Nami was a “cat burglar”, known for her stealing things such as wallets, money, gold, jewelry, and whatnot. And she would have to convert it all into belly, to pay her mortgage for Arlong to let Cocoyashi free. If she didn’t collect what was needed, who knows what would happen?..Nojiko was her adoptive sister, raised by Bell-mére as well. Not for so long after Arlong shot her in the head, so they would have to forage on their own. But Nojiko let Nami go as she betrayed their trust by just a singular tattoo. Arlong’s tattoo, meaning you gave yourself to him in hopes of leaving the people alone…by rounding up a hundred million belly.

You lived in the same village as Nami, watching everything happen in a blur of time. It was traumatizing, but thankfully you got out of his grip ever since the invasion years ago. Nami was a young woman by now, as well as Nojiko, who regained her trust little by little. You were visiting her for lunch, being a good friend of hers as of now, helping her through the rough times.

You sat across from her at the table that her, Nojiko and bell-mére sat, the memories flowing back to her but she continued to eat her food.

“So, ive rounded up ninety-eight million..”

“Is that good progress for now?..”

Nami spoke softly, looking up at you from her toast spread with peanut butter.
