OK so Oda decided to do a anime special focusing on Nami's back-story.It basically shows us how this specific arc would look if it was released today and this special benefits greatly from it as well. So if you are up to date with the One Piece anime and/or Manga then you already know exactly what happens in this special.
But for those of you that have watched it already you would (you should) of noticed that they changed a certain part of the story to compensate for time.The whole special is about 1 hour and 50 min so it is quite long.
What they changed
...
was when Luffy gets stuck in the ground after doing the gomu-gomu no kazaguruma (pinwheel). In the anime and manga Arlong throws Luffy in the ocean with his still stuck in a large boulder, but in the special Sanji breaks the boulder before Arlong has a chance to do so. Also the fight with Zoro and Hachi was shortened.
But i have to admit that the way they transitioned everything after changing it was EXTREMELY well done and it makes up for leaving certain parts out.
The whole purpose of this special was to tell the tale of the Navigator Nami and how she has changed from meeting Luffy and to where she is now with the rest of the crew.
Nami's back-story still has a lot of emotional power and can maybe get you to shed a tear.Everything in her back-story just makes you want to beat the shit out of Arlong all over again.
To finish this off let me just say that this special is amazing and is worth watching.You will love it regardless of the few minor changes.
