Chapter 995 and 997 best illustrate the difference between Luffy’s relationship with Nami and the other ship. Luffy and Nami’s relationship between each other is built on trust and respect, to such a level where Nami is getting tortured and won’t even consider lying and saying that Luffy won’t be the Pirate King in order to save her skin. It wasn’t even an option for her. Meanwhile, in the cover page of this chapter, we see that Nami is viewed by Sanji again as a sexual object, as she primarily is in his eyes. The difference is clear and in stark contrast. LuNa is viable, the other ship is not and never will be.
