Description
Lately, I've been on a One Piece kick, so I've been re-reading the manga. When I got to Volume 9 and read Nami's backstory, I saw Bellemere and I thought.... I HAVE to draw that HAIR!! And so, I broke out the Prismacolors and drew this. :3 Have I ever mentioned that Eichiro Oda's style is remarkably easy to work with? Because it is...Bellemere is one of the reasons why I stopped watching 4kids stuff. in the manga, she plays a HUGE role in Nami's backstory, telling her that "no matter what happens, never lose your ability to laugh" and "if you can survive, happy times... lots of 'em... will come your way!" while in the 4kids anime, she doesn't do that. >:[ She also doesn't smoke, she doesn't have the MACE logo on her shirt (not that it's visible here) and worst of all, in the manga she dies a horrible greusome bloody death protecting Nami and Nojoko, getting shot in the head by Arlong, but in the 4kids version, Arlong "sends her to the dungeon." WTF!?!?!!?? He's a goddam fish man PIRATE, not some king in a castle! >:[
Grah, anyway, Bellemere belongs to Eichiro Oda.

Stupid 4Kids for ruining one of the most emotional backstories.

Actually, that means she... starved.

Instead of shooting her, Arlong basically threw in a damp cell and she just died of starvation.

Still, her shooting had a huge impact on everyone.

Yeah, but at least it was quick (and even quicker in the manga), instead of a slow and excruciating death. Of course this could have Sanji fight much harder.

After they've defeated Arlong...
Luffy: So, Nami, do ya wanna go get your mom out of prison?
Nami: Pf, no. PARTYYYY!

Wha--? I know it's been a while since I've read One Piece, but I thought Bellemere was dead. O_o

She probably starved to death. Aslo, what happened to Kuina in 4Kids (basically attacked like a mafia target and crippled for life ) was worse, since she's a samurai.

Smokings bad for you
lol sorry. Love One Piece, hate 4kids. You should so totally do more of the cast! That would be epic awesome!

Hehe, I'm glad you like it! xD I don't think that I'll do more of the cast, though. I don't want to rely on drawing fanart to fill my gallery. I haven't really posted a decent picture with my own characters since the 15th of June.
