Now what happens to this group of characters? This is where I realised how strong this theory is, but first, a little premise: the point of the iconic “x tattoo” scene at the end of Alabasta was to show that no matter what, Vivi is a part of the crew and a lifelong friend of the Straw Hats, and actually that was their response to Vivi asking “But if we ever see eachother again… will you call me your shipmate?”
I think we can all agree that Vivi will make her way back to the Straw Hats before the end of the series as part of the crew, and before I come to the conclusion of this Vivi argument, let me also say something else: Vivi has to be there when the Straw Hats reach Laugh Tale. Roger’s crew learnt everything about the world (The Will of D., the Ancient Weapons, and the history of the Void Century) at Laugh Tale. That’s where the answers are.
Now think of Vivi. She is the “politician” of the crew. She is the person that got her country screwed over 2 times by the evil World Government: first by the hands of Crocodile (he was backed up by the World Government because he was a Warlord) and now a second time, with this terrible incident regarding the Alabasta Kingdom that Garp mentioned (the death of her father Cobra if my theory is correct).
She is the character that the king of the world and the Gorosei despise because of what her family did just right after the end of the Void Century.
She is the kind-hearted monarch that has the love and loyalty of her people, in contrast to the WG that keeps the truth hidden through lies and is responsible for massacres and the terrible condition of millions of people around the world (slavery, racism, entire islands being sacked and ravaged by pirates if they can’t afford the heavenly tribute). She has to know what the WG did. She has to know what her family did and why they did it after the Void Century and what the Void Century itself is, and she has to know what the Ancient Weapons are since she is so strictly tied to one of them (Pluton).
