In the illustration, Roronoa Zoro sits at a round table in a rustic tavern, pouring a bottle of beer into a large mug. He is accompanied by two giant roosters. One rooster stands behind him, looking excitedly at the drink, while the other sits across the table, holding its own mug. Zoro smiles as he pours the drink. Page 1: Luffy stands with his hands on his hips, stating firmly, "I'm fine. I'm not really interested in her past." He turns and begins walking away down the dirt path. Usopp, sitting on the ground, calls after him in disbelief, "Take a walk? You're not going to listen?" Sanji, sitting nearby, adds casually, "No, I'm cool." Zoro, leaning back with his arms crossed, smirks and says, "That's just the kind of guy he is. Don't mind him." Nojiko watches Luffy walk away, looking confused, and asks, "What's with him?" Page 2: Usopp tells Nojiko, "But we'll listen to what you have to say." Zoro, leaning against the tree, adds, "Though I doubt hearing your story will change anything." Usopp continues, "Well, I, for one, will listen to understand what's going on." Sanji, smiling with a cigarette in his mouth, agrees, "Me too." Zoro is then shown snoring loudly, fast asleep against the tree, while the others protest, "...BUT YOU'RE SLEEPING" and "DON'T JUST FALL ASLEEP AS SOON AS YOU SAY THAT!" Nojiko watches them and says, "I see... No wonder they're giving Nami so much trouble..." Meanwhile, Luffy continues walking away down the path. Page 3: Nami wakes up, lifting her head from her arms on a table. She thinks, "I fell asleep...?" She looks around the empty, messy room and wonders, "Where'd she go...? Nojiko?" She stares at a large woven basket overflowing with fresh oranges. A small smile forms on her face as she thinks, "...Just a little more, Bellemere..." Page 4: A flashback begins. A young Nami smiles brightly, thinking, "Just a little more and everything'll be back the way it used to be. Cocoyashi Village, the orange farm... as well as my dream..." She is shown looking at a map. The scene shifts to 8 years ago. A young Nami struggles against Genzo, who is holding her by the back of her shirt. She yells, "Let go of me! It's just one book, what's the big deal!? There's still tons more!" Genzo angrily scolds her, "You dumb brat! A bookstore's supposed to have a lot of books! How many times must I tell you that stealing is inexcusable!" Nami sticks her tongue out at him and retorts, "But my family's poor, I can't help it! Cheapskate!" She is holding a stolen book titled "NAVIGATION". Page 5: Genzo drags young Nami to a small house and yells, "Bellemere! Bellemere! Come out already! Your little cat burglar's done it again!" Bellemere steps out of the house, smoking a cigarette, wearing a plaid shirt and dark pants. She looks annoyed and says, "Jeez, you're noisy. What is it? Oh, welcome home, Nami." Nami smiles and replies, "I'm home, Bellemere." Genzo yells at Nami, "You stay quiet!" He then turns to Bellemere, "Do you have any idea how many times she's done this now!? You're getting a terrible reputation among the townsfolk! For heaven's sake, you need to properly discipline her." A caption introduces "Nami and Nojiko's foster mother, Bellemere". Page 6: Genzo continues to yell at Bellemere, "It's precisely because of that attitude of yours that she's...!" Bellemere casually replies, "Oh what's the big deal, she's still just a kid. I'm sure you must've shoplifted once or twice too when you were a kid, right?" Genzo looks flustered. Bellemere leans in close to him and says, "I don't have any money on me right now so I'll pay you back next time... with my body." Genzo's face turns bright red as he yells, "Don't say such idiotic things!" Bellemere teases, "What's this? Your face is all red." She then says, "Alright, alright. Thanks again, anyways. You paid for her, didn't you?" Genzo walks away, still flustered. Nami hugs her navigation book and says, "I'm sorry, Bellemere. But I wanted this book no matter what!" Page 7: Inside the house, a young Nojiko tells Nami, "If you wanted it so much, then why didn't you just tell me? You're such a klutz, Nami! If it were me, I'd have stolen it without getting caught." Bellemere swiftly strikes both girls on the head, causing them to cry out, "Owww!" Bellemere scolds them, "Stealing is wrong!" Nojiko rubs her head and says, "I was only joking!" Nami argues, "But you wouldn't have bought it for me even if I said something!" Bellemere replies, "Of course I would have. I do have enough money saved away to buy at least a book or two." She then explains, "In any case, the weather's been unusually good these days so all the orange farms have been abl...
