Luffy has no clue who Arlong is nor did he hear Nami's backstory. All he knew was that "Arlong" made Nami cry, so he went to find out _which one was Arlong._
Yesss that's such a good detail about Luffy's character. I like to think it says something about how you can't help somebody who doesn't WANT to be helped. That's why Luffy keeps asking and asking, until he finally hears it and knows its time to go
Luffy is not a normal shonen protagonist. He is not the guy with the heart of the saint who wants to save everyone. He is not evil and usually does the right thing but he often does them for selfish reasons instead of right reasons. Luffy just won't go to anyone's rescue. His help needs to be asked first. Luffy won't help someone who doesn't want his help. Luffy doesn't see himself as a hero. He is a pirate after all. He literally does not care that Arlong had oppressed all those people. He is mad because Arlong made Nami cry. That is how Luffy functions. He fights for people he knows and cares about. Larger overall political or regional implications are just noise for him. As for Johnny and Yosaku, well they are Zoro's old friends, aren't they? That is why they are helping Strawhats. They have been Bounty Hunter Buddies of Zoro for a long time.
In regard to Yosaku and Johnny, I'd say it's not only that they were Zoro's buddies. All that time, from the moment Nami stole the ship up until they eavesdropped on her story, they believed she was up to no good. After they became aware of the reasons behind her actions, they were moved and inspired by all of it, and probably conflicted with themselves for how they were thinking of her, so challenging Arlong was probably their way of trying to make it up to her.
“Luffy help me“ this is the moment when I become in love with series forever, yes there is a lot of a great moments in One Piece but this still my favorite ❤️
The reason why Nami crying and asking Luffy for help hit so hard is because she never does. She could've asked Nojiko and the villagers to help gather money or asked the crews to help defeat Arlong. She never relies on anyone and puts up a strong appearance until her plan falls apart and she reaches her ultimate limit.
if luffy wanted to know about nami's past, he would either ask her or let her tell him herself. he doesn't really care who they were in the past or what happened to them. simply put, if luffy's friends are hurting, he will do what he can to help them. luffy is a simple yet complex character.
Its not that luffy dont want to help her, since the first time i watched this reminded me of baratie when he says sanji do not want to go so he wont take him. He knew nami was the right person but was waiting on her to ask for the help
Also to answer their question on why nami will not fight, well she shouldn’t have to. After everything she has been through and the trauma that has been dealt her, she probably is not in the right state of mind to face Arlong having someone to face that burden and lifting it off her shoulder
The point is that Nami needs to ask for help since she can’t resolve the situation herself as she has been futilely trying to do for 8 years. I’m fine with Nojiko surviving since the bullet only hit her shoulder, and for me at least that would have been too sad.
Too bad we need more hundreds episode to see the big good navy. What I mean big is good navy who are powerful. The good navy up until now we can see is only coby, nami's mother bellemere (she must be a captain at some point since she had the cloak) and maybe morgan's soldiers after morgan was arrested?. They are the kind of navy who are on people side. But yeah, sadly most of them was just bunch of people of powers who obey to the government and lots of them was corrupt behind the name of justice. There is one film of One Piece (the movies of one piece is unrelated to the canon or main story but the purpose is to give more entertainment to the fans and as advertising to the world of One Piece) who purposely showing how the navy/goverment can be corrupt - i mean we see this all over the journey of luffy and the strawhats but the movie is directly showing us how much corrupt they can be. I won't say what it was since you guys need to catch up like alot haha. And if you guys potentially curious i'm afraid i'll spoil you if i told you the name of that movie. The spoil is regarding to who will become other strawhats. So i will stop. Have fun guys!

This is the episode where people who decide to check out the show, either "check out" or *fall in love with it.*

GOTTA BOW DOWN to Nami's VA.
Absolutely stellar acting skill.
Entire time luffy was waiting to hear the words ''help me''. That why, he asks nami do you need help with anything.
Yesss that's such a good detail about Luffy's character. I like to think it says something about how you can't help somebody who doesn't WANT to be helped. That's why Luffy keeps asking and asking, until he finally hears it and knows its time to go
Luffy is all about free will

Not sure if it was a filler but zoro saved johnny and yosaku when he was still a bounty hunter. So they really respect him and try to pay back
it was anime original. occurs later.

27:09 Their names are Johhny and Yosaku.
luffy placing his hat on Nami, implying she is his treasure, was the moment I was hooked onto One Piece.
Luffy doesn't care about his crew mates past , he doesn't need a reason to help his friends . That's a major core of his character
the one piece episodes before this arc are wacky goofy adventures.
THIS is one piece.
welcome.
This episode still puts a tear in my
eye.
OP laughs are iconic Zehahaha

This is the episode that hooked me. Lifelong fan now.

That moment when Usopp has more plot armor than anyone else on the show LMAO
Johnny and Yosaku the homies.
Every fight of Luffy:-
Barges in to enemy territory
Ask who's the boss.
Beat the shit out of him.
Ah the Arlong Park walk, I dont even watch One Piece but I'll always remember this scene from when I first saw it.
Also to answer their question on why nami will not fight, well she shouldn’t have to. After everything she has been through and the trauma that has been dealt her, she probably is not in the right state of mind to face Arlong having someone to face that burden and lifting it off her shoulder

20:40 you will eat those words
They're messing with the God.
We got him boys he loves Nami's story.
You have to understand that the strawhats are very selfish people, especially luffy so don't be to suprised. But that's why we love them
Navy incompetent, corrupt, and useless? Yeah sounds like gmen
Welcome Nakama come to . Ch whatever ........ as soon as you can we Will be waiting for you!
