Background / History

Carina first appears alongside Nami while fleeing a Devil Fruit user named Tolega, who is pursuing treasure Carina stole. Will intervenes against their pursuers, giving the two women an opportunity to escape. 4

After Will defeats Treasure, Carina initially tries to leave by promoting Nami as the more useful navigator. Will instead recruits both women, recognizing Carina's sharpness, intelligence-gathering ability, and potential value to his voyage. 8 9 Once aboard, she organizes intelligence documents from captured pirate ships and helps recover Buggy's Sea Chart and treasure. 10 15

Carina had previously researched the Arlong Pirates and later demonstrates knowledge of the slave trade connected to the Marines' captured “pirates.” Her information work remains a recurring role within the crew. 17 37

Will gives Carina a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit recovered from the Bridge-on-the-Nation. Although she and Nami each initially want the other to eat it for safety, Carina ultimately consumes the fruit and begins training its abilities under Will's supervision. 51 52 53

During the Grand Line journey, Carina uses her thieving skills to recover a Record Pointer and Eternal Pointer from Vivi and her Baroque Works partner. She later proposes escorting Vivi to Alabasta's capital while Will and Robin pursue Crocodile. 79 101

By the story's conclusion, Carina serves as the World Alliance's Minister of Intelligence. 314
