The moment I'm sure hooked many of us into the One Piece series. When a crewmate's in trouble the Strawhats will stop at nothing to save their own! Truly a heartfelt moment.
As beautiful as this scene was, it was actually the next arc where I was hooked. When Chopper presented Dr. Hiriluk with the mushroom and Hiriluk hugged him, that's when I knew I was in for the long haul.
I usually forget that Nami and Luffy are not alone in this scene. To me having Zoro, Ussop and Sanji listening and then immediately acepting the order from their captain puts the cherry on top.
They know this is between the captain and the navigator. Even with the best of intentions the best they could do is stay on standby for their captain's decision.
It's the fact that he waits until she asks. He doesn't force his help on her. He's her friend, and he wants to help, but he knows it's not his place until she asks. Genuinely one of the best moments in any Shonen.
@@LarryBonsonY cuál es el problema con eso? Todos los Mugiwara saben que necesitan a Luffy y que él los ayudó, de igual manera que Luffy sabe que necesita a sus compañeros para seguir adelante, ese es el tipo de relación que tienen, y no se avergüenzan o se sentirán mal por eso
That is an important part of it but also remember she asks him to leave lots of times but only asks for help the once. She screams to leave but whispers for help and Luffy, being the hero answers accordingly.
@TheCcguy Right? This is the only series that made me actually feel something for randos and side characters. Not really saying others haven't at all, it's just a high number with this series
I originally didn’t like One Piece and considered quitting. But when I saw this scene for the first time, my breath was taken away and I felt something shift inside me. I can’t explain it, but it truly was an experience I have not felt before. That feeling is what cemented my decision to continue this story, and I have yet to find another story that has matched One Piece since.
It’s crazy to me that people try to say One Piece doesn’t get any good until several hundred episodes in. East blue saga is just filled with incredible moments. This has got to be the best though, in my opinion. One of the most iconic scenes in Anime.
Arlong is one of the best arcs but there's no real hook for the show up until Baratie. I love them now because I love the IP but I along with many others quit before Baratie. It's not until Baratie where Sanji gets his backstory where the show gets really good for the first time in my opinion.
@@Arknjoyer i think what they mean to say is 'if you get to this moment in one piece, and you still dont like it, quit watching because its just not for you.'
Emily Rudd did great nailing this scene in the live action, she said she was concerned/nervous because it’s a very touching scenes for fans and she wanted to get perfect as she could🥺
I mean it’s probably been said before but this moment really solidified Luffy’s character for me. He didn’t interrupt Nami, he calmly waited until she asked for help because he knew she needed it. Then proceeds to liberate her entire island with his crew. It’s difficult to capture how good this moment in anime is. No fighting, no huge animation, just raw unfiltered yet perfect emotion captured. ❤
Doesn't matter if it's in English or Japanese, this scene hits hard and is perfectly emotional, huge points to both of Nami's VA's for handling this heartbreaking moment, and of course Luffy's response is just perfect
I love how Luffy might not know all about the characters he meet but will help anyone who clearly need it. Shows how Luffy has a heart of gold and cares for the people around him.
Akemi Okamura's performance in this scene still gives me chills till this day. Looking forward to seeing Emily Rudd's version when the live action drops tomorrow since Oda said himself he loved it
Luffy and Nami's interaction in this scene already made me tear up, but seeing Zoro, Sanji and Usopp quietly listening and immediately accepting Luffy's order to throw hands with Arlong actually made my tears fall uncontrollably. I admit, I'm a sucker for these types of scenarios in stories where a crew or family etc. help one of their own, no questions asked.
Straight up iconic, when you combine this with the scene where Luffy literally asks "Which one is Arlong?" since like Nami pointed out he's not super familiar with the situation but knows he has to help it's a tearjerker. This is the scene that made me a One Piece fan.
It's honestly beautiful how simple-mindedly kind Luffy can be. Does he understand the story? Does he even know Nami's full story and struggles? Did he pass by something similar? Can he feel Nami's full suffering? No, no, no, and no. His friend is crying for his help, and the one at fault is the fish-man, so Luffy WILL beat up the fish-man "OF COURSE I WILL!!!"
Yes! And let's also not forget that the current Nami, even without her recently acquired Zeus, could easily and single-handedly take care of this Arlong. I firmly believe that.
The moment Luffy placed his Hat on Nami,.... it really felt like sanctuary..... Just willing to help and save you whenever you need help. Luffy is clearly amazing....
