• Captive on/near the ark with Luffy; lends him her waver and extracts a promise that he’ll keep her alive on the climb (“…you’ll keep me alive!! …you’d better promise me”, pp. 16–17), then agrees to the desperate ark-boarding plan — riding the falling Giant Jack to leap onto the rising Ark Maxim. See Luffy, The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.

Skypiea — blown off the ark, escapes on the waver (Ch. 285)

• Blasted off the Ark Maxim, plummets (“I’M FALLING!”) and is landed/reunited near Sanji and Usopp (pages 2-3).
• Confirms on-page that Enel took all of the gold from the Shandora ruins (page 4) and that the survivors must flee Skypiea.
• Resolves to chase the Maxim down on the waver while the others take the Going Merry (page 12).

Skypiea — refuses to abandon Usopp, escapes the Maxim (Ch. 284)

• On the speeding waver, Nami turns back for the wounded Usopp rather than save herself — “This is not the time to save yourself!” (page 12) — a crew-loyalty beat.
• Escapes the Ark Maxim after Sanji launches her and Usopp clear; “Nami landed safely on the island cloud” with the waver (page 19).

Skypiea — captive aboard the Maxim; the golden-ball conductor gambit (Ch. 283)

• Held captive on Enel’s throne-deck; refuses to accept staying on the ark (“I don’t want to stay on this ship! It’s the truth! I don’t regret it!”, page 6); Enel warns “now you’ve lost your last hope of survival!”
• First on-page attempt to counter Enel’s lightning: Nami deploys her salvaged golden-ball “blue sea weapon” to create “a path for lightning to pass through” (pages 17-19) — Enel acknowledges it as “a good idea” but dismisses it as useless once he increases the scale of his attack. Nami: “there’s nowhere left to run!” The episode is the conductor-trick precursor to the chapter’s rubber-immunity inversion. See El Thor Enels Named Lightning Judgment Strike.
• Sanji and Usopp board the Maxim to rescue her (“LISTEN, USOPP! I… if it’s for Nami, I’m okay with you actually sacrificing your life”, page 8).

Skypiea — captive aboard the Maxim (Ch. 282)

• Held captive on the Ark Maxim as Enel’s forced navigator as the ship ships out (pp. 16-19). Watches Luffy thrown off and El Thor’d, crying out “Luffy!!” (pp. 12-15).
• Target of Enel’s “desire” monologue; she breaks — “I don’t want any of it anymore!!” — when he tells her to “be happy you survived, and forget those who are no longer with us” (pp. 17-19). Enel: “Including your life?” (p. 19).

Skypiea — captive aboard the Maxim (Ch. 281)

• Still held captive on the Ark Maxim; reacts to Enel’s “Deathpiea” reveal (“What are you planning?”, p. 4). See Maxim.
• Narrates and names Luffy’s anti-Mantra tactics — the mind-blank (“Luffy, what are you doing?!”, p. 13) and the wall-rebound (“Attacks bouncing off the wall aren’t under Luffy’s control!! … It’s flying hits!”, pp. 16–17). See Mantra, Mantra Composure Dependence The Precognition Can Be Jammed.

Skypiea — Luffy vs Enel (Ch. 280)

• Watches the duel from beside the ruins; cries warnings (“Luffy, behind you!!”, p. 11) and narrates the Maxim’s lift-off (“Look… it’s floating”, p. 16).
• Begs Luffy to flee the rising ark; he refuses (p. 16-17).
• (RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 280.)

Skypiea — Luffy vs Enel (Ch. 279)

• Captive aboard Maxim, watches the Luffy-Enel fight (“Luffy!! Be careful…”, p. 6).
• First to articulate the lightning-immunity mechanic: “…that lightning doesn’t work on him?! Could it be… because he’s made of rubber!” (p. 15) and “Lightning power… is completely useless!” (p. 18). Functions as the in-fight explainer for the payoff. See Enel Lightning-Logia Invincibility God-Doctrine And Reject-Dial Wall, Goro Goro no Mi.
• Decorative chapter-title splash star (page 1, milking cows on a Blue-Sea farmstead).
• (RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 279.)

Skypiea (Ch. 278)

• Held captive aboard the Ark Maxim with Enel; recognizes Conis below (“Conis! It can’t be… she should be on our ship!”, p. 2) and shivers at Enel’s gloating over Skypiea’s destruction (p. 3).
• Present on the Maxim’s deck when Luffy arrives (“FWUP! Oh!!”, p. 17) — Nami and Luffy reunite/meet just before the Luffy–Enel confrontation.
• (RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 278.)

Skypiea — captive aboard the Maxim (Ch. 277)

• Held captive by Enel aboard the Ark Maxim; negotiates to keep her waver/sky-board (“This is my favorite, and I…”), but Enel warns “You won’t need it where we’re going” (p. 3).
• Reacts to the flying-ship reveal: “Is this for real? A flying ship?! …If it really can fly in the sky, I won’t be able to escape!!!” (p. 5).
• Confirmed alive and on the island — Aisa senses her “voice” moving alongside Enel’s (p. 19). Nico Robin: “the navigator was taken” (p. 17).
• (RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 277.)

Skypiea — last one standing before Enel (Ch. 276)

• After Enel downs Zoro and Sanji, Nami is the only Straw Hat still standing on Upper Yard (pages 10-11, 15).
• Fakes accepting Enel’s offer to flee with him (“I’ll… go with you!! / Okay?”) to buy escape; Enel’s Mantra sees her heart is unshaken by fear and he dismisses the ruse (pages 16-17). Character beat: Nami’s fearlessness before a “god.” See Mantra, Mantra Is The In-World Observation-Haki Precursor.
• (RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 276.)

Skypiea — into the ruins; sees Luffy inside the serpent (Ch. 273)

• Survives the cloud-floor collapse on the Waver, kicking the engine to escape; lands in the underground ruins among Enel’s five survivors (pages 2–8).
• Realizes Luffy is somehow inside the rampaging serpent and that Enel hasn’t noticed her (“good thing he hasn’t seen me,” page 17) — the detail that breaks Enel’s “exactly five” prophecy. See Skypiea Survival Game and Heavens Punishment.
• (RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 273.)

Skypiea — swallowed by the giant serpent (Ch. 270)

• Swallowed alive — with Aisa, Wyper and the waver — into the giant serpent’s stomach; survives and worries the waver may be broken before they “get digested” (pp. 17–19). Reunites with Luffy when he crashes into the same gut (p. 19).

Skypiea — converging at the top-tier ruins (Ch. 269)

• Arrives at the top-tier ruins amid the converging chaos; reunites near Zoro and Aisa (“Hey, Zolo!!”, “Where is everyone?!”) as the Zoro-vs-Ohm front opens (pp. 16-18).
• (RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 269.)

Skypiea — inside the giant serpent (Ch. 267)

• Drags Aisa and a recovering Luffy through the giant serpent’s interior (which the crew took for a cave), guiding the group toward the woods to escape (pages 2–7).
• (RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 267.)

Skypiea — Jet-Dial waver flight (Ch. 265)

• Master-flies her waver on a salvaged Jet Dial (“Nami, you’re amazing!! / It’s a level faster!”), then returns it; reassures the group the crew is safe (pp. 2-3). Conis notes the Jet Dial is centuries-extinct. See Dials Skypiean Sea-Shell Technology, Waver Sky Jet-Ski.

Skypiea — Upper Yard, vs. Hotori & Kotori (Ch. 263) — first solo officer-tier sky-island win; gauntlet Impact-Dial weapon acquired

• With the “Weird Knight” (Gan Fall), fights Satori’s twin priest brothers Hotori and Kotori (Enel’s Heavenly Warrior subcommanders) and their four-dial arsenal (Scent / Impact / Axe / Flame).
• Drops Hotori with Cyclone Tempo (pp. 14-15); fogs the field with Fog Tempo and chills the air with a Cool Ball to neutralize Kotori’s Flame Dial, then finishes Kotori with Gan Fall’s gauntlet Impact (pp. 17-18).
• Acquires Gan Fall’s heavy iron gauntlet — an Impact Dial forged from “iron from the Blue Sea” — adding a melee/impact weapon to her Clima-Tact kit (pp. 15-16).
• Title page of the chapter (“Pirate Nami and the Weird Knight…”); protects the Going Merry and crew.

Skypiea (Ch. 261) — chooses to fight alongside Gan Fall

• On the Going Merry, cornered by the triplet sub-commanders Hotori & Kotori (brothers of Satori) alongside the wounded Gan Fall and Pierre (pp. 15-18).
• When Gan Fall insists “Stay back, young lady!! …I must get rid of them quickly and go after Eneru!”, Nami readies her Clima-Tact and declares she’ll “do the protecting too!!” (p. 17) — a small agency beat.

Skypiea (Ch. 259)

• Present at the Going Merry helping revive the wounded Sanji when Enel boards (pp. 18-19).

Skypiea — dial/Mantra tutorial (Ch. 257)

• Present aboard the Merry for Gan Fall’s dial/Mantra tutorial (no combat). (Reader inference: her later Clima-Tact dial loadout traces to this lesson.) See Dials Skypiean Sea-Shell Technology.

Skypiea (Ch. 254)

• Assigned to the Escape Team (she “wants the gold but isn’t willing to face danger,” page 18); will take the Merry around the island. Greedy-but-cautious characterization beat.

Skypiea — Varse (Ch. 253)

• Chairs the “official Straw Hats ‘What are we going to do tomorrow?’ meeting” (p7) and drives the chapter’s central deduction: rescaling an old map of Jaya against the Skypiea map to show the sky island is the missing half of Jaya, with the gold at the skull’s right eye (p8-11). Proposes splitting the crew into two teams and heading straight for the treasure point (p11). See The Noland Legend and the City of Gold, The City Of Gold Is Shandora In Skypiea And Its Gold Is The Giant Bell.
• Treasure-greed beat: “A vast treasure trove of gold awaits us at this location!!!! Make no mistake!!” with KA-CHING eyes (p11).

Skypiea — “El Dorado” and the guerrilla ambush (Ch. 252)

• Celebrates a salvaged Survival-Game treasure she dubs “El Dorado,” theatrically thanking “Kami” (p. 2).
• Her party (with Nico Robin, Tony Tony Chopper, Conis) is ambushed by Wyper’s masked Shandian guerrillas (pp. 5-9); they flee. See Shandian Guerrillas Are Enemies Of Enel Not His Agents.
• SBS (p. 20): Nami’s bracelet was given by her sister Nojiko at their parting (vol. 17); her shoulder tattoos depict her foster parents — tangerines for Bell-mère, a pinwheel for Genzo.

Skypiea (Ch. 251) — the geographic bombshell: Upper Yard is the risen missing half of Jaya

• Takes the “leader” role for the Upper Yard seaside party; insists on verifying up close what she glimpsed (pp. 7, 15).
• Delivers the arc’s geographic bombshell: Upper Yard is real ground, “a fragment of what we saw on the ground,” not cloud — and is the missing landmass of Jaya that “was floating in the sky!!!!” rather than sinking 400 years ago (pp. 14-20). Structural payoff of the rise/sink inversion behind the City-of-Gold mystery. Cross-link Sky Island Existence, The Noland Legend and the City of Gold, City of Gold, Upper Yard Is The Risen Missing Half Of Jaya.

Skypiea (Ch. 249)

• In Upper Yard’s forest, scouts from a high vantage with binoculars while Zoro and Sanji wait below (pages 12–13). She sees what the island truly is and recoils in shock — “GULP… THIS ISLAND… NO WAY!!” (page 13) — a withheld reveal (the reader is not shown what she saw). Remarks earlier that “nature and civilization are totally out of whack” here and that whoever built the structures “couldn’t have known that a tree would grow like this” (page 12).

Skypiea (Ch. 248)

• Among the captured “sacrificial lambs” at the Sacrificial Altar when Shura attacks; not a focal actor this chapter.

Skypiea — Upper Yard (Ch. 247)

• Directs Luffy and Usopp toward the drifting ship (pp. 6-7); warns Luffy off the “bottomless” river (p. 13). See Upper Yard Bottomless River Holy-Land Depth-Tell.
• Brokers the truce between Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji and assigns the Sky Knight’s whistle to be hung on the mast so anyone in trouble can summon help (pp. 18-19). See Sky Knight Emergency Whistle Chekhov Summons-Device.

Skypiea (Ch. 242)

• Returns from the forest manhunt on the restored waver and reunites with the crew mid-confrontation (“Luffy!! Nami, you’re safe!”, page 8). Her possession of the waver triggers the Class-9 stolen-property charge. See Skypiea Criminal-Offense Statute and Exile to the Clouds.
• Crew-finance beat: when the dust settles the crew has only 50,000 berries in petty cash (“Most of it went to feed you!!”, page 16) — reinforcing the broke-crew running gag that drives their refusal to pay the fine. See Extol Currency and the Skypiea Exchange Rate.

Skypiea (Ch. 241)

• Tests the (being-repaired) Waver out in the Upper Yard forest and stumbles into a manhunt — a fleeing “guerrilla” being chased by Enel’s hunters across the clouds (pages 5–14).
• The guerrilla begs to be taken aboard; she refuses because the one-man Waver can’t carry two, then witnesses “Heaven’s Judgment” strikes flatten the forest (pages 11–14). See Heaven’s Judgment.
• Overhears the hunters: the crew are “illegal trespassers,” a per-person entry fee of one billion extols is owed, and the hunters collect heads for bounty (“seven heads… four people”). Races back to warn the others (pages 13–17). See Skypiea Entry Fee and Criminal System.

Skypiea (Ch. 239)

• Revels at reaching a hidden island: “The Navy will never find us here! We can really relax at last!!” (p. 10).
• Robin flags that Luffy “salvaged something like that” waver — seeding Nami as the eventual waver rider (p. 16). See Waver Sky Jet-Ski.

Jaya / Sky Island launch (Ch. 236)

• Navigates the Going Merry through the Knock-Up Stream and into open air — works out (with Nico Robin) that since they’re only fighting sea + wind, she can navigate it; tilts the ship to starboard to catch the current and level off, letting the Merry fly (pages 17–18). Crew cheers “Nami, you’re amazing!!” — a defining proof of her navigator role (page 18).

Jaya (Ch. 227)

• Finds the “Noland the Liar” storybook in Mont Blanc Cricket’s house and reads the legend aloud (pp. 7-10); raised in the East, she had not heard the tale (Sanji, North-raised, knows it). Cross-link The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.

Jaya — Mock Town (Ch. 225)

• Bellamy offers to buy her (“Why not let me buy you?”); she refuses flatly — “Sorry, I’m not interested…in joining a gang of third-rate bullies!” (pp. 7–8) — and snaps at the implication, defending Luffy and Zoro.
• Initially furious that the crew won’t fight back (“What are you doing?! Clobber them!! Kick their butts!!”, p. 2), then accepts Luffy’s reasoning. Later realizes “your friends won’t that fight” — the beating was a chosen restraint, not a defeat.

Jaya / Mock Town (Ch. 224)

• Initially the voice of restraint (“we haven’t learned what we need to know yet!”, p. 9), but breaks at the chapter’s end and tells Luffy and Zoro to forget the promise: “Forget your promise! Clobber that guy!! …Fight them!!” (pp. 19-20).

Jaya (Ch. 221)

• Navigator beat: blames herself for the crew being dragged toward “the bottom of the ocean of the Grand Line” and breaks down sobbing “I’m sorry!!” (pp. 6-7).
• Recaps the day’s impossibilities, anchoring the skyward-Log-Pose tell (p. 17). Cross-link Sky Island Existence.

Jaya (Ch. 219)

• Navigator skepticism: “There are a lot of fake maps in the world… don’t get too excited, we don’t know anything for sure” re: the Skypiea map (p. 10) — first to flag the map may be fake.
• Confirms the Log Pose can’t be broken and that she’s never seen a sky island, leaving “how we get up to the sky” as the open problem (pp. 3–4, 11).
• Stays aboard the Going Merry with Robin, Usopp, and Chopper while Luffy/Sanji/Zoro dive (pp. 11–14).

Alabasta — Sandora desert / Going Merry strategy (Ch. 214) — Billion-berry gag; sets the X-mark farewell terms

• Re-invokes the billion-berry mercenary-quote (p. 8) — masks her grief over leaving Vivi by snapping the crew to attention with “the one billion berries Igaram promised.” (“DA-GOM!!”). Continues the Nami Billion Berry Reward Mercenary Doctrine running gag.
• Voices the X-mark farewell terms to Vivi (p. 14): “That will be your one and only chance!! If you’re there, we’ll welcome you as a fellow pirate!!”, and insists “She has to decide for herself!” against Luffy’s “Come on, Vivi!!” — Nami as the crew’s clear-eyed broker of the choice. Cross-link Nami Billion Berry Reward Mercenary Doctrine (Ch. 214 evidence add), Straw Hat Crew X-Mark Left-Arm Fellowship Sign.

Alabasta — wind-down (Ch. 213)

• Browses the royal library, dazzled by its books.
• In the great baths, sells Vivi the world’s wonders (“the world is a big place… lots of other unimagined wonders just waiting to be discovered!!”) and quietly delivers the leave-decision: the crew is thinking of leaving tonight because the Navy is gathering near the port (pp. 20, 23).
• “Happiness Punch” gag — flashes the boys spying on the women’s bath, “100,000 berries each” (p. 20). First on-page use of the named bit.

Alabasta — Alubarna square (Ch. 206) — Ignition — Cyclone Tempo human-launch tactic; wordless rescue plan

• LOAD-BEARING — first on-page Climate-Baton-as-transport-tool use (Ch. 206 pp. 10-15). With ~15 seconds to ignition, Nami formulates a wordless plan (I’m trying to think!! Now shut up and stand still!!) and deploys her Cyclone Tempo (the cyclone tempo is meant for parties… it’s just for fun) to launch Chopper (carrying Vivi) up the clock tower toward Zoro. First on-page weaponization of the Tempo weather-burst as a battlefield human-catapult — extends the Ch. 0190-0191 Tempo attack-family from combat to utility/transport. See Nami Cyclone Tempo Human-Launch Catapult Tactic (new — load-bearing).
• Tactical-commander register (Ch. 206 p. 19) — Chopper!! I’m gonna launch you at them!! I’ll change the direction, but the rest will be up to you!! / seven seconds left!! — Nami coordinates the multi-Strawhat relay (Nami → Chopper → Sanji → Zoro → cannon) under the ignition-clock.
• Cross-link Tony Tony Chopper (launched payload), Sanji (relay), Zoro (catcher), Vivi (rescued).

Alabasta — Alubarna (Ch. 205) — deduces the cannon is in the clock tower

• LOAD-BEARING — solves the bomber’s location (Ch. 205 pp. 4-6): reasons that the cannon must be somewhere invisible from the sky yet still able to aim at the square — “A big place that isn’t visible from the sky… so it has to be a place they can still take aim from…” — and pinpoints the clock tower. First on-page Nami-as-tactical-deduction-lead in the Alabasta climax. Cross-link Alubarna, Tony Tony Chopper, Usopp.
• Has “an idea” at the access-constraint impasse (Ch. 205 p. 18).

Alabasta — bomb-hunt at Alubarna (Ch. 202) — directs the search for Crocodile’s hidden cannon

• Directs the bomb-search and reasons out the cannon’s likely placement (Ch. 202 pp. 9-11). Nami pushes Chopper to sniff out the explosive (“Can’t you sniff it out with your nose?!”) and reasons about where a cannon firing in an arc into the square’s center would have to sit (“A projectile from a cannon flies in an arc, which would lessen the distance… It’s gotta be closer to the square!”). First on-page Nami-as-ballistics-reasoner beat. Cross-link Tony Tony Chopper, Usopp.
• NOTE (continuity): last_appearance is deliberately left at Ch. 193 per the synthesis instruction — the 0202 streets/square bomb-hunt is treated as earlier in the arc’s internal timeline than the 0193 Doublefinger-defeat finale; this row is filed for completeness without regressing/advancing the frontmatter scalar.

Alabasta — Alubarna square (Ch. 199) — crew reconvergence; wields the Clima-Tact prototype staff

• Present at the square reunion holding a staff weapon (Clima-Tact prototype) (Ch. 199 p. 8): “I asked you to make me a weapon, not a party favor!!” / “I thought you couldn’t stand up!” — banter with the injured Usopp who built it. Comic-injured-but-fine beat (“She’s fine! Why’s Nami injured!”).

