The Hat

...

Nami wonders why she's the one that always ends up with Luffy's straw hat. She feels undeserving of his treasure. The privilege of wearing something so important to him feels ironically criminal.

She's so used to breaking things that she doesn't yet know how to mend them.

One night, she asks him why. He says, "Because you're my nakama, Nami." She feels cheated; she does not yet fully comprehend his love.

It's not until countless nights later that Nami finally understands why she's the one that always ends up with Luffy's hat.
