Gold Roger's crew with Shanks caused her (along with Zoro) to recall their unpleasant encounters with him in East Blue. Rayleigh tells the Straw Hats he needs at least three days to coat the Thousand Sunny, so he gave all of them Vivre Cards to locate him as he plans to move the ship.
Just as the Straw Hats depart Shakky's Rip Off Bar and say their farewells to Shakky, Keimi, Pappug, and Hatchan, they are soon confronted by someone who appears to be Bartholomew Kuma. After fighting him for a short time, the Straw Hats, specifically Zoro, realize that who they're fighting may not be the real Kuma after all, but rather a Pacifista replica, as he hasn't used any of his Nikyu Nikyu no Mi abilities. Despite knowing he was not the real one, they still have difficulty injuring his body, which is harder than steel. When the Pacifista spotted Nami and attempted to fire on her with her beam Robin pounded his mouth shut with her powers, causing the beam to damage the Pacifista. Nami took advantage of the groggy cyborg by firing a Thunder Lance Tempo right through its torso, doing enough damage to make it go berserk. The rest of the fight was left to the three strongest members of the Straw Hats: Sanji, Zoro and Luffy.
After the fight, most of the Straw Hats were left exhausted, but the arrival of Sentomaru and another Pacifista, PX-1, forced them to flee. Nami split up with Sanji and Franky, but the Pacifista intercepted them. Kizaru arrives and attacks Zoro, easily dominating the fight. In the nick of time, Silvers Rayleigh arrives and deflects the finishing blow, buying some time for Luffy to yell to his crew to escape, with the plan being to lay low, and survive for three days, and rendevous at the Thousand Sunny. Before this plan can be carried out however, the real Bartholomew Kuma appears, and using his powers, picks off the Straw Hats one by one, much to Luffy's dismay. Nami pleads to her captain for help, which is cut short when she suddenly seems to vanish into thin air.
Straw Hat Separation Adventure: Weatheria
Haredas shows Nami the Wind Knot.
After being sent flying for 3 days, Nami was revealed to have landed on a small sky island called Weatheria, where the study of weather is conducted. A local man named Haredas took her in and cared for her. She was later seen crying, stating that she wanted to go home. In order to cheer her up, Haredas showed Nami a special knot that caused wind to blow when pulled. Unamused, Nami took out her frustration on him. Later, the two are seen together as Nami observes Haredas doing business and the pair are shown again, with Haredas showing Nami "weather science".
Later, Nami is imprisoned by the scientists for attempting to steal their experiments and information. Upon reading about Ace's death in the newspaper she breaks down sobbing, understanding the heartbreak that Luffy had gone through. Seeing this, the scientists let her free, but it turns out to be a ruse and she manages to escape by taking Haredas hostage. While running, she notes that Luffy had always been there to support his crew to the best of his capacity during their darkest hours, so now it is their turn to return the favor. Though her still-flowing tears caused Haredas to note that her "fake" tears were still flowing, to which she snaps back at him to shut up.
Haredas tells Nami about the New World's climate.
While she and Haredas are escaping, she reads the article about Luffy returning to Marineford and gets frustrated at him for not thinking about the crew and only himself. Later, she is caught by the scientists, who reprimand her, but cries crocodile tears to make the scientists apologetic. She runs off, saying she forgives them and that she wants a house from them to live in. Shortly afterwards, she is informed by Haredas of the New World's strange weather and decides that she must learn all about it to be able to help her reckless captain, Luffy, reminiscing of her past experiences with him all the while. She asks Haredas to teach her about the weather ball, but he says that if it is used improperly, it could plunge the world into chaos. Nami then asks about the possibility of using it as a weapon much to Heredas' dismay.

At a bar, where a group pretending to be the Straw Hats are recruiting crew members, Nami learns that Marine Headquarters has been relocated due to the decision of Sengoku's successor. When the Fake Luffy has his sights on Nami, she casually rejects him. The Fake Nami then threatens her, but Usopp comes and repels the impostor Straw Hat pirates with his new Pop Green weapon. Nami is overjoyed to see Usopp again and comments that Usopp has become more manly after giving Usopp a hug. Nami then gives the fake Straw Hats a thunder cloud and leaves the bar with Usopp. They are next seen having a conversation elsewhere.
Nami and Usopp then ran into Chopper, who is searching for "Robin". After telling Chopper that the Straw Hats he encountered are fakes, they return to the Thousand Sunny. There, they get reacquainted with Robin, Franky, Rayleigh, and Shakky. As Franky amazes Usopp and Chopper with his new upgrades, Nami comments on Franky's unusual body. Rayleigh then says that he is going to teach Nami on how to operate a coated ship. She was pleasently surprised when she heard from Rayleigh that Luffy was already in the archipelago.