Alabasta — Alubarna (Ch. 193) — Utopia — first officer-fight win; Tornado Tempo lands

• First Strawhat-side officer-fight win of the Alubarna set (pp. 2-9): after the Ch. 0190 pigeons/flowers misfires, Nami fires “Take that!! …Tempo!! …Tornado!!” — a real tornado defeats Ms. Doublefinger (KRASH!! into the Medi Assembly Hall; caption WINNER: NAMI).
• Takes a Sea-Urchin-Stinger spike-wound to the left foot (pp. 3-4) but waits out the one-shot Tornado Tempo (“a weapon of last resort. You only have one shot! If you miss, it’s all over.”).
• First successful weather-attack from the Clima-Tact prototype — pays off the Ch. 0190 failure-mode and pre-loads the Clima-Tact mastery-arc.
• NOTE: the Ch. 0192 reader notes (below) already record this Doublefinger fight resolving via Thunderbolt Tempo; the Ch. 0193 reader notes record it resolving via Tornado Tempo with the WINNER: NAMI caption. Both batches are preserved verbatim; the finishing-move discrepancy is a reader-pass inconsistency to reconcile against the raw pages.

Alabasta — Alubarna (Ch. 192) — Tornado Warning — LOAD-BEARING: Climate Baton’s first successful weather-attacks; defeats Ms. Doublefinger with Thunderbolt Tempo

• LOAD-BEARING — first successful Climate-Baton weather-attacks (Ch. 192 pp. 11-18). After the Ch. 0190 pigeons-and-flowers failure-mode, Nami works out the baton’s weather-physics on the fly and produces Rain Tempo (sprinkler-mist, p. 11), Cool Ball / Heat Ball (cold/hot air-bubble payloads), a charged Cloud, and finally Thunderbolt Tempo!! (p. 18, ZZZT BZZ) — a true lightning bolt that downs Doublefinger. The prototype is now operationally a real weapon. Pays off Climate Baton Usopp Invention For Nami Pre-Clima-Tact Debut at the works-as-intended tier; pre-loads the forward-canon Clima-Tact upgrade-arc.
• First on-page Nami-as-weather-scientist combat-register (Ch. 192 pp. 13-14). “When moist hot air rises… and then the moisture in it condenses… and is rapidly cooled by descending cold air…” — wins by understanding atmospheric physics, not raw power. Structural establishment of her crew-role as knowledge-based weather-manipulator.
• Wins her first one-on-one fight against an Officer-Agent (Ch. 192 p. 18) — Nami’s first solo victory over a Baroque-Works Officer-Agent (Ms. Doublefinger), under a hurt leg (“My leg!! It’s hurt bad!!”). Closes with the chapter-title weather-forecast capstone: “Watch out for… tornadoes.” (p. 19).

• LOAD-BEARING — discovers the Climate Baton’s combat mode is on the reverse side of Usopp’s manual (Ch. 191 pp. 9-13). Cornered by Doublefinger’s spike-barrage, Nami re-reads the manual mid-flight (‘What was it? Earlier… I thought I saw something in the manual!’) and finds the note ‘Combat mode instructions can be found on the reverse side.’ — the pigeons-and-flowers failure of Ch. 0190 was the party-tricks front. She flips it (‘GRAAH!! That idiot!!’). This is the operational resolution of the Ch. 0190 according to the instructions, this is a rifle / no, I have to trust him failure-mode.

• LOAD-BEARING — masters the three batons’ weather-physics: Heat Ball / Cool Ball / Thunder Ball (Ch. 191 pp. 13-17). Per the reverse-side manual (‘Rule one of baton basics for combat: know the special qualities of each of the three batons.’): first baton = hot air (Heat Ball!!, ‘It feels a bit warm.’); second baton = cold air (Cool Ball!!, ‘Nice and cool.’); third baton = electricity (Thunder Ball!!, ‘I felt a little shock.’). Shaking/blowing releases air bubbles. ‘Who cares about parties!!’ — Nami rejects the party-trick framing. First on-page mechanical mastery of the proto-Clima-Tact physics. Cross-link Climate Baton Usopp Invention For Nami Pre-Clima-Tact Debut (Ch. 0191 weather-physics canon).
• LOAD-BEARING — Tempo attack-family debut: Thunder Tempo / Cyclone Tempo / Tornado Tempo / Mirage Tempo (Ch. 191 pp. 4, 15-19). Thunder Tempo!! (electric ball, p. 4); Cyclone Tempo!! (Heat+Cool bubbles collide → bigger bubble → explosive boomerang-wind, BOOOING!!, pp. 15-17); Tornado Tempo (one-shot last-resort knockout, p. 17); Mirage Tempo (Cool-Ball density-change refracts light into a self-decoy, pp. 18-19).

• LOAD-BEARING — Mirage Tempo deception fools Doublefinger; corners/defeats her (Ch. 191 pp. 18-20). Nami: ‘I used the Cool Ball to change the density of the atmosphere. Drastic differences in temperature cause light to refract in unusual ways.’ Doublefinger spikes the after-image (‘A mirage?! At such a short distance?!’); Nami steps out behind her: ‘Fooled you. ♥’ Then: ‘I finally understand the Climate Baton!! …I think this weapon suits me perfectly. Now surrender!!’ First on-page Nami-as-victorious-solo-combatant vs. an Officer-Agent — the navigator-to-active-combatant character-role-pivot completes here.

• Thief’s-wit self-articulation (Ch. 191 pp. 11-12): ‘I’ve been a thief for eight years. I’ve always survived by my own wits. In any life-or-death situation… Don’t mistake me for a helpless little girl!!’ — Nami reframes herself from helpless-target to operational-survivor; continues the eight-years-of-survival register (cf. the Arlong-coercion timeline).

• LOAD-BEARING — I won’t let Baroque Works have their way in this country anymore!!! / I just have to do it!! anti-BW-in-Alabasta doctrine (Ch. 190 p. 13). Nami alone in Alubarna alley, brandishing the Climate Baton: ‘That’s right! What am I doing, running around and hiding? I said I was going to fight this time!’ / ‘I hope she’s all right… and the others, too.’ / ‘I guess Vivi wasn’t able to stop the rebels at the city gates.’ / ‘I won’t let Baroque Works have their way in this country anymore!!!’ / ‘She’s only one woman! I can take her!!’ / ‘I just have to do it!!’ First on-page Nami-as-active-arc-combatant self-articulation. The Ch. 0168 Climate-Baton character-role-pivot now operationally activates — Nami transitions from passive-navigator to active-combatant on her own initiative. The I just have to do it register is the Nami-equivalent of Luffy’s I’m gonna be King of the Pirates declarative. Cross-link Nami I’ll Fight This Time Anti-Baroque-Works-In-This-Country-Anymore Doctrine (new).
• LOAD-BEARING — Climate Baton deployed in combat for the first time; weapon mis-fires (pigeons, flowers) (Ch. 190 pp. 17-19). Nami (assembling the baton, CHAK CHAK CHAK): ‘Usopp, I’m counting on you!!’ / ‘The Climate Baton!! Get a taste of my new weapon!!’ / ‘Once in position, this miraculous baton can cause extraordinary changes in the weather!! It can summon the clouds! It can make rain!! It can stir up the wind!!’ / ‘I’ll start with “Sunny”!!’ → TA-DAH!! pigeons + confetti. Doublefinger: ‘OOH!!’ Nami: ‘What a surprise! Pigeons!!’ (sheepish). Then ‘Cloudy Tempo!!’ (‘According to the instructions, this is a rifle. …No! I have to trust him!’) → POOF! flowers. Doublefinger: ‘What pretty flowers!’ (HEE HEE HEE…). Nami panicked: ‘Is this a magic show?! How can I win with this thing?!’ First on-page Clima-Tact-prototype combat-deployment failure-mode. The Ch. 0168 Climate Baton mechanically works (CHAK, POOF, KA-CHAK) but produces magic-trick gag-payloads.

Especially now… for Vivi’s sake!!’ / ‘I need something so that I can take on the enemy myself!! You understand, right, Usopp?’ / ‘There’s no task too difficult for Usopp?’ Usopp accepts. Nami: ‘I’m counting on you!’ First on-page Nami-asks-Usopp-for-weapon backstory dialogue beat. The Ch. 0168 Climate Baton’s prior-art is now flashback-canonized — Nami’s request preceded the Alabasta arrival.
• Threatened by Mr. 1’s stone-column-slice; protected by Zoro’s mid-swing interception (Ch. 190 pp. 2-6). Nami flees Mr. 1; he severs the stone column behind her; Zoro arrives just in time. Nami: ‘Zolo!!’ First on-page Mr. 1 directly threatens Nami (the Ch. 0180 prime-target acknowledgment extends to actual combat).
• Combat-target of Ms. Doublefinger (Toge Toge no Mi) (Ch. 190 pp. 14-19). After Doublefinger spike-strikes pierce the stone tiles around her (SHUNK!!), Nami: ‘Was that some sort of spear, or is this one of those powers?’ Resolves to fight (‘I’ll fight you!! And I might even win!!’) but the weapon mis-fires. Combat continues into Ch. 0191.

Alabasta — Supersonic Duck Quiz (Ch. 181) — Vivi-decoy-cape participant; TOO BAD. reveal-line in the colonnade (winking)

• Vivi-decoy-cape participant in the colonnade reveal (p. 16). Nami (winking, tongue-out, opening cape, DOOM!!): “TOO BAD.” — third in the TOO BAD. reveal-sequence. The decoy-trick succeeds; Bon Clay is duped.
• Pre-loads forward-canon Nami-vs-Doublefinger pair-battle (the Mr. 1 + Doublefinger combat-pair has departed in pursuit of the west-bound decoys; Nami is the natural pair-match for Doublefinger).
• Cross-link Bon Clay (decoy-trick target), Ms. Doublefinger.

• Cross-link Sanji / Tony Tony Chopper / Vivi (disguise-cluster), Rainbase (market panic-zone).

Alabasta — Rainbase-to-Alubarna escort (Ch. 177) — in the Strawhat-escort dust-cloud running to Alubarna

• In the Strawhat-escort dust-cloud running from Rainbase to Alubarna (Ch. 177 pp. 2-5). Nami is implied present but does not get a named-dialogue beat in this chapter.
• SBS Vol. 20 reference (Ch. 177 p. 20) — Oda canonizes that Nami doesn’t give the crew a clothes allowance, explaining why everyone except her wears the same outfit. First on-page SBS-canonization of Nami as crew-finance-manager via the clothes-budget axis.
• Cross-link Vivi (escort-target), Alubarna (destination).

Alabasta — Rain Dinners escape (Ch. 176) — Wet-Devil-Fruit-weakness quip; Nanohana-perfume reunion-beacon; stables-vs-Crab-Mover protocol

• LOAD-BEARING — applies Nanohana-perfume as Sanji-trackable reunion-beacon (Ch. 176 pp. 9, 15). Vivi: “Nami, do you still have that perfume you bought in Nanohana?” / “Yes. Why?” / “Put it on!!” — Nami sprays the perfume immediately. Sanji (rapture-register): “Ahh… it’s like falling in love and going to heaven.”; 5 pages later, Sanji (sniffing): “The smell of Nami’s perfume is getting stronger.” — the perfume is the operational locator-asset of the reunion-mechanic. The Nanohana market-purchase from Ch. 0157 cashes into a load-bearing reunion-mechanic — Chekhov’s-perfume. Cross-link Nami Nanohana Perfume Pre-Acquisition Cosmetic-Prop Reveal (new).

• Stables-vs-Crab-Mover Rainbase-tactics voice (Ch. 176 p. 15). Usopp: “Aren’t there stables in Rainbase?! Let’s grab some horses!!”; Nami: “Relax. Look up ahead!!”. Nami is the tactical-routing voice that catches the Eyelashes-summons-a-Crab-Mover sequence.

• In Sea-Stone cage (Ch. 175 pp. 8-11). Lure-tactic articulator: “I’m gonna make them so mad that they chomp open this cage!!” / “COME AND GET US, YOU STUPID BANANAS!!! HEY, YOU STUPID GATORS!!! COME AND GET US!!!” — first on-page Nami-as-tactical-lure-asset beat. The plan to use the Bananagators as cage-breakers fails (the Sea-Stone bars hold) but the lure-tactic itself is sound and is the operational reason the Bananagators are reachable at the cage-bars in the back half of the chapter (Sanji-throws-Bananagator combat-grammar in pp. 12-17).
• Nami, do you love me now? / What an idiot (Ch. 175 p. 16). Standard Sanji-flirt deflection-register; sustains the Ch. 0046+ love-cook-flirt-vs-deadpan-cold dynamic.

Alabasta — Rainbase (Ch. 168) — receives the Climate Baton; first prototype weapon for the crew’s navigator

• Receives the Climate Baton from Usopp (pp. 3-4) — Usopp: “Just what you asked for!!” — confirming Nami requested the weapon off-page. First on-page Nami-asks-Usopp-for-a-weapon beat — pre-Clima-Tact prototype. Sanji’s don’t give Nami that dangerous weapon protest is comic-deflection; the weapon ends up in her hands.
• Chase-cluster movement through Rainbase (pp. 9-11, 17-18) — runs with the crew through the plaza-streets; reacts to Rain Dinners (“Look!! It’s the entrance to Rain Dinners!! It’s in the middle of a lake!!”); reaches the casino entrance with Luffy/Sanji/Usopp/Vivi.

Alabasta arc (Ch. 166) — furious at Luffy’s boring; restrained by Zoro mid-fight

• Furious at Luffy’s boring refusal (Ch. 166 p. 14) — “Boring!!? Why, you!!!” — Nami as Vivi’s-ally-against-the-captain register continues from Ch. 0150.
• Restrained by Zoro mid-fight (Ch. 166 p. 16) — “Nami, wait…” Zoro intercepts Nami before she can intervene in the Vivi-Luffy fight. First on-page Zoro-restrains-Nami beat — Zoro as the let-the-captain-fight sub-conscience.

Alabasta (Ch. 162) — Adventure in the Kingdom of Sand — heat-suffering; water-fight referee; rides Eyelashes; observes so hot by day, so cold at night

• Heat-suffering register (Ch. 162 pp. 2-5) — wraps fully in desert-cloak; deferent to Vivi’s desert-knowledge.
• Water-fight referee (Ch. 162 p. 4) — ‘Stop fighting!! You’re wasting energy!!’ — pragmatic-resource-conservator continues.
• Rides Eyelashes (Ch. 162 pp. 15-19) — the only-rides-women camel carries Vivi and Nami; Nami leans into the gender-discrimination gag.
• Canonizes the desert temperature-inversion (Ch. 162 p. 19) — ‘It’s so hot here by day and so cold at night.’
• Cross-link Eyelashes (rides), Desert Day-Night Temperature-Inversion Doctrine (new).

Alabasta (Ch. 161) — The Green City Erumalu — Erumalu walk-through, recovered from Drum-arc fever; Nami-as-Vivi’s-emotional-anchor

• Present throughout the Erumalu walk-through (Ch. 161 pp. 5-19). Fully recovered from the Drum-arc fever; sand-scarfed and active. Comments on Chopper’s loyalty (p. 8 — “If it weren’t for Chopper, we would’ve been in big trouble!”). Hand-on-Vivi emotional-support beat (p. 18) during Vivi’s tearful curse-out — first on-page Nami-as-Vivi’s-emotional-anchor moment.

Alabasta (Ch. 160) — sews Ace’s paper into Luffy’s straw-hat band; first on-page Nami-as-hat-custodian beat; desert-wardrobe debut

• LOAD-BEARING — Sews Ace’s paper into Luffy’s straw-hat band (Ch. 160 p. 3). Luffy hands her the paper Ace gave him; Nami (puzzled at first — “What did your brother give you? Just a piece of paper. There’s nothing written on it either. I don’t get it.”) accepts the task: “Okay, it’s in the band. So sew it in real tight!!” First on-page Nami-as-Luffy’s-hat-custodian beat. Canonizes the Vivre Card’s permanent storage-location. Cross-link Ace (Ch. 0160 sewn-in-band evidence add), Ace Vivre Card Given To Luffy Hang On To It Always (Ch. 0160 permanent-storage evidence add).
• Recovered from Drum-arc illness (Ch. 160 pp. 3-6) — fully on-deck, briefing-style register, normal volume; the convalescence is over. Desert-wardrobe debut (bare-shoulders top with belt).
• Witnesses Vivi’s regional-map briefing (Ch. 160 p. 5).

Alabasta voyage / Nanohana (Ch. 157) — X-mark / left-arm fellowship-sign joining-beat; canonizes the Alabastan climate zone + fauna-as-waypoint-indicator doctrine; counts the Billions fleet; Alabasta-cleavage-bare wardrobe debut

• Joins the X-mark / left-arm fellowship-sign (pp. 10-11). First crew-tier inclusion in the Strawhat solidarity-emblem composition.
• Canonizes the Alabastan climate zone (p. 5) — “We’ve entered the Alabastan climate zone. The weather seems to be stabilizing. The appearance of the sea cat proves it.” — Nami extends the Ch. 132 four-season-island-climate doctrine into a fauna-as-climate-zone-waypoint navigation doctrine. Pre-loads the recurring local-fauna-confirms-arrival Grand-Line navigation register.
• Counts the Billions fleet (pp. 6-7) — “There must be at least 200 men out there.” / “They’re the officer agents’ underlings… Those must be the Billions.” — Nami as the on-page namer of the Billions tier (jointly with Vivi). Strategist-tier intel-articulator.
• Alabasta-cleavage-bare wardrobe debut — orange-trim sleeveless top, low-rider skirt. Wardrobe-shift from the Drum-arc snow-gear; the arc-canonical Nami silhouette installs.

Sea-Voyage Transit / pre-Alabasta (Ch. 156) — navigates the undersea-volcano hot spot; names the enemy-with-our-faces threat

• Names the undersea-volcano steam-cloud as a hot spot (p. 4) — navigator-as-sea-hazard-authority register. Vivi and Chopper supply the geological explanation; Nami converts it into a navigation order.
• Orders “FULL STEAM AHEAD!!!” through the fog (p. 7) — operational sea-hazard decisional-authority. See Nami As Crew Navigator Identifies Sea-Hazards Pattern (NEW).
• Witnesses Bon Clay’s Mane Mane no Mi face-cycle demonstration (pp. 11-14) without recognizing him as Mr. 2. The Strawhats don’t have Bon Clay’s photo-dossier; the encounter is a stranger-with-a-fruit beat from Nami’s perspective.
• LOAD-BEARING — names the enemy-with-our-friends’-faces tactical-threat (p. 18, after Vivi reads the Cobra-face beat): “He could do a lot of damage. …If he disguised himself as one of us, we wouldn’t be able to trust each other.” Strategic-realist register — Nami converts Vivi’s family-reading into the trust-corrosion threat-formulation. First on-page Nami articulation of the crew can’t trust each other if anyone could be the enemy arc-grammar — pre-loads the Alabasta-saga who-is-the-real-X identity-paranoia sub-plot.
• Charges Wapol’s slim-form 28,800-berries equivalent fee via off-screen residual carry-over (the extortionate-navigator grammar continues as flavor tell).

Alabasta voyage (Ch. 155) — fully recovered; lounges on the deck

• First on-page post-recovery appearance. Nami, now fully recovered from the Drum-arc fever, sits cross-legged on the deck of the Going Merry in casual wardrobe (p. 14), listening to Vivi’s exposition. The Drum-arc medical-rescue mission is over; Nami is back to operational health. (She uses Karoo as a pillow / leans against him on p. 15.)
• First Nami-Vivi shared-deck-frame post-recovery (p. 14). The two-women-of-the-crew composition is now operational.

Drum Island (Ch. 153) — fully recovered; helps haul cannons; witnesses the cherry-blossom bloom

• Fully recovered from the Five-Day Sickness (Ch. 130-149). No fever, no symptoms; physically active and helping the cannon-haul. The arc-driving illness is resolved — Kureha’s treatment has worked.
• First on-page Nami-as-witness to the cherry-blossom bloom (p. 16): “It’s so pretty…” The recipient of the doctor’s care is the one who articulates the chapter’s grace-note.
• Active in the cannon-haul team (p. 2-3, p. 7) alongside Sanji and Luffy and Vivi.

