During this Arc, the viewers are almost led to believe that Nami is a trader who was just using Luffy and friends. It is revealed that she has been part of the Arlong Pirates crew this whole time. But why? What are Nami’s true intentions?







Nami is not willingly with Arlong because she is evil. She has no choice. Arlong is blackmailing Nami.
Arlong destroyed the neighboring village and threatens to destroy Nami’s village, Cocoyashi Village, if she does not scrounge up enough belli.
The Arlong Pirates have been ruling over the Conomi Islands since Nami was a little girl. Arlong personally killed Nami’s adoptive mother and actively threatens her village. Nami believes that by paying Arlong off, he will keep his word and leave the village alone.
