āæ Send this to 10 other bloggers that you think are wonderful. Keep the game going, make someone smile! āæ Captain, where are you ~~
Ah sorry, Iāve been sooo busy lately :/ I barely get time to spend on tumblr/OJ for more than a handful of min. But Iām still checking in on OJ once in a while so Iām not gone yet :D
Thank you for bringing this up! You actually got a point here: we saw Pudding falling for Sanji but we donāt know if the thing is reciprocated.
In late chapters, even after the whole āhusband and wife in disguiseā thing, Sanji has been keeping a serious attitude, which is weird since Sanjiās lovecook gags were the ones to appear the most, even in the most crucial moments of the storyā¦ maybe because Pudding took his place? Who knows.
There are tons of ways to interpret the story right now. The way I personally choose to see things is that Sanji finally found the girl he has been dreaming of ever since he was a baby.
To answer to your question, I will explain my five reasons why I believe (hope ahahah) Pudding is different at his eyes:
Disclaimer: everything youāll read from now on is just my personal opinion; which means you are absolutely free to disagree with what I think.
1.
Pudding is the first person he totally opened up to. Not even Luffy and his crew knew anything about his real family or his past. He showed her all of his weaknesses and insecurities while he is the guy who always tries to look tough in front of literally everyone, ladies in particular. I donāt remember a single time Sanji gave this much trust to anybody else.
2.
This one here is the FIRST TIME EVER Sanji makes a sincere compliment to a girl without it being a gag moment. Look at his face, his eyes are sparkling and his cheeks are red. Sanji usually takes a girlās beauty for granted but he didnāt with Pudding!
As for the most recent chapters, I noticed Sanji is going way less and less lovey-dovey to Pudding. Right now, in his eyes, she is not another one of those angelic beings known as women, sheās just a skilled chocolatier who is helping his crew to escape.
3.
I canāt even imagine how Sanji must have been feeling flattered and excited knowing that, in the whole world, a single girl who likes him back (heart-eyes level) actually exists and sheās also coincidentially his almost-wife ahahah
I donāt know how many times he dreamt of something like this: cooking together with a girl who simply loves him. Thatās all.
On a sidenote, if Sanji is the one to like every type of girl, Pudding herself IS every possible type girl! She can go from being the harsh femme fatale to the cutest and girliest lady in the world.
4.
PUDDING. IS. THE. FIRST. GIRL. EVER. WHO. BROKE. SANJIāS. HEART.
How many times did girls insult him and/or turn him down? We all know this happens on daily basis. Does he cry like this everytime it happens? Nope. This was the only time in his life he actually believed in a single girlās love and her refusal broke him to pieces.
What a weak argument when talking about SanPu, huh? It is undeniable though how much this thing changed him on a personal level: she taught him to put his wishes first, she taught him that girls can be different from what he actually believes them to be and this whole thing gave him the strenght to go back to Luffy.
Besides, even after Pudding betrayed his trust, he never hated her for that. On the contrary: he kept respecting her, protecting her, he was shown to genuinely care about her well-being and, most importantly, he still trusted her when she proposed the cake plan.
5.
I often read comments about how somebody with a power like Pudding is too dangerous to be trusted. However, I find this to be the final connection between Sanji and Pudding.
In a world perfectly devided in four sections with four equally large oceans, itās physically impossible to prove the existence of a fifth ocean that connects them all, the All Blue; only a fool would believe the stories they tell about it. And yet Sanji still stands on that boat, sailing to find it. This whole thing speaks volumes about what āhaving faithā really means.
Thus, who in the world can even trust a good actress with three eyes and a power able to change your past and destroy your personality with a snap of her fingers, if not a man looking for the All Blue?
To conclude I only want to add that I also consider relevant the fact that she was written to be a perfect match for Sanji: they spent similar childhoods due to their abusive families, they are big thinkers who tend to make big decisions and to act alone (see Sanji Mr. Prince moments and the whole Pudding attacking Reiju deal), they both had to hide an eye under their bangs for various reasons and a lot more stuff.
Also, the fact that they both share interests and passions is great in my eyes; I NEVER would have wanted Sanji to end up with a girl who doesnāt look at food the way he does.
Iām done now. Thank you so much for your ask and for following my blog!
Have a wonderful day!!

Most people who ship Luhan only think about Hancock, not Luffy. Some people said that we need to ship Luhan because Hancock love Luffy and she deserve to be happy. But what about Luffy? Just because someone already love him/her, then we need to support them? Sorry for send this ask to you. I have an argument with someone who force me to ship Luhan and saying Lunami suck
Luffy already made his intentions clear. He rejected her twice, no ambiguity on his feelings there.
When some fans say things like: "Luffy gave his hat to Usopp and Vivi too' or "Oda said Luffy was only copying Usopp when he saw Nami naked." about LuNa, Do you ever just think like, about how not much importance is given by Oda-sensei to panels when the hat was given to other crewmates besides Nami? And even if Luffy just copied Usopp, how he made BOTH the times Luffy reacted to a woman's body, only about NAMI. Bec I certainly do.
