Arlong

Arlong is the antagonist who turns Nami’s early story from pirate adventure into occupation and extortion. A fish-man who despises humans, he seizes Cocoyasi Village, murders Nami’s adoptive mother, and forces the gifted child to draw maps for his crew. His sharklike features require LEGO to push beyond ordinary human minifigure anatomy, making the figure visually imposing even before accessories are added. More importantly, Arlong gives the East Blue saga moral weight. Defeating him is not merely another step toward the Grand Line; it is the moment Nami is finally able to ask Luffy for help and choose her own future.
