This is an interesting topic I found at Tumblr because Nami is never shown to be attracted towards men but women, for example Kalifa. And when she tricked Zomble Lola, she disguised himself as a guy (Namizou).

Of course, if Nami was really lesbian, it's against our ship. But I still think there's a possibility since Oda also gives us transgender character. And being lesbian, mean it's also the safe route for avoiding shipping war at ending. She still could end up as single parent like Bellemere by adopting children.

What do you think, guys?

Well, it's possible, just like it's possible that 90% of One Piece characters are gay too. Oda rarely draw the non-perv characters feeling seriously interested in anyone (that can be applied to almost all Strawhats). Thus, I don't see any strong evidence that supports they are straight or gay.

Regarding Nami, I think Oda would be really trolling if he chooses her to be lesbian, because well, Sanji has been interested on her for a long time and he would feel like a fool if she was hiding that from him and even using her looks to seduce him pre-timeskip. Recently in Zou, Sanji even tried to kiss her, so two years passed and she would still being dishonest with him?

I mean, if someone is clearly interested on you but you know they'll never have a chance because you're a gay person, and that someone is a friend, I think it's really weird if you don't tell them once and for all. You should let them know instead of playing with their expectations. That's what I would expect from Nami if she was a lesbian. I'm sure Sanji would respect her sexuality and wouldn't try romance with her anymore.

That's why I think it's unlikely that Nami is lesbian (or exclusively lesbian - she could be bi). Her comments about Kalifa sounded pretty much as a gag and women are more eager to compliment each other's looks. She also always flirted with men to get advantage, never tried something similar with women and when Nami refused Absalom she also stated she was too young to marry... of course she could marry another woman, but that was a good opportunity to say she would never marry a man, but she didn't say that... by the context, it seems that the gender wasn't one of the issues.

I understand where people come from when they say Nami might be a lesbian, after all, she always has a nice relatinship with pretty much all good females every saga. Vivi,Tashigi, Lola ,Wanda and so on. I have never seen those relationships as nothing more than girls friendship personaly.

I think Oda would leave some pretty noticeable hints to it if she was a lesbian, because he has retrated the okamas in a very open way, clearly stating their sexuality from the get go.

Still, if she does end up being a lesbian, I would be surprised but would not say it came out of nowhere.
