Background

Vivi infiltrated Baroque Works under the identity of Miss Wednesday, rising to senior-officer rank while investigating whether the organization was responsible for Alabasta’s suffering. She concealed her royal identity to protect the mission and her kingdom. 42

Gato exposes her identity and tells her that Baroque Works is behind Alabasta’s crisis and that its leader, Mr. 0, is Crocodile—Alabasta’s celebrated hero. Though initially unable to trust him, Vivi continues her investigation rather than accepting his claims without proof. 42 43

At Whisky Peak, Vivi asks Gato to warn King Cobra of the danger facing Alabasta. She gives him an Eternal Pose and a personal token, trusting that his strength makes deception unnecessary, while still insisting on verifying Crocodile’s identity herself. 43

After Crocodile deliberately leaks information that allows her to confirm his identity as Mr. 0, Vivi returns to Alabasta. She persuades the rebel army to unite with the royal army, and their combined forces defeat Baroque Works after its agents receive orders not to inflict casualties. 51 72

Although Vivi successfully saves Alabasta, she recognizes that the victory depended in part on Gato’s hidden intervention and that she remains too weak to reliably protect her country from future threats. She therefore arranges a staged abduction with Cobra and joins the Six Paths Pirates to gain strength. 74

Vivi later chooses to openly sever her public connection to Alabasta and identify herself as a pirate, believing that openly taking responsibility for her actions will prevent the World Government from using her affiliation with the crew as a pretext to target her kingdom. 128

Appearance

Vivi is a young princess with sky-blue hair and an elegant bearing shaped by royal education. 41 42

• Her tied-up hair gives her a cold, professional, and unapproachable appearance as Miss Wednesday. 41
• With her hair down, she appears warmer and sweeter. 41
• Her gestures retain the refinement expected of Alabasta’s legitimate princess. 42
• When confronting Gato’s crew in Alabasta, she wears her hair pinned up beneath a crown, an immaculate white gown, and a pink velvet cloak; Gato compares her appearance to Athena. 73
• After boarding the crew’s ship, Vivi discards her crown and cape, lets down her hair, and adopts a brighter, more casual demeanor. 74

Personality

Vivi is courageous, resourceful, and deeply responsible toward Alabasta. She accepts the risks of infiltrating Baroque Works and prioritizes uncovering the truth behind her country’s suffering over her own safety. 42 43

She is compassionate and believes strength should be used to protect others rather than to indulge cruelty. When Gato argues that power permits its holder to act freely, Vivi challenges his view using her father’s teachings. 44

Though initially shaken by Gato’s intimidation and deception, Vivi reflects on his lesson about weakness and resolves to become strong enough to speak on equal terms with the powerful. 44

Vivi is adventurous by nature and adapts quickly to pirate life, becoming excited by new experiences despite her royal upbringing. 76 89

Her kindness remains central to her character after becoming a pirate. She cannot ignore suffering she witnesses, acts to rescue enslaved people, and chooses to incapacitate enemies rather than kill them when possible. 105 119 131

Vivi does not impose her reluctance to kill on her crewmates, however. She accepts that they have their own beliefs and remains committed to the path she chose as a pirate. 77 131

Abilities & Skills

Undercover Work

Vivi successfully maintains the Miss Wednesday identity within Baroque Works long enough to become a senior officer. 42

• Conceals her status as Alabasta’s princess.
• Investigates Baroque Works’ role in Alabasta’s civil unrest.
• Operates despite the danger of discovery by the organization. 42 43

Perfume Dance

Vivi is capable of performing the Perfume Dance. Gato regards the technique as potentially effective enough to catch a skilled swordsman off guard. 43

• Used as a combat-oriented dance technique.
• Its documented effectiveness is based on Gato’s assessment rather than a shown battle. 43

Dream-Dream Fruit

Vivi ate the Dream-Dream Fruit to become stronger and more useful to the Six Paths Pirates. Its power allows her to manipulate dreams and develop illusions with increasingly concrete effects. 91 165

• Dream Entry — can forcibly draw targets into dreams she weaves. Initially, this required physical contact, but she later learns to affect multiple targets from a distance. 91 100
• Dream traversal — can enter the dreams of already sleeping people from afar. 91
• Dream Dust — releases colorful dream-inducing dust that can put targets to sleep; the dust spreads relatively slowly and can be avoided by alert opponents. 100 131
• Mirage Domain — creates a large illusionary domain that can conceal the crew’s ship from ordinary observation. Exceptionally powerful Observation Haki can still detect targets within it. 118 126
• Reality-affecting illusions — Vivi can create illusory Haki and constructs that inflict tangible damage when an opponent accepts the illusion as real. The effect weakens if the target recognizes or firmly disbelieves the illusion. 165 166
• Giant construct — while testing this potential, Vivi manifests a gigantic pitch-black duck-shaped construct modeled after Karoo. 165

Haki and Combat Training

Crocodile subjects Vivi to harsh combat and Haki training. Though initially unable to threaten him even when fighting alongside Enel, Vivi continues training without complaint. 97 98

Vivi’s developing illusionary Haki enables her to temporarily hold her own against vice admiral-level opponents. Against stronger enemies, her success depends on acting convincingly enough that they accept the strength she projects. 165 166

Mobility

Vivi has learned Geppo, allowing her to move through the air and mitigating the dangers that the sea poses to her as a Devil Fruit user. 195

Leadership and Resolve

Vivi intends to expose Baroque Works, return to Alabasta, and unite her people and army against the threat rather than relying entirely on Gato’s strength. 45

