One Piece’s Creator Talks Nami’s Biological Parents

One Piece's Creator Talks Nami's Biological Parents

As a long-time One Piece fanatic who has sailed through countless stormy seas and navigated treacherous waters of the Grand Line, I can’t help but feel a pang of anticipation as we delve into the final saga. The recent revelations about our beloved Straw Hat crew members have only fueled my excitement, particularly with regards to Nami, whose backstory continues to be shrouded in mystery.


The popular series One Piece has commenced its final story arc, surprising the Straw Hat Pirates with unexpected twists as they strive towards locating The One Piece and crowning Monkey D. Luffy as the pirate king. With the recent unveiling of the “Vivre Cards,” essentially visual dictionaries brimming with intriguing tidbits about the Grand Line’s most prominent characters, a wave of One Piece enthusiasts have delved into the past stories of significant figures. Thanks to fresh interviews with creator Eiichiro Oda, fans are uncovering crucial details about one Straw Hat crew member whose parents’ identities remain unknown.

It is well-known among fans of One Piece that Nami was brought up by a former Marine named Bellemere and had a sibling called Nojiko. A significant event in her life occurred when Arlong and his fishmen invaded their secluded island, leading to the death of Bellemere and compelling young Nami to join Arlong’s crew to protect her homeland. Fortunately for her, Luffy was able to vanquish Arlong, liberating the island from the oppressive rule of the fishmen. Even though the climactic story arc disclosed some major revelations, it has not delved into the background of Nami’s biological parents as of yet.

Who Are Nami’s Parents?

In previous interviews about the movies “One Piece: Strong World” and “One Piece: Film Gold”, Oda mentioned that he had already developed a backstory for Nami’s biological parents in his mind. Although he considered revealing them in the “Stone Wolrd” arc, he didn’t follow through with the plan. During the interview for “Film Gold”, Eiichiro shared that he still has an idea regarding their characters. As of now, the final saga hasn’t provided any hints about Nami’s parents, but there is not much time left to reveal this secret.

Nami doesn’t possess Devil Fruit abilities like some of her comrades in the Straw Hat Pirates, but her role within the crew is indispensable. Her ambition has long been to chart every inch of the Grand Line, and she’s making substantial headway on this journey as she sails with Luffy and her fellow shipmates aboard the Thousand Sunny.
