00:00Oda has a very special bond with Nami.
00:02Oda's wife, Shiaki Inaba, was a famous cosplayer in the role of Nami at the Jump Festa of 2002 and 2003.
00:09And in fact, she even played that role on stage.
00:11That's when Oda noticed him.
00:13They started dating and their love blossomed around this character so dear to the series.
00:18They got married in 2004.
00:20Oda promised her that he would finish One Piece in 10 years so he could travel with her.
00:24But as you know, well, the series is still ongoing.
00:26This anecdote shows how closely Nami's work and private life are intertwined.
