Wtf? Is not Nami that couldn't pay. It was Bellemere. Nami was just a kid.
Besides that I agree. Nami was never greedy. The money was never for her own. Oda should have change that gag of her.
Just like making Sanji into a pervert when he was suppose to be a gentleman.
And also suddenly drop Luffy bad directions that were even worse than Zoro at Syrup Arc.

If your adopted mom gets killed because she couldn't pay rent,
If your entire village gets brutalized because they can't pay the local mafia that extorts them,
If you are tricked into a deal that says you can "buy" your village's freedom with literal money,
If all of this happens to you as an infant,
It's not a surprise at all that Nami's growth is extremely tied to her putting an enormous amount of importance on "money" and it beomes part of her personality.

Yep, Nami became a money hungry person due to trauma.
Doesn't bother me except when she beats the guys up over it, but, I get it; it's because Nami knows that sometimes, money talks, and people only listen to money. Nami craves money so she can spend it for the people she loves.
Camie's auction is a great example of this, look at the raw horror on Nami's face when she realizes all their money isn't enough to save Camie's life from the Celestial Dragons:
It's the same terror as when Bellemere died.
Nami is an inherently problematic character, and I have no problem with people calling me that out, she is a pirate/thief who has done plenty of bad things in her life.
But, I hate how One Piece fans treat Robin like some precious little angel when she was willing to destroy an entire country to get the Rio Poneglyph, and then act like Nami is some new evil or something. Robin fans hate this one panel.
And I AM SUCH A MASSIVE ROBIN SIMP, but, fuck, yeah, she's done bad things. Robin has done horrible things, Kuzan was right to test her.
That's the whole point of the series, that good and evil are just stupid words used by stupid people, and life is way more complicated than that. People who do cruel things can change and become kind. Robin used to be a horrible person, now I think she's one of the kindest characters in the series.
EOS Socialist Nami?!?!?

Nami's Mom, Bellmere, died because Nami could not pay for her mother's life.
If your Mom died because you couldn't pay someone, how would you feel?
Nami never wanted money
Nami wanted to be able to pay enough money to keep the people she loved alive
If you treat Nami bad I'll kick your ass

Bellmere was screwed either way.
Arlong would have found out about Nami and Nojiko either way from talking to people and checking village records. What, some kids are going to outrow Fishmen?
If Bellmere had tried to run, she would have been caught, as well, they weren't escaping Fishmen in the water on a small ass island like that.
Bellmere knew she had to pick between herself or her kids after she failed to kill Arlong, so, she chose her kids.
