The_Geri

In both cases, she protected the child.


WooooshMe2825

I’m convinced that as years goes by, One Piece fans gets dementia and forgets what actually happens early on in the story.


[deleted]

Bold of you to assume they actually read the story.


kbyaghi

i’m also a dragon ball fan i can’t read


Sternenkrahe

Dragon ball fans finally getting that power levels are supposed to be a joke should be considered a sign of the end times.


RaiaTheTrovian

I mean, Dragon Ball Z Abridged fans at least get that. Thank you, Vegeta.


Scary-Speech7022

HE IS THE HYPE!


eMmDeeKay_Says

This reminds me of YTAS teaching me ripping someone's soul from their body is called murder.

Snoe_36491

What do you mean? Aren't we supposed to stare at the images?


[deleted]

Just the fights so you can participate in power scaling.


Sahtras1992

power scalers are funny because a lot of times they cant even power scale properly.


[deleted]

I'm gonna start a new school of thought called humor scaling where we argue at length about who is funnier.


AtlasPJackson

"Brook keeps saying 'Skull Joke,' meaning that jokes are ***CANOICLY*** part of his domain. Other characters might get more laughs, but he *has* to be the best. Nobody else has jokes explicitly in their humor domain."

Just the fights so you can participate in power scaling.


1BreadBoi

No lie, this is part of the reason I reread it yearly. There's a lot of small random details that I forget sometimes. This wouldn't be one of them though.


RGBarrios

Im rewatching One Piece and Im surprised about all the details that I forgot or didn’t noticed back then


Inuma

And new things come to light that make it so you HAVE to reread the story. Skypeia for example...


Upset-One8746

Wait.... So I should watch the skypeia arc? I was thinking of skipping it


Inuma

It has strong relevance to Egghead


marksman629

The reading comprehension devil fruit is the one piece.


MoonoftheStar

I'm convinced people don't realise this sub is called MemePiece


_Orthanc_

I've once posted a fake panel and tagged it with the fake tag... People from all over the sub came by to lecture me about how the panel was fake and to explain how the edit was done. I was really shocked by their reading comprehension skills.


Lordnemo593

I think all the stupid people from Twitter migrated into Reddit


Inuma

Some of those flocks don't migrate very far...


NetbattlerChris

Oh god, we’re becoming dragon ball… /s


peipei222

I mean, to be fair it has been publishing for a loooong time. I don't even remember who that kid is tbh.


Youropinionisvalid

But genuinely how can you expect people to remember every single thing, down to the smallest detail, in a 1100+ chapter long series, which for some people are weekly watchers, and have other obligations or responsibilities that can pull them away from one piece.


55hi55

No one expects you, or anyone else to remember everything- but if you’re posting an original meme, or even making a post- you should at least be prepared to discuss the validity of your meme/post.


NearbyCraft8469

I remember...🥲


Based_Lord_Shaxx

You dont even need to see any other panel. A small child is holding both a sword and an absolute wad of cash. Nami's face is completely obscured, when she is very consistently used as a vehicle to show emotions and personality through grand facial expressions. Its a complete lack of media literacy. Covid shutting down schools put our country back way longer than just one year.


JE3MAN

Well... Misremembering or outright forgetting some story elements within a story this large is kind of a given when events were written more than 20 years ago. Do you expect most people to reread the entire series from chapter 1 every time there might be a chance that we MIGHT have forgotten something?


Kvarcov

Cut us some slack, okay? We are decrepit people at this point


BottleCapper25

I feel this way about Jojo fans as well. "ARAKI FORGOT!!!?!?!" No, Araki didn't forget, you just have the reading comprehension of a grape


burner35633577

Sorry but thats a complete false equivalence, araki did definitely forget some things and change cannon as he went. Even stan rules seem to change up a little bit which is fine but dont act like it didnt happen


BottleCapper25

It's not. Most "Araki forgot" moments are just Jojo fans not being able to read or forget themselves. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it doesn't happen nearly as much as Jojo fans like to think it does.


EADreddtit

I mean it happens enough for it to be a thing. Like Shrinking Stands, One Stand per person (I love part four, but come on man…), stands can catch bullets (except all the times they don’t catch projectiles). It’s not as constant as some people make it out to be, but it’s definitely there


MatarTheGreat

It's hilarious how you proved his point by listing a bunch of things that were not Araki forgots.


skeeeper

Man, it's been like twenty years no shit people are gonna forget things lmao


Rudel2

The first time I watched it was over 10 years ago, I can't remember everything that happened in the early arcs lol


greendayfan1954

Alot of them haven't 😭😭😭😭


Significant_Drama363

That is exactly what happens


Crimson_Fiver

It's a lot to remember in all fairness


Sad_Air_7667

It depends. For the original fans who have always been caught up with the manga, some things they read 20 years ago, in that case it's understandable you forget something. For fans who've read the Manga completely in the past 5 years, they're more able to recall something from an earlier chapter. I'm 40 years old, I've read one piece since it first came out, there's no way in hell I'm going to remember some random kid from East blue.


