Arlong Kills Nami's Mom | One Piece Live Action 

“If you can’t pay the cash, then you’re out with the trash, and feel free to quote me YAAAAAAH” - 4Kids Arlong

One thing that's not as clear as in the manga - Bellemere could have easily lied/made some excuse. She chose to tell Arlong she had two children not because she was afraid, but because she wanted more than anything to have a family, and it pained her too much to say that Nami and Nojiko weren't her children, so much so that she would rather die. This refusal to tell a lie, even unto death, is a trait inherited by Nami, and which is significant in the most recent arc when (SPOILERS) Nami refuses to say that Luffy will not become the Pirate King.

For those who wonder, it's clear that whatever excuse she would have used wouldn't have been accepted by Arlong. He clearly would have checked and killed Nami and Nojiko had he discovered the lie

them leaving out the moment Bellmere crashing out the door putting the gun at arlong's face really takes away from how badass Bellmere is sadly

That Actor did real justice to Arlong character

Honestly... the most heart- wrenching scene in the East Blue saga was done pretty well. Bellemere's sacrifice was spot- on, and the girls who played Nami and Nojiko did a wonderful job. They actually portray two different ways a child would react to a parent getting murdered in front of them. The girl who played Nami is crying throughout this scene, and begging Bellemere not to sacrifice herself, while the girl who played Nojiko stays silent most of the time, but you can tell from her expression she's terrified. That's some good acting from child actors. Not to mention, both girls are so adorable!

Seeing these characters in live-action form is the ultimate meaning of the term "like you have never seen them before".

Say what you want about how this scene is handled here vs the original, at least Arlong isn’t pointing at Belle-Mere and telling her she’s about to spend the rest of her life in a dungeon

Given that there are limitations to what live action can and can not do I think they handled this scene very well. Yes, the animé was more heart wrenching but it wouldn't be artistic license if they did this entire scene verbatim.

They can have Zoro literally cut a man in half with intestines and everything, but can't show Bellemere being shot like in the original?

Arlong didn't even notice Nami and Nojiko underneath the floor until Nami shows herself.

The arc is a Little bit rushed is true,But is still solid and emotional. Also Bellerme is amazing as in Manga.

As much as I love the live action, this scene was unfortunately my least favourite. I just kind of wished Bellemere had put up more of a fight for a bit longer, since she was…well, a former Marine. I feel like this is one of the instances where they shouldn’t have to cut anything out from a scene, just so it can deliver just the right emotional impact.

Looks like Bellemere won't be going to the dungeon for life this time.

Actually Arlong is fine, so i don't get why some are unsatisfied with his design here.

This is one of _the_ most pivotal moments of this arc yet it feels extremely rushed 💀

At least he didn't lock her up in his dungeon this time. That's a fate worse than death

This is the only part of LA that I’m quite disappointed in. Bellemere’s death feels less impactful, Genzo’s role is less significant, the villagers and Nojiko don’t know about her sacrifice, and Luffy and Zorro end up knowing her past. It makes Nami’s tattoo less meaningful.

“Here i live alone and 2 friends came here some hours ago” WAS TOO DIFFICULT?! 🤣

I’ve always loved how his nose in live action looks more realistic to that of an actual saw shark

If he would have killed all three he could have had a spy plane

Kudos to the actress who played Belle-mere (Genna Galloway), who made the most of the limited screen time she had but def made an impression and set a head strong example for young Nami to follow.

the only thing I didnt like was how bell mere jus kinda falls very anti-clmicatically (idk if thats a word) They coulda panned to an outside shot of the house and then had the gun sound with some birds fliying away or something. Yes it would be a lil diff than in the manga or anime, but you cant really shadow characters irl to hide things

I'm still kinda annoyed they removed Arlong's line "IF YOU CAN'T PAY THE CASH THEN UR OUT WITH THE TRASH!"

I only watched the first 10 or so episodes of the anime years ago, but i had this whole plotline spoiled for me, but holy shit this hurt 😭

Bellemere’s ok. Arlong just sent her to the dungeon for the rest of her life

Come on arlong! People have guest over … sheesh u know he doesn’t get any family members to come see him 😂

Story of One Piece is indeed the Best

Blue hair abuelita , purple hair , pink hair , my mate Tuco is in love with this , he would have say its tight tight tight

Although not faithful to the source, I appreciate the difference in tone to Arlong. Here his tone is more of a cold mob boss debt collector, rather than an erratic, bloodthirsty psychopath for the fun of it. After he gets her solo payment, he simply chuckles and walks out. After Bellemere asks for the money to cover only her daughters, Arlong makes sure she is aware what that means for her. It’s a quick confirmation too. Neither Arlong nor Bellemere are stupid, and they both know the circumstances of his business, so there’s little need for him to make a bigger deal out of it

I wish garp visited eastblue again during this time

“AW ITS A FAMILY REUNION” OMFG IM LMAO BRUH

“And look the price, the price I paid”

Man the Netflix really likes to talk to us like we’re idiots, I don’t wanna be the guy who hates on something just for no reason but this is so annoying how they have to explain every little detail and stretch it out what’s already being conveyed

Arlong: “it’s a family yuyunian”

Arlong looks like the goblin bank workers in harry potter

the acting is insane holy crap

I havent seen the entire live action, but I know not everything can be done verbatim. I am disappointed in how this scene was portrayed though. In the original, Bellemere never even attempted to lie about how many people lived with her. The townsfolk were actually lying for her. But she denied everything and willingly told Arlong that the money wasn't for her. Never denying her family was important than her own life. Bellemere is a G and she doesnt get enough credit.

