Sanji and Nami are fellow Straw Hat Pirates, meeting initially at the Baratie where Sanji, working as a waiter, professed his love to Nami. Despite Nami's confusion, she went along with it to get a free meal. When Nami temporarily left the crew, Luffy recruited Sanji before they departed from the Baratie. Sanji cited Nami as "98.72%" of the reason he decided to join the crew. During Nami's apparent alliance with Arlong, Sanji gave her the benefit of the doubt, against skepticism within the crew. Although Sanji is known for his attraction to most women, he holds Nami in the highest regard, using the "-san/swan" honorific only for her. In Nami's case, Sanji is the only crew member she addresses with the "-kun" honorific. While Nami doesn't share Sanji's romantic feelings, she deeply respects and values him as a friend and crew mate. She was visibly upset when he was taken away by the Big Mom Pirates. Nami appreciates Sanji's subservient nature, occasionally taking advantage, although she finds it tiresome at times. Nonetheless, they work exceptionally well together, both contributing significantly to the crew—Sanji with his cooking and combat skills and Nami with her intelligence and aptitude for navigation., At this moment, Nami does not have a romantic interest. Although she has been shipped with Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji (but, let’s face it, every good-looking girl has been shipped with Sanji at one point or another), none of these ships have been officially confirmed by Oda., Nami is the navigator for the Straw Hat Pirates, being one of the earliest to join the crew. She has proven to be an exceedingly talented navigator, being solely responsible for the crew's ability to journey across the seas, and to ultimately.