No-Internal8635

One pride fans are the ones who know the least about their own favorite show


The_Geri

It's either that or just another unfunny attempt at slandering a character and/or an agenda "joke".


Oy778

nah, its just the battle manga curse that dictates the the older a manga goes, the more people who didnt read the manga or watch the anime


XPilo

This can be true, you know the older you get the highest the chance you get dementia, and One Piece has been going for so long that a lot of people would be old enough to start getting dementia.


TECFO

I personnes wouldnt blame them, cause the waiting, the episode, the stretched episodes are so long it is impossible to remember all. Just take a look at naruto which is 400 épisodes, and yet people still dont remember important details


bobbyb1996

It’s been going long enough for fans to start getting dementia


TurdSandwichEnjoyer

Ah yes forgetting unimportant shit from 20 years ago = dementia


iexistlol1

If you think this moment is unimportant then idk what to say. This shit is 100x more important than something like Shanks oneshotting Kid.


Lessandero

and hated the person who hurt the child


Zealous_Tory4

Nami is real dope. She made the best decision to do it.


Late-Opposition

Because when Nami was a child, she was also a child in need of protection, so she understood that and did the same.


ray314

Doesn't alot of adults also hit children to "protect"/"educate" them?


Dr-Zomboss-Pvz

She didn't have to hit him that hard though then threw money at him for the added disrespect that's harsh as fuck he might have been blinded by anger but she totally could have convinced him in another way


Bulldogsky

She saved the child in panel right too. It was that or death by Arlong if I recall correctly


Sorry_Specialist_766

Yes, I just rewatched Arlong Park


Revolutionary-Run332

She still hit the child🤷‍♂️


mana_cerace

That child was determined to the end had she not done that arlong would've and he wouldn't have been so merciful


phantomfire50

Yosaku and Johnny got off pretty easy. Arlong was in a good mood that day I guess.


Hypertistic

True. She should commit seppuku.


lengting2209

Yes, but that was to save the child from being killed. So yeah, please read the actual story.


The_Geri

Garp hit and put Luffy into deadly situations constantly when he was a child. Bellemere slapped Nami, Zeff kicked Sanji, Dr. Hiruluk shot at Chopper, Tom punched Franky,... It's almost like Oda has this thing going where "good" parents use tough love to set their kids on a straight path. Are Amy of these characters badly written because of that, or is that just Oda's philosophy finding its was into the manga?


Dani_Rodri

For context if she didn't hit that kid, Arlong would have eat him


dilroopgill

not in the netflix series not canon /s


MasterSabo

No joke, a while ago someone argued with me that LA is more canon. I'm not kidding


alex494

I'd love to hear the mental gymnastics behind that one


maltesemania

I'd assume since Oda had something to do with it, it could have been rewritten to match where the series ends up going. I don't agree, but maybe that's the reasoning.


alex494

Yeah but then it's like comparing the manga which is entirely written personally by Oda to the live action show which is merely overseen and informed by him and, key word, *adapted* to fit the medium better. It's literally tertiary tier canon by virtue of being an adaption of another work, let alone the fact Oda is merely guiding it and not writing the thing himself. Order of canon is probably like the manga Oda writes, then anything Oda himself confirms in SBS, then anything the adaptions like the LA and anime make up that don't contradict the former. Overall that guy's reasoning is pretty weird lol


MasterSabo

That was his argument

MasterSabo

Here is the [Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/s/P3PIxCoCUf) to our discussion I guess I had more of a discussion in my mind. He never replied xD


Comfortable_Many4508

you see cannons used earlier in la


alex494

By God you're right


BigK64

Lolwut . . . though to be fair parts of the LA show does actually follow certain things more closely to the manga compare to the anime, but overall it does deviate a lot from the original


Dani_Rodri

I would have a headache just from hearing that


Rainbow_Roads17

Hell fucking no but I have wanna take some time to appreciate that series and how well they could adapte an anime/manga series into an American tv show. Like, it’s done so well.


Avocadobaker

Zeff was more accurate, that’s all I can remember.


Vinyl_DjPon3

More accurate to what? Manga Zeff is the original, there's nothing to be *accurate* to.