After the ship arrives at Grove 42, Brook soon boards the ship. Brook then asks Nami if he can see her panties again after two years. Nami responds by kicking him across the ship, commenting that she didn't show him her panties two years earlier either. She also comments that none of the others have matured in two years. After the Monster Trio arrives with the help of Chopper and a giant bird, Nami greets them all. When Luffy starts admiring Franky's new body, Nami pulls him away while telling him that there are Marine ships nearby.
The Straw Hats descend to Fishman Island.
Nami sees the Kuja's Pirate ship along with the rest of the crew, and Robin informs her about the Kuja Pirates. Nami is then surprised to find out that Luffy knows Boa Hancock and that Luffy was sent to Amazon Lily. Nami then explains how the ship is going to sail underwater and says that they need to raise the sails when Franky releases the floats. Luffy asks Nami if they're ready to set sail, to which she replies yes, and with that she is seen cheering with the rest of the crew as the ship sets sail for Fishman Island.
Journey to Fishman Island
Nami, along with the crew marvels at the underwater scenery. She is then asked by Sanji to explain what they need to know about a coated ship. As she replies, Sanji gets a massive nosebleed. After Sanji is saved by Luffy, Nami starts explaining about the coated ship. She then sits down and eats one of Luffy's Kuja lunchboxes as Franky explains how their ship was kept safe for two years by Kuma.
With the help of their seacow, the Caribou Pirates caught up with the Straw Hats and prepare for battle. After Caribou sets foot on the Thousand Sunny, Nami recognizes the seacow, which turns out to be Mohmoo. Mohmoo fled in fear after seeing Nami, Sanji, and Luffy leaving Caribou behind. The Straw Hats then tie up Caribou as he begs for mercy. With that settled, Nami then explains the underwater currents and the right path to take, but as usual, most of the other Straw Hats quickly lose interest in Nami's explanation much to her annoyance. When they reach the "underwater waterfall", the crew encounters the Kraken. Much to Nami's dismay, Luffy insists on taming the sea monster. Nami screams in terror when she witnesses the Kraken destroying Caribou's ship. Nami suggests Franky to use the Coup De Burst to escape the Kraken, but Franky says that will make the ship's bubble shrivel. The Monster Trio then equip themselves with Barefoot Coating, fight the Kraken out in the sea and defeat it. However, because the Monster Trio are not wearing life-lines, they got separated from Nami and the rest of the crew as the ship goes down the underwater current.
After reaching 7000 meters below the surface, the crew encounters more sea monsters. She along with the rest of the crew are spooked by all the deep sea creatures. When it came to light that Caribou had managed to escape, she started to get worried, though he was quickly captured by Franky. As it started to get hotter, Nami realized that they were near undersea volcanoes and told the crew to steer away from them. However they soon saw a light in the ocean, which they approached before realizing that they were headed straight into the jaws of a Sea Devil. They were saved thanks to an Umibozu, who quickly revealed himself to be an enemy. Then a ghost ship appeared, scaring her along with Chopper, Usopp and Brook. They quickly found out that the ghost ship is in fact the Flying Dutchman, led by captain Vander Decken. As they were about to be attacked by the Umibozu, they were saved thanks to the newly tamed Surume. However just as soon as the crew was once again reunited, the sea started rumbling, with Nami confirming that an undersea volcano was about to erupt.
Nami telling the crew to get away from a volcanic eruption.
Nami orders Luffy to tell Surume to get far away from the volcano. However, Surume is already running away. She seems pleased that they are able to escape. She then notices that the magma is running down the side of the volcano to the ocean floor and that the currents were swirling due to the temperature differences. She says that they need to go a little farther to make it into a specific trench. When Franky sees something above the ship, Nami realizes that it is a rockslide caused by the volcano, effectively destroying the trench. When they reach the bottom of the trench, there is a bright light emmenating from an island. Nami confirms with the log pose that they have arrived at Fishman Island. She then tells Luffy to stop thinking about the food on the island and help her search for an entrance.
Nami recognizes Arlong's mark.
When Hammond and the New Fishman Pirates show up, Nami looks uncomfortable seeing the tattoo of the Arlong Pirates on his neck. Hammond gives the crew two options: join the New Fishman Pirates or die. Knowing that Luffy will reject Hammond's offer of joining the New Fishman Pirates, she tells Franky to refuel the ship. She says that they don't stand a chance against the fishmen, as the water pressure is too strong. She then tells Franky about her plan to use the last of the ship's air in a Coup de Burst to get away from the pirates and charge right into Fishman Island.