Bellemere 😭😢

Wait, so Arlong did not take her to the nice room in his dungeon?

If only she threw the plates away.

I think this particular scene was better told in the anime.

Nojiko: (Giving what Arlong wants). Arlong: "Okay. You are free to go.". Nojiko: (Has hints that she has adoptive children). Arlong: "Hey, that's illegal.".

just waiting to see what they do with ROBIN lol

“Nami, Nojiko. I love you girls…” wut…

Meanwhile in 4Kids Dub, "Put her in the dungeon!"

The danger is way different here. I feel like I'm watching a cartel movie.

Just say that you got guests coming over

Arlong: How does it feel to die. Bellemere: Not die...SACRIFICE!!!!!

Ok I understand this might seem like a small detail: but why the hell would she step into grabbing range with a LONG RIFLE? She literally saw him open the door and didn’t immediately open fire.

If you can’t pay the cash then you’re out with the trash!

This scene Is very sad 😢😭😭❤️❤️

arlong is that nigga and i love it, no mercy 😈😈

Interesting….. they never actually mentioned Bellemere’s name in the live action

Damn im actually on the vurge of tears...

I feel like bellemere should of been more sad happy but not like she was a badass and that kinda less impacted the death of her

If the mother has Speech 100, she should’ve said I will have a reunion with friends or meeting with business partners.

Bell-Mere😭😭😭😭😭

Damn, not even Davy Jones from POTC was this cruel 😮

If you can’t pay the cash then you’re out with the trash- 4Kids

Okay, it’s sad, but nowhere near as sad as the anime. It’s sad they didn’t had the balls to show Arlong’s torture.

How would like to spend the rest of your life locked in a dungeon

Nami is so cute

Dweeb in the comment section talking about why Nojiko is black. Lucky Roux and Gin is black as well nobody said shit about it

Belle mère ...

😢 so sad

2:01

Pillaron a una actriz negra con peluca azul del chino de la esquina. Solo pido que Barbablanca lo interprete un africano. Por favor 🙏

Yeah the pacing definitely rush here lol

And so, after knocking out Bellemere, Arlong took her to a dungeon for the rest of her days.

Its bellamere and its not namis real mom

Why is namis sister black?

They had high budget and 8 eps so some things had to be cut

This was aight, but doesn't have the same impact as the anime/manga

That blue hair looks horrible

She couldn’t say she has guest?

Did Nojiko's actress not know the camera was rolling?

No ❤❤❤😢

Eh, pretty weak compared to the manga. A. Bellemere actually got the drop on Arlong proving she is badass yet also showing how Arlong is still more dangerous B. The rest of the Village was there to try and help and saw Bellemere get executed C. Bellemere flat out tells Arlong the money is strictly for Nami and Nojiko showing she cares not just about them but also the thought of being their mother more than her own life.

Why is Nojiko not crying

This is so bad. Just put her in the dungeon for the rest of her life that would be better. No genzo trying to say he was coming over for dinner to show him protecting them. No Bellmere going out the door with the gun or being beat up trying to fight them. No her stopping them from walking away to tell them she has two daughters. Just follow the anime. This is the arc that turned one piece into a top anime and THIS is what they do

awwwwwwwww 😇

Nojiko is mah nigga

wait... so in the live action, Arlong didn't take her to the dungeon?

Yeah I am sorry but the anime scene is way better. Too much dramatic American acting in this one.

No! 😧 That was a mistake. 😠

Nojiko looks different from the anime

This, hit, sooo much harder then in the anime.

I think my problem with this show is how most of the side character that doesnt have a lot of screen time kinda has a bad casting

And some ignorants says 'OoH tHiS aNiMe iS fOr ChIlDrEnS" 🤡🤡

Dam i cant belive he didnt cast her to the dungeon

I know this is off topic but How come we can keep nojiko’s hair color in this adaptation despite the race change but we couldn’t do the same for ariel in the live action little mermaid? UPDATE: people that are responding to this comment seem to be getting the details mixed up so let me rephrase this I’m not upset that nojiko in the live action one piece has a different skin color than in the anime I’m upset that in the live action one piece we can have a black character with an obscure color of hair but we can’t have that in the live action little mermaid with that in the original 1989 movie ariel was depicted a redhead! Ergo live action nojiko kept her blue hair like in the source material despite the race change but live action ariel didn’t have red hair like in the OG movie despite the race change! Did Disney really think having a red haired black woman would be weird?

I love the netflix version of One Piece they did a hell of a job adapting the anime... except for Bellemere! WTF happened here?! First of all why does she look like 50?? Bellemere was just 30! And what did they do with her character?! They turned her into an ordinary normal woman she was absolutely bad ass and cocky in the anime... i might be biased here because Bellemere is one of my alltime favorite anime mothers but still... could have they made her anymore worse?! I don't think so... what a shame 😞 since episode one i was so excited for Namis childhood story and Bellemere but they absolutely fd that up 😭 But still the series is amazing and i can't wait for Season 2 😅

Nojiko full Haki 😂😂😂

Were jimbe

...

Should could’ve just said it was for her friends who was coming over later

Mother gets shot: Nami: 😭 Black kid is like 🗿

The anime version mush better then this version

3 piece