Yep same here
I don't like Nami. Please don't ship her with Luffy. And why she still not die with all hits that she get
Queens donāt die easily.
Do you think Monet really dead? I read a theory somewhere, they said that she's actually still alive. And many people said, she has a higher chance to join Luffy and others as Strawhat member. And since Strawhat pirate doesn't have logia type, she'll be the one. I don't know, I think many people want her to be alive and become a Strawhat member. I think she's also similar to Robin.
I think she is certainly dead
I feel like Luffy and Nami have a better chance of happening because the hints are kind of.. not so obvious. It makes sense because One Piece is a shounen manga and the main focus is not romance. With Sanji and Hancock it's more straightforward or it's for comedy. It feels more likely for Luffy and Nami to happen than with Luffy/Hancock or Sanji/Nami for me.
I agree, I feel the same way. I think that the hints we get are in line for a shounen focused on boys and adventure.
Why Iāve started to hardcore ship LuNa
Iām a newbie when it comes to One Piece. After a couple years of seeing One Piece on my peripheral (itās impossible not to notice, especially when youāre deep in the Dragon Ball fandom) I put aside my hesitations (the length is scary to an outsider!) and began to watch.
Everyone in the One Piece fandom knows this already, but Oda truly is a genius. After hearing for years how complex the world of One Piece was, I STILL wasnāt prepared for how intricate the story is, yet it manages to work within the boundaries of a battle shonen.
When watching One Piece, I got the sense that Nami and Zoro love and understand their Captain the most. Please hear me; Iām not saying the other Strawhatās donāt love Luffy, because they most certainly do, but the other Strawhat pirates seem to focus on the group as a whole with Luffy at the center. However, itās Zoro and Nami that constantly keep their attention on Luffy specifically.
Zoro made this clear to me during Thriller Bark Arc. Sanji was there and willing to risk his life, but it was Zoro who gladly accepted Luffyās pain. He wasnāt doing it for the crew, he did it for Luffy. Zoroās love for Luffy isnāt the romantic sort, but itās steeped in admiration, belief, and loyalty. Zoro may be one of the quietest crew members, but his silence doesnāt mean apathy.
Zoroās protection of Luffy carries a lot of weight, because I would argue that Luffy is one of the most vulnerable out of all the Shonen heroes. Despite the fact I know Luffy wonāt die (wellā¦at least, not in the middle of the story, but thatās another discussion) Iām afraid for him. I think the last time I saw a shonen hero get his ass kicked as thoroughly as Luffy did pre-time skip was Goku when he was a child and faced off against Piccolo Daimao. But One Piece REALLY hammers in Luffyās weakness in that section of the story. And Luffy overcomes a lot and is very strong, but in a world full of overpowered opponents who want to see Luffy dead, thereās a true sense of vulnerability. He isnāt the strongest, not by a long shot.
Nami, on the other hand, seems to feel just as protective of Luffy as Zoro, but her reason for this is entirely different than Zoroās.Ā
Unlike a lot of other relationships in Shonen manga, Nami and Luffyās relationship is built upon mutual trust. They respect one another. Nami believes in Luffy and her faith is unwavering, but she also knows Luffy will charge into a situation without even thinking about the consequences to himself. She cares for his wellbeing more than he cares for it, and this attention to Luffyās person only seems to grow as time goes on in the story. Of course, Nami cares for everyone in the crew, but I donāt see her focus constantly on the wellbeing of other members.
More and more often I see Nami turning to Luffy first, asking about him first, and putting her life on the line for him first. Nami also shares her vulnerabilities with Luffy. In WCI, I see this mutual dependence, trust, and focus on one another deepening.
And honestly, this is how healthy relationships work in the real world. If you want to have a meaningful relationship, it has to be about more than attraction. It has to contain trust, common goals, common interests and security. Ā
Which is why Iām puzzled by Sanji/Nami shippers. I donāt mean to be disrespectful towards anyoneās ship, but I canāt see why anyone would want Sanji and Nami to be together. Sanji, as much as I enjoy his character, fawns over every single beautiful woman he sees. I donāt deny that Sanji seems to place a greater emphasis on Nami (ex. he always puts her name first before Robinās) but to me, this isnāt a good enough reason for them to have a relationship. Sanji likes Nami because sheās beautiful. If she was an ugly woman, would Sanji even give Nami the time or day?
I highly doubt it.
In contrast, Luffyās trust and focus on Nami has nothing to do with her looks. Itās because of who she is as a person. Luffy, whether he realizes it or not, feels a pull towards Nami, and itās something I began to notice this more and more the further I got into One Piece. Luffy also has confidence in Nami, but he still feelsā¦rather protective of her. Even in the beginning of One Piece when I wouldnāt really call any of their interactions romantic, theyāre both focused on each other.