Adventure in the Underwater Paradise
Vacation on Fishman Island
Hammond does not take kindly to Luffy's rejection and prepares to attack the Thousand Sunny. Franky activates Coup de Burst and the ship flies through the bubble surrounding Fishman Island. The ship then falls into a current and the Straw Hats get separated.
Nami remained with Franky and Robin after their entrance to Fishman Island. They went on separate ways to do different things. Nami decided to do some shopping. Nami eventually makes her way to Pappug's mansion. She then goes for a little shopping in the Criminal clothing store on the first floor. Nami complains for the expensive prices and bargains with a store clerk to lower the prices. She then reunites with Luffy, Usopp, Brook, Pappug, and Keimi. Nami scolds Pappug for the high prices and demands a discount. However, Pappug decides to let Nami and her friends have anything they want for free. After hearing this joyful news, the pirates quickly empty the store much to Pappug's dismay. They then hear a commotion outside the store and they find that King Neptune has arrived to meet the pirates. Nami and the others are then invited by the King to Ryugu Castle.
The Straw Hats, Keimi, and Pappug are riding on Megalo and Neptune is on Hoe, as he calls to them not to fall off. Luffy asks Nami if she knew where the others went. Nami told them that Franky went to look for one of Tom's relatives and Robin went to look up some important history, so the three split up. She told them they didn't really have too many problems. Nami then asks Neptune a question, calling him grandpa, causing Pappug to bite her on the head and tell her to call him god of the sea, master Neptune. She asks why Fishman Island is so bright despite being 10,000 meters below the surface. Neptune told her that Fishman Island came to be when fishmen began living on the sea floor where there was light. He explained that the roots from a tree called Sunlight Tree Eve reach down to the sea floor and transfer light to Fishman Island.
Upon arriving at the palace, everyone looked at in awe and Nami marveled at its beauty. After entering the castle, Luffy wanders off in search for food and Nami wonders where Luffy went.
Trouble Brews
Nami, Usopp, and Brook fight back against the Ryugu Palace guards.
After receiving word of the mysterious disappearances of the mermaids from Mermaid Cove and of Madame Shirley's ominous prediction, the palace guards and personnel took action against the Straw Hats. Nami, Usopp, and Brook battle against the attacking guards. Nami is surprised to see Zoro, who was locked up a while ago, joins the fight.
The Straw Hats eventually subdue and tie up the king, the ministers, and the royal guards. While her crew mates are having a little argument, Nami says to herself that she was enjoying the peace, sightseeing, and shopping. She then asks a guard to tell her where is the treasury much to Usopp's annoyance. When Nami asks why with an innocent-looking face, Usopp becomes more annoyed. After Zoro says that they should leave Fishman Island, Nami informs the group that the log pose isn't working like it used to. The Minister of the Left states that the log pose won't work in the New World. The minister then offers to provide them information if they untie him.
The three princes of the Neptune House return to the palace only to find it under the control of the Straw Hats. Since the princes are unable to enter, Fukaboshi speaks with Zoro through Den Den Mushi. While Zoro is making demands, Nami asks for one billion beli annoying Usopp once again. Nami then listens to Fukaboshi as he reveals Jinbe's message. After hearing noises coming from Shirahoshi's room, Neptune begs the Straw Hats to check up on the princess to ensure her safety.
Brook instantly dashes off to her location while carrying the Minister of the Right. When they return, the minister informs Neptune of Shirahoshi's disappearance and Brook yells that pirates (pawns of Hody Jones) are invading the palace. Nami and Zoro act calm while Usopp panics.
After Zoro defeats the pirates, Neptune demands that Shirahoshi be returned to him. When Neptune suspects that she left with Luffy, Nami states that Luffy wouldn't kidnap anyone and tell the king to place his suspicions on someone else. During this conversation, one of the pirates manages to open the connection corridor. Nami and the others then encounter Hody Jones and Vander Decken IX. Decken then learns from Neptune that Shirahoshi is no longer in the palace and quickly goes after her. Nami notices that Hody Jones has an Arlong tattoo and goes off to an unknown location.
Nami escapes the palace with Keimi's help.
She is later seen wearing an air bubble around her head while clinging to Keimi's back. She asks Keimi a little about Jinbe as she remembers that he used to be in the same crew that Arlong was in before he founded the Arlong Pirates. Nami explains that she thinks she understands what Jinbe meant by his message "Don't fight Hody". She also thinks that the history with Arlong and Hody runs deep, and wants to ask Jinbe about it. She then asks Keimi to take her to the Sea Forest.