Drum Island (Ch. 152) — recovers, pickpockets Kureha for Wapol’s key, articulates the recruitment-pivot question

• Recovering from her fever (pp. 4-7, 11-15, 18) — Sanji carries her around the castle; she insists “I’m fine. I don’t feel like I’m going to die at all now.” (p. 13) over Kureha’s two-more-days mandate.
• Pickpockets Kureha for Wapol’s weapons-room key (p. 14). Kureha had the key (returned to her possession between Ch. 150 and Ch. 152 off-page); Nami stole it back: “I stole it.”. Kureha cackles: “Hee hee! Clever girl. You’ve got a lot of guts, bargaining with me.”. Pays the doctor’s bill via the stolen key (“Your account is paid in full.”) but cannot buy the crew’s release (“As a doctor, I can’t.”). First on-page Kureha-acknowledges-Nami-as-peer beat. See Nami Picks A Pocket Of The Arc Villain Pattern.
• Articulates the recruitment-pivot question — Can you heal his heart? (p. 18). Directs the question at Sanji standing under the silhouetted pirate-flag; the question separates Chopper’s want-to-join from his join-ability and breaks the recruitment-impasse. First on-page Nami-as-recruitment-channel beat in the Drum arc. See Chopper First-Person Heart-Wound Articulation Recruitment Pivot, Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern.

Drum Island (Ch. 150) — recovers; pickpockets Wapol on the castle stairs

• Awake and mobile for the first time since collapsing. Three days of bed-rest in Dr. Kureha’s castle (p. 5: “I’ve been stuck in bed for three days. I can’t take any more!”); decides to slip out before “the doctor returns” (p. 5). First post-fever Nami beat — implicitly a partial cure-credit for Dr. Kureha.
• Pickpockets Wapol on the castle stairs (pp. 5-7, 13). Plays innocent (“I’m just a navigator who’s passing through.”), shoves Wapol down a flight of stairs (BOO!! …LIAR!!!), and lifts the key to his arsenal off his coat in the contact. Reveals the theft three pages later (“So that’s what this is, the key to his arsenal. Too bad. I thought it was the key to the treasure vaults.”, p. 13) and tosses the key off the castle peak into the snow (p. 15). Recurring Nami-vs-villain pickpocket pattern — cf. her thefts from Buggy, Arlong, forward-canon Crocodile. See Nami Picks A Pocket Of The Arc Villain Pattern.
• Stitches Wapol’s coat for an extortionate fee (p. 11). After Luffy shreds Wapol’s coat snapping him off his charge, Nami sews it back together in three needle-flashes (SHEEN—!!) and presents the bill: “28,800 berries!!! And it was on sale!!” / “So you can pay me three times its value plus interest.” Nami’s recurring usury-grammar reappears in mid-combat.

Drum Island (Ch. 146) — in Kureha’s care; first interaction with Chopper

• First on-page confirmation that Nami is in Kureha’s care. Wakes in a four-poster bed in a Drum Castle turret-room — ‘It’s cold. Where are my clothes? / What’s going on out there?’ (p. 13). Off-panel Kureha addresses her offhand: ‘Nah. Go back to sleep.’. Nami insists on going out: ‘I’m not talking about the weather!’. The Drum arc’s medical-rescue premise is operationally underway — Nami is recuperating inside the castle while the fight rages outside.
• First interaction with Tony Tony Chopper. Lends Chopper her jacket — ‘You can wear my jacket.’ / Chopper: ‘You think so?’ (FWUFF). Chopper considers it cool (the same coded-praise Nami uses elsewhere). Her jacket then gets passed to Luffy by the chapter’s end (Sanji finds the unconscious Luffy wearing Nami’s jacket, p. 19) — a small chain-of-care motif: doctor’s-castle-bed → Chopper → Luffy.

Drum Island (Ch. 140) — recovers from her fever; recruits Chopper

• Recovers from the Grand-Line fever that nearly killed her — Chopper’s medical care (off-page during Ch. 139) has brought down her fever; Chopper continues her treatment in-bed (p. 7: ‘You need antibiotic injections and plenty of bed rest.’). Nami is mobile enough to argue with Kureha at the breakfast table (pp. 4-5) but Chopper sends her back to bed.
• Recruits Chopper for the ship’s-doctor slot. Nami is the active agent of the recruitment-pitch — her splash ‘SO… WANNA COME ALONG?’ (p. 10) and her follow-up ‘If we had a doctor with us, I wouldn’t have to stay here for three more days. And we could really use a doctor. I’d really appreciate it.’ — extending the recruiter-of-the-sympathetic role she already played for Sanji.
• Treats Kureha as a peer. Casually calls her ‘old lady’ and ‘amazing old crone’ (p. 4) — earning a fan-whap. The cordial-impudence register that defines Nami’s interactions with anyone she sees as another adult-equal.
• Hears Chopper’s backstory from Kureha (pp. 12-14) — the rejected-by-both-worlds origin. Nami responds with sincere sympathy: ‘How cruel…’ and ’…Can heal his heart?’ The recruitment is now relational, not transactional.
• First on-page named birthday (back-matter SBS, p. 19, alongside Chopper’s): nothing new for Nami here — but worth noting that Nami front-illustrates the SBS column.

Drum Island (Ch. 139) — wakes up in Kureha’s castle; Five-Day Sickness diagnosed; meets Chopper

• Wakes up in Dr. Kureha’s mountaintop castle hospital (pp. 9-15) — first conscious scene since collapsing. See Kureha Castle Without A King Mountain Hospital.
• Diagnosed with the Five-Day Sickness from a Keschia tick bite (pp. 13-14). Kureha: bitten three days ago in “hot, steaming jungles” / “a prehistoric island with your belly exposed” — i.e., contracted on Little Garden. The illness causes “a fever that never drops below 104°F, superinfection, myocarditis, arteritis, encephalitis” and would have killed her in two more days untreated. See Nami Sick Aboard Merry Drum Arc Hook, Keschia Five-Day-Sickness Insect Bite Hot Jungles Eradicated-100-Years-Ago.
• First on-page meets Chopper (pp. 10-11) — Chopper peeks at her, she throws a pillow, dryly mocks his peeking-the-wrong-way and calls him “a moron”; recognizes that Chopper spoke.
• Kicked back into bed by Kureha when she tries to leave (p. 14): three more days of bed-rest mandated. “There are only two ways a patient ever leaves my care… fully recovered… or dead!!!”

Drum Island (Ch. 138) — D-doctor… doctor… delirium dialogue; carried by Luffy to Drum Castle

• Delirium dialogue reduced to one word (pp. 10-13) — across multiple panels Nami repeats “D-doctor… doctor… doctor…”. First on-page Nami-delirium reduced-speech beat — her Grand Line fever has progressed past conversational speech. Dramatic-irony: she chants for the doctor without knowing the doctor’s castle is now in sight (p. 16). See Nami Grand Line Fever Onset Cliffhanger.
• Carried by Sanji on the early climb, then by Luffy after Sanji collapses (pp. 10-17). Luffy ties her onto his back (TUK!!, p. 11) and carries her up the blizzard-locked summit alone over three hours. Reaches the doctor’s castle on Luffy’s back (p. 17, ”…We made it.”) — still non-conscious. See Luffy Carries Crew Up The Mountain Endurance-Climb Debut, Luffy Needs Doctor Crew.

Drum Island (Ch. 137)

• Still gravely ill, unconscious; carried by Sanji through the avalanche then by Luffy out of the debris. Non-speaking. The race-to-the-doctor stake remains live and is now compounded (Sanji is also unconscious cargo). See Luffy Needs Doctor Crew.

Drum Island (Ch. 134)

• Gravely ill and feverish, carried on Luffy’s back through the blizzard (pp. 6-11). Nami is the patient driving the entire Drum Island arc — the crew braves a snowbound island specifically to find her a doctor. No dialogue this chapter.

Drum Island (Ch. 132)

• Gravely ill with an un-diagnosed fever; bedridden under blankets, attended by Vivi (pp. 2-3, 8). Non-speaking this chapter.
• Too sick to navigate — the crew must anchor at night and seek a doctor; her illness is the stated driver of the entire arc.

Drum Island (Ch. 131)

• Nami has fallen ill and lies sick below deck on the Going Merry, tended by Vivi (pp. 9-10, 15).
• Her illness is the central plot hook of the Drum Island arc — the crew needs to find a doctor.
• The crew shields her from Wapol’s attack: Luffy orders “Vivi, take over here!!” (p. 9) and “Karoo!! Watch Nami!!” (p. 15); Sanji threatens to throw a crewmate overboard “If anything happens to Nami” (p. 7).

Alabasta voyage (Ch. 130)

• First on-page Strawhat illness. Nami falls ill with a Grand Line climate disease; her fever reads 104 degrees and is “getting worse” (pp. 4, 6). The illness is the structural trigger that proves the crew has no doctor and drives the Drum Island detour.
• Refuses medical care and downplays the fever (“I’m fine”, “That thermometer must be broken”, “This is my normal temperature!!!”) — first on-page Nami-pushes-through-illness-for-the-mission beat. The crew physically overrules her and insists she rest.
• Even while feverish and dizzy, Nami’s navigator-instinct functions — she senses the air is different and predicts a “big wind” before the cyclone appears (pp. 11-17). First on-page Nami weather-premonition delivered while ill.
• Had a newspaper revealing the escalating Alabasta war and hid it (Vivi’s confession on p. 8 — “I didn’t want you to worry”); the paper is three days old. Re-keys Nami’s newspaper-subscription habit as strategic-information management.

Little Garden (close) → Drum Island (set-up) (Ch. 129)

• Panics at the Island Eater Sea King and demands the Merry turn away; foil to Luffy’s sail straight ahead on faith trust-beat (pp. 4-5).
• Visibly exhausted after the Little Garden ordeal; hands Log-Pose watch-duty to Vivi (p. 16).
• Collapses with a fever at chapter’s end (p. 20) — first on-page sign of her Grand-Line illness; the cliffhanger that opens the Drum Island arc and the Tony Tony Chopper recruitment.

Little Garden (Ch. 126) — Instinct — freed from the wax-statue prison by Luffy’s heat

• Freed from the wax-statue prison by Luffy’s heat (Ch. 126 pp. 5-6) — Luffy ignites Karoo’s saddle-rope and melts the wax-statue prisons; Nami is freed alive — “You’re right. Thanks.” (p. 6). Pays off the Ch. 0119 wax-strike abduction → Ch. 0124-0125 wax-statue captivity arc. Cross-link Luffy (rescuer), Doru Doru no Mi (heat-melts-wax weakness exploited).

Little Garden (Ch. 125) — Candle Champion — wax-pedestal-bound + affect-painted to bestial (cries MRAR!!!); paid-off the Ch. 119 wax-strike abduction; co-victim of Goldenweek’s Crescendo Stone gravity-pressure attack

• Wax-pedestal-bound + affect-painted bestial captive (Ch. 125 pp. 3-4) — Nami is bound on a wax-pedestal beside Vivi and Zoro. Goldenweek has affect-painted her to feel bestial — Nami roars “MRAR!!!” (cat-like, fangs-and-eyes framing) under the affect-distortion. First on-page Nami-as-affect-distortion-target. Pays off the Ch. 119 WIP!! wax-strike abduction cliffhanger — Nami has been wax-statued by Mr. 3 between chapters.
• Crescendo-Stone gravity-pressure victim (Ch. 125 pp. 15-16) — Nami screams under the Crescendo-Stone weight-scale pressure (10 KILOS → 100 KILOS → 200 KILOS → 500 KILOS). First on-page Nami-as-gravity-pressure-victim.
• Cross-link Mr. 3 (Nami’s wax-imprisoner), Miss Goldenweek (Nami’s affect-painter + Crescendo-Stone-attacker), Sanji (Nami’s rescue-initiator from the Going Merry — “Could something have happened to Nami or Vivi!!?”).

Little Garden (Ch. 124) — The Tea Is Good — wax-bound on the Wax-Wax House execution-chamber platform; off-stage line “See? You two should’ve struck a pose like me. So now what?” — implying Nami posed for her wax-statue intentionally

• Wax-bound on the Wax-Wax House execution-chamber platform (Ch. 124 pp. 2-3, 11-17) — Nami is one of three wax-bound Strawhats. The chapter resolves her Ch. 0119 wax-strike abduction into the execution-statue endpoint of the dossier-pickoff plan.
• LOAD-BEARING — Nami posed for her wax-statue intentionally (Ch. 124 p. 12) — Nami: “See? You two should’ve struck a pose like me. So now what?” — implies Nami deliberately struck a flattering pose for her wax-statue execution-form. Character-coding beat: Nami’s vanity-management under death-clock pressure — even at the brink of execution, she optimizes for self-presentation. Pre-loads Nami’s recurring vanity-under-stress comedy-register. Cross-link Nami Vanity Under Execution Pressure Pose Beat (new — propose).
• Cross-link Vivi (co-wax-bound), Zoro (co-wax-bound), Doru Doru no Mi (wax-bound-on-execution-platform), Nami Vanity Under Execution Pressure Pose Beat (new — propose).

Little Garden (Ch. 123) — trapped in wax atop the pillar; I WAS GOING TO CUT OFF MY LEGS SO I COULD FIGHT irreverent self-amputation gag; WE’RE GETTING STIFF!! progressive-hardening-narration

• Trapped in wax atop the pillar; WE’RE GETTING STIFF!! progressive-hardening narration (Ch. 123 p. 2) — Nami yells the hardening-progress to Luffy from atop the wax-pillar.
• LOAD-BEARING — I WAS GOING TO CUT OFF MY LEGS SO I COULD FIGHT irreverent self-amputation gag (Ch. 123 p. 3) — Nami: “YOU GOT IT WRONG. I WAS GOING TO CUT OFF MY LEGS SO I COULD FIGHT.” Vivi: “SHH! THAT’S EVEN STUPIDER. WHAT KIND OF FOOL CUTS OFF HIS LEGS SO HE CAN RUN AWAY?” — first Nami-as-Strawhat-irreverence-participant beat. The I-was-going-to-mutilate-myself-strategically register is a load-bearing comedic-coding tell — Nami’s I-am-the-pragmatist register breaks open into the irreverent-under-threat register. Cross-link Strawhat Irreverence Under Threat Coding (new — load-bearing).
• No combat / no Mikan-prop combat-use in this chapter — Nami is wax-pinned throughout; the navigator-coding remains dialogue-only.
• Cross-link Vivi (amputation-plan-rebut partner), Luffy (chapter’s only mobile Strawhat), Strawhat Irreverence Under Threat Coding (new — load-bearing).

Little Garden (Ch. 122) — A Dead Body Is Useless — wax-bound; I can’t die like this!! despair register; Vivi!! Wait! I’m with you too solidarity beat; Luffy!! reunion-relief

• Wax-bound on the execution platform throughout (Ch. 122 pp. 6-13). Nami is operational-victim in the chapter — coughing through the wax-inhalation (p. 6, KOFF KOFF), articulating despair (“I can’t move my hand!! No! I can’t die like this!!” p. 9), then resolving via solidarity (p. 13).
• I can’t die like this!! despair register (Ch. 122 p. 9) — “I can’t move my hand!! No! I can’t die like this!!” — first on-page Nami-articulates-existential-despair in this arc. Her register is practical-mortality (not honor-tier-mortality like Brogy or Zoro) — the don’t-want-to-die prudential register vs. the die-with-honor register that Brogy + Zoro share.
• Vivi!! Wait! I’m with you too!! solidarity beat (Ch. 122 p. 13) — when Vivi accepts the Let’s do it combat-commitment, Nami joins. The pragmatic-financial-Nami register (Ch. 0111 300% interest) is operationally replaced by solidarity-with-Vivi-without-financial-incentive register. First on-page Nami-acts-out-of-pure-solidarity-with-Vivi beat.
• Luffy!! reunion-relief at rescue-team arrival (Ch. 122 p. 17) — Nami’s relief-reaction at the Karoo+Usopp+Luffy charge. The despair-register (p. 9) is replaced by relief-register (p. 17) within ~8 pages.
• How ‘bout we crush these guys together? combat-suggestion (Ch. 122 p. 10) — Nami contributes the alternative-combat-strategy: collective-physical-attack on the wax-trap structure. The suggestion is rejected for Zoro’s leg-cut strategy, but it positions Nami as tactical-input-source alongside Sanji and Zoro.
• Cross-link Vivi (solidarity partner), Luffy (rescue-team relief-target), Zoro (alternative-strategy-rejected register).

Little Garden (Ch. 121) — I Knew — delivered unconscious to Mr. 3’s wax-camp (post-Ch. 119 wax-strike abduction); regains consciousness; immobilized by wax-mist; first on-page reaction to Mr. 3’s execution-mode

• Delivered unconscious by Mr. 5 to Mr. 3’s wax-camp (Ch. 121 p. 9) — Mr. 5 (dragging Nami in by her hair): ‘We caught the traitorous wench.’ / ‘We have her.’ The Ch. 0119 wax-strike abduction is now operationally completed: Nami has been transported from the jungle-strike scene to the wax-camp execution scene. Mr. 5’s traitorous wench register continues the BW-officer mockery-grammar (parallel to Mr. 5’s Ms. Wednesday address to Vivi).
• Regains consciousness alongside Vivi (Ch. 121 p. 13) — Nami (waking, dazed): ‘Vivi!!! I thought you were with Luffy!!’ The Ch. 0119 abduction-by-wax-strike has put Nami offline from the Mr. 3 / Goldenweek pair-debut to now — this is her first on-page re-emergence.
• Immobilized by Mr. 3’s wax-mist (Ch. 121 pp. 14-15) — Nami: ‘Something’s raining down on us!!’ / ‘He’ll turn you into wax too!!!’ — first on-page Nami direct combat-engagement with Mr. 3’s execution-mode. The Ch. 0119 abduction was off-panel; Ch. 121 is her first on-page Mr. 3 confrontation.
• Cross-link Mr. 5 (delivers her unconscious), Mr. 3 (the execution-mode opponent), Vivi (co-captive), Brogy (co-captive), Zoro (co-captive — delivered alongside her), Doru Doru no Mi (Ch. 121 immobilization-victim).

Little Garden (Ch. 119) — lost in the jungle, encounters a triceratops, abducted by an unseen wax-strike; first Strawhat capture by Baroque Works in the arc; Karoo separated at the moment of abduction

• Lost in the jungle alone (p. 12) — encounters a triceratops, panics. Confirms the Little-Garden-jungle-disorientation register applies to Nami despite her navigator’s tier (no Log Pose available in the foliage; the navigator-as-disorientable-by-terrain beat).
• Greets a wax-decoy-Sanji (p. 12) — “Hey, Nami. What great timing…” — Nami greets an apparent Sanji-figure in the jungle but the panel composition implies Mr. 3’s wax-illusion construct has been deployed as the disorientation-vector before the abduction-strike. First on-page (implicit) operational use of Mr. 3’s Doru Doru no Mi for decoy-construction (vs. the architectural / crushing-platform uses canonized in Ch. 0118).
• LOAD-BEARING — abducted by an unseen wax-strike (p. 14) — pulled off-panel by an unseen WIP!! mechanism while running through the jungle. First Strawhat capture-by-Baroque-Works in the Little Garden arc. Sets the chapter-end cliffhanger: Sanji + Usopp hear her scream and converge with Luffy. Pre-loads the wax-prison set-piece in subsequent chapters (Nami is the first wax-prisoner). Cross-link Doru Doru no Mi (Ch. 0119 first-combat-use evidence add), Mr. 3 (Ch. 0119 wax-strike-against-Strawhat-target).
• Briefly accompanied by Karoo before the abduction; they are separated at the moment of the wax-strike (p. 14). First time Karoo functions as Nami’s escort rather than Vivi’s mount — the duck-as-Vivi’s-mount register is broken by this beat. Pre-loads the Karoo-as-Strawhat-affiliated-crewmate register. Cross-link Karoo (Ch. 0119 Karoo-as-Nami-escort pivot), Doru Doru no Mi First On-Page Operation Nami Abduction (new).

Little Garden (Ch. 117) — Log-Pose-reset question triggers Little-Garden-lethality monologue and Eternal-Pose name-reveal; deadpan-foil to Usopp’s warrior-aspiration register

Little Garden (Ch. 116) — Big — first sight of a giant; I’ve heard of them but never saw one sociology-install; genre-savvy cannibal-paranoia at Dorry’s camp; chapter-closing Too much! paired with Luffy’s Too big.

