The highly anticipated Elbaf arc in One Piece begins with an adorable moment that is surprisingly a callback to 27 years ago.
Over the course of 27 years, the One Piece manga has followed Luffy and his crew from the East Blue to the dangerous seas of the New World. Luffy met Nami, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp in the East Blue and they have been part of the crew ever since. Fans know Nami’s heartbreaking story and everything her friends did to free her from Arlong’s grip.
While Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are the three strongest members of the crew, Usopp is one of the weakest. However, in One Piece Chapter 1127, Nami doesn’t know she is in Elbaf because she is being chased by giant insects. She not only calls out the trio of monsters, but also says that she will even get help from Usopp.
Since she has no idea of his location or where the crew is, the logical choice would be to want Jimbei or Franky to appear, much stronger than Usopp. However, Usopp was there in Arlong Park and he risked his life to save her from the evil pirate.
So when she finds herself stranded in an unfamiliar place, she unconsciously calls out the names of the four friends she trusts the most. One Piece Chapter 1127 follows his struggles in Elbaf. She sees Usopp fighting a giant cat and asking for help. However, she says, “You’re supposed to save me.” »
This implies that Nami knows that whether Usopp is strong or not, he will definitely reach out to help her if he sees her in trouble. Luckily, the monster trio arrives in time and saves the duo as always.
A fan shares on Twitter/X: “Looking at things purely from a combat perspective, Usopp is by no means number 4 of the Straw Hat crew, but Nami asks Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp. Considering these four were the members sent to defeat Arlong, it’s a bit too much, she has every confidence in him.
“Yes, she could never have known that she was in this mysterious land, stuck with just these four. She could have called Franky or Jimbei, but she didn’t because she does much more trust these boys,” he wrote. a fan.
Another fan adds: “Nami knows very well that even if Ussop proves cowardly and weak when the time comes, he will do everything he can to try to protect his teammates. These four risked their lives to free Nami when they barely knew her. This is why Arlong Park will forever be my favorite moment.
