The viral clip has been posted by an X user @FearedBuck, where Speed was seen standing beside the Nami cosplayer, both of them holding props similar to those used by Nami (Clima-Tact weapon) and Monkey D. Luffy (Straw hat). The cosplayer’s attention to detail is evident from her orange wig to her outfit, closely mirroring Nami’s iconic style.

Speed’s reaction to the cosplayer’s presence was a mix of excitement and disbelief. His typically loud demeanor gives way to moments of stunned silence at first as he appears to process the image before him. At one point after the meet-up, Speed can be heard exclaiming, “Nami. I love you!” emphasizing his enthusiasm for the encounter.

Many of his fans have praised both Speed’s unfiltered response and the cosplayer’s impressive portrayal of Nami. This particular meeting has quickly become one of the most talked-about moments from Speed’s Indonesian adventure.

His connection to One Piece came as a dropping bomb. He knew about One Piece way before but never watched it as it was old and had a huge number of episodes. Moreover, Speed fell for One Piece when he finally watched the first episode of the anime and immediately ended up watching 40 episodes on the same day.

Nami, as part of the Straw Hat crew in One Piece, has been a favorite for many fans. Especially for the post-time skip of Nami’s portrayal and iconic outfit. The loyal and skilled navigator’s cosplayer seems to have reminded Speed of the iconic style Nami wore during the Fish-Man Island arc. The level of accuracy and attention to detail is what made this cosplay stand out and became an iconic moment for every One Piece fan.

It’s also been recorded that Speed broke his all-time record of viewership during his live IRL stream in Indonesia with over one million YouTube viewers.

One Piece is currently available to watch on Crunchyroll.
