Silk

Silk is a tall, slender girl with blond hair and brown eyes, dressed in a blue T-shirt paired with green-and-white shorts. As a small child she wore a pale blue dress.

Silk treasures her town above all and will gladly put her life on the line to defend it. She recognizes that not every pirate is wicked, showing genuine kindness toward Luffy, yet the townspeople tend to brush her off, since her bold confidence seldom translates into results. She handles a sword skillfully, likely a saber. As Oda's earliest sketch of a Nami-type heroine, she shares much of that navigator's look and spirit while leaning more on leadership than on force.

Cast off as a newborn by pirate parents who had raided the village, Silk was taken in and raised without resentment by its people. When Gally's crew threatens the town, she calls on everyone to take up arms, only to be told to stand down. She first mistakes Luffy for the infamous pirate and attacks him, then relents once he explains he is not a pirate yet and serves him a meal, learning along the way about his cherished straw hat and his idol, Red-Haired Shanks. She confesses her own pirate parentage and vows to fight for the town no matter what. After the villagers wrongly seize Luffy in Gally's place, Silk rushes to set things right but arrives too late, and her repeated attempts to strike at the real pirates leave her knocked to the ground. When Gally's men hurl the captured Luffy into the sea, she dives in to save him, then watches in astonishment as he flings himself aboard Gally's ship using his rubber powers. Once it is all over, she lingers on the docks, turning his words over in her mind.
