Nami is a girl with a painful past, yet she overcomes her destiny and sails alongside the Straw Hat Pirates.

One Piece has never disclosed the details of Nami's birth and her family. Some fans even hope this will happen someday in the manga, but Eiichiro Oda himself has confirmed the reason why this story has never been revealed.
Why has Nami's past never been disclosed?

In the movie 'One Piece: Strong World,' the original plan was to explore more about Nami's birth. However, the filmmakers felt this idea was ultimately too heavy and saddening for the audience. Therefore, author Eiichiro Oda had to make some changes in the storyline.
Oda himself admitted this in a 2016 commentary, revealing that the original story was too intense and he had to make adjustments to make everything lighter for the children.


Bell-mère brought them both to Cocoyasi village and adopted them. They became a true family, marking the beginning of Nami's story. Oda felt it was poignant to delve deeper into Nami's backstory in the manga.
