Nojiko is Nami's adoptive older sister; although they are not biologically related, they were raised together by Bellemere. She plays a significant role in the Arlong arc by revealing Nami's past to the Straw Hats and assisting in Luffy's rescue alongside Genzo, after Arlong throws Luffy into the ocean with his feet encased in a block of cement. Her right arm is covered in tattoos, which she acquired so that Nami would not feel ashamed of her own tattoo of Arlong's pirate logo. After attempting to stop Nami from attacking Captain Nezumi, a Naval officer who tries to seize the money Nami raised for her deal with Arlong, Nojiko is shot in the back by him. However, she survives. In the manga, she gives her bracelet to Nami. She appears later again and is glad to see that Nami looks happy in her wanted poster.
