Luffy announces that they are going to save Robin, as the drawbridge is lowered. Meanwhile, Nami thinks of how Robin's lonely days are now over, which reminds her of how she joined the Straw Hats herself. In the flashback, Nami tells Luffy not to get involved with what is happening in her hometown and then goes to her house, where Nojiko observes the mess that Nami has caused in a fit of anger. Nojiko asks Nami if the Straw Hats are upsetting her, and Nami explains that she was hoping to be able to leave them behind but that she might have remained with them forever if things had happened differently. Nojiko understands how much Nami cares about the others. Nami's memory of how she joined Arlong's pirate crew, in order to gain enough money to buy her village, is shown. Nami later confronts Arlong, furious about how he allowed the Marines he had bribed to steal her money.