I love Luffy and Nami. Their care for each other is what makes me root for them. I want them to find happiness in romance because they already have everything they need to succeed. Every king needs his queen, and Nami is more than worthy of the title. I love how strong, brave, and selfless she is.
I find it quite interesting how Oda used Strong World and Gold to re-emphasize Luffy and Namiās relationship. I know their relationship isnāt the focal point of One Piece, but Oda could choose to write about anything, especially when it comes to movies. For Strong World, he had complete creative control since he wrote the script. For Gold, Oda served as executive producer for the movie and rewrote the ending for Gold.Ā
With Oda being such a calculated writer, it doesnāt seem possible that heād write Nami and Luffy with these moments ājust becauseā or without meaning. Oda is a planner. A small example would be him revealing his idea for Fishman Island in the chapter 121 SBS volume to a kid who asked about Fishman Karate. Oda said, āItās halfway down the Grand Line which I will tell you about at some point. Please be patientā. The crew didnāt make it to Fishman Island until chapter 608.
I recognize that many Mangaka tease relationships but ultimately have them go nowhere or stay unofficial (Iām looking at you Hiro Mashima), so itās entirely possible Oda will do the same, though I have faith heās a better writer. But if that happens and someday far down the line One Piece ends without anything happening between the two, I will still ship them, and I will thank Oda for writing such a meaningful friendship.
But I really hope Luffy and Nami have explicit romance in their future. That would be rather wonderful, donāt you think?
Awesome write up!
Do you have a plan to make a discord for lunami fans?
Hmm sounds like an interesting idea. Right now we all chat and discuss over at OJ but a discord might be a nice alternative. Iāll probably make one soon and let you guys know. :)
Hello ^ ^ what do you think will happen in the next op chapters? I know it's unpredictable but I'm curious to know your opinion about it. Do you think Luffy will still be in the mirror world when Nami and the others will arrive at Cacao Island? If yes, do you think Nami will be mad because Luffy lied to them? do you think she will want to join him? or it will be someone else like Sanji? and when Luffy will come back, what will be Nami reaction: relieved?, mad? or cry because she was worried?
I think Luffy will make good on his promise to beat Katakuri and return to Cacao Island by the time Nami and the others reach it. I do think she will be extremely relieved and we may get a nice moment between them when they reunite in peace. Idk if she will be mad, but it could be possible.
Can you explain why you have a reason to believe that we will get to know more about Nami's origin? Aren't her background story already explained long time ago during Arlong arc? And what do you mean by she's not a normal human? I think, among Strawhat crew, she's the only one who looks like normal human than other crew.
Itās been noted several times by other Characters that Namiās sense of the weather is not normal, and also, she was able to master the rider in Skypeia right away, despite them saying that it takes a while to master. That along with other things give me reason to believe that we will get some sort of explanation soon as to why she is able to have this extraordinary sense of weather and her ability to master a foreign invention without a momentās practice.
If you want, check out @neomarines post on Nami and speculation on her origin. It might introduce some thought provoking material to think about.
As lunami shipper, don't you feel a bit nervous during reverie arc? I mean, vivi also going there, what if there's luvi moment in the future. For me, instead of luhan, I find luvi more threatened than luhan. One more question, do you know how old is Pudding and Coby?
I donāt find LuVi threatening. They would make a nice ship, but Oda has not done anything beyond her arc which would make me consider it a plausible possibility towards the end.
Coby is presumably 17 years old, and Iām not sure about Pudding. I can only guess that she is Sanjiās age or 1-2 years younger.
Not A Troll
I just got blocked and called a troll. Despite the fact that Fox themselves was saying that itās okay to speak opinions. Even if they are negative ones. Calling out damage control is not trolling. Especially when itās very egregious damage control. And not having any of my criticisms addressed just prove to me how weak the argument was to begin with. @The Nur Factor you assumed I was a troll, when I have only been debating with fox. My last post only addressed why such an post needed to exist. I was tiered of my claims not being addressed and misinterpreted. Now I canāt even get a response! So I guess thanks for calling me a troll when I wasnāt one.
Donāt worry man, some people get accusatory when dealt with logic or an opinion that they canāt handle. Even if they āstateā they are open, they are not. Itās all false courtesies that they display so they can attack or put down another personās/groupās opinion without backlash.
Honestly I don't get what the big deal is about "dorobo neko" and Nami. I didn't think whoever made that post was disrespecting Nami's character or the sanami fandom either. It's a theory, like other lunami/luhan or any other shippers make. Like, how most lunami shippers think that luhan hints are less same goes for sanami fans about luna. Well i guess there are people like that on both sides and everybody has their own opinion.
Yea everyone has their opinion. Thatās why you shouldnāt get bothered by anything a certain person/group says. Thereās too many opinions out there and not enough time to care about all of them.
I just hope that when One Piece ends, the fandom won't be divided because of shipping. Anyway, keep up your work. š¤ā
Iām sure it wonāt be too divided, Oda will probably make the ships clear and well explained by the time we get towards the end, if we get any that is. And thank you!!!
