Nami is the crew's brain and compass. Known for her greed for money and her cunning, that shell is armor over a bitter past: she had to save up for years to free her village from a tyrant.
Character traits
Smart, pragmatic and an extraordinary navigator. Her ability to read the weather and the sea makes her indispensable in a world ruled by brute force. Even her seemingly cowardly moments are really a calculated survival intelligence.
Her love of money isn't greed but the mark of once paying the price of helplessness.
Role in the story
Nami's turning point is the moment she can finally say "help me" to Luffy — for the first time entrusting someone with a burden she carried alone all her life. Luffy placing his hat on her shoulder is one of the series' most powerful moments of fellowship.
She proves that strength can lie in knowledge, not just muscle.