• First sight of a giant: ‘It’s a giant!! I’ve heard of them, but… I never saw one before.’ (p.11) — installs giants-as-known-but-rarely-seen sociology through Nami’s reaction-line.
• Genre-savvy paranoia at Dorry’s camp: ‘He obviously wants to fatten us up so that he can have human meat for a change.’ (p.13) — wrong, but in-character.
• Final-panel reaction: ‘Too much!’ (p.19, paired with Luffy’s ‘Too big.’).
• Cross-link Dorry (new), Brogy (new), Giants Lifespan And Race (new).

Little Garden (Ch. 115) — Little Garden of Adventure — Log-Pose-reader register; let’s leave the island prudence-register; why does it always end up like this? leadership-grievance

• Reads the Log Pose (p.7) — “There’s no mistake!! After Cactus Island, the next island on our course is… that one!!”. First on-page Log-Pose-reader register since the post-Whisky-Peak voyage began. Cross-link Log Pose.
• Prudence-register: wants to wait on the ship (p.11) — “Yeah. Let’s just wait on the ship for the Log Pose to reset… and get the heck away from here!!!”. Foil to Luffy’s I-smell-adventure. Pre-loads every later Nami-as-voice-of-prudence beat.
• Leadership-grievance about Zoro/Sanji synchronized-abandonment (p.15) — “And then there were two. Why does it always end up like this?” First on-page crew-leadership-weakness beat — Nami registers that the two strongest combatants will repeatedly leave her holding the line. Forward-pattern: this grievance recurs across every later split-the-crew arc-pivot.
• Spots the ammonite fossil and identifies it on sight (p.16) — “That looks like an ammonite.” Pre-loads Nami’s role as navigational-knowledge-source for the crew (paired with Usopp’s exploration-book-reading).
• Final-panel composition (p.19) — Nami’s “BIG TROUBLE!! I KNOW WHAT ISLAND THIS IS!!” is the chapter’s recognition-beat — Nami connects Usopp’s book passage to the Land-of-Giants identification.
• Cross-link Vivi (Grand-Line-briefer), Log Pose.

Whisky Peak (Ch. 114)

• First on-page Baroque Works organization-scale canonization: “BAROQUE WORKS HAS ABOUT 2,000 MEMBERS…” (p. 4). Nami is the strategic-intel-deliverer for the crew.
• Kicks Luffy for crushing the Eternal Pose (THWAK!, p. 16): “ARE YOU CRAZY!?” — installs the Nami-disagrees-with-Luffy-on-principle-vs-safer-route tension.

Whisky Peak (Ch. 113) — It’s All Right — extracts Vivi for negotiation; coaches the boss-secret reveal; no money in a chaos country axiom

• Extracts Vivi for the negotiation beat (page 5): “WE HAVE BUSINESS TO DISCUSS… WHAT SAY WE NEGOTIATE?” — Nami physically scoops Vivi up and walks her aside from the Luffy-Sanji-Zoro grouping. The pirate-extracts-the-VIP-for-a-private-talk register is the Nami-as-pragmatic-banker signature in negotiation-mode.
• Coaches Vivi not to tell immediately before Vivi blurts the boss-secret (page 9): “that’s okay, don’t tell us” — the comic-grammar pivot: Nami pretends to back off, and Vivi defensively-blurts anyway. The reveal-by-coaxing technique is canonized as the Nami-extraction-grammar.
• Articulates the no-money-in-a-chaos-country axiom (page 9): “With your country in chaos, there’s no money to be made there. I’m starting to get the picture.” — first on-page Nami-as-political-economist beat; pre-loads her later strategic-banker-of-the-crew role.
• Sob-line at the Warlord-hit-list status (page 11): “WE FINALLY REACH THE GRAND LINE AND WE’RE ALREADY WANTED BY THE SEVEN WARLORDS OF THE SEA. THIS IS TOO MUCH!!” — the tier-mismatch-stress register Nami signature.
• Bows-out-of-the-three-of-us-count (page 12, when Zoro says “the three of us are on Baroque Works’ hit list”) — Nami is not enumerated as a hit-list target despite being equally present at the secret-spill. The non-combat-female-not-on-the-pirate-board register continues. Cross-link Nami Cold-Blooded Witch Woman Epithet.

Whisky Peak (Ch. 111) — The Secret Criminal Organization — billion-berry quote converted to performance-contingent contract; 300% interest coercive-restitution doctrine deployed against Zoro; pivot to Zolo’s strong, it’s all right sincere reassurance; walks Vivi past beaten Mr. 9 as Vivi delivers Baroque-Works monologue

• Converts the billion-berry quote (Ch. 0110 final panel) into a performance-contingent contract (page 4) — “if you deliver the princess safely to her kingdom… there should be no problem!” The lump-sum Ch. 0110 quote is now pinned to delivery, with Nami extracting both price and terms from Igaram. Zoro (deadpan): “That’s blackmail.” Nami (wink): “Pay up.”
• You expect us to save her before we get our money? (page 4) — first on-page instance of Nami knowingly stalling life-or-death rescue for contract-negotiation. The mercenary-broker register held in deliberate tension with the crew-adopts-the-cause register.
• LOAD-BEARING: deploys 300% interest coercive-restitution against Zoro (page 6) — invokes the Loguetown sword-debt (“You still owe me 300,000 berries” at 300% interest) to coerce Zoro into combat-cooperation. Editor’s footnote: *IN NAMI’S MIND, THESE CALCULATIONS ARE CORRECT —ED. — Oda’s paratextual confirmation that Nami is fabricating the debt. First on-page crew-internal financial-extortion in the series. Cross-link Nami 300 Percent Interest Coercive Restitution (new), Nami Coercive-Restitution Doctrine (sister-grammar — external-village register).
• Pivot to sincere reassurance (page 7) — “Zolo’s as strong as an ox. It’s all right.” — Nami’s affect shifts from coercive-broker to genuine-comforter for Igaram. The Nami-character-doctrine is two-layered: coercive-pricing on the outside, sincere-cause-adoption on the inside.
• Walks Vivi past beaten Mr. 9 as Vivi delivers the full Baroque-Works exposition-monologue (pages 15-16) — Nami as the interrogator-prompt that elicits the monologue (“Then why do you all obey him? You don’t even know what he looks like?”).

Whisky Peak (Ch. 107) — Moonlight and Tombstones — out-drinks 12 men at the welcome-celebration; skeptic-tell who-are-these-people-anyway during the welcome; reawakens with Sanji at chapter-end

• Out-drinks 12 men at the welcome-celebration before passing out (pages 4, 7) — Nami’s drinking-capacity register canonized at 12+ men.
• Skeptic-of-the-welcome tell: asks aloud during the celebration “Who are these people, anyway!?” (page 5) — Nami clocks the suspicious-hospitality earlier than Luffy/Usopp. The navigator-as-pattern-recognizer register installs the Grand-Line-welcome-trap suspicion early.
• Reawakens by chapter-end (page 18) alongside Sanji: “We’ll have to be careful with them… it appears…!!” — second-responder to the Zoro-vs-Baroque-100 confrontation. The navigator-recognizes-the-trap-too-late sub-doctrine pairs with Whisky Peak Welcome Is A Trap.

Reverse Mountain (Ch. 104) — Names the Calm Belt; co-articulates the Laboon-empathy-frame; navigator-as-geography-reciter mode

• First on-page utterance of the Calm Belt (page 6): “But to flee the Grand Line, they’d have to cross the Calm Belt!” — Nami’s navigator-knowledge-base extends to Grand-Line-exit-mechanics. The Ch. 50-100 navigator-as-the-crew’s-geographic-reference role is now Grand-Line-extended. Cross-link Calm Belt.
• Reaction-panel close-ups during the Crocus exposition (pages 6-11) — registers the gastric-acid sea (A sea of gastric acid!?), the 50-year wait, the Red-Line ramming.
• Co-articulates the Laboon-empathy-frame with Sanji (page 11): “Look at those scars on his forehead. …you can’t help but feel sorry for him.” — the empathy-line that triggers Luffy’s mast-bonk pivot.
• Panic-reaction during the mast-bonk (OKAY, I’ve reached the top! / What’s that idiot doing?).

Reverse Mountain (Ch. 102) — First on-page utterance of Twin Capes; weather-misread as sound-of-the-whale; I want to go home register installs

• First on-page utterance of Twin Capes (page 3): sights a mountain ahead, then corrects: “That’s not right. It should be open sea once we pass the twin capes.” The navigator-as-geographer register installs the Grand-Line entry geography by name.
• Misreads Laboon’s call as wind/rock formations (page 3): the chapter’s only Nami misjudgment of an environmental signal — Laboon’s BWAAH!! is too unique to be cataloged in East-Blue priors. The barometric-prophet register has its first Grand-Line-tier blind-spot.
• First on-page I want to go home register (page 18): “I hate this. I want to go home.” — Nami’s morale-floor articulation at the first Grand-Line creature-encounter. Forward-pattern: the Nami-wants-to-go-home register recurs across Skypiea (clouds, Enel), Thriller Bark (ghosts), Punk Hazard (Caesar). The chapter is the prototype install of the Nami-articulates-the-crew’s-morale-floor doctrine.

Reverse Mountain (Ch. 101)

• First on-page Grand-Line-arc chart-reading authority — Nami leads the geographic exposition for the entire chapter. The Ch. 88-100 navigator-of-the-crew role-canonization here lands its first Grand-Line-arc operational expression.
• First on-page articulation of the Calm Belt(s) (page 6-7) as a structural geographic feature: ‘WE’RE IN THE CALM BELT. / THEY’RE THE CALM BELTS WHERE NO WINDS BLOW! / THE GRAND LINE IS SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO OTHER SEAS.’
• First on-page articulation of the Reverse-Mountain canal-current entrance mechanic (pages 3, 12, 13): ‘THE ENTRANCE TO THE GRAND LINE… IS UP A MOUNTAIN’ / ‘IF POWERFUL CURRENTS FROM ALL FOUR SEAS CONVERGED AT THAT MOUNTAIN’ / ‘REVERSE MOUNTAIN IS A WINTER ISLAND…’
• Hand-drawn diagrams operationalized as on-page expository device (page 7 three-band Calm-Belt schematic; page 12 four-seas-convergence cross-diagram; page 13 winter-island-canal mechanism). Nami’s teaching-the-crew-the-world role from Ch. 22 page 14-15 is here re-instantiated at Grand-Line-arc scale.
• Defends the Buggy-stolen map against Usopp’s can-we-trust-it challenge; Sanji backs her with ‘NAMI’S ALWAYS RIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO CHARTS AND NAVIGATION’ — the navigator-authority-over-map-source doctrine canonized.

Loguetown / East-Blue saga close (Ch. 100) — Steers Going Merry through Loguetown storm toward Grand-Line lighthouse; states world-map vow; enters Grand Line

• Steers the Going Merry through the Loguetown storm toward the lighthouse-as-Grand-Line-entrance marker (page 21): “THERE’S A LIGHT. / THAT’S THE GUIDING LIGHT. / BEYOND THAT LIGHT IS THE ENTRANCE… / …TO THE GRAND LINE.” First on-page canonization of the Grand-Line-entrance-lighthouse landmark. Cross-link Lighthouse Marks Grand Line Entrance.
• Nami’s prior weather-prediction (Ch. 98-99) lands as the chapter’s storm-context — Smoker registers: “SO THIS IS WHAT NAMI WAS TALKING ABOUT!” (page 17). The barometric-prophet register pays off as the storm engulfs Loguetown.
• States her vow on the Going Merry as the crew enters the Grand Line (page 22, five-vow-stack ritual): “I’M GOING TO DRAW A MAP OF THE WORLD! / KLUNK!” The Ch. 8 world-map-dream re-articulated at the East-Blue-saga close. Foot planted on the shared keg. Cross-link Three Vow Stack Pre-Grand-Line.
• Enters the Grand Line aboard the Going Merry at the chapter’s final panel. East-Blue saga closes.

Loguetown (Ch. 99) — First strategic weather-prediction on-page; races with Usopp to rescue Luffy

• First strategic weather-prediction on-page (page 4): ‘A storm’s going to hit this island. …I saw dark clouds in the eastern sky. The air pressure and temperature have been steadily dropping. This is the calm before the storm!!’ — promotes weather-reading from navigation skill to strategic intelligence. The Ch. 98 barometric-prophet install is here operationally deployed in a high-stakes context. The same storm she predicts is the chapter’s deus-ex-machina rescue mechanism — a single-chapter setup-payoff. Cross-link Nami Reads Weather Strategic Tell.
• Races with Usopp toward the plaza to rescue Luffy.
• Arrives at the execution platform carrying something heavy with Usopp (page 12) — contents unspecified this chapter.

Loguetown (Ch. 98) — Canonized as barometric-prophet navigator; brought 3 of Bell-mère’s tangerine trees aboard the Merry

• Shopping at The Fisherman supermarket (page 3). Asks for a sheet of plastic — the vendor: ‘Plastic? But the weather’s fine.’ Nami: ‘There’s a storm coming. The barometric pressure has dropped. The air’s different.’ — canonized as a weather-reading navigator from atmospheric tells alone. The Ch. 95 cover-tattoo navigator-officer role gets its first operational deployment. The barometric-prophet register is installed.
• Re-confirms reading at dangerously low (page 16): ‘The crowd… has thinned out a lot. I’d better return to the ship right away. The air pressure has dropped dangerously low.’ — the chapter’s Dark Clouds title is physically delivered through Nami’s barometric channel. The storm-system is operationally inbound.
• Reacts to Alvida’s I’m going to be Luffy’s line by exchanging confused looks with Luffy (pages 7-8). Nami is on-scaffold with Luffy when Alvida arrives; observes the confrontation and the Buggy-arrival.
• Page 18 paratext canonization — Nami’s Tangerine Grove aboard the Merry (Going Merry Ship Tour #7). ‘When Nami left Coco Village, she took three of Belle-Mère’s tangerine trees with her. Nami tends this little orchard. The tangerines are supposed to be very sweet.’ — canonizes that Nami brought three of Bell-mère’s tangerine trees with her when she joined the Straw Hats (the Ch. 95 I’ll-just-steal-more / take-care-everybody farewell beat is here paired with a transplant-her-mother’s-living-asset beat). The grove is structurally a living-tree memorial to Bell-mère aboard the Merry.

Loguetown (Ch. 96) — Post-Arlong-arc identity transition; News Coo subscriber; navigates the Merry to the Grand Line; arrives at Roguetown

• First on-page self-identification as a pirate (page 2): ‘I DON’T WANT TO BE A PENNILESS PIRATE.’ The Ch. 80-94 cartographer-slave-of-Arlong frame is here closed by Nami’s own voice in the post-arc coda; the Ch. 94 sail-departure promise is operationalized as self-description.
• Daily-newspaper-subscription habit installed (page 2). Negotiates the News Coo’s price increase: ‘YOU’RE CHARGING TOO MUCH! DID YOU RAISE THE PRICE AGAIN? … IT ADDS UP IF YOU BUY ONE EVERY DAY.’ Nami is the crew’s information-conduit going forward.
• Self-aware manipulator-of-Sanji register (page 3 aside): ‘SHE’S GOT HIM WRAPPED AROUND HER FINGER.’ The chapter installs the manipulator-is-self-aware layer of Nami’s character.
• Navigates the Merry to Loguetown (pages 10-12). Page 11 — at the bow announcing the approach: ‘IF WE SEE THAT ISLAND… …THEN WE’RE APPROACHING THE GRAND LINE.’ Narrates the city’s significance (Roger’s birth-and-execution location).
• Loan-shark register installs (page 12, Roguetown plaza): ‘I’LL BE GLAD TO LEND YOU SOME MONEY… AT 300% INTEREST.’ — first on-page 300% interest loan-shark line. Forward-pattern: the Nami-as-loan-shark-to-her-own-crew running gag recurs across the series.

Arlong Park (arc-resolution + departure) (Ch. 95) — Tattoo cover-replacement; 100M gifted to village; pickpockets the crowd; leaps onto departing Merry; Straw Hat recruitment finalized

• Two-day post-victory celebration absence: Nami is conspicuously off-panel through the village-wide celebration (pages 2-3); the chapter’s emotional architecture is built around her absence at the party, then her appearance at the tattoo parlor.
• Commissions a cover-tattoo for the Arlong-Pirates sun-mark (page 9, lower tier). At the doctor’s office, sleeve rolled, design-paper extended: “I want you to give me this tattoo. Doctor…” The Ch. 79 Nami Arlong Sun Tattoo visible-on-skin emancipation prediction is operationalized as a cover/overwrite, not a removal. The doctor’s earlier “You’ll always have a scar. That’s how it is with tattoos.” (page 8 flashback voiceover) frames the cover as the only available mechanism.
• New tattoo design canonized: tangerine joined to a pinwheel via a flowing swirl (page 16). The icon Nami wears on her left upper arm for the rest of the series. The design aggregates both surrogate parents’ legacies into a single sigil — Bell-mère’s tangerine grove + Genzo’s pinwheel signature — over-writing the Arlong sun-mark. Two-parent-overwrite resolution-grammar.
• Refuses to take any of the 100,000,000 berries from the village (pages 11-12). Nojiko (relaying Nami’s position): “She says it’s okay. She’ll just steal more. … She’s going to leave all the money!? All 100 million berries?” The Ch. 9 / Ch. 74 dream-figure she spent eight years assembling is returned to the village. The contract-economy of the Arlong-arc closes: the contract was always for the village; the village now owns the money.
• Shouts Set sail! from the village’s far end and runs flat-out for the dock (pages 12-13). TA-DOOM! / “SET SAIL… NOW!!!!” / TOMP TOMP TOMP (bare-foot SFX, full-body running pose). The villagers chase: “Let us thank you properly!!! Stop, Nami!!!” / “Wait, Nami!!! You can’t just leave us like this!!!” — Nami refuses the thank-you-as-burden register; she leaves before they can complete the social-debt-acknowledgment.
• Leaps onto the already-departing Going Merry (pages 14-15). TOMP!! / OOO --- OOO. The first Nami-leaps-aboard-on-the-fly recruitment-arrival composition. Sanji (heart-eyed, “SHE GOT US!!”): the relief-beat.
• Pickpockets every villager on her run-through (page 15). At the Merry’s railing, pile of wallets at her feet (KLUNK KLUNK / SW IP), hand cupped to ear: “Take care, everybody. ♡” The villagers’ cascade: “My wallet’s gone!!! / Mine is gone too!!! / And so’s mine!!!” The I-leave-them-100M / I-take-only-what-I-pickpocket split-action canonizes Nami as categorically a thief, even at her most morally-correct. The Ch. 8 “I specialize in robbing pirates” identity-statement extends to “I rob everyone but I leave the village its 100M.”
• First on-page formal departure as a Straw Hat — the recruitment-acceptance from Ch. 88 here executes operationally. Nami is now committed-crew, not coerced-Arlong-officer.
• Status at chapter close: aboard the Going Merry, sailing out of Coco Village; new tangerine-and-pinwheel tattoo replacing the Arlong sun-mark; foster-family memorialized via the body-mark; formal Straw Hat crewmate.

Arlong Park (flashback: sisterhood-tattoo) (Ch. 95) — Young-Nami discovers young-Nojiko’s solidarity-tattoo; refuses to show her own Arlong-mark

• Discovers Nojiko’s matching shoulder-tattoo (pages 7-9 flashback, some time after Bell-mère’s death and Arlong’s branding). Pinches Nojiko’s cheek (KRER!): “Cheeky boy.” / “You tattooed meanie!!!”
• Refuses to show her own Arlong-mark (page 8): “I don’t want anyone to see my tattoo. I’m not one of them!! But now I’ve been branded a pirate!!!” The chapter installs Nami’s shame-of-the-brand — the visible-on-skin proof that she is operationally inside the villain crew is something she categorically hides. Pre-loads every later Nami-conceals-her-arm beat across the East-Blue and Arabasta arcs.
• Witnesses Nojiko’s “I’m just like you, Nami” solidarity-reveal (page 9). The chapter installs the sister-as-solidarity-bearer register — Nojiko’s choice to scar herself is the first kindness Nami receives after Bell-mère’s death.

