So real talk, can we talk Nami feels in this chapter? Because certainly this was an extremely agonizing chapter for Sanji and Luffy but I am sure the rest of you guys have already dissected that ad nauseum. I wanna take a moment here to look at Nami. Because to be honest, this is probably hitting her far closer to home than just having to do with Sanji’s dismissal and his and Luffy’s pain.

Let’s take it back to the East Blue Saga when something quite similar happened in Arlong Park. Remember Arlong Park? Where Nami was forced by her situation to deny the crew mates she had grown so close to to their faces? Dismiss them and send them off with lies of uncaring towards them calling them idiots to fall for her schemes, telling them that coming to save her was worthless because what they thought they came to save was an illusion that didn’t even exist?

Because I do. I remember that moment as clearly and distinctly as the first time I read it. And Nami, the one who experienced that time from the other side, from Sanji’s side, from the side of the person forced to speak such words, make such denials, because she didn’t see any other way to save those she cared for. Nami’s pain in this scene probably runs deeper than any save Sanji’s. Because not only is there the pain of hearing the words from Sanji, but also the knowledge of the pain that Sanji is going through from her own experiences. And now, she’s truly getting to witness what that moment was like for the Straw Hats. How much what she said and did must have hurt them then.

And that was before the Grand Line. Before Sabaody. Before the New World. The Straw Hats are so much closer now than they were then and this now is even worse. Even more hurtful to all of them. And let me just remind you that the Fishman Island Arc was only a few days ago. A couple weeks at the most. And it was there that all her past memories and pain from that time and her past was brought to the forefront.

And now here she is, now, having to confront it again in the form of one of her dearest friends. And the fact that someone she cares so much for has to go through that pain, hearing the same words she forced past her lips forced past Sanji’s just wrapped and recycled, there’s no person hurting more for Sanji in this moment than Nami. There’s no one who can relate to Sanji more in this situation, at this moment than Nami. There’s no one who can better understand the pain and desperation that Sanji is going through right now than Nami.