What sells this scene besides Luffy’s determination to help Nami is how she is surprised that he WANTS to help her even after all she said and did to him and the others, and how he trusts her with his hat, his own treasure.
@@marklewis5733 Exactly! And Luffy had seen Nami as a friend from the minute she traveled with them, which is why he said she was gonna be the Straw Hats' navigator and no one else.
I love this moment for so many reasons, from Nami realizing the meaning behind him putting his hat on her head, to Luffy showing his role as a captain. God I love One Piece.
People who can't at least respect this scene have no sort of peace or resolve in their life. Life is hard, you can't always get what you want. One Piece is silly a lot of times but then at times like this, is when things become epic.
I suppose it's probably obvious to say, but there's something really powerful about seeing Luffy put his hat down on Nami. It's like a way of saying simultaneously - you're super precious to me and also I will protect you. I thought that moment was very sweet.
One of the first emotional moments of the show, after seeing this I knew one piece would start to become something special. Don’t forget Oda said this scene is perfect so let’s hope Emily Rudd can portray the emotion in this scene
This was, and still is, an incredible character moment for Luffy He has no idea what's been going on He knows he's been told to leave but still he's there, just because Nami is his friend
The immense amount of pain that radiates off of two words is stunning. Luffy’s actions are just as equally impactful. To put his hat on her head means he considers her a crew mate despite what has happened. Never before or since has he taken off his hat and given it someone when he was preparing for battle. Even now (in one of his most important fights) Luffy still has his hat on in Gear 5.
I'm a newcomer, I'm at chapter 233 at the moment, but Luffy constantly gives Nami his hat every now and then, he gave it to her during Skypeia to climb the giant plant and during some smaller moments, also to Usopp during the Foxy crew games. I think that after this point Luffy shows how much he trusts his crew by giving them his hat every now and then.
One of the realest moments in one piece for me. Her grief feels so real. The anger, the self harm, digging in the dirt because there’s nothing else she can do before breaking down into tears. So incredibly powerful.
Luffy: "Is that an Arlong tattoo?" Nami: "Yeah, but it's removable." I jest, but this is still one of the best moments in One Piece despite how early on it is. And it doesn't come out of nowhere. We've seen Nami be very capable up to this point and do everything on her own with relative success. Which is why her breaking down and finally asking for help hits so hard. And the idea that the greatest cat burglar finally managed to get Luffy's greatest treasure of Luffy's own free will.
It's not simply that Luffy is giving nami his treasure, but giving it to her then in that circumstance is Luffy trusting nami to keep it safe and give it back... As a member of his crew.
Wow, I've never seen this anime scene before. I'm in tears right now.😭 I've watched the 'One Piece Live Action show' and even though the Luffy/Nami scene had me emotional, the scene from the anime is even more of a emotional gut punch.
This moment is important. Not just for the context of the story, but it applies to real life too. At this moment, the most painful hurdle for Nami to get over was to actually lighten the load off of her own shoulders and ask for help. Of course Luffy's immaculate ability to judge people's character, he knew she was pushing away. He who knows how important it is to rely on others, (he even admits how helpless he would be without help later) he naturally knows how self destructive it is to burden everything yourself. So he works to liberate Nami from that mindset by simply waiting until she acknowledges that she simply cannot do this alone. Whether she likes it or not. In a way, it's what I like to call one of Luffy's many selfish acts of kindness.
This gets me every time, Just the sheer thought that Nami felt like she was about to lose everyone she ever cared for and finally asking someone for help is such an emotion. "The Bravest thing anyone can say is help"
It takes a lot to make tear up the way this scene does. How Luffy gives Nami is hat, his greatest treasure, in a similar way to how Shanks put it on his head to comfort him is a beautiful gesture and even after years since i started watching One Piece I still feel and remember the journey up to this point.
I'm sorry, I'm a new One Piece fan, and I have to wonder, what is wrong with you? Are you jaded by bad live action adaptations like Dragonball Evolution?
hahaha It's too much time for OP. imagine engaging in a story, a universe, for 10 years. that it becomes yours at some point... hence the crying babies @@LightStreak567
The moment he gives her the hat breaks me because that hat is everything to him and the fact that he gives it to her shows just how much he cares about his friends
I love that before this, the Straw Hats were more or less a ragtag gang of guys that barely knew each other. After 2:14, they’re a _crew._ And Arlong made their navigator cry.
Watching the live action and then watching this makes me realize how much they truly invested into the live action! Emily did a fantastic job as Nami and Luffy was amazing as well!