Arlong Park (arc-climax — recruitment-acceptance + Bell-mère grave + Nezumi-restitution-extraction) (Ch. 94) — Full recruitment loop closes; first direct combat-strike against an enemy; Bell-mère grave visit; coercive-restitution doctrine installed; bond-deeper-than-blood payoff

• Chapter-opening joy-coded title-splash (page 1): adult Nami laughing open-mouthed at a beach gathering, ‘gonna have a party!’ in English party-balloon text, flanked by Nojiko (left) and Yosaku (right with beer). First joy-coded Nami portrait in the series. Compositional prolepsis — the chapter’s emotional destination is shown before the chapter delivers the logistical destination.
• First on-page presence post-Arlong-defeat (page 3): in the chorus, straw-hat-wearing, watching the Park collapse.
• Recruitment-acceptance summit (page 6): Luffy (Straw Hat extended): ‘YOU’RE ONE OF US NOW!!!!’ — Nami close-up (hand to mouth, tears overwhelming) under DOOM!!!. The Ch. 88 fight-and-die-with-me + Ch. 93 Luffy!!! Help me!!! commitment loop closes.
• Breaks down sobbing on Luffy’s acceptance (page 7): ‘UH-HUH!!!’ + PLIP. The Ch. 80 eight-years-no-tears + never-asks-for-help doctrine is fully terminated — Nami can cry, ask for help, and be answered in the same arc.
• First on-page direct combat-strike against an enemy (page 11): leaps into the frame striking Nezumi — VEEN!!! / SPLASH!!!. ‘THIS IS FOR NOJIKO…’ / ‘I FEEL BETTER NOW.’ The cat-burglar-becomes-combat-active register lands.
• Coercive-restitution doctrine installed (page 12): ‘AND ONE MORE THING… THAT MONEY BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS ISLAND, AND YOU DON’T GET ANY OF THE TREASURE OF ARLONG PARK!!! NOW YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO CLEAN UP THESE FISH-MEN… AND HELP REBUILD GOSA!!’ Strikes Nezumi again: ‘GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY!!!’ The recruit takes the final administrative action of the arc — navigator-as-arc-treasurer.
• Bell-mère grave visit + would-she-have-stopped-me doctrinal-question (page 14): cross-legged at the foot of Bell-mère’s grave (wooden cross on a coastal hillside ringed by tangerine trees). ‘MR. GENZO, NOJIKO… IF BELLE-MÈRE WERE STILL ALIVE… …DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD HAVE STOPPED ME FROM BECOMING A PIRATE?’ Then the comic-deflation-of-the-funeral-register: ‘ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! / BLEH!!!’ — tongue-out grin.
• Bond-deeper-than-blood payoff (page 15 — in Genzo’s voice): ‘YOU’RE BELLE-MÈRE’S DAUGHTER, ALL RIGHT!!! THERE’S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT…’ The Ch. 77 doctrine paid off as inherited-temperament.
• Status at chapter close: at Cocoyasi, celebrating, fully accepted into the Straw Hat crew. Arlong defeated; cache reclaimed; village liberated; Bell-mère’s grave visited; ready to depart.

Arlong Park (chart-room rescue + emotional summit) (Ch. 93) — Receives Luffy’s straw hat, breaks the no-tears clause in gratitude mode, calls Luffy’s name in panic

• The chart-room demolition triggers Nami’s central family-trauma memory (page 9). Interior voice: “BWAH HA HA HA HA!!! / NOJIKO…! / BELLE-MÈRE…!” — first on-page Nami-calls-her-dead-mother’s-name internally (the Ch. 50 BELLE-MÈRE!!! was a solo-deck monologue; this is mid-rescue interior).
• Receives Luffy’s straw hat (page 10). Luffy silently places his hat on Nami’s head. The composition mirrors the Ch. 1 page-46 Shanks-to-Luffy hat-handoff exactly. Nami is the first non-Luffy character to wear the straw hat on-page in any save-mode beat. See Hat Handoff Promise Ch. 93 entry.
• Re-breaks the eight-years-no-tears doctrine in silent-gratitude mode (page 10). Single tear under the hat-brim, hand to mouth, ”…THANK YOU.” — distinct from the Ch. 80 rage-mode first-break. The doctrine is being broken in graded emotional registers.
• Comic-relief courtyard chorus reactions (page 5 — Nami’s confused OH! as a desk crashes down) and dazed bedroom-confusion (page 6 — “LUFFY…?” close-up).
• Calls Luffy’s name in panic at chapter-end (page 17 “LUFFY!!!!”). Arlong Park collapses on Luffy; Nami’s voice is the chapter’s final balloon. Pre-loads the still-pending Help me!!! doctrine-break clause (Ch. 94+).

Arlong Park (witness-narrator to Luffy-vs-Arlong combat) (Ch. 92)

• Narrates fishmen-berserker-mode canonization (page 10): “I’VE NEVER SEEN EYES LIKE THAT!! LUFFY’S ATTACK ONLY ENRAGED HIM!!! THAT’S HOW THE FISH-MEN LOOK WHEN THEY GO BERSERK!!! ARLONG LOOKS DIFFERENT!!” The chapter uses Nami’s eight-year-Arlong-crew expertise as the courier for the race-trait canonization — Nami knows what fishmen look like in rage-mode because she’s seen it.
• Identifies Arlong’s Shark Saw weapon by name (page 13 — “THAT’S HIS SHARK SAW!!”). Insider-knowledge tell: Nami knows the weapon-name, its location in the Park’s interior armory, and what Arlong does with it. Pre-loads the Ch. 93+ weapon-deployment sequence.
• Witnesses Arlong’s USE THAT GIRL paternalistic-gaslighting (page 16) — Nami is on-panel composite during Arlong’s “DRAWING CHARTS FOR ME ALLOWS NAMI TO DO THE THING SHE LOVES BEST!!!” monologue. The chapter’s most-evil framing is delivered with Nami present to hear it.

Arlong Park — combat-spectator at pool’s edge (Ch. 91)

Arlong Park (silent witness; first on-page watching of Luffy fight on her behalf) (Ch. 90) — Recruitment-commitment witnessing

• On-page in the village-side wall composition (pages 9, 14). Silent …! tear-eyed close-ups during Luffy’s friends-will-rescue-me / captain-as-helpless-without-crew monologues. No on-page dialogue this chapter.
• First on-page witnessing of Luffy fighting on her behalf post-Ch.-88 commitment: the Ch. 88 fight-and-die-WITH-ME recruitment-acceptance is here being honored by Luffy’s combat-engagement. Nami is on-page as the recipient-and-witness of the captain-side honoring of her commitment.
• Implicit on-page recruitment as navigator: page 14 Luffy’s ‘I don’t know how to navigate either!!!’ (and the chapter’s specialist-list grammar) installs Nami’s navigator-role-acceptance by Luffy’s mouth. The Ch. 19 ‘She’d make a great navigator’ (Zoro on first observation) reads as the first call; the Ch. 90 Luffy line is the captain-side acceptance.
• Status at chapter close: at the village-side wall, silent, witnessing the Luffy-vs-Arlong combat-climax.

Arlong Park — villager-side; first-name call to Luffy (Ch. 89)

• Villager-side throughout. On-panel ‘LUFFY!!’ (page 15) — first-name call to Luffy registers Nami’s Ch. 88 full-recruitment-acceptance as ongoing-effect.

Arlong Park (Ch. 87) — off-page; the fight is fought on her behalf without her presence

• Referenced multiple times: Usopp’s ‘I do feel sorry for Nami…’ (page 7); Usopp’s ‘Umm, don’t cry, Nami.’ (page 9, misaddressed to Nojiko); Nojiko’s ‘Can you understand what a painful choice that was for her?’ (page 9). The chapter is engine-driven by Nami’s situation even though she does not appear.

Arlong Park (off-stage; help…/Luffy… murmur in a soft inset) (Ch. 82) — Pre-doctrine-break beat; first soft-register-cry-for-help in the arc

• Off-stage but inset on-page (page 5, small inset panel): hand-to-face, eyes wide, murmuring ‘help…’ / ‘Luffy…’. The chapter installs Nami’s soft-register pre-doctrine-break beat — she is almost asking for help, in a single soft-voiced inset (audible only to the reader and the chapter’s emotional-axis tracking, not heard by Luffy on-page). The Ch. 80 Nami Never Sheds A Tear Doctrine never-asks-for-help doctrine is here rehearsed in soft register — the doctrine is cracking but not yet broken. Forward-payoff: the Ch. 93 Luffy!!! Help me!!! loud-register break is here rehearsed in soft register.
• Status at chapter close: off-stage; her soft-cry has triggered Sanji’s navigator-CRY!!!! full-mouth response (page 5). The crew is now physically arriving to fight on her behalf without her having explicitly asked.

Arlong Park (recruitment-pivot chapter — HELP + straw-hat-handoff + tattoo-stab) (Ch. 81) — Breaks the eight-year never-asks-for-help doctrine; rejects the Arlong brand via self-harm; receives Luffy’s straw hat as protection-token

• At Arlong Park during the trap-deal reveal (pages 3-4): receives Arlong’s “a deal’s a deal. …It’s only 100 million berries” reneging speech; cries “You cheat!!!” (page 3). Strikes Arlong (page 4, WHAK!!) when he taunts “Finally running away!?”. The Ch. 80 I-never-break-a-promise doctrine is here exposed as performance — Arlong stays technically compliant while having his Marine ally rob her.
• Tries to restrain Genzo and the villagers from doomed armed resistance (pages 5-10): “That would be the end of everything!!! Don’t throw away your lives!!! Don’t do it!!! Mr. Genzo! Everyone!! Please!!! Or it will all have been for nothing!!! You’ve got to stay alive!!” Pleads with one last gambit (page 8): “Wait just a little longer!!! I’m going to try again!!! Just give me one more chance!!! It’ll be easy this time…” — clinging to the buyback contract that has just been revealed as a trap.
• Released from her contract-burden by Genzo (page 9): “You’ve done enough! You can’t carry the burden for the whole village anymore!” Released by Nojiko (page 9): “And you have dreams!! You’re strong and cunning!!” The village formally releases her from her eight-year self-imposed obligation.
• Stabs her own Arlong-sun tattoo repeatedly (pages 11-12, SHUNK!! SHUNK!! SHUNK!! with “ARLONG!!! ARLONG!!!! ARLONG!!!”). The Ch. 79 Arlong-pirates sun-tattoo brand is operationally rejected via self-harm — the brand is being excised by force. The chapter’s most visceral image. Luffy catches her wrist mid-stab (page 12, WAP…!!!): “LUFFY!!”
• Shoves Luffy and tells him to leave (page 13): “You don’t know anything!!! What are you doing!? I told you!! Leave this island!!! This has nothing to do with you!!” Luffy is silent (“Yeah, you told me.”).
• Asks for help for the first time in eight years (page 14, full-page close-up: “HELP…”). The Ch. 80 Nami Never Sheds A Tear Doctrine never-asks-for-help half is broken in a single softly-whispered word. The chapter commits a whole page to a single bubble — Oda’s emotional-summit composition.
• Receives Luffy’s straw hat on her head (page 14, SHWING / THWOMP / WHAP): Luffy removes his hat and places it on her head as a wordless protection-vow. The Ch. 1 Hat Handoff Promise register is re-deployed as Luffy-to-Nami stewardship.
• Status at chapter close: at Cocoyasi street, wearing Luffy’s straw hat, after Luffy’s full-page “OKAY!!!!!” commitment. The Ch. 80-81 recruitment-pivot is structurally complete; the arc-combat-resolution is now the only remaining open beat.

Arlong Park (recruitment-acceptance) (Ch. 88) — Stated intent to kill Arlong on-page; declares “fight and die WITH ME”; recruitment-acceptance moment

• Arrives at Arlong Park (page 10, DO ZOOOMM slam-sandals approach). Hailed by villagers (‘Nami…’ / ‘Sister Nami…’). Declares stated intent to kill Arlong to his face (‘I’ve come… to kill you!!!’).
• Arlong reveals her prior multiple murder-attempts (page 11) — ‘Assassins… poison… ambushes… how many times did you try to kill me? In the eight years you’ve been with us…’ The embedment was active-resistance, not passive endurance.
• Arlong delivers the second trap-deal (pages 12-13): rejoin-the-crew with Coco Village spared. Genzo (off-panel) reads the trap (‘That’s dirty!! He’s gonna keep Nami no matter what she decides!!’).
• Internal monologue at the decision-point (page 14): ‘If I say I’m Luffy and Zolo’s shipmate, everyone may get killed. But if I say I’m Arlong’s, all of the villagers will be spared!! Is it up to me to decide who lives and who dies!!? I have to believe in them!!!’
• Chooses fight-and-die-WITH-ME (page 14, full-face hero-shot under straw hat, brightest panel in chapter): ‘OKAY!!!! Fight and die… WITH ME!!! I’m sorry, everyone!!!’ The recruitment-acceptance moment.
• Status at chapter close: at Arlong Park, with the Straw Hats, formally committed crew member. Villagers cheering FIGHT FOR NAMI. Luffy underwater, Sanji going under, Zoro down, Usopp arriving.

Arlong Park (backstory-payoff + Marine raid) (Ch. 80) — Eight-year plan revealed; 99M of 100M; doctrine of no-tears installed and broken; first self-identification as pirate

• Eight-year plan canonized (pages 1-5, Nojiko’s beach narration): Nami was orphaned at age 10 by Arlong killing Bell-mère; joined Arlong’s crew as cartographer-thief; has spent 8 years stealing pirate-treasure to ransom Coco Village for 100M berries. The Ch. 8 I rob pirates, Ch. 9 100M berries for a certain village, Ch. 10 you pirates took someone dear to me, Ch. 14 thief-not-pirate, Ch. 50 Bell-mère I can’t wait to be free, Ch. 70 Arlong’s witch aggregate lands as a single eight-year strategic plan.
• 99M of 100M position (page 4 internal monologue: “now there are only 7-million berries to go… It’s a long road ahead. Still 99 million berries to go!!”). Nami is one voyage from freedom when the Marine raid happens. The chapter’s tension is hours-from-completion-then-derailed.
• First on-page tears since Ch. 50 (page 5, hands-to-head, anticipating freedom: “And then, Bell-mère…”). Pre-doctrine-installation tear-event — the chapter then installs the eight-years-no-tears doctrine (page 1: “no one has seen Nami shed a tear”) and breaks the doctrine at the chapter’s final tier (page 17: “Curse you, Arlong!!!” / PLUP PLUP). Single-chapter doctrinal whiplash — installs the doctrine in chapter that breaks it.
• First public self-identification as a pirate (page 8): “Criminal? Well, yes. I’m a pirate. I’m an officer of Arlong’s crew.” — uses pirate as shield-against-Marine-arrest (the corruption-inversion register the chapter installs). The Ch. 50 thief-not-pirate self-distinction is operationally inverted here — she is publicly pirate now.
• Marine raid on her cache (pages 6-15). Nezumi arrives at Nojiko’s house with a Marine column to confiscate Nami’s buried treasure under a thief is a thief legal cover. Nami restrains a Marine (WHAK!! page 10), confronts Nezumi with the Marine-duty-failure indictment: “ARLONG’S CREW HAS MURDERED HUNDREDS AND DESTROYED WHOLE VILLAGES!! DON’T THEY HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?” / “ARE YOU GOING TO IGNORE THOSE ATROCITIES… IS THAT HOW THE GOVERNMENT WORKS!?” (page 11). The chapter’s most-explicit Marines-fail-their-duty indictment is in Nami’s mouth.
• Realizes the village has known her plan all along (page 12, sweat-drenched close-up: ”…!? How… how did you know!!?”). The Ch. 70 Arlong’s witch reputation is canonized as village-protective theater — the village has been performing ignorance to maintain her cover.
• Confronts Arlong about the promise (pages 16-17): “WHY!!? YOU ALWAYS SAID YOU’D DIE BEFORE YOU’D BREAK YOUR PROMISE!!” Arlong publicly denies breaking it (“When did I… ever break my promise!!! Tell me!!!”). Counter-accuses Nami of sending the Navy to steal MY money. The chapter installs the Arlong-trap-deal configuration (implicit — the original promise was never going to be honored, but the chapter holds the explicit reveal off-page for the next chapters).
• Cries on-page for the first time in 8 years (page 17 final tier: “Curse you, Arlong!!!” / PLUP PLUP). The eight-years-no-tears doctrine cracks. The Luffy-observes-without-context beat (Luffy in same panel: “What’s her problem?”) pre-loads the Ch. 93 Luffy!!! Help me!!! break of the never-asks-for-help doctrine.
• Status at chapter close: at Arlong Park, crying, with Luffy on-page observing but uncomprehending. Cache-fate unknown (Marines still raiding the grove). The arc-climax is now structurally pre-loaded.

Arlong Park — central-payload flashback (Ch. 79)

• Bell-mère’s death revealed: Arlong killed Bell-mère in front of young Nami and Nojiko for failing to pay tribute (page 6). The Ch. 10 “you pirates took someone dear to me” / Ch. 50 “BELLE-MÈRE!!!” aggregate-seed lands its central payload.
• Recruitment into Arlong’s crew: at ~10, Nami’s hand-drawn ocean charts impressed Arlong (page 7); Hachi borrowed her (page 8); Nami chose to publicly declare joining Arlong’s crew (page 14) to protect the village from being killed in a doomed assault.
• Arlong sun-tattoo on left upper arm (page 15) — visible-on-skin proof of crew-membership. Pre-loads the eventual tattoo-as-burden-to-be-removed arc-climax.
• Public denial of Bell-mère as her mother (page 17) — Genzo, in shadow, declares: “She doesn’t even consider Belle-mère to be her mother!!!” — structurally a village-staged lie. Nami’s running-away tears: “What stupidity…”
• Cover-story protocol installed: Nami’s Coco Village witch reputation is village-staged, not genuine. Genzo (informed-of-the-plan) and Nami (executing-the-plan) are co-conspirators; Nojiko (un-informed) is the chapter’s emotional-pivot character.
• Survival-credential: Nami’s cartography skill is why she lives, not just what she does — Arlong recognized the chart-quality and kept her alive on utility-grounds. Her Grand-Line-cartographer arc-goal is retro-grounded in the childhood-survival-skill register.

Arlong Park — Bell-mère flashback (Ch. 78)

• First on-page appearance as a child (page 5+). Tied-up hair with bandanna, plaid + overalls (mirrors Bell-mère’s outfit). The flashback chapter establishes her origin: foundling-adopted by Bell-mère, raised in Coco Village’s outskirts with Nojiko as adoptive step-sister.
• Bell-mère’s death witnessed firsthand (page 16). The chapter shows the traumatic memory underlying every prior I hate pirates tell. Nami’s I wish I’d been found by rich people anguished outburst (page 16) is the line she will spend the next ~70+ years regretting — Bell-mère takes the line as a final cry of love (“They’re as much mine as if I gave birth to them!!”) rather than a rejection.
• First articulation of the world-map dream (page 17, final panel): “You have to see my world map when I draw it!!!” — delivered as a death-bed promise to dying Bell-mère. The chapter installs Nami’s cartographer-of-the-whole-world lifelong dream as the central promise of her life. Every Nami-as-navigator beat across the series traces structurally to this line.
• Origin canonization: Nami is now confirmed as a foundling adopted by an ex-Marine soldier mother who died protecting her. Bell-mère’s per-monthly-tax structural opening (records show no children) gave Bell-mère a survival-path she refused. Nami’s character is built on this unconditional-claim-by-a-non-blood-mother foundation.

