But when entering the movie, Netflix's version of Nami regained quite a lot of sympathy thanks to natural acting, completely compensating for the appearance that has not yet convinced the majority of the audience.

In fact, to get the role of Nami of One Piece , it took Emily Rudd 3 years of "intrigue" to be able to win absolutely. As soon as she heard that Netflix was about to produce a live-action One Piece , Rudd immediately went to dye her hair red, then uploaded a series of videos of her youth, doing many risky moves like how to flip on social media. As a result, she was noticed for recalling Nami from appearance to dynamic personality, then easily matriculated.

True to the director's judgment, Nami played by Emily has both beauty and acting, showing the spirit of the character.

IGN rated Emily Rudd's portrayal of Nami as the highlight of the film. "Emily embodies the navigator's nail-like toughness, along with a playful touch that alludes to the character's past traumas. It was her passionate emotional performance in the face of friends or enemies that breathed life into the character. Thanks to Emily, it's easy to believe that Nami cares about those around her, even if her actions prove otherwise."

Before joining this new film, Emily acted in Jamie Russell's film Secret Santa, followed by horror films Fear Street Part Two: 1978 and Fear Street: 1666.