This.. this was THE moment that made me realize OP was a series I needed to finish. The moment Luffy walks off and his crew is already there, waiting for their captain…. Damn. That was it
One of the things i feel barely anyone notices is that in every situation where they had a chance to learn about Nami's past, both zoro and luffy never even bothered to listen in- they already knew that no matter what they would help her regardless of her circumstances
The howling of the wind in the background makes this scene so damn chilling on top of already being so damn emotional. Such an awesome build to Luffy screaming!
This is why Luffy is the perfect example of how to be an ally: 1. He only steps in when you are clearly hurting yourself 2. Even when you remind him that he has no context or reason to help, his only concern is seeing you get help 3. When you ask for help, he was already going to do it anyway.
This... This is the moment that made me fell in love with One Piece. Nami, a really strong woman, defeated, on her knees, asking for help to the guys she "betrayed". And Luffy, quietly waiting for that moment, no hurry, he knows it has to come from her. Two words that have the same impact as a meteorite: "Help me...", followed by the strong symbolism of Luffy giving her his precious hat after accepting to help her. This is pure perfection ❤ I have to say they nailed this scene in the live action too.
Ah man, the walk to Arlong Park. What a legendary moment so early on. It's crazy to me that some people skip or are even recommended to skip the earlier arcs/sagas in OP. Some of my best moments/memories from this show are in the the first 3 sagas. Even Foxy and the Long Ring Long island arc had it's own charm and introduced Aokiji.
Sometimes when there are so many great episodes, you can't remember all of the moments. But this scene right here, i remember it clear as day. Definitely one of the iconic scenes from one piece.
Crazy part? During this entire arc, all the other characters are filled in about Nami's backstory and the history of Arlong Park. However, Luffy himself doesn't, as he thought that history was boring and would either ignore it or sleep through the exposition. So when Nami accuses Luffy of not knowing anything, he genuinely doesn't know anything about her or her backstory. Yet, he still chooses to help her out on a dime when she asks for it.
Ahhh the arlong park arc it's still one of my absolute favorites and this scene is the best of it and got me hooked into one piece watching luffy continue to help nami when she didn't want then when she asked he gathered the boys and went to work loved
This is the arc that showed Luffys true greatness. He does not know and he does not care about what history has played down.. All he know is that Nami is his friend and loved navigator and she deserves to be free from all evil.
One Piece can feel absolutely daunting. Take this from someone who just got to Water 7: I tried for years to get into One Piece but always stopped short of Arlong Park. This arc is THE arc that hooks you in. It shows you exactly the type of person Luffy is, and exactly why you cheer on the Straw Hats every time. This was the moment Nami and the Audience got a real look at just who Luffy really is, and why this crew is unbeatable.
This is the scene that truly sold me to ONEPIECE. From Nami’s despair… to her finally gave in and ask Luffy to help. And Luffy answered the BEST WAY! Still holds to this day!!
This was the moment tjat One piece conquers me! Also the moment that makes me feel a fan of this incredible neverending story! This scene makes me tearful emotional! 😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
To be honest, one time at an anime convention I was Sakura from Naruto and some Luffy guy said I was worthless and after that I hated One Piece But recently especially now I've come to like One Piece and Luffy We are all worth more than Sunken Treasure💛💎🦪
The only gripe I have with the live action is that they changed the villagers running off to fight arlong to after this scene instead of before, which really changes the emotional weight.
Luffy's light-hearted nature makes the moments where he get's serious even heavier. The shot of his face with the shadow of the strawhat covering his eyes is insane.

"OF COURSE I WILL!!!"
The thing I love most about this scene is that Luffy didn't know anything about nami's past. He just saw her crying and that was enough for him.
Luffy may not be a hero (in his own eyes), but he’s definitely a true friend when it counts. This is definitely one of those times.
He may not see himself as one… but he truly IS a hero, since they can come in all shapes and sizes and personalities.
He’s a hero. He just doesn’t see himself as one
He’s def a hero. Just doesn’t see himself as one
Of course he is a hero, he just doesn"t see himself as one
He wants all the 🍖 for himself, man is clearly not a hero
still makes me tear up every single time, i know people don't take Nami that seriously anymore but we can't forget this arc ever.

The howling of the wind in the background makes this scene so damn chilling on top of already being so damn emotional. Such an awesome build to Luffy screaming!