Arlong Park (flashback) (Ch. 77) — Childhood flashback at age 8; world-map dream debut; book-thief origin; learns battlefield-adoption truth

• Present-day frame: asleep at Nojiko’s house (page 2); wakes alone, calls for Nojiko, gazes at the tangerine basket, enters memory-flashback (page 4 — ’…Belle-mère. Soon… and my dream. Coco Village… the tangerine groves… soon it will all return.’).
• Childhood Nami on-page, age 8 (title-card ‘NAMI (8 YEARS AGO)’ page 5). Striped tank top, headband, smaller hair-bun. The chapter installs Nami’s eight-year-old register: precocious, hot-tempered, dream-articulate, food-grateful but money-resentful.
• Book-thief origin (pages 5-7). Steals a navigation textbook from Coco Village’s bookstore; chased by Genzo. The adult cat-burglar Nami identity has a poverty-driven child-thief origin. Bell-mère’s countervailing instruction ‘WE DO NOT STEAL!!’ (page 8) is the moral inheritance Nami inverts when she adopts the steal-only-from-pirates code as a survival-adaptation later.
• World-map dream debut (page 9). ‘Someday I’m gonna navigate my way all around the seas. And when I’ve seen everything with my own eyes, I’m gonna make a map of the whole world!!’ — Nami’s life-dream canonized. The Ch. 8 ‘I rob pirates’ MO and the Ch. 77 ‘make a map of the whole world’ dream are now the same backstory: she stole the navigation textbook to learn cartography.
• Chapter title is Bell-mère’s response to Nami’s dream: ‘Then this map of the island you drew today is the first step toward your dream!!’ (page 9) — ‘The First Step Toward a Dream’.
• Emotional outburst against the family: ‘WE’RE NOT EVEN REAL SISTERS!! WE’RE NOT RELATED BY BLOOD!!’ (page 11, to Nojiko); ‘I WISH I’D BEEN FOUND BY RICH PEOPLE!!!’ (page 12, to Bell-mère). The chapter installs Nami’s childhood association of wealth with freedom and family-relief — the adult Nami who robs pirates and demands 100M berries operates on the same childhood doctrine.
• Runaway scene (pages 13-14). Runs from the outskirts to the center of Coco Village, ends up at Genzo’s. ‘We’re the reason she’s so poor… Belle-mère would be happier without us.’ (page 15). The chapter’s Nami-blames-herself-for-the-poverty register installed.
• Learns battlefield-adoption truth from Genzo (pages 15-17). Page 16: ‘ME?! But I thought I was found under a bridge…’ — Nami believed a different adoption story her whole life. Genzo tells her: ‘You were just a baby, and Nojiko was three years old.’ / ‘When Nojiko came along, carrying you… She was about to close her eyes and die… So she decided to live.’ The chapter installs the truth Bell-mère, Nojiko, and Genzo collectively withheld from Nami her whole life.
• Hears Genzo’s bond deeper than blood line (page 17 final). The chapter installs the doctrine Nami’s adult moral universe operates against — the bond-deeper-than-blood counter to I-wish-I’d-been-found-by-rich-people.
• Implied flashback-frame return: the chapter ends with Bell-mère arriving at Genzo’s to collect Nami; her present-day register implies the flashback continues into the Ch. 78+ continuation.

Arlong Park — witch-mode performance + treasure-map tell (Ch. 76)

• First time Nami speaks in Arlong-officer register first-person to the Straw Hats (pages 2-7). “I only pretended to be your friend to get my hands on your loot!!! Now you’re broke, so our friendship is finished!!!” The Ch. 69 cell-box Officer Nami reveal becomes a spoken-by-Nami performance.
• First time Nami uses combat-grade force on a Straw Hat (page 7) — strikes Luffy with her bo staff (THWUMP…!!!). Luffy doesn’t fight back. The composition pre-stages the Ch. 95 I-cannot-kill-you breakdown.
• Saved Usopp’s life via the Ch. 75 staged-stab (page 11 retroactive flashback bubbles: “It’s business. I had no choice.”). Confirms Nami operates inside Arlong’s crew for the Straw Hats’ protection — the witch-mode is operational-cover, not character-truth.
• Treasure-map-tell (page 15): Nami sits at her kitchen table staring at a treasure map — cartographer-with-maps-she-cannot-use composition. Nojiko: “Why are you staring at that treasure map?” Pre-loads Ch. 95 sail-out-to-map-the-world payoff.
• Opens up to Nojiko, falls asleep mid-recount (pages 15-16). The can’t-talk-about-it-in-witch-mode-but-can-with-Nojiko register installs Nojiko as confidante. Nami: “His story struck me as a little… colorful.”
• Arlong-pirates branding visible on her left upper arm (page 16) — sun-mark with pin-wheel arms tattoo in foreground.

Arlong Park (Marine-engagement chapter — named-as-killer) (Ch. 75) — Reported by Yosaku as Usopp’s killer; chapter immediately contradicts the report

• Off-page; named as Usopp’s killer (page 7 — Yosaku: ‘BROTHER USOPP’S BEEN KILLED!!! BY SISTER NAMI!!!’). The chapter installs the Nami-killed-Usopp report and immediately contradicts it via the no-sign-of-battle observation. The chapter holds the Nami-staged-the-killing-as-cover-for-Usopp counter-current off-page; the Ch. 69 Officer Nami reveal is here structurally complicated — Nami is operationally on Arlong’s side AND secretly protecting Usopp from Arlong’s crew. The two-facts-of-one-person tension from Ch. 70 holds across this chapter as well.

Arlong Park (operational-villain-performance) (Ch. 74) — Names the 100M-berry buyback contract; fake-kills Usopp as loyalty-cover; secret-treasure-map exposed; eight-year time-depth named; combat with bo-staff first deployed

• First chapter where Nami operates fully on-page in her Arlong-side identity. Heaviest screen-time chapter so far in the series for the character.
• Names the 100M-berry buyback contract for Coco Village on-page (page 15): “I joined this crew for one reason! … This is just business… to earn 100 million berries… and buy Coco Village back from you.” The Ch. 9 100M-for-a-certain-village aspirational seed becomes a named bilateral contract with all four terms (buyer, price, seller, object) on-page.
• Quantifies the contract’s time-depth as eight years (page 9): “you guys are about to ruin eight years of work.” Nami began the contract as a child.
• Performs the Luffy was stupid to trust me / The only thing I believe in is money speech (pages 4-5) — public-villainy performance for Arlong’s benefit. The audience-aware-villainy-performance register is the new layer the chapter installs.
• Fake-kills Usopp (pages 10-15) — THWACK with bo-staff, SHLUK blade-strike (off-panel), FWUMP to dock, SPLASH into sea. “I had no choice. It’s business.” (page 13). The chapter’s central trauma-beat for Usopp and reader; resolves next chapter as faked.
• First on-page combat against a Straw Hat-tier target (pages 11-12): single-strike THWACK with a long bo-staff at full-speed Usopp dodging through smoke. The bo-staff prop-tell that pre-loads her future Clima-Tact weapon. Nami’s combat-effectiveness baseline installed.
• Secret treasure map exposed (pages 16-17). Arlong: “That is, until I found THIS in your room.” — old weathered map with X on Coco Village. Implies Nami has been doing off-contract treasure-hunting as a secret-second-layer escape vector. The robbing-pirates-code operates two-layered: contract for Arlong + secret for herself.
• Demands Arlong honor the deal (page 17): “You won’t go back on our deal, will you?” — gets the I’d slit my belly before I’d break a promise promise back. The chapter installs Nami’s eight-year-trust-in-the-promise state.
• Chapter title Business is delivered three times in Nami’s mouth (pages 4-5, 13, 15) as the euphemism for both the killing-of-a-friend and the eight-year-compliance-with-Arlong. Chapter-title-as-character-self-naming in betrayal-register — inverts Ch. 70 Usopp’s aspiration-register self-naming.
• Arlong’s family awareness on-page (page 16): “You betrayed your fellow villagers. You betrayed your family.” — the villain’s knowledge of Nami’s family-leverage is named.

Arlong Park (Arlong-Pirates internal suspicion of Nami) (Ch. 73)

• Off-page through chapter; suspected by Arlong’s own crew of treachery (page 17): “NAMI’S ATTITUDE WAS STRANGE TODAY” / “SHE DID SAVE ZOLO WHEN HE JUMPED IN THE WATER!!” / “MAYBE NAMI SMUGGLED HIM IN HERE…” The Ch. 70-72 Nami-as-Arlong’s-witch Coco-Village-side register is now internally questioned by the Arlong Pirates themselves.
• The chapter installs three reputations on Nami: Straw-Hat-side recruit, Coco-Village-side witch, Arlong-Pirates-side suspected-traitor. The arc’s resolution will collapse this onto Coco-Village-side all along.

Baratie (SBS paratext) (Ch. 65) — Off-page; SBS-canonized as #3 IQ character in the series (page 18)

Arlong Park (opener — named but off-page) (Ch. 70) — Operationally on Arlong’s crew; named seven times across three hostile/intimate registers; step-sister introduced; childhood home shown; un-free state sourced

• Off-page through the chapter but named ten+ times in three different registers: as the woman Usopp is looking for (page 17 — Usopp: “I’M LOOKING FOR A WOMAN NAMED NAMI.”); as the witch (Chabo page 16: “one of Arlong’s crew, a lady… like a witch”; Nojiko page 18: “this is the house where that witch grew up!”); as Nojiko’s step-sister (Nojiko page 18: “Nami is my step-sister.”). First chapter where Nami is the on-page subject of three registers without being on-page herself — a structural-absence chapter that uses her absence as compositional weight.
• Operationally confirmed as Arlong’s crew (page 16, page 18). The Ch. 50 I can’t wait to be free (un-free state) seed sources here: Nami works for Arlong, against her will. The why (Bell-mère, 100M ransom, cartographer-slave) is held off-page for the flashback chapters; the that (Nami is on the Arlong-side) is on-page in two independent confirmations.
• Step-sister Nojiko revealed; childhood home shown (page 14 establishing-shot, page 18 “this is the house where that witch grew up”). The Ch. 50 belle-mère etymology operationally vindicates — Nami’s family is a step-family.
• Coco Village named as Nami’s home region (page 4: “It’s near Coco Village.”; page 14: OUTSKIRTS OF COCO VILLAGE). The Ch. 9 certain village lands its proper noun.
• The Going Merry’s anchorage in Arlong’s waters (page 4) confirms the Ch. 49-50 ship-theft was about returning to her base of operations, not about keeping the ship. The flight-from-the-crew was actually a flight-back-to-the-real-captain in inverted register.
• Reputation: famous as Arlong’s witch in the Coco Village region (page 18: “She’s famous in these parts.”). The Ch. 8 “I rob pirates” self-introduction is locally inverted — her own region knows her as Arlong’s enforcer. The chapter holds two contradictory reputations for the same character as the arc’s foundational tension.

Arlong Park (interior install — Surveyor role named; on-page performance-vs-truth at peak density; pool-dive rescue of Zoro) (Ch. 71)

• Named role within Arlong’s crew: SURVEYOR / cartographer-officer (Ch. 71 page 7 — Arlong: “You’re my talented and esteemed Surveyor, the pride of my crew. Your maps are the best!!”). The Ch. 69 Officer Nami cell-box reveal is here role-specified. The cartographer-slave hypothesis (pre-loaded by every Nami-as-mapmaker-tell from Ch. 8 onward) lands its on-page operational name. Forward: the Arlong-arc flashback (Ch. 77+) will reveal the 8-year buyback-contract under which Nami works as Arlong’s surveyor.
• Self-confirms Arlong-Pirates membership (Ch. 71 page 8 — Nami: “That’s right. I’m an officer in Arlong’s pirate crew. Surprised? I was a pirate all along.”). The performance-vs-truth grammar is at peak density — operationally true AND emotionally false (she is trying to make Zoro leave, not converted). The Ch. 69 cell-box reveal is here self-spoken for the first time.
• Performs the cold-blooded identity to drive Zoro away (Ch. 71 pages 7-10) — sick of the stupid theory, smug at they back me up, then trips Zoro into the pool (page 10, TUMP…! / SPLOOSH!!) when he refuses to leave. The chapter’s central performance-vs-truth panel.
• Dives in to save Zoro (Ch. 71 page 11 — KLAK KLAK sandals running, “That idiot…”, SPLASH…! — over Arlong’s “Let him drown!!”). The act is un-villain-readable to the fishmen (who can’t parse a human jumping into water to save another human). The chapter’s she-still-cares tell at maximum visibility — she breaks character to save the crewmate she just betrayed.
• Orders Zoro jailed: “I’ll deal with him” (Ch. 71 page 14). The I’ll deal with him line is the protective-management tell — she’s putting Zoro under her own management, not the crew’s.
• Alarmed when Arlong heads to Coco Village to investigate Usopp rumor (Ch. 71 page 14, alarm-close-up ”…!”). She knows what Arlong does to villages that harbor threats.
• Cow-spot-print top continues from Ch. 69 (Ch. 71 pages 6-14). Costume consistency across the arc-opener three-chapter sequence.
• Arlong canonizes Bell-mère death about her in oblique register (Ch. 71 page 9 — Arlong: “That one even forgave the death of a parent for money. She’s our cold-blooded witch woman!!”). The Ch. 50 belle-mère name + Ch. 70 step-sister/orphans reveal extends here to parent-death + blood-money payment canonized by the villain. Nami silent through the line.
• Status at chapter close: alive, off-page (Arlong has left her at Arlong Park), Zoro under her I’ll deal with him management, Arlong returning to Coco Village with implicit threat that Nami knows the village will be punished.

Arlong Park (opening) (Ch. 69) — Officer Nami of Arlong’s Pirate Crew reveal; chapter’s seismic cliffhanger

• Officer Nami — Arlong’s Pirate Crew (page 17 cell-box reveal). The Ch. 49 thief-departure and Ch. 50 Bell-mère cry are here structurally re-contextualized: Nami is operationally embedded in the racist fish-man crew oppressing her village. Every prior Nami-tell is retroactively reframed in a single panel.
• First appearance at Arlong Park’s East Gate (page 16-17). Calmly faces the kitchen-knife-brandishing Cocoyasi child. She holds his chin gently — the she-still-cares-about-Cocoyasi-villagers tell is composed before the Arlong-Pirates Officer Nami reveal — pre-loading the Nami is conflicted, not converted arc-frame.
• Greeted as comrade by Arlong (page 17): “Comrades!! One of our own has returned!!! Prepare a feast!!! Tuuuuuna tonight!!!” The chapter ends with Nami arriving at the Arlong-Pirates’ celebration. The welcomed-back-as-officer register is the chapter’s most-load-bearing setup for the Ch. 71-77 arc-opening how-can-this-be unwinding.
• Implied off-screen for the chapter’s first 11 pages. The Yosaku-Johnny exposition (pages 4-8) and the Nezumi-bribery scene (pages 12-15) place her at-the-park-the-whole-time. The chapter’s structure splices Nami’s destination (Arlong Park) with Nami’s arrival (page 17) — the reveal-mechanism is the chapter-as-Arlong-Park-introduction doubling as Nami-as-Arlong-Park-resident-reveal.
• Connect to Nami Backstory and Bell-mere: villain-identified installment.

Baratie (opening — interim arc) (Ch. 50) — Steals the Going Merry; chapter’s emotional protagonist; Bell-mère named on-page

• Steals the Going Merry (pages 5-9). Tricks Yosaku, Johnny, Luffy, Usopp into looking away (“I want to change clothes!” — page 4) and shoves the three boys off the deck (“KER-PLASH!” — page 5). Sails the Merry off (page 6, panel 5). The Ch. 41 Kaya-gift is taken by the navigator nine chapters after receipt.
• Chapter-thesis monologue (page 6, panels 1-3): “This ship’s my prize! My job, dummies. I rob pirates! I never swore allegiance to Luffy. It was a temporary partnership! And your treasure was irresistible! …But I sure had fun! I wasn’t with Luffy and Zolo for very long…” — the Ch. 14 conditional-alliance clause is operationally honored; the verbal-denial-vs-acted-alignment gap (Ch. 16) closes from the denial side — act and statement agree for the first time since the Buggy-Pirates infiltration arc. The closure is temporary: the Arlong-arc reveal will re-open the gap by exposing the why makes the stated alignment internally false.
• Bell-mère named on-page for the first time (page 19, panel 4): “BELLE-MÈRE!!! I can’t wait to be free…” — interior monologue, alone on the Merry’s deck, crying. First on-page utterance of the name across all 50 chapters. The Ch. 10 “You pirates took someone dear to me” receives a name, ~28 chapters before the Arlong-arc flashback. Cross-link Nami Backstory and Bell-mere — name-confirmed installment-payoff.
• “I can’t wait to be free” (page 19, panel 4) — first on-page statement of the un-free state. The 100M-berries village-buyback goal (Nami Tangerine Village) is now coupled to a freedom motive, not a wealth motive. The wealth is the instrument, not the end.
• Compositional contrast across the chapter: page 6 smiling-and-claiming-the-prize vs page 19 crying-and-naming-the-grief. The chapter is structurally a single-character-double-portrait: Nami-as-thief and Nami-as-grieving-daughter shown in the same chapter. The reader is given both the role and the wound in one chapter.
• Self-exile stage installed in the recruitment runway. The Ch. 14 interim → Ch. 50 self-exile → Arlong-arc full-commit three-stage shape is now confirmed. The captain pursues (page 8: “No! Nami’s going to be our navigator… AND NOBODY ELSE!!!”) without coercing.
• First chapter Nami operates solo on the Merry. Pre-loads the Nami-as-sole-navigator-of-the-ship shots that recur whenever the crew is separated.
• Reads Mihawk’s bounty on the bounty list before the chapter cuts to Yosaku/Johnny’s warning (page 3, panel 4) — the thief-eyes-the-mark compositional beat; Nami marks Mihawk as future-target in a single panel, before the chapter’s reveal that Mihawk is on the other side of the dread-build.

Baratie (Ch. 49) — Steals the Going Merry and all the treasure; solo departure; cover-story Marine-seagull beat

• Steals the Going Merry and all the treasure (pages 17-18). First on-page solo Nami departure from the crew. Composition on the departure-panel: winking, V-fingers, tongue out, blowing a kiss — playfully herself, not guiltily-betraying. Yosaku reports: “She sailed off with all the treasure!!!!” (page 18). Motive not stated. Cross-link Nami Robbing Pirates Code (the robbing-pirates code acted at arc-pivot scale) and Nami Backstory and Bell-mere (the Arlong-arc-deadline implicit in the suddenly-now timing).
• Cover splash (page 1) — Nami’s solo cover-story continues. Composition: Nami laughing on grass, hugged from behind by a giant Marine-coded seagull (white plumage, MARINE-banded sailor cap, blue neckerchief). Red mailbox on a post nearby. The Marine-bird-companion composition is a long-burn forward-tell for the news-reading navigator role and the Marine messenger-bird visual register. See Nami Snake Cover Story.
• No on-page presence in the Baratie interior — Nami is absent from every dining-room panel; the chapter reveals (page 18) she was on the Going Merry the entire time. The composition rule from Ch. 22 (Zoro structurally absent during a non-recruit chapter) is re-applied here in inverse: Nami is structurally absent because she is de-recruiting.

Baratie (Ch. 45) — Object of Sanji’s first lovesick reaction; dining at the Baratie with Zoro and Usopp; uninterested-bystander register established

Baratie (Ch. 44) — Splash-only appearance; off-page during Baratie scenes

Baratie (Ch. 43) — Lone composed Straw Hat at Baratie reveal; flips through Johnny’s wanted-posters (bounty-tracking pattern begins); suggests crew dine at the Baratie

Syrup Village → Baratie transition (Ch. 42) — Diagnoses and cures Yosaku’s scurvy; first on-page seafaring-medicine knowledge; named “like a doctor” by Luffy; objects to Luffy’s musician proposal

• Diagnoses Yosaku’s scurvy on sight (page 14: “DON’T BE STUPID!!” — the audience-misread shout that turns into a medical-treatment order; “LUFFY! USOPP! THERE ARE LIMES IN THE GALLEY! SQUEEZE SOME AND BRING ME THE JUICE!”) — first on-page deployment of Nami’s seafaring-knowledge generalist register. The chapter installs Nami as the crew’s de facto medic until a real doctor joins.
• Delivers the scurvy historical-context monologue (page 15): “It’s simply caused by poor nutrition. Fruits and vegetables rot on long voyages… A generation ago, scurvy was the bane of sailors.” The monologue installs the fruit-and-vegetable-rot-on-long-voyages constraint as world-building texture — and as the in-text justification for the cook-slot being a survival necessity (page 18 — Luffy: “What good is a ship without decent grub?”).
• Named “like a doctor” by Luffy (page 15) and “a brilliant woman” by Usopp — first non-sarcastic external praise of Nami’s knowledge-base in the series. The recruitment-pattern’s acted alignment leads stated alignment gap (canonised Ch 16) is now extended to acted expertise leads stated humility — Nami performs the medical intervention without preamble, then the crew names the expertise.
• Objects to Luffy’s musician proposal (page 7) — “I thought you were going to say something smart for once!!” — sustains the crew-vetoes-captain’s-recruitment-priorities register.
• Operating as crew-functional rather than crew-adjacent — Ch 42 is the most crew-functional appearance for Nami since the Buggy arc; she is executing crew-side decisions (medical intervention, role-priority debate) rather than withholding from crew status (the Ch 14-40 interim-alliance hand-slap register). The recruitment-runway is approaching the full-commit endpoint (Arlong Park) — the Ch 42 operational-crew register is a pre-Arlong-Park check on the trajectory.
• Status at chapter close: at sea aboard the Going Merry, sailing north toward the Baratie. The crew-role extension: navigator + seafaring-knowledge generalist + de facto medic.

