Previously: A magic lamp containing a genie like creature, R. William, has been brought on board the Going-Merry. William agreed to grant the crew three wishes. Luffy who noticed Nami was in a bad mood thought out loud, ". . . I wish she was happy instead." Upon hearing this R. William shot an energy blast at Nami, who upon contact with the power collapsed to the ground. When Nami awakened she mistook Nico Robin for her dead foster mother Bellemere.

"I think he reverted Nami's mind back to when she was a little girl!" said Usopp. Luffy looked at R. William, and said, "Wow, that was cool, I didn't know you had that kind of power!" Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji all yelled at him, "THIS IS SERIOUS!" William just said, "Of course I have that kind of power, I after all am a Majin-Ningen." Luffy just sat there laughing saying how cool that was. Zoro glared at William and said, "I don't know exactly what you did, but you had better undo it and fast." William saw the very serious look on Zoro's face and noticed a similar look on Sanji's as well. With a sigh, William said, "I don't know why you guys are acting like this, I just did what you wanted. But since you all are going to be like this I'm going back into my lamp." With that said, William changed into a cloud of smoke and disappeared into his lamp. Sanji ran over to the lamp and demanded that he reappear, but nothing happened.

Usopp cried out, "Hey Luffy, this is serious what are we going to do?" Luffy thought a little and decided, "Lets ask Nami, she always knows what to do." Usopp commented, "Yeah, Nami always does-WHAT THE HELL ASK NAMI!?! SHE JUST GOT HER MIND ZAPPED!" Luffy walked over to Nami still holding onto Nico Robin, "So Nami, what do you think we should do?" Nami looked up from Robin to see Luffy, "Mister. . . do I know you?" Luffy just stood there with a blank look on his face, "Nami, of course you know me." Nami looked at him some more then turned to Robin, "Bellemere, do we know him?" Robin looked at Luffy, "It seems that she doesn't know or remember you Captain." Usopp though out-loud, "She doesn't know Luffy, but she thinks Robin is her mother. She might think the rest of us are people from her past as well. Zoro go talk to her, lets see if she remembers you." Zoro looked at Usopp, "That's your plan hope she thinks we're someone from her past, that has to be the stupidest-" Nami looked at Zoro and smiled yelling "Genzo! You're here too. . . hey, where is you windmill?" Zoro looked at her puzzled, "Genzo?" he looked at Usopp for hopefully some sort of explanation, "I think Genzo was that guy in the uniform from her island." Luffy smiled, "Oh yeah, the old man with the windmill on his head. Ha yeah, I forgot about him." Sanji laughed at Zoro, "Ha, you're an old man with a windmill on your head." Nami looked in the direction of Sanji and said, "Nojiko, is that you?" Sanji commented, "Nojiko? That name sounds familiar in a way, it must have been Nami-san's first love when she was growing up. Yes Nami-san, it is I Nojiko." Usopp though about it, "Hey, wasn't Nojiko the name of Nami's sister?" At that Sanji looked like he would go into shock any moment, "I may be an old man with a windmill, but you're a little girl in Nami's mind. Who do you think is the bigger joke?" commented Zoro. Chopper asked Nami if she recognized him at all and she said that he was the doctor from the village. Usopp smiled, "There can only be one person that the great 'Captain Usopp' can be, and that is the brave sea warrior who protects her from the dangers of the sea." Nami looked at Usopp and tears started forming in her eyes, she then ran behind Nico Robin and closed her eyes, and in a scared little voice said, "Bellemere, that man scares me, please make him go away!"

Usopp at that was very distressed, "Why did she act that way towards me, who could I possibly be?" Zoro looked Usopp from head to toe, and then it hit him, "There can only be one 'thing' that could generate that much emotion in her like that. She thinks you're Arlong." At the very name Nami shuttered. Usopp complained, "But how could I be Arlong, he appeared around the time that Bellemere died. If her mind says that Robin is Bellemere, then how could I be someone she hasn't met yet?" Robin replied, "Perhaps she was so affected by this 'Arlong' that her subconscious is warning her about him." "But why Arlong, I look nothing like that monster," complained Usopp. Luffy looked at Usopp, "Well, you both have long noses." "I'M BRANDED AS A MONSTER BECAUSE OF MY NOSE! THAT ISN'T FAIR!" cried Usopp.

"Well since all the re-introductions are over, we still need to figure out how to get her back to the way she was before," Zoro added, "Luffy since she doesn't know you maybe, you and Usopp should stay out of her way, but don't go too far Usopp. You seem to remember the story that Nojiko told us better than anyone else, so if anyone has any questions, it might be best to ask Usopp." Robin added, "That's a good idea, and also it may be best if we play along with this until we can find a way to restore her memory. In her present condition she might not be able to handle us doing otherwise. So we should all play the parts that she has given us. She seems to trust me the most, so I'll need to know all about her past so 'Mr. Sharpshooter' if you could please tell me what you know."

As Robin started to walk away she realized that Nami was still holding onto her. Robin turned and smiled, "Nami," at the mention of her name Nami looked at Robin, "I need to go talk with someone for a little while, please go with Genzo for a walk." Nami looked at Zoro and then walked over to him and took his hand, "So Genzo, where are we going?" Zoro looked confused, "Uh, for a walk." "Where?" "Well, around. . . I guess." "Are we going to look for your windmill?" "Yeah, sure."

With that done Robin and Usopp walked off to talk about Nami's past. Sanji grumbled to himself and went back to the kitchen to cook. Chopper went back to his room to study some of his books. Luffy having nowhere else to go, went to the back of the boat and stared at the South Bird. Luffy then moved the South Bird's head to it's right, and in a few seconds, its head like clockwork went back to the previous way it was facing.
