Story Role / Major Arcs

Meeting Ye Feng

While disguised as a male guest on a luxury ship, Nami meets Ye Feng shortly before pirates attack. Her fall into his arms exposes her identity to him. 27 The pirate captain Fierdo orders her execution after discovering her disguise, but Ye Feng intervenes and has her released. 28

Agreement and Escape

After Ye Feng takes control of Fierdo's crew, Nami agrees to become his girlfriend in exchange for hundreds of millions of Beli and declares him her debtor. 29 Ye Feng obtains 100 million Beli from Fierdo and gives it to her, promising the remainder later. 30 31

That night, Nami drugs Ye Feng and departs with the money for Cocoyasi Village. Before leaving, she apologizes, confesses that she loves him, and promises to return after handling her urgent obligation. 31

Cocoyasi Village and Arlong

Nami returns to Arlong Park with the 100 million Beli and demands that Arlong honor their agreement to return Cocoyasi Village. 33 Arlong considers killing her and the villagers, but Ye Feng's presence stops him; when Chu attacks Nami anyway, Ye Feng's sword slash incapacitates Chu before the strike can land. 33 34

Ye Feng also warns Arlong not to harm Nami again and orders him not to tell her about Ye Feng's involvement. 33 35 After Nami faints, Ye Feng transfers cultivation power and Lingering Wave Steps to her, and leaves instructions for her future. 35 Nami awakens determined to cultivate, then tells Nojiko that they are finally free from Arlong's threat. 35 36