Nami and Keimi soon arrive at the Sea Forest and meet Luffy, Shirahoshi, Jinbe, Hatchan, Franky, Chopper, and Sanji. Nami informs everyone about Hody Jones' raid on the Ryugu Palace. Nami then listens to Jinbe as he reveals that he was the one responsible for allowing Arlong to run wild in the East Blue.
Nami and Jinbe discuss about Arlong.
When Sanji offers some tea, Nami brushes him off, saying that they're in the middle of a serious conversation. Before Jinbe explains his explanation, Nami reminisces her suffering under Arlong's tyranny. She states that while she has no intention of forgiving Arlong, she noticed something during her time on Sabaody Archipelago. Nami mentions that Sabaody Park resembles Arlong Park. After that, Nami listens to Jinbe as he explains the fishmen and merfolk's dark past as well as the back stories of Queen Otohime and Fisher Tiger.
Nami befriends Shirahoshi.
After Jinbe finishes his story, he states that he will take any punishment Nami desires. Nami shows no resentment to Jinbe since Arlong was the one to blame. She also says that she doesn't hate fishmen kind as a whole. Nami simply states she can trust him since he is a friend of Luffy. When Jinbe begins to cry, she takes pity on him knowing how hard it must have been for him.
She then has a friendly conversation with Shirahoshi. Nami comments that Otohime was a great mother and Shirahoshi is glad to hear it. Shirahoshi explains that she has a tendency to cry whenever she thinks about her mother and mentions that she feels strangely comfortable around Nami. Nami replies that it's because they have a similar past and understand each other. When Hatchan is about to reveal Hody's plan, a visual Den Den Mushi appears and the group watches Hody's speech to Fishman Island.
Nami reveals herself and that she stole the World Noble's letter.
When Hody shows the chained-up king, Nami remarks on how the other Straw Hats, mainly Zoro, caused the king to be captured. Jinbe expresses shock at the news, but Keimi explains that it was a big misunderstanding and that the Straw Hats were attacked first. Hody then addresses the Straw Hat Pirates and shows the imprisoned Zoro, Usopp, and Brook. Nami and co. show shock at the turn of events. When Luffy expresses joy after learning of his 400,000,000 bounty from Hody, Nami scolds Luffy. Nami then watches Luffy and Jinbe settling their dispute on how to deal with Hody. Jinbe eventually comes up with a plan. When Jinbe mentions that someone will have to steal the tenryubito letter away from Hody, Nami volunteers to do it, saying she is he best person for the job.
Battle for Fishman Island
She travels to Gyoncorde Plaza while invisible. She steals the World Nobles' letter from the New Fishman Pirates. After Luffy saves the king from certain death, Nami reveals herself. Nami then stands with the rest of the Straw Hats preparing to fight against the New Fishman Pirates. Nami gives the World Noble's letter to Shirahoshi. When Franky mentions a new weapon in the Soldier Dock, Nami gets in it along with Usopp, Chopper and Pappug, waiting for the door to open. She then rides out in the Brachio Tank V, riding in the cockpit with Usopp and Pappug, explaining that the cockpit expands when they pull a lever.
Nami battles a lone Fishman Pirate
The tank crashes into a pitfall knocking Nami around inside the cockpit, to which Franky pushes her and the others out. When the tank transforms into Iron Pirate "Franky Shogun" Chopper and Usopp were amazed while Nami just blankly stared at it, unimpressed. A lone Fishman Pirate tries to attack her from behind, thinking her weak. She blocks his sword swipes with her bo-staff, telling him not to underestimate the power of Weatheria's "Weather Science". She defeats him with her attack "Gust Sword". At a later point wadatsumi who was attacked by jinbei falls onto Nami. When the wind pressure gets intense sanji comes in and protects her by kicking him.
Nami uses "Black Ball: Thundercloud Rod"
Nami is then seen emitting several dark colored balls in a line from her Clima-Tact. The pirates wonder if she is a witch, to which she replies that they can call her Ms. Magician, but in reality her attack is carefully calculated chemistry. She then electricutes the pirates around her by swinging her staff, performing an attack called Black Ball: Thundercloud Rod. Ikaros Much gets enraged at Nami for using an attack that burns. Zeo turns invisible and grabs her ankles, holding her in place and Ikaros comes up to stab her with a spear. As Nami asks for help, Brook appears in between her and Ikaros and takes the hit from the spear. Luckily, the spear has no effect on him. After Franky punched away Ikaros, Brook steps on Zeo and reveals him, showing Nami why she couldn't move earlier.
After all the leaders of the New Fishman Pirates have been defeated, Nami and the other Straw Hats look up into the sky as Luffy tries to destroy Noah. When the Sea Kings stop Noah from falling, saving the ship and the island at the same time, everyone on Fishman Island celebrates.
