Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is a Shonen series that has been renowned for showcasing the timeless theme of the trust and unbreakable bond that the Straw Hat Pirates have with each other. There have been some instances in which this bond has been tested. However, the first one to break this trust was none other than their navigator, Nami.
She had joined the crew on one condition: Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro must return the favor, but she betrayed them by stealing their treasure and setting sail for her hometown. Now, it looks like Emily Rudd, the actress who plays the role of Cat Burglar in the live adaptation of the show, is following a similar path.
With the TV series preparing for the second season in full throttle, they shared the first look at Miss Wednesday of the Baroque Works. It did not take long for Rudd to praise the character, confessing her fondness for the villain.
