Nefertari Vivi — One Piece

The rebellion and royal forces converge on Alubarna while Vivi struggles to make herself heard over the fighting. Crocodile has arranged for a powerful explosive shell to detonate in the city’s clock tower, even if the fighting stops. Vivi and the Straw Hats search for the hidden weapon; Pell carries it away, preventing mass casualties. After Luffy defeats Crocodile, Vivi’s appeal finally reaches the combatants and the civil conflict ends. She cannot win the battle through overwhelming strength, but she refuses to stop trying to save the people on both sides.

With Crocodile defeated, Vivi must choose between setting out with the Straw Hats and remaining in Alabasta to serve its people. She stays. Because the Marines are pursuing the departing pirates, an open farewell would expose their friendship. Vivi asks whether the crew will still call her their companion if they meet again. Their silent answer is to raise their left arms, displaying the matching X marks they had agreed upon during their travels. The same mark that once exposed a disguise now confirms a friendship that does not require them to travel together.

Vivi eventually attends the Reverie at Mary Geoise alongside royals including Shirahoshi of Ryugu Kingdom and Rebecca of Dressrosa. Her old connection to Luffy helps the princesses grow friendly. The gathering also confronts them with the World Nobles’ abuse of power when Saint Charlos tries to seize Shirahoshi. Other royals intervene, and Saint Mjosgard’s actions help end the immediate threat.

At the Reverie, King Cobra questions the Five Elders about Queen Lili, an ancient Nefertari ruler whose fate is bound to the World Government’s origins. Imu unexpectedly appears in the supposedly empty throne room. Cobra reveals that Lili’s full name was Nefertari D. Lili, placing the family among those who carry the mysterious initial. Imu attacks him. Sabo attempts to help, but Cobra stays behind so Sabo can escape with a message for Luffy and Vivi: the Nefertari family also bears D. Cobra is killed, and Sabo is later publicly blamed. Vivi has not been shown receiving the message her father entrusted to Sabo.

Elsewhere in Mary Geoise, CP0 has detained Vivi. Wapol, fleeing in terror after secretly witnessing Cobra’s murder, breaks through a wall; Vivi seizes the opening and escapes with him. He subsequently contacts Big News Morgans, whose flying newspaper operation offers them a place to hide. They have escaped the immediate danger of the Holy Land, but Vivi cannot simply resume her life at the Alabasta palace.

Aboard Morgans’s airship, Vivi protests when the newspaper president proposes a false report claiming Luffy has taken Vegapunk hostage on Egghead. Morgans dismisses her objections, but she refuses to accept the lie about her friend. Later, in a separate newspaper image of Luffy, Robin notices an unusually clear X on his arm. The familiar mark recalls the promise made during Vivi’s farewell at Alabasta; the photograph does not explain how that symbol came to appear so clearly.

Vivi survives the Reverie and is seen sheltering with Morgans and Wapol. Her father’s last message, the history of the Nefertari family, and her eventual reunion with the Straw Hats remain central unresolved threads. One Piece is still ongoing, and the events covered here do not provide a definitive conclusion to Vivi’s journey.
