Nami is formerly a renowned female thief that would steal only from pirates. She is quite greedy and hot tempered, but is also very intelligent and kind, occasionally. She is anything but interested in joining Luffy's crew at first. But after an incident with Buggy the Clown, Nami forms a temporary alliance with Luffy.

Nami is an orphan found by Belle-Mère, a female naval marine, on a battlefield as an infant. The marine adopted her along with Nojiko, another child, and the three became as close as a real family. However, this ended when the infamous Fish-man Pirate Arlong took over their village.

Because Belle-Mère could not pay for her entire family's monthly fee for living, Belle-Mère resisted Arlong and was killed. In the original Japanese versions and the American manga she was murdered in front of Nami and Nojiko. In the English anime, she was taken to Arlong's dungeon and killed off-screen. Then Nami was kidnapped and forced to become a Map Maker for Arlong. However, Arlong struck a deal with Nami: if she brought him one hundred million Berries, he would free her village. She spent eight years making maps and stealing treasure from Pirates in order to buy back her village. It was during this time that she met Luffy during the situation with Buggy in Orange Town (as seen in the Buggy the Clown Arc) and temporaily joined up him with the reasoning that she will get most of the treasure that is found.

After helping defeat Kuro in Syrup Village (i.e: Captain Kuro arc), and reaching the Baratie restaurant with Luffy, Nami took off with the crews loot and ship and headed for Arlong Park. Nami was only 7 million berries short of fulfilling her end of the deal, but Arlong shamelessly used a corrupt band of marines to steal all the money, thus ensuring that Nami would forever be in his crew, without breaking his promise.

Later, after Luffy arrives and seeing how distraught Nami is, goes and deals with Arlong. Nami's village is freed, Nami rejoins Luffy's crew as a permanent member.

Nami uses a three piece staff to fight with, and during the Alabasta arc and beyond, uses a weather manipulating staff Usopp created for her, the Clima-Tact, to fight. The weapon is actually partly used for party tricks, but using certain combinations, Nami turns the tomfoolery of Usopp into a deadly force to be reckoned with, and is able to defeat one of the strongest members of the Baroque Works, Miss Doublefinger, and later, two of Skypiea's Priests, Kotori and Hotori. In the current Arc of Water 7, it has been revealed in Chapter 403 that Nami will take on Califa, to avenge Sanji's loss (because he refused to hit a girl).

Currently, Nami has been given a Dial enhanced Clima-Tact, the "Perfect Clima-Tact", by Usopp. The new weapon was powerful enough to wipe out an entire group of soldiers. However, it has a weakness; the inability to differentiate between friend and foe.
