ngl I mostly agree with your vision on most dynamics but i don’t feel like Nami would hate Pudding for a very long time. Sure she wouldn’t trust her at first but imo after getting to know her and her past she’d get super protective of her like she is with Vivi and Robin. I do think it would be more likely for Pudding to dislike Nami at first because maybe she’d be jealous of how close to Sanji she is but she’d warm up to her too eventually. But hey you’re free to portray these characters as you want so you can ignore this ask if it comes off as rude
(More of the polycule here in case someone reads this ask and doesn't understand what's going on)
I guess everybody has their own views! But I think we're low-key agreeing?? The chart doesn't explain EVERYTHING because it stops right when Pudding joins the crew/polycule. They obviously have a development! (wish I could fit everything in just one image).
I personally think Nami would absolutely loathe her at first, not even out of jealousy or anything like that, but because of what she did to her and Luffy (and Sanji, OBVIOUSLY but you know what I mean) back in WCI personally. Nami doesn't take shit from anyone and her trust issues are gigantic, she's also pretty resentful (and too forgiving at the same time somehow, my baby...). She logically knows Pudding is trying to change and in the end, Pudding DID end up becoming an ally. It isn't really because she's untrustworthy only, Nami is just resentful as hell and Pudding refuses to apologize properly too, when they meet again.
I think Nami would be open to talk and make up, and understand her, but Pudding would annoy the fuck out of her refusing to apologize and having one of her tantrums and Nami would be one insult away from throwing her off the ship (goes both ways).
I think they'd grow fond of each other at some point in their dynamic, but it would take time. Like, they'd have a very aggressive dynamic ONLY when Sanji isn't looking (because how the hell do they tell her her girlfriends don't get along?? It'd kill her-) (that also includes Usopp, btw, he doesn't like Pudding either, but his thing is more about jealousy than anything else and it's occasional. Also he's low-key scared of her), and imo their relationship would go from fighting, to hate-fucking (and loathing the fact that they low-key enjoy it), to being protective and fond of each other without admitting it.
The chart obviously doesn't explain everything, but I do think they'd end up caring for each other (although the fighting would still be present, idc). You can't waste an emotion as strong as hate on someone you don't care about, imo!
So the timeline for them specifically would be kind of like:
Pudding joins the crew and Sanji is excited for them to actually be together together, but obviously Nami and Usopp don't take it well, precisely. They ask Luffy if he's okay with this and he's just like, "I trust Sanji. If Sanji thinks it's cool, then it's cool. Also we get TWO COOKS".
Nami accepts that a bit reluctantly, but manages to see beyond what happened and tries to forgive Pudding. However, Pudding refuses to apologize because of course, Nami wants a proper, personal apology that isn't just "I helped you in the end so it should be enough" type of thing. They argue, nothing gets solved, they can't stand each other. Usopp tries to calm them down, he only is scared of them, lol.
Since Sanji is really worried and sad they don't get along, they end up making this sort of truce. They can hate each other all they want but they are not involving Sanji.
All of this develops into very hilarious little scenes in my head of them holding back from fighting when Sanji is around, yet having peaceful times together too! They just can't stand each other when they realize they don't stand each other. I mean, not to be the one who says it, but it's 100% Zosan coded. And I don't even like the ship that much but it's that type of dynamic. I do adore this, though.
Special mention to Usopp trying to get along with Pudding but being extra protective of Sanji after not being able to be there during WCI. It's a mix between being protective and jealous, because Pudding is a little shit too and they're 100% fighting whenever the other has Sanji's attention. Usopp tries to stop acting like this when Zoro says it's low-key pathetic. It kinda is. These two are dumbasses.
So Nami and Pudding don't get along like AT ALL but do have their emotional moments of "I'm just gonna sit here quietly while you're having a hard time but we better not say anything or we'll start fighting again". Besides, Pudding's change of attitude and personality would stress Nami a lot tbh. And Nami's more bossy personality would make Pudding's blood boil. Also, we're putting two very volatile girls next to each other, you either give them a common enemy or they end up killing each other. But they do care, in a way.
They end up hate-fucking somehow. One second they're arguing and the next they're making out. Nami has that effect, idc. Usopp ends up joining too at some point. The type of thing that would absolutely kill Sanji.
That's why they CAN'T tell Sanji. First, because it's embarrassing to even admit they fuck. Second, because Sanji's type of sex is DEFINITELY not theirs and the mere image of these three together would kill her. Third, "we can't possibly tell Sanji because then she'll think we actually do like each other and I'm so not spending time with you outside of this room!".
Mention to Vivi and Kaya knowing everything that's going on and doing absolutely nothing about it. They're just gossipping about this with each other. They're not dealing with this. Leave them out of this </3
So Sanji doesn't know they've been doing this until she almost catches them and thinks, stupidly enough, "Oh! They're finally getting along!" and tells Kaya and Vivi casually. They have to hold their hand and tell her what's actually happening.
Sanji's train of thought is kind of like: "WAIT THEY'VE BEEN DOING WHAT??" -> "WITHOUT ME?? 😟" -> "[nosebleed thinking about it] -> "WAIT NO WHY WOULD THEY HIDE IT FROM ME??" -> "This is actually the best thing that has ever happened to me"
I actually don't know how it plays out and I highly doubt she'd be angry angry, because she couldn't possibly be when it comes to them. But I do think she's also a little shit and we often forget she is. So she obviously tries to catch them together.
And when it happens, the whole "we're SO sorry, Sanji" is only like one minute long, because then the three of them are like "well, why would you be so angry when we can be together now" (< little shits. They don't care about sex right now low-key they just want to stop Sanji from being angry at them).
It 100% works because Sanji is stupid and so easy
It also can't happen because she almost dies from blood loss
It'll be years before they can do anything together, actually, and the sex between those three is too different from the one they have with Sanji, so, like... Idk how they'll manage
I personally think Pudding and Usopp still are jealous of each other but end up liking one another. I mean, Usopp is a storyteller and Pudding is a very fairytale themed girl. I'm sure she would be scarily invested in his stories! (like, VERY invested. Like, DEMANDING more stories and a perfect ending every time. Also making creepy twists, too. Usopp is so scared of her). And Usopo of course always enjoys good food, so he's never complaining about tasting whatever Pudding makes
Nami and Pudding, on the other hand, is still complicated. Because they for sure have their emotional moments, relating to each other's pasts and understanding why they acted the way they did. They support each other despite everything. And yeah, I think they have their fun, wholesome moments being on the same side of a fight or joke. BUT STILL! The core of their relationship is how passionate they are about each other and YES that includes fighting and being stressed about everything the other does. They annoy each other so much only by existing and I think that's beautiful
The point is, it doesn't matter whether or not they get along because all that energy can be used to make Sanji's blood pressure as high as possible and that's what's truly important
