Background / History

At eleven or twelve, Nami worked as a thief while pursuing a goal of collecting one hundred million Beli. She stole the Beast Pirate Crew's treasury and nearly escaped through superior navigation, but cannon fire forced her away from the route to Arlong Park. Xia Ye intervened during the pursuit, saving her from Olig and his crew. 13 14

Nami initially intended to use Xia Ye as a means to free Cocoyasi Village from Arlong. Her conflict stemmed from her obligation to the village, though she ultimately chose to ask Xia Ye directly to destroy the Arlong Empire. 18 21 24

Following Arlong's defeat, Nami and Nojiko visited Bellemere's grave. Nami then chose to leave Cocoyasi Village, leaping aboard Xia Ye's departing ship and declaring that she would follow him. 28

Appearance

Nami first appears as a small orange-haired girl with delicate features and an emergingly cunning expression. After consuming the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, her body rapidly matures into that of a young woman. 13 68

• Orange hair; later wears it long. 13 70
• Initially appears around eleven or twelve years old. 13 37
• Her Rumble-Rumble Fruit transformation physically matures her to an apparent age of at least twenty. 68
• Commonly carries her modified golden staff, the Golden Rattle. 70 91
• Later appears with her orange hair tied in a ponytail during the battle against Big Mom. 162

Personality

Nami is resourceful, daring, and highly pragmatic. As a child thief, she confidently targeted pirate crews and relied on her navigation to escape danger, though direct cannon fire and powerful opponents could overwhelm her. 13

Her early actions around Xia Ye were shaped by her desire to save Cocoyasi Village, causing her to consider betraying him despite his having rescued her. She feels guilt over this and eventually chooses to trust him openly against Arlong. 18 21 24

After gaining the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Nami becomes markedly more confident in battle. She is proud of her growing power, resents Boa Hancock for repeatedly petrifying her, and sets defeating Hancock herself as a personal goal. 70 75 77 She remains protective of Natsuya, intervening against Garp when she believes he is in danger. 100
