@Lariat1508 It's like Luffy actively chooses not to listen to those painful stories. Be it from Nojiko or Jinbei.. in fact, he straight up says so to Nojiko.
He simply needs no sad excuse to choose her or to distroy anyone and anyhting that hurt Nami.
Luffy refusing to hear Nami's Tragic Backstory is incredibly telling.
Usually, backstories justify character choices. But Luffy’s refusal to listen says: “I don’t need Nami's pain to make my decision.” He’s not collecting sympathy points.
That’s faith beyond facts!

Interesting how Luffy’s promise isn't abt Nami's safety, but her smile
Genzo's entrusting Luffy with her happiness..her inner self!
That's a loaded request. And when Genzo reminds him, the panel from Oda says it all. The thumbs up was quiet and solemn, like a silent Oath

When Luffy says, “I can't allow this room to exist” it’s more than a cool line, it’s a declaration of war against what hurts her.
He's not only saving Nami, he's destroying the system that enslaved her genius. That's extra special, cause he wants to dismantle her trauma.

I love how in Strong World, Luffy gets so mad when he assumes Nami doesn't believe in him (he only heard the first half of the message) because usually Luffy is a no fucks given person, but it was different in this scenario
