However, when their story surfaced, fans were quick to point out that Oda-Sensei had married a character who looked like Nami in real life.

As a result, in r/OnePiece, a post was uploaded stating Chiaki Inaba’s work as the “Best cosplay performance in history.” The users were blown away by the striking resemblance as they sang praises of the former cosplayer.
Nevertheless, it turns out Nami has not only become a crucial part of the anime and manga series but also in the life of Eiichiro Oda.