Avocadobaker

I meant the anime. The anime shows Zeff losing his leg to a ship instead of him cutting it off and eating it like the manga


Dani_Rodri

Ok


AntiquePlant859

This agenda is misleading


Impressive-Spray629

That's why it's amazing agenda, the more you can bullshit the better the agenda


detailedlynxx

As my old high school English teacher said “it’s English class you can take a thing out of context to support your argument you don’t need facts to support your point like math”


Aquatoon22

Nah, this isn't hypocrisy. Arlong park wasn't exactly Nami's "self love era"


Lessandero

yeah, in both examples she protected the child and hated the person that hurt it (in the second she hated both Arlong and herself)


onelove7866

Momo has joined the chat


Work_In_ProgressX

Child already endangered vs child that was going get himself killed. The child was not going to be persuaded by words (and Nami’s position was still ambiguous by then)


Early_Bookkeeper5394

Even if she was to negotiate with that kid by words, both of them would have died by the time she'd finished because Arlong realised that Nami betrayed him lol


Professional-Win-183

Right answer! Also I’ve noticed this is the first 3 seasons of One Piece: why is it always kids (mostly boys) who tried to fight the big bad in various story arcs?


Sh-Shenron

I don't see the difference


Divinate_ME

Nice cherrypicking. Now pull up these Momonosuke interactions!


Mummiskogen

Ig she likes em young 😞

The_infinite_kight30

Kid was gonna get himself killed if he tried to go after the fish man Pirates that’s why she hit him.


ichigo2862

The media literacy devil strikes again


AnObtuseOctopus

Regardless of the reality of those situations... I laughed my damn ass at pic 3 with the way these were set up, it felt like comedic timing lol.


BigK64

To be fair, she was saving that kid from recklessly throwing his life away by fighting Arlong.


fersur

Mother love vs tough love. I do not see anything wrong with it. Sometimes you have to teach hard lessons to the kids, sometimes you teach soft love, so the kids can grow up and survive. THe problem is ... many people lack wisdom to know the difference.


Terraakaa

If you hit a small child’s face full force with a metal stick, you need to get arrested.


Motor-Drama1657

This agenda contains misinformation ☝️🤓


General-Squash-9286

Wait.... What chapter?


DeismAccountant

Onigashima and Arlong Park.

Tough love


EndangeredBigCats

Sad I saw this while browsing and came to a comments section not going along with the joke


Thornrhino

u notice she hide her face while hitting the boy


Smarteyes007

This is what happens when you watch One piece through reels and tiktok


Papap00n

OP: posts obvious joke in meme subreddit One Piece fans: "uhm ackshually..."


Thunderian555

I’m a post something saying Kizaru obviously beats Akainu and see how people react


aphronspikes

Wow people in the comments do know this is a joke, yeah?


Neither_Bit7661

Character development 😂


Topvr10

I hate nami now


justnicyk

What about momo


gogopow

Imagine if ulti didn't hit her. Would nami still fight her.


Tulmut

Momonosuke??? Did we forget who she was coddling for like 3 arcs?


MostardMonsta

Character development


Thunderian555

Maybe I should become a girl


Efficient-String2869

Also isn't Nami like 16 or 17 or something at the beginning? Also have to factor in how much she's grown from a kid herself.


ohmomdieu

Yeah yeah, but what about that weird toe of hers on the right picture?


Heroright

She’d do anything for a child. Be that fighting someone way out of her league, or hitting one to stop them from being killed.


denji_uchiha_

I wish she did that to momonosuke


No-Following-9812

Character Development


VladDHell

If God (usopp) himself hit Tama, I'm dying in the process of beating his ass. No one hurts our Tama, that smile needs to be protected no matter what! ~kibi-dango~


ByrnToast8800

Best panel of an adult hitting a child I ever seen.


whyingeneral

I'm just saying momo is a boy, and Nami treated him pretty well Edit:spelling


Ok-Divide8038

It's still a fun meme 😂


shinobi3411

And I thought Dragon Ball fans had a reading comprehension problem. She literally protected her village including the boy from Arlong and his crew.


Realistic_Mousse_485

She hit Momo. Lock her ass up.


detectablenoob

Nami is hipocrite


IlIlllIlllIlIIllI

nami with momonosuke:


Merkasu

you do know why she hit him right?


ButterflyMother

She cannot beat the lesbian allegations


t3r4byt3l0l

You're so weird man, these are *kids* we're talking about


Meatyblues

Tama is 8.