Syrup Village (Ch. 41) — Ch 23 arc-goal-declarer closes her own setup; immediately negotiates rigging with Merry

• The Ch 23 “acquire a proper vessel” arc-goal-declarer is on-page when the goal resolves (page 7-8). Nami’s “A CARAVEL!” (page 7) is the first to name the vessel-type — she is the technically-knowledgeable sea-going member of the crew, and she registers the gift in nautical terms first.
• Immediately starts negotiating rigging adjustments with Merry (page 8 final panel): “You’re wasting your breath with those two, talk to me.” — Nami self-installs as the crew’s technical-naval-knowledge receiver. Forward-pattern: Nami’s role on the Going Merry as the navigator who understands the ship is rooted in this single panel — Merry’s rigging-knowledge passes to Nami.
• Restaurant opening scene (page 2) — “I’ve got news for you two: Normal people don’t eat this part. Hmph. You need to work on your fish-bone-eating technique.” The first non-sarcastic crew-management beat from Nami — she is now operating as the crew’s adult without complaint.
• No restatement of the I hate pirates tell in this chapter. Notable absence — the Ch 6 / 16 / 20 / 40 pattern is paused for one chapter at the ship-acquisition beat.
• Status at chapter close: alive, on the Going Merry, sailing East Blue. The Ch 23 arc-goal-declarer has closed her own opening line.

Syrup Village (Ch. 40) — Arc-finale: catches the fainting Luffy; first non-sarcastic praise; restates pirates-tell post-victory; deflects on the village-saving

• Catches the fainting Luffy (“WUMP!”, page 6) and tells him “Good job” — first non-sarcastic praise Nami gives Luffy in the series.
• Restates the pirates-tell in post-victory mode (“They’re no good! I hate ‘em”, page 6, panel 3) — third consecutive arc with the same line; confirms the tell is structural rather than situational. Cross-link Nami Hates Pirates Tell.
• Stays with the unconscious Luffy and Zoro through the recovery scene — acted alignment continues to lead stated alignment.
• Deflects on the village-saving with “We got the treasure. Who cares about the village?” (page 12) — characteristic transactional framing.

Syrup Village (Ch. 34) — Drops chakram on Luffy; greed-as-honesty restated; bandaged but fighting

• Drops a chakram on Luffy’s head from above (chapter opening, page 2, “WOOSH!! I’LL SPLIT YOU IN TWO!!”) — not realizing he was Luffy. The Ch 33 cliffhanger (Nami body-slamming onto sleeping Luffy under Jango’s swinging chakram) is resolved by Nami acquiring and throwing the chakram herself — she lands the cliffhanger’s swing on Luffy from the crew-side, not the villain-side. The rescue-via-blunt-impact register continues from Ch 33’s body-slam to wake.
• Greed-as-honesty restated as her stable character beat (page 8): “This is one fight we GOTTA win!! There’s a lot of treasure on the line!!” — Luffy’s “Same old Nami” response labels the greed-as-honesty register as her recognized steady-state identity. The chapter formally reads her bandit-mode as recognizable, not as a costume. Reinforces Nami Robbing Pirates Code.
• Bandaged shoulder visible (pages 7-8) — she has been taking damage in the off-page Syrup Village fight before this chapter’s events. The Ch 33 fight-injuries continue on-page into Ch 34 as carried wounds; first chapter where Nami visibly carries combat injuries from a previous chapter.
• Continues operating as crew-adjacent but not yet formally crew — fights at Luffy’s side but for treasure-stated reasons; the actual reason (she’s there because Luffy is there) remains the chapter’s quiet read. The Ch 14 interim-alliance hand-slap → Ch 21 narrator-affirmation → Arlong Park full-commit recruitment-runway continues, with the verbal-denial-vs-acted-alignment gap held intact.
• Reaction-character to Kaya’s pistol-draw (page 15) — visible in the five reaction panels following Kaya’s KLIK hammer-cock. Nami is composed in-frame as part of the witnesses-to-the-victim’s-armed-resistance tableau, alongside Jango, Usopp, Kuro, Luffy, and the Meowban Brothers.

Syrup Village (Ch. 33) — Throws swords back, targeted by Jango, races to wake Luffy

• On-page with the Luffy faction at the Black Cat Pirates’ landing beach. Continuous on-page presence since the Buggy arc — the recruitment-pattern’s conditional ally phase continues into Ch 33 even as the act-as-crew-before-declaring shape from Ch 32 firms up further.
• Throws Zoro’s three katanas back to him (page 12). She had Zoro’s swords with her at chapter open (she had kicked them aside in a prior beat, off-panel before chapter); pitches them through the air in a fan-spread, Zoro catches them mid-stride with a ‘CHAK CHAK CHAK’ SFX. The chapter’s sword-handoff ritual completes the Ch 29 Nami-wields-Zoro’s-swords → Ch 31 Siam-disarms-Zoro → Ch 32 Sham-strips-Zoro → Ch 33 Nami-returns-them arc-long sequence. The composition mirrors Ch 6’s iconic three-sword-recovery panel (where Luffy hands Zoro his swords back) — Nami now functions in the same captain-slot role-shape for the sword-handoff, a crew-side gesture with no transactional cover. Reinforces Zoro Three Swords Treasure.
• Mutual-respect tone-gag with Zoro (page 12): Nami: ‘What? No “thank you”?’ / Zoro: ’…Yes…’ / ‘Thanks!!’ — small on-page beat of crew-bond between two characters who are operationally crewmates but not yet nominally so. Continues the Ch 32 crewmate-acting-as-crewmate-before-declaring register.
• Confirms via interior monologue that Jango has hypnotised Luffy in a prior chapter (page 18): ‘Oh boy! Hypnotism again!! Just like him to sleep through a major crisis!! Now’s my chance!! If I can just wake Luffy up!!’ The audience-proxy narration role continues — Nami articulates for the reader what the chapter’s Luffy-asleep premise means. The Jango-as-hypnotist power-set is now operationally confirmed by Nami’s voice (the Oh-boy-hypnotism-again phrasing implies prior on-page hypnosis — Nami has seen this before).
• Targeted by Jango’s chakram-on-a-string (page 19, ‘Die!!’ / ‘Now what are you up to, you meddling wench?’). Runs through the swing and body-slams onto the sleeping Luffy (‘SPLONK!!’ / ‘WAKE UP!!!’ / ‘OOF!!’ from Luffy). The Ch 32 Nami-charges-contested-ground-for-the-crew’s-gear beat (where she charged into combat to bring Zoro his swords and was knocked down by Jango’s chakram) is reasserted — Ch 33’s Nami runs the same play, this time aimed at waking the captain rather than re-arming the swordsman. The risk-her-body-for-the-crew-with-no-transactional-cover pattern is now operational on two different rescue-vectors in two consecutive chapters.
• Continues the crew member emotionally but not nominally posture from Ch. 16 — actively fighting for Luffy without having committed to crew membership, reinforcing the verbal-denial-vs-acted-alignment gap that Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern tracks. Cross-arc-pattern is now firm: Nami’s recruitment grammar has a long demonstrate-membership-before-declaring phase (Ch. 14 interim hand-slap → Ch. 21 narrator-affirmation → Arlong Park full commit), and the act-of-loyalty-with-the-captain-out-of-frame sub-pattern is locked in across Chs. 29-33.
• Status at chapter end: in motion, gasping, body-slammed onto Luffy with Jango’s chakram still swinging from above-frame. Chapter cliffhangs mid-rescue.

Syrup Village (Ch. 32)

• Watches the Zoro-vs-Meowban-Brothers fight from cover with Usopp — narrates the chapter’s inciting beat to the reader (“Nuts! He swiped Zolo’s swords!!” page 2). The audience-proxy register continues from Ch 31.
• Charges contested ground to bring Zoro his discarded katanas (page 16, “TMP TMP TMP TMP TMP”) — “If I can get them to him, he’ll fix those freaks!” First on-page beat of Nami acting like a crewmate before formally declaring crew membership — she risks her body for a crewmate’s gear with no transactional cover. Companion to Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern (the acts-as-crewmate-before-declaring pattern continues from her Ch 20-21 thief-not-pirate beats).
• Intercepted by Jango with a thrown chakram (page 17, “SHINK!! … FWUMP”) — “No swords for you!” Knocked down before the rescue plan lands. The chapter’s plan-foiled beat.
• Reframes Usopp’s friendly-fire as deliberate bravery (page 15): “Maybe HE saved US!” / “On purpose!?” / “Tried to get hit on purpose!!” — first instance of what becomes the Usopp tonal convention: incompetent or cowardly acts reframed by allies as deliberate bravery, until the reframe becomes the truth. See Usopp Friendly Fire Reframed as Bravery.

Syrup Village (Ch. 31)

• On the beach with Zoro through the chapter’s second half. Reaction-character for the Meowban Brothers’ arrival and the Siam sword-theft; does not act in combat.
• First on-page articulation of the Black Cat Pirates’ animal theme by an outside observer: “Amazing, they jumped from that high deck!! Like cats!” (page 15) — the cat motif of the antagonist crew is registered through Nami’s audience-proxy reaction. Cross-link Meowban Brothers Cat Coded Officers.
• Calls out the sword-theft: “ZOLO!! Your swords!!” / “He’s not really a coward!?” (page 19). First on-page Nami line that uses Zoro’s name in a worried register rather than an irritated one — small character-tell that the crew-bond is calcifying.
• First post-Orange-Town beat where Nami is functionally a Straw Hat-side observer of a pirate-crew duel without being the target — she is on the same ship with Zoro and Luffy (Going-Merry-precursor) at Syrup Village beach.
• SBS Vol 4 cameo (SBS Volume 4): Oda runs a faux-in-character exchange with Nami about her measurements (“My measurements? Really?” / ”…D-Dang it! Foiled!!”) on the chapter’s page 20 SBS bonus. The Oda-as-character-in-his-own-SBS-with-Nami device is calibrated here.

Syrup Village (Ch. 30)

• Reads Django’s hypnotism mechanism in real time (“He’s trying to make them believe they’re getting stronger” — page 6).
• Gasps the chapter’s title-line subtext when the hypnotism actually works (“They were exhausted a moment ago!!” — page 8).
• Names the “hypnosis wasn’t even aimed at him!!” targeting failure when Luffy gets hit (page 10) — the chapter’s titular backfire.
• Sits with Zoro tending to Luffy in the post-fight wind-down (page 17).

Syrup Village (Ch. 29)

• Wields Zoro’s three swords (pp. 6-7, 14-15) — stripped Zoro of his swords before greasing the approach slope; uses them to clobber Django mid-hypnosis-trigger (“DON’T SAY FOOLISH THINGS, BUSTER!!” — p. 6). First instance of a non-Zoro Straw Hat wielding the three-sword kit in combat. See Nami Steals Zoros Swords.
• Pre-engineered the battlefield — greased the slope (Zoro p. 10: “It’s just an oily hill!!”) so the Black Cat charge bogs down; the engineering happened off-panel before chapter open. Confirms her strategic-operator role.
• Identifies the hypnosis mechanism for Usopp (p. 7): “He’s a hypnotist!” / “I forgot to tell you, but don’t look at that guy’s ring when he starts counting!” — implies off-panel prior Django knowledge.
• Operates captain-less for the first time — Luffy is lost in the woods (p. 8), Zoro is marooned downhill, and the chapter spends 13 pages on a fight Nami carries with Usopp. The captain-substitute capacity is established.
• Pirate-robber MO restated in non-Buggy-arc context (p. 7): “The treasure on that ship is MINE!! And I’m not giving up one berry of it!!! Hang on to it for me, because I’m coming for it!!” — confirms the Ch. 20 “MINE, MINE, MINE!!” line is a character-grammar, not an arc-specific tic. Pays back into Nami Robbing Pirates Code and Nami Hates Pirates Tell.
• Calls Usopp a “dummy” for throwing the caltrops where they’d also block their retreat (p. 13) — the deflect-via-insult interpersonal pattern (Ch. 13 “I was hoping that lion would eat you”) extends to a non-Luffy crew member for the first time. The grammar is now generalized.

Syrup Village (Ch. 28)

• The crew-role triad (page 5): self-introduces with “I steal.” — single-verb identity statement completing the “I steal / I stretch / I cut” crew-role-summary panel. The minimal grammar of Nami’s identity at this point in the series. See Crew Role Verb Triad.
• Breaks off mid-rescue for the treasure (page 16): “They’ll take our treasure!!” — Nami’s first instinct when the village-defence plan breaks is to retrieve the boats and loot, not stay with the team. Reaffirms the Ch 20 thief-not-hero code across an arc boundary. The trait is sustained operational behaviour, not arc-specific. Cross-link Nami Robbing Pirates Code and Nami Hates Pirates Tell.
• Slips on the team’s own oil slick (page 17): the Chekhov gun she warned about on page 12 (“It’d be pretty dumb to get caught in our own trap!”) fires on her first. Comic-relief beat but also the practical setup that gets Zoro to her rescue.
• First voiced thanks to “Zolo” (page 17): Nami pronounces Zoro’s VIZ-localised name on-page for the first time in friendly register: “Thanks, Zolo!! Sorry, Zolo!!”

Syrup Village (Ch. 27)

• The chapter’s clear-eyed operator. She is the one who correctly reads Usopp’s pirate-warning behavior, charitably reads his lying-to-protect-his-crew gambit (“You’ve got a noble heart!” page 21), and immediately monetizes the resolution (“I’m telling you now, the treasure’s all mine!” page 21).
• Her thief-not-pirate code (established Ch. 10, codified Ch. 20) is operating consistently — she’s allying with Luffy to defend Syrup Village while naming her treasure cut up front. The code is now operating in every recruit-arc, not just the Buggy fight.

Syrup Village (Ch. 26)

• Cover splash background figure only (page 1) — visible behind Luffy in the ship-deck binoculars tableau. Does not appear in the chapter plot.

Syrup Village (Ch. 25)

• Appears in Kaya Estate confrontation tableau (page 2) as one of three Straw Hats standing at left as Klahadore lectures Usopp. Witnesses Usopp’s slap and storm-off. Light role; reaction panels only.
• Cover splash (page 1) — sits side-saddle on the giant orange-spotted fish reading a thick hardback book. The book is the chapter’s only Nami character-tell: she is studious / bookish — first cross-arc deployment of the Nami-as-cartographer-by-study trait outside her chart-room work in Ch. 9 (and her Ch. 24 solo-cover snake-coils book scene). Small visual seed for the navigator/cartographer professional-study aspect.

Syrup Village (Ch. 24)

• First solo chapter cover splash in the series (page 1). Sits cross-legged on the coils of a defeated giant rock-pattern snake in a forest clearing, reading a book, with a tiny snail (likely Den-Den Mushi prototype) at her feet. Beginning of her solo Syrup-Village cover-story arc (Oda’s standard format — Zoro got one through Orange Town; Nami gets one through Syrup Village). See Nami Snake Cover Story.
• At the restaurant table; probes the Usopp Pirates for information on where the captain went; voices the chapter’s tactical assessment of Usopp’s storytelling: “Then the girl’s spirits must not be too low.”
• Reacts with quiet horror (hand-over-mouth panel page 17) at Klahadore’s cruelty to Usopp.
• Protests Luffy’s gate-crashing approach to the mansion (“But we already decided against that idea!”) — the cautious-tactician register from Ch 17-20 is held.

Syrup Village (Ch. 23)

• Strategist-voice anchor for the chapter.
• Opens chapter with arc problem-statement: “We’re being rash… we can’t sail the Grand Line like this!” (Ch 23 p. 2).
• Declares the arc’s external goal: “Our first priority is to acquire a proper vessel.” (Ch 23 p. 3).
• Navigates the crew to Syrup Village by map (Ch 23 p. 12).
• Breaks Usopp’s “80 million men” bluff in a single panel (Ch 23 p. 15: “Liar!”) — earns Usopp’s “She’s a master of interrogation!” reaction. The bluff-breaking is Nami’s combat-mode role applied to a social situation.
• Decisively refuses Usopp’s captaincy bid (Ch 23 p. 19: “NO THANKS!”).

Gaimon Island (Ch. 22)

• First on-page navigator-role exposition: Nami draws the world map for Luffy (pages 14-15), explaining the Red Line, the two oceans, and the Grand Line as a perpendicular sea-route. The Ch.11 captain-side declarative recruitment (“She’s our new navigator!”) is now backed by actual navigator behavior — she is the one who knows the geography.
• Repairs Luffy’s straw hat (page 3): “I just sewed up the holes… and now you can’t even tell.” First Nami-and-the-hat care-action; the navigator handles the captain’s most-valued object. Pre-recruitment loyalty trait now visible at the prop level.
• Skeptic on the One Piece (page 17): “You can’t!? … You’re not seriously thinking about entering the Grand Line!?” — Nami’s pragmatist-skeptic stance toward the One Piece is restated on the doorstep of getting the geography. Pairs with her thief-not-pirate self-framing from Ch. 8/14/20.
• Sympathy beat with Gaimon (page 21): “Shut up! I’m a thief, but I’m not heartless!” — the Ch. 8 “only robs pirates” moral filter is restated with an additional clause: and won’t take from sympathetic strangers. Reinforces Nami Robbing Pirates Code.

Orange Town (Ch. 21)

Orange Town (Ch. 20)

• Co-leads the chapter alongside Luffy — chapter title is “The Way of the Thief” and Nami is the thief in question. Carries the loot bag through every scene; takes hits but does not get knocked out; physically throws Buggy’s severed lower half over a building (page 11). First chapter where she’s a combat participant rather than a getaway driver.
• Articulates her thief’s code as a professional rule (page 6): “I don’t argue with lowlife pirates! … I’d never stoop so low as to take lessons from you!! I’m a master thief, and I just stole it!!” The Ch. 10 moral self-distinction (“as bad as a pirate”) is upgraded to a trade code — thieves have a code; pirates don’t. Companion seed to Nami Robbing Pirates Code and Nami Hates Pirates Tell.
• Inner-narration restatement of the pirate-targeting MO (page 3): “Pirates are such easy prey!” — confirmed as a sustained character truth, not a one-off Ch. 8 brag.
• The “MINE, MINE, MINE!” beat (page 4) — Nami’s character-mission-statement panel restaged in thief mode. Composition mirrors her Ch. 9 page 10 “buy a certain village” declaration; same character, same head-on framing, different stated desire on the same emotional grammar.
• Tug-of-war with Buggy’s upper half (page 12) — physical contest over the loot bag. The “LET GO!” / “YOU LET GO!” exchange is the chapter’s miniature thesis on thief’s-vs-pirate’s claim to treasure.
• Receives the Grand Line map — Luffy retrieves it and the chapter resolves the MacGuffin chain by leaving the map in the navigator’s hands. Cross-link Grand Line Map MacGuffin.
• The Buggy-foot-toss feat — page 11, throws Buggy’s severed lower half over a building. First explicit Nami-vs-villain physical confrontation in the series.

Orange Town (Ch. 17)

• Publicly leaves the alliance (pp. 5-6) — “Good luck, boys! See ya!” (p. 6). Walks off-page mid-chapter. Last on-page Nami appearance in Vol. 2; she re-enters in Vol. 3.
• Conditional re-alliance offer (pp. 5-6): “But if you do get that map from Buggy… then — and only then — will I consider teaming up with you again…” — first explicit articulation of the transactional-but-redeemable framing that governs the entire Nami arc through Arlong Park. She doesn’t refuse the crew — she conditions her re-entry on a specific deliverable. The conditional-leaving is the structural template the Arlong arc will re-execute at full length.
• Points the boys at the treasure (p. 5): “That’s where they keep their treasure. That shack behind the ruins of the tavern…” — and identifies the Grand Line map as Buggy’s most likely possession. The thief’s intelligence is the parting gift; the moral self-distinction from the crew is the parting cost.
• Pointing-finger conditional pose (p. 6 top) — the same pose she will recurringly take when bargaining with Luffy throughout the series. First instance of the recruitment-bargain posture.

