The seed
Why this matters
The chapter installs Nami’s practical-over-luxurious wardrobe-doctrine — the first on-page articulation. Recurring forward: Drum Kingdom (Nami buys a wool sweater for utility), Alabasta (Nami buys a dancer-outfit for disguise, not glamour), Water 7 (Nami picks practical wraps), Skypiea / Sabaody / Dressrosa (Nami picks one casual outfit per arc). The doctrine recurs across the series — Nami’s relationship with clothing is utility-and-glamour-both, not glamour-only.
Pairs with the Ch. 96 page 13 “I’ll lend you money at 300% interest” gag — Nami’s I’m-a-thief-but-I-don’t-spend-frivolously economic-frame. The 300% interest line + the I-like-casual-clothes line + the Ch. 95 I-leave-the-village-100M-but-pickpocket-the-villagers line together install Nami’s categorically-thrifty-thief character-grammar.