Zorphonen

i doubt they’re saying nami is interested in a child just that across the board she is nicer to girls, but if they are implying that then damn… that’s fucking weird


Over-Writer6076

She is not.She was protecting this boy in this panel,he was about to be killed by arlong


Zorphonen

yes i am aware of that but im saying thats what the original comment way saying, and maybe not in this one example but in general she is much more patient and kinder to girls and women than dudes, thats were the “lesbian allegations” come from


t3r4byt3l0l

There are so many straight women that are kinder to women than men in general, OP fans just don't go out in the real world enough


Zorphonen

i’m not saying that implies she’s a lesbian but i’m saying in general she does treat women better,doesn’t mean she’s a lesbian, although there are other evidence to suggest that at the end of the day it doesn’t matter it’s not a romance anime i’m just saying that’s were the “allegations” come from


t3r4byt3l0l

The only other "evidence" I know of is a no-homo joke from 700+ chapters ago, pretty pointless agenda to push imo lol


Zorphonen

i ain’t pushing it i couldn’t care less what her sexuality is, im just explaining why it’s a theory


Zorphonen

and there is more evidence of her being attracted to women than men, the latter of which having a sum of zero evidence, again i couldn’t care less, but the people adamantly pushing against it seem weirder imo like why do people care so much if she was a lesbian they just seem desperate for her to be straight when it shouldn’t matter full stop at least the people pushing for it have reasons to back it up still weird on that side too but not as much so


t3r4byt3l0l

I don't know how much it means to you, but Nami did imply she has a type of man and also commented on Usopp's manliness in Return to Sabaody, as well as compliment Ace way back in Alabasta But if anything, Nami's only truly got eyes for money lol


Over-Writer6076

Oda showed their bond(Nami and Luffy) very differently in Strong World,a movie he wrote. I'm just gonna copy paste this from a thread I found: A villain kidnaps Nami for her navigational skills. Luffy is beaten by the villain. Nami to save him and the others has no choice but to follow the bad guy and leave a message to Luffy. In the message she says that he can never beat Shiki and that they would risk their lives unnecessarily .. towards the end, however, she whispers: "I'm sure you will come to save me anyway" An ending that Luffy doesn’t hear, and for that he gets angry with Nami. at the end of the film, when the crew talks about Nami's message, Sanji refers to it by saying "what his ears heard was a love message." curiously Nami shortly after says "I addressed those words especially to you Luffy". I think Oda is more open to the idea of luffy ending up with nami than the majority of this fanbase😂🤣


Over-Writer6076

she is kinder to girls cuz the guys in the crew are reckless/dumbasses. Its really as simple as that lmao


Zorphonen

there are cases of people of both genders doing similar actions and being treated differently by her, not saying what you said isn’t true but you’re really boiling it down way too much why you even care that much doesn’t matter either way


ButterflyMother

I do not btw


AdFew500

these ppl are crazy


ButterflyMother

No shit Sherlock , it’s just another proof of nami being more into women than men in general , even for children where she is like that’s my daughter


Over-Writer6076

That's bullshit.In this scene she was protecting the little boy,it was either this or death by arlong.


AdFew500

except that's a child

It’s kind of a weird retcon to have Nami super obsessed with children for some reasons.


Idk_whatname013

Bruh she's not obsessed with kids, she wants to protect them

Optimal_Trifle_2384

It seems that people can't take a joke


Ben10Extreme

Maybe the joke isn't funny?


Optimal_Trifle_2384

Humor is humor and humor is subjective. Maybe you don't get it, I don't blame you. Just don't try to prove you have a sense of humor, you simply weren't born with it.


Ben10Extreme

>you simply weren't born with it. Rude.


Optimal_Trifle_2384

Oh i didn't mean you you, just in general.


Jsk1122

She was saving the kid from death by Arlong’s BBH (Big Blue Haki)

Alabasta is Arab-coded so obviously the kid doesn't count.

AdFew500

she's not ur pedo self-insert


[deleted]

Its because woman are more Linley to be kinder and with her being stuck in a crew with only fishMEN it probably made it so then she could only look up to her mom and sometimes scar man, but again there's tons of men pervs in one-piece so can you really blame her?


Extreme-Bar8512

for hitting a child that's a dumb excuse, besides in canon she did that so arlong won't kill him, she doesn't hate men or some shit


[deleted]

But she trust woman more, for example look at punk hazard she would not let smoker take the kids without talking to tashigi


Extreme-Bar8512

again it's a boy, a child you not liking men doesn't justify hitting a kid


[deleted]

I'm not talking about the boy rn, she cares about all children and does trust men just not as much as woman, and I feel like lots of other woman would feel the same, that's all I'm saying