Orange Town (Ch. 16)

• First crew-style emotional alignment leak (p. 14): “How can you just stand there and watch your friend get killed!? Zolo’s hurt bad! How’s he supposed to fight!?” — Nami calls Zoro Luffy’s friend and demands captain-intervention. She is not yet crew (and has spent the prior chapters insisting she is not crew), but her emotional alignment is now visibly ahead of her stated alignment. Structural pattern: verbal denial vs. acted alignment. Recurs all the way through Arlong Park where the same pattern resolves into actual recruitment.
• First on-page “Nami in the reaction line” (p. 4 top tier) — composed in-frame as a Straw Hat reaction-shot triptych with Luffy and Zoro for the first time. The visual grammar of crew-as-unit precedes the verbal recruitment by ~80 chapters.
• First on-page witnessing of Zoro’s swordsmanship at full intensity — Nami sees Zoro take Cabaji apart after the self-handicap. The “what kind of pirate did I get tangled up with” reaction (“How…”, p. 15) is the seed of the navigator-as-crew-historian role she’ll occupy long-term.
• Civilian-side translation function — Nami narrates Luffy’s rubber to the local civilian (pp. 2-3: “I MEAN, you did pile-drive a lion!” / “How can you inflate yourself like a balloon!?”) — first instance of her role as the civilian-facing translator of the crew’s weirdness. Recurs in every later port-of-call (especially Drum Island, Skypiea, Water 7).

Orange Town (Ch. 15)

• Cover-page co-star — riding a giant woolly mammoth in tribal-style outfit; Luffy hanging bound from the mammoth’s tusk as cargo (calves visible at base). Volume 2 “Nami and animals” cover series continues (Ch. 10 = pig, Ch. 15 = mammoth). The inversion gag — Luffy as cargo, Nami as driver — pre-figures the East-Blue truth that Nami is the operational center of the crew even when Luffy is the captain.
• Re-states pre-recruitment transactional framing (page 11): “I’m just here for the map and the treasure!” — said with Luffy and Zoro converging on the Buggy fight beside her. Reinforces the Bell-mère/Cocoyasi-wound gating from Ch. 10: she has not yet committed to the crew despite functionally being staged in trio composition.
• First three-person Straw Hat composition shot (page 11) — staged with Luffy and Zoro in the same frame for the first time. Crucially, she is the one holding the map in the panel — the navigator slot of the crew is being filled visually by the character holding the navigation artifact, before she has agreed to join. See Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern.
• “What ARE you!?” (page 19) — first time Nami registers Luffy’s Devil-Fruit power as alien rather than as a useful tool. Same beat will recur with Sanji (“you ate the Devil Fruit?”), Usopp (“a-a rubber man!?”), and every later recruit. Template moment for the “reaction shot to Luffy’s DF on first sight” East-Blue intro pattern.
• Calls Luffy reckless (page 14): “You’re too reckless!” — first instance of the running Nami-as-crew-conscience dynamic that defines her role across every later arc.

Orange Town (Ch. 14)

• Apologizes to Luffy for yelling at him (page 6) — small gesture-beat that resolves the chapter-10 emotional residue between them.
• Receives explicit Luffy-acknowledgement of her Ch. 10 wound (page 6, Luffy: “That’s okay. I know you lost someone to pirates. I understand…”) — first time Luffy verbalizes that he heard her. Her reaction (page 6 panel 3, soft smile and ”…”) is the first crack in her “I won’t become a pirate” wall.
• Slaps a hand-pact with Luffy (page 17): “I won’t become a pirate! Let’s just say we’ll join forces… work together for a common goal!!” — first formal on-page alliance with Luffy. Not recruitment — the conditional-alliance framing preserved through East Blue until Arlong Park. Pattern-seed for Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern: the almost-but-not-yet recruit template.
• Tries to stop Mayor Boodle from charging Buggy alone (page 15): “Getting yourself killed won’t accomplish anything! You’re being RECKLESS!!” — the title-drop line is in Nami’s mouth. She is now the chapter’s voice of pragmatic survivalism while still siding emotionally with the doomed mayor — the Nami-as-pressure-valve template.
• Calls Luffy and Zolo “crazy” at chapter end (page 19) but follows them anyway.

Orange Town (Ch. 13)

• Present throughout the chapter alongside Luffy and the mayor. After Ch 10’s emotional outburst, Ch 13 functions as her first quiet character chapter — she has very few lines, but her reactions do all the work.
• Surface-bravado mask re-deployed (page 16): when Luffy reappears safe, Nami covers her relief with “I was hoping that lion would eat you!” — the deflect-via-insult pattern that becomes her standard interpersonal grammar with Luffy for the rest of the East Blue saga.
• First on-page beat of Nami registering Luffy as a moral exception (page 18, “ULP!” reaction shot). The mayor narrates “He fought that lion… for the dog’s sake!!” and Nami’s wide-eyed silent panel is the chapter’s quietest and most load-bearing image. She is seeing Luffy as not-a-generic-pirate for the first time. Cross-link Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern — Nami’s recruitment-signature internal feat is her moral hierarchy admitting an exception.
• External endorsement of her Ch 10 outburst — the mayor’s “They take away what’s most precious and laugh!!! They’re all the same!!! Pirates!!!” (page 16) re-articulates Nami’s Ch 10 “You pirates took someone dear to me” in a second, unrelated voice. The first time her wound is mirrored by another character on-page. Cross-link Nami Hates Pirates Tell and Nami Backstory and Bell-mere.
• Restrains the mayor physically (page 17) when he threatens to kill Luffy preemptively for being a future pirate. First time Nami physically intervenes on Luffy’s behalf, in the same chapter she first quietly registers him as a moral exception.

Orange Town (Ch. 12)

• Key theft revealed (page 8): “I just wanted to thank you for saving me…” — Nami palmed the cage-key during her Ch. 10 staff-clubbing of Buggy. The Ch. 10 moral break (“if I murder him in cold blood I’ll be as bad as a pirate”) is paid off as a competent break — she didn’t just refuse the kill, she stole the unlock-tool in the same beat. First on-page demonstration that Nami’s defections are operational, not just emotional. Pays into Nami Robbing Pirates Code.
• “I never agreed to that!” (page 8) — Nami still openly rejects the “our navigator” framing even as she’s helping the rescue. The denial-but-acting structural pattern of her early-arc relationship with the crew (assist while refusing to join) is on-page for the first time.
• Runs interference with Boodle — Nami is the one Boodle addresses at the Pet Food shop (pages 11-15); she’s the listener for the Chouchou parable. The two characters in the chapter who carry backstory-grief (Nami from Ch. 10, Boodle for Chouchou here) are placed in the same panel sequence — Oda quietly setting up Nami-as-listener-for-other-people’s-loss.
• First time on-page in panel with a non-Buggy-Pirates civilian (Boodle, page 10) — she’s drawn back into ordinary-town life by the encounter.
• Flees when Mohji’s lion roars (page 15) — Nami’s instinct under animal-tier threat is to run. Establishes her flight, not fight default; recurs every arc.

Orange Town (Ch. 11)

• First combat-action beat (p. 14): lights the harbor cannon under Buggy Ball threat and fires back at Buggy (“LIGHT THIS THING!” / “YEAH!” — coordinating with Luffy in the cage — followed by full-page “KABOOM!!”). First time on-page Nami participates in active combat rather than narrative misdirection.
• Internal monologue panic (p. 7): “Not good. The tables have turned… If I don’t do something, those two will end up dead — and so will I!!!” — first time Nami’s interior-voice is shown on a moral axis (her safety vs. the boys’). The Ch. 10 “I’ll never become what I hate!!!” beat is paid off here in real-time decision-making.
• Recruited declaratively by Luffy — refuses on-panel (p. 15): Luffy: “She’s our new navigator!” / Nami: “Actually… I’m… a thief.” / Zoro: “Who’re you, anyway?”. First captain-side recruitment-by-declaration in the series. Pays off Zoro’s “She’d make a great navigator…” evaluation from Ch. 8. The Nami-refuses → eventually-joins arc spans the rest of East Blue. Cross-link Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern.
• Tactical-mind-on-the-job demonstrated (p. 14): she’s the one who spots the side cannon and converts it into the escape vector. First demonstration that her navigator skillset (situational awareness, fast read of a tactical environment) is generalized intelligence, not just sea-and-weather knowledge.
• Hates pirates / will tag along anyway (p. 13): “He’s deserting us!? Urgh! That’s why I hate pirates! Now I have to come up with an escape plan!” — directly cites the Ch. 10 “that’s why I hate pirates” line as her in-character justification for the rescue. The line is being established as her recurring tic; pays off in Arlong Park.
• First-named-as-Straw-Hat in dialogue (forced): Luffy’s “She’s our new navigator” (p. 15) is the first time Nami is referred to with a crew role — even though she denies it, the role is now on the table from Luffy’s mouth.

Orange Town (Ch. 10)

• Cover splash — first manga cover appearance: Nami running across a desert with an unnamed pet pig hauling a treasure chest under a generic skull-and-crossbones flag (not a Buggy or Straw Hat jolly roger — fits her “freelance thief” status pre-recruitment).
• Infiltrates the Buggy Pirates at “The Drinker Pub” posing as a new crewmate to steal Buggy’s Grand Line Map and treasure.
• Heavy alcohol tolerance — wins a drinking contest against Buggy’s full crew; Buggy invites her into his captain’s inner circle.
• Explicit moral self-distinction from pirates (p. 14): “If I murder him in cold blood, then I’ll be as bad as a pirate, too!” — thieves-above-pirates moral hierarchy stated in her own narration.
• Cover blown by Luffy — Luffy in the cage calls her “partner”; her furious denial gives away the infiltration.
• The Buggy-Ball loyalty test — Buggy orders her to fire a Buggy Ball at the caged Luffy to “prove her loyalty.” She nearly does it.
• First “Nami cracks under pressure and acts” beat — clubs Buggy with his own staff and frees Luffy. First time in the series she sides with Luffy against her own interests — and the first character to side with Luffy from outside his existing relationships.
• First spoken hint at backstory (p. 16): “You pirates took someone dear to me… I’ll never become what I hate!!!” — the Bell-mère/Arlong seed. Seeds Nami Hates Pirates Tell and Nami Backstory and Bell-mere.
• Luffy’s instant read (p. 16): “Oh… so that’s why you hate pirates.” — first moment of the Luffy-Nami trust dynamic the East Blue arc rests on.

Orange Town (Ch. 9)

• First on-page name caption — page 2’s “NAMI THE PIRATE ROBBER” frame, mirroring the formal nameplate framing used for Buggy four pages later. Oda introduces both characters with the same visual grammar (seated/throne-like pose + caption nameplate).
• Self-introduces by name on page 8 in dialogue with Luffy.
• Stated dream — 100,000,000 berries to buy “a certain village” (page 10). The dangling-noun + specific-number combo is the seed for Nami Tangerine Village. Pre-coded payoff: Cocoyasi Village ransomed by Arlong.
• Tangerine prop-tell (page 14): “But I love money! And tangerines!” — non-staple-fruit affection is a second seed-bead for the Bell-mère/Cocoyasi reveal.
• Hates pirates — unequivocally. Stated to Luffy after she learns he is one; paid off at Arlong Park backstory.
• First articulation of the “Grand Line” goal in her mouth (page 10): Buggy’s stolen map is identified as the map of the Grand Line.
• Fake-defection plot (pages 18-20): drags Luffy to Buggy’s tavern, hogties him, and offers him bound as a captured thief — pretending to defect to Buggy in order to grab the map and treasure. “Infiltration accomplished!” (page 20, smirking aside). Structural rehearsal of her actual relationship with Arlong (pretending to serve while undermining).

Post-Enies Lobby — Water Seven (Ch. 435)

• First bounty: 16,000,000 berries (“Cat Burglar Nami”, p.17). Manages the now-depleted funds; doles out a 10,000-berry allowance to Chopper (p.7). Furious Luffy blew the party money (p.7).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 442)

• Forecasts a huge storm purely from a pressure drop, giving a five-minute warning (pp. 8-9) — her navigator’s instinct trusted on faith (“I don’t see it, but if she says so, it’s coming”).
• Goes aboard the ghost ship (drew lots) and is the target of Brook’s first “panties” gag (pp. 15-17).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 444)

• Went ahead with Usopp and Tony Tony Chopper, was thrown over the wall onto the island, and is now lost in the foggy forest, fleeing Cerberus (pp. 8, 15-18).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 445)

• In the carriage group with Usopp and Tony Tony Chopper, riding Hildon’s carriage toward Dr. Hogback’s mansion; spooked by the fog-forest creatures, asks Hildon to turn back to the shore (pp. 4-9).
• Abandoned with the others in the cemetery; when zombies grab Usopp she swings her Clima-Tact to free him (“Let go of Usopp!”, p. 15) before the trio flee to the mansion.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 447)

• Hunted through Hogback’s mansion by an unseen “invisible man”; insists he grabbed her while the skeptical Usopp/Chopper refuse to believe her (pp. 7-8).
• Targeted by the invisible Absalom as his intended bride (“I’ll make her mine!”, p. 7) — the trigger for the arc’s forced-wedding subplot. See Invisible Beast-Growling Intruder Aboard The Thousand Sunny.
• Vindicated when the mansion erupts with zombies: “Nami was right!” (p. 14).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 456)

• Hides with Chopper, urging the group to “wait for the right opportunity” to retake Luffy’s shadow rather than charge out; reasons it’s “the same as Brook” — Luffy won’t die from losing his shadow (pp. 13-14).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 458) — recaptured; about to be dressed as Absalom’s bride

• Recaptured (after escaping Absalom in Ch. 453): shown unconscious and about to be dressed as Absalom’s bride for the imminent forced wedding ceremony (p. 15). See Absalom, Mast Mansion.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 460)

• Reminds the crew the real objective is recovering the stolen shadows, not just the stolen food (p. 6).
• Target of Absalom’s forced wedding, set to begin within the hour (pp. 10-12).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 461)

• Held at the Thriller Bark church as the bride in Absalom’s forced wedding; the ceremony is shown in progress with a zombie priest and undead congregation (pp. 18-19). The crew races to stop it.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 462)

• Held as Absalom’s forced bride in the Mast Mansion church; the ceremony is interrupted by the island’s shaking, and Luffy bursts in for her (pp. 14, 19-20).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 463)

• Drugged unconscious and dressed as “the bride” for Absalom’s forced wedding; rescued by Sanji before any vows (“Your knight is at your service. I’m here, Nami.”). Onlooking zombies mistake her for a goddess/angel (pp. 10-15).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 468)

• With Chopper and Robin against Hogback; taunts him — “How do you like being held back by your crew’s powers?!” — and reacts through the Cindry-origin reveal and the zombie brawl (pp. 2, 19).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 469)

• Still unconscious under the sleeping drug; guarded by Sanji in the church until Oars’s foot crashes in and the invisible Absalom abducts her to make her his “bride” (pp. 13-16). (last_appearance advances 0468→0469.)

Thriller Bark (Ch. 471)

• Wakes mid-ceremony in the bride dress to find Absalom about to kiss her; refuses (“you putrefying perv!!”) and fights free (pp. 7-8).
• Enraged that Absalom blasted Lola aside, hits him with Thunder Charge: Swing Arm — admits “I know it’s not effective on you!!” — yet he collapses (already at his limit from his earlier fight with Sanji on the bridge); declares “I win!!!” (pp. 13-15).
• Reconciles with the zombie Lola: confesses “I’m really a woman!”, and Lola reveals she already knew — the “Namizo” ruse has become a real friendship (“my friend”) (pp. 11-16). See Lola The Zombie Befriends Nami My Friend Beat.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 489) — receives Lola’s mother’s Vivre Card; recognizes Ace’s paper is the same

• Captain Lola gives Nami her mother’s Vivre Card as a parting gift (“since you and I are like sisters… I want you to have this”) and Nami learns/relays the full Life Paper mechanic (pp. 18-19). See Vivre Card, Lola’s Mother.
• Connects it to Ace’s paper: “That paper that Ace once gave you… it’s the same thing, isn’t it?” — and reveals the part she’d withheld: “the life force of the owner is also reflected in the paper!!” When they check Ace’s card it is scorched and shrinking, “on the verge of being snuffed out” (p. 20). See Ace’s Vivre Card Scorched And Shrinking Signals His Life In Peril, Ace.

Fish-Man Island (Ch. 607)

• Navigates the descent by the log-pose needle pointing toward Fish-Man Island (pp. 11-12).

Into the New World (Ch. 654)

• Navigates the crew out of the White-Strom and through the whale gam’s current; orders the crew to follow the pod’s flow rather than fight it, since a group of whales “creates its own current.” (p. 10, 14-15) Opens the chapter taking her first bath on the Sunny in two years.

Punk Hazard (Ch. 695) — Weather Egg → Thunder-Breed Tempo

• “I’ve done enough running. I want in on the offense!!” (p. 11). Teams with Usopp: hatches a “Weather Egg” into a thundercloud and lands “Meteorology attack… Thunder-Breed!!! Tempo!!!”, electrocuting the fleeing Joker agents Buffalo & Baby 5 out of the sky (pp. 14–16).

Dressrosa (Ch. 795)

• With the Sunny group on the mystery island; targeted by a “rain-ruption”/flood attack from Sheepshead’s raiders, who demand to know where they hid “the woman” (pp. 5–6).

Wano Country — Onigashima Raid (Ch. 987)

• Uses the homie Zeus to blast a charging Big Mom — “Eleclaw!! / Black Balls!! / Lightning Cloud Rod!!” — and flees with Carrot. (Page 11)

Wano Country — Onigashima Raid (Ch. 989)

• Flees the rampaging Big Mom with Shinobu and Momonosuke; protected by Momonosuke’s vow (pp. 3-5); urges Franky that they must escape “an Emperor.”

Wano Country — Onigashima raid (Ch. 996)

• With Usopp on the Forehead-floor “Animal Kingdom Bath” when Otama, Komachiyo and Hihimaru arrive as reinforcement; addressed by Otama as “Onami” (pp. 2–3).

Wano Country — Onigashima performance floor (Ch. 1046)

• On the burning performance floor with Zeus; reckons there is no escape “unless this island lands on the ground again,” and worries that all of Onigashima — and the missing crew — are engulfed (p. 7).
• (last_appearance 1041 → 1046.)

Wano (epilogue) (Ch. 1058)

• New bounty 366,000,000, captioned “Navigator: Cat Burglar Nami.” (p.4)

Egghead — “Protect Robin!!” (Ch. 1113) — shown

• Calls the crew to shield Robin as the Gorosei target her (pp. 15-16).

Egghead escape (Ch. 1117)

• On the SSG ship/Sunny — “Look!! The barrier’s coming down!!” (p. 5); calls Zoro aboard (“Zolo!!!”, p. 8).

Elbaf (Ch. 1132)

• Captured by the giant collector Rodo as an “ultra-rare livedoll” before escaping; marvels at the rideable rainbow (“It’s like sailing on a sea of colors!!”, p.7).

SBS reveals

Thriller Bark (Ch. 472)

• Acting on Lola’s island intel, she races to Thriller Bark’s treasure chamber — refusing to “go back empty-handed” after recovering Luffy’s shadow becomes the crew’s goal — only to find it EMPTY, beaten to it by Perona’s looting faction (pp. 17–18). She doubts the crew can wrest Luffy’s shadow back from “that big zombie I saw in the freezer” (Oars).

Thriller Bark — Kuma encounter (Ch. 473)

• Chases down her stolen treasure and the Sunny; confronts Perona (pp. 10-11). Survives the arrival of Kuma, who identifies her as “the cat burglar… a member of the Straw Hats” and warps to her in an instant (pp. 17-18). She fields his question about Luffy’s brother Ace and resolves “I have to warn Luffy!” (p. 18). See Kuma Cryptic Interest In Luffy And His Older Brother.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 475)

• Lands Thunderbolt Tempo with the Perfect Clima-Tact (“Climate Baton”) to drop lightning on Oars and force him to his knees; nearly hit by Oars’s long-range Gum-Gum Pistol but saved by Robin (pp. 13-17).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 476)

• Uses the Clima-Tact “Dark Cloud Tempo” to charge Brook with electricity for the launch (pp. 14-15), and fires “Atlas Comet” at Oars (p. 17).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 478)

• Among the last three still fighting; despairs that “just the three of us” can’t beat Oars (p. 3), helps bait the giant (“Hey, Oars!! Look over here!!”, p. 6), and cries out for Usopp as Oars retaliates and stomps the crew (pp. 8-10).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 480)

• Clima-Tact “Cool Ball” → “Rain Tempo” rains on Oars so the freezer can lock him in ice; the victims call her “a witch” (pp. 10-11).

Thriller Bark — aftermath (Ch. 486)

• Reunites with the living Lola, the source of the warthog zombie’s shadow; declines to loot treasure from “our saviors” (pp. 5-6).
• Lola presses a gift on her — “Take this as a token of my gratitude!!” — and Nami accepts (p. 6).
• Senses a coming storm with her weather instinct (p. 6).
