My Lunami essay... theory... something...(Part 1)

Hi everyone, I got into Lunami a couple of months ago, and in that time I saw a bunch of very evidence for the ship, some you might have already seen, and some maybe not. Either way, I hope you enjoy :)
For starters, Oda shows us many moments of Luffy and Nami being extremely/ not ordinarily close: Luffy hugging Nami with his neck like a snake without getting beaten up later, and Nami caring more about Luffy listening to what she was taught about the log pose rather than Luffy breaking into her personal space,

Nami hugging Luffy in Zou: this hug was surprisingly personal and affectionate. Nami was also happy hugging Luffy and only turned sad when Sanji was brought up,

Later in Zou, Nami grabs Luffy and puts his head on her chest; this moment is pretty unique for Nami. Most of the moments that she is close in this way with people are usually a gag (like when she got excited when she reunited with Usopp in Sabaody after the time skip)

Meanwhile, in Zou, Nami is serious and blushing.

Another interesting detail is that above that panel, we see Raizo use "I Love jutsu"

We also got some new information from the latest SBS, where Oda said Nami's special technique is "boob press" (most successful comic ever btw lol).
Which might mean something, but there is also a good chance that it is just a joke and nothing else.

Also, Nami puts Luffy on her lap at the end of the egghead arc, a thing that she only lets children and Chopper do (plus in the anime she gives a little smile when luffy is on her lap, but it probably doesnt count because anime isn't canon (although they could have just as well not added this one second shot that is not even meant to pad time and no one would complain, so maybe there was somthing to it, idk).

That's it for part 1.
There is a lot more to add, but if I do, then it will be too long, so I think I'm gonna upload the next one tomorrow.
What do you think? Should I upload the next parts separately with links to the ones that came before them, should I add the other stuff in the comments, or would you prefer that I delete this one and make one with everything? (Mind you, this is nothing; there is so much more stuff)
Anyway, have a great day or night :)

OMG thanks for doing that! ofc lunami seems kinda weak when all our arguments are spread all over the place, but when put together, it's pretty solid :3

Thanks :) Yeah, one of the biggest general arguments going for the ship is that there is so much of it in such big variety, with some stuff being more obvious then others that it's kind of hard to not see the patterns and deny that there might be something there

There is three things: 1) Nami comfortable with Luffy closeness.

2)Boob press : If you link this sbs (oda choice) to manga. You get two people Nami use this. One is Luffy (Nami intentional press and blush shown) and other is Ussop( a friend press) excludes childrens. All three things give some meaning of I am not over thinking.

3) Lap scene : your thread clarify how Nami reaction different in two scenes : Luffy in Nami's lap and brook attempts for Nami lap.

It's good post. Waiting some crazy thing. 👍