This is why Luffy is the perfect example of how to be an ally:
1. He only steps in when you are clearly hurting yourself
2. Even when you remind him that he has no context or reason to help, his only concern is seeing you get help
3. When you ask for help, he was already going to do it anyway.
if the live action gets this scene right im sold for multiple seasons
This... This is the moment that made me fell in love with One Piece. Nami, a really strong woman, defeated, on her knees, asking for help to the guys she "betrayed". And Luffy, quietly waiting for that moment, no hurry, he knows it has to come from her. Two words that have the same impact as a meteorite: "Help me...", followed by the strong symbolism of Luffy giving her his precious hat after accepting to help her.
This is pure perfection ❤
I have to say they nailed this scene in the live action too.
1:44 “Domain Expansion.”
I can't believe I was missing this anime. This, this clip right here sold me.
I love how the homies were assembled and just waiting for the captain to give the word.
Ah man, the walk to Arlong Park. What a legendary moment so early on. It's crazy to me that some people skip or are even recommended to skip the earlier arcs/sagas in OP. Some of my best moments/memories from this show are in the the first 3 sagas. Even Foxy and the Long Ring Long island arc had it's own charm and introduced Aokiji.
Sometimes when there are so many great episodes, you can't remember all of the moments. But this scene right here, i remember it clear as day. Definitely one of the iconic scenes from one piece.
Came back to watch this scene again after seeing it in the live adaption. Its just a perfect display of "actions speak louder than words" 💯
Me too. And its crazy how accurate they put it in the live action as well!
Crazy part? During this entire arc, all the other characters are filled in about Nami's backstory and the history of Arlong Park. However, Luffy himself doesn't, as he thought that history was boring and would either ignore it or sleep through the exposition. So when Nami accuses Luffy of not knowing anything, he genuinely doesn't know anything about her or her backstory. Yet, he still chooses to help her out on a dime when she asks for it.
Ahhh the arlong park arc it's still one of my absolute favorites and this scene is the best of it and got me hooked into one piece watching luffy continue to help nami when she didn't want then when she asked he gathered the boys and went to work loved
This scene is absolutely legendary
Luffy left his hat with Nami knowing one way or another, he was coming back to get it.
This is the arc that showed Luffys true greatness. He does not know and he does not care about what history has played down.. All he know is that Nami is his friend and loved navigator and she deserves to be free from all evil.
Asking for help is a sign of bravery
2:21 one of the coolest shots in One Piece
YOU SHOULD WATCH THE LIVE ACTION C:
This is Voice-acting at the highest level!
Watching the live action version gave me the same nostalgia when I first saw this heartfelt scene.
This scene make me cry, over and over and over again.
The feelings, the voice acting!
Thank you Oda Sensei!
This was the moment that everyone knew that this series would go far and wide and be placed in the history books.
Man this scene hit so damn hard and the live action NAILED it!!!
One Piece can feel absolutely daunting. Take this from someone who just got to Water 7: I tried for years to get into One Piece but always stopped short of Arlong Park. This arc is THE arc that hooks you in. It shows you exactly the type of person Luffy is, and exactly why you cheer on the Straw Hats every time. This was the moment Nami and the Audience got a real look at just who Luffy really is, and why this crew is unbeatable.
It’s not normal. I am 34 years old. Saw this scene 18-20 years ago and even now, makes my eyes watery.
This is the scene that truly sold me to ONEPIECE. From Nami’s despair… to her finally gave in and ask Luffy to help. And Luffy answered the BEST WAY! Still holds to this day!!
This was the moment tjat One piece conquers me! Also the moment that makes me feel a fan of this incredible neverending story! This scene makes me tearful emotional!
😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
To be honest, one time at an anime
convention I was Sakura from Naruto and some Luffy guy said
I was worthless and after that I
hated One Piece
But recently especially now
I've come to like One Piece and
Luffy
We are all worth more than
Sunken Treasure💛💎🦪
Definitely one of most powerful scenes in anime history
This was the best moment of the early One Piece for me. Still iconic today. 🎉
This scene in the live action was just as emotional as this. Such a powerful scene.
Stop lying
They did a decent job but nah
The only gripe I have with the live action is that they changed the villagers running off to fight arlong to after this scene instead of before, which really changes the emotional weight.
This scene broke me. I felt so bad for Nami. One Piece made me cry so many times.
You know the scene is serious when Usopp isn’t trying to convince the group not to go.
Only one piece can go from a heartbreakingly sad moment to a wholesome moment to a hype badass moment all within 2 and half minutes
After seeing this scene in the live action and now here i gotta watch the anime. Its too good
I love this moment so much it is so powerful and emotional
Luffy's light-hearted nature makes the moments where he get's serious even heavier. The shot of his face with the shadow of the strawhat covering his eyes is insane.
