Actually, has Nami's flashback been covered yet? As far as I remember, Nojiko explained it to Usopp, but I don't think the actual content has been covered in-comic yet. But then I'm probably misremembering.
For Naruto level, doesn't it need to be a flashback, within a flashback, possibly within another flashback? I know before we got to the current filler run we were starting to hit "flashback inception" from time to time, but I can't recall if the series had managed it to the third power yet or not.
See, this is why my group tends to just literally hand wave and say 'exposition'. Because while player and character knowledge are separate...narrative shorthands are also still a thing =p
You know what I learned when I did my Abridged Series? Shorter is better, especially with flashbacks.
Or making the flashback about something completely different. For this, I would totally be okay with just skipping the sorrow and having the next comic be everyone crying over how tragic the backstory was, with ejaculations over allusions to things happening that were even worse than what really happened in the real flashback.
Because backstories and flashbacks SUCK. They're nothing but exposition.

You're not going to pull a Naruto and repeat your recaps and flashbacks multiple times, are you?

... Why is everyone so harsh on backstories? Sure, I've seen Nami's back story a dozen times now, but I still want to see this comic go through it.
And exposition isn't bad, it's only when it is done excessively, to no end, or is too blatant that it is annoying.