• Makes decisions with Alabasta’s welfare in mind.
• Refuses to remain passive even when facing Crocodile and Baroque Works.
• Understands that her personal strength is limited, but seeks to act through her country’s collective forces. 45
• Successfully persuades Alabasta’s rebel and royal armies to cooperate against Baroque Works. 72
• Takes responsibility for her own choices by formally declaring herself a pirate rather than allowing Alabasta to bear the consequences of her association with Gato’s crew. 128

Artistic Performance and Acting

As the Six Paths Pirates’ artist, Vivi performs court dances and uses performance as a component of her dream-based illusions. 74 76 165

Gato arranges for Vivi to study acting under Eve, recognizing that a more convincing performance will improve the effectiveness of her illusions against powerful opponents. 166 184

Equipment / Items

• Eternal Pose to Alabasta — given to Gato in exchange for delivering her warning to King Cobra. 43
• Personal token — entrusted to Gato so King Cobra would recognize Vivi’s message. 43
• Three-section staff — previously carried while acting as Miss Wednesday. 41

Relationships

• Gato — Initially wary after he reveals her identity and Crocodile’s connection to Baroque Works. Their relationship develops into trust and friendship; Gato intends to recruit her as the Six Paths Pirates’ “artist.” 42 44 45 50 Gato later supports her decision to join the crew, acts as a mentor, and respects her choice to retain her mercy as a pirate. 74 77 91 131
• King Cobra — Her father and Alabasta’s king. Vivi sends him a warning through Gato concerning Baroque Works and Crocodile. 43 46 Though Cobra initially opposes her leaving with pirates, he cooperates with Vivi in staging her abduction after she explains that she needs strength to protect Alabasta. 74
• Igaram — A loyal protector of Vivi who remains suspicious of Gato and defends her when he appears to threaten her. 43 44
• Mr. 9 — Her Baroque Works partner. He learns her identity and becomes afraid to return to the organization after learning Crocodile’s secret. 41 42
• Crocodile — Alabasta’s public hero and the suspected mastermind behind Baroque Works. Vivi is determined to uncover the truth and oppose the organization’s actions. 42 43 45 After joining Gato’s crew, Vivi confronts Crocodile over his betrayal of Alabasta; he initially refuses to acknowledge her, but later trains her harshly and recognizes that she is qualified to stand alongside the crew. 74 97 119
• Enel — A fellow Six Paths Pirate who initially mistakes Vivi for a goddess and repeatedly calls her “Goddess Vivi.” He is protective of her, while Vivi gently corrects his divine delusions and insists on facing her own problems. 73 74 75 Vivi later uses Dream Entry to rescue Enel from a group of courtesans. 100
• Trafalgar Law — A fellow officer and combat partner. Vivi supports Law during their battle with a P9 agent and remains beside him after he is injured. 96 137 The two also cooperate in developing and testing Vivi’s Dream-Dream Fruit techniques. 165
• Eve — A former enslaved girl rescued by Vivi at the Germa auction. Vivi cares for Eve after bringing her aboard the ship, becoming one of the people Eve trusts most. 105 119 126 163 Eve later teaches Vivi acting to improve her illusion-based combat. 166 184

Whisky Peak

Vivi chooses to continue investigating Baroque Works despite Gato’s information. She requests that he deliver her warning to King Cobra, providing an Eternal Pose and token to Alabasta. 43

Debate of Strength and Weakness

Gato frightens Vivi and Igaram by pretending to be Mr. 0, then uses the incident to argue that weakness leaves people vulnerable to manipulation. Vivi rejects his belief that power should be used without restraint, but resolves to become stronger so her convictions cannot be ignored. 44

Alabasta Decision

Vivi declines Gato’s direct intervention against Baroque Works. She instead commits to exposing the organization and mobilizing Alabasta’s people and army herself. Gato accepts her choice and calls her his friend. 45

Liberation of Alabasta

With Crocodile’s identity exposed, Vivi returns to Alabasta and convinces the rebel army to join forces with the royal army. The united forces defeat Baroque Works, whose agents are secretly barred from causing casualties by Crocodile’s orders. 51 72

Vivi becomes celebrated throughout Alabasta as the kingdom’s savior, but she realizes that the most dangerous moments of the conflict were eased by Gato’s unseen protection. 72 74

Joining the Six Paths Pirates

Gato returns to Alabasta to recruit Vivi. Although she publicly refuses on the grounds that a princess of a World Government nation cannot join pirates, she secretly asks him to take her away. 74

Vivi and Cobra stage her abduction by Gato, Crocodile, and Enel. She joins the Six Paths Pirates as their artist, seeking the strength to ensure that Alabasta will not depend on luck or another person’s intervention in the future. 74 77

Dream-Dream Fruit Acquisition

After the crew obtains an unidentified Devil Fruit, Vivi chooses to eat it despite the risk because she wants to become useful rather than remain protected by her stronger companions. The Fruit proves to be the Dream-Dream Fruit. 91

Germa Auction

At the Germa auction, Vivi is disturbed by the open cruelty of the slave trade and refuses to ignore an injured enslaved person. With Gato’s approval, she leaves to confront the matter alone as a trial of her growth. 105 106

Enel subsequently rescues Vivi when the auction house collapses, and Vivi’s illusion assists the crew’s escape from the pursuing Vinsmoke forces. 111 113

Open Break with Alabasta

Before the raid on Enies Lobby, Vivi decides to formally announce her betrayal of Alabasta and live openly as a pirate. She believes this will ensure that any consequences of her actions fall upon her rather than her kingdom. 128

Dreamlike Rhapsody

Through continued development of the Dream-Dream Fruit, Vivi discovers that sufficiently convincing illusions can affect reality and simulate Haki. She tests a gigantic dark construct on Gato and begins exploring the Fruit’s potential for creating powerful combat illusions. 165

Gato concludes that Vivi’s acting ability is essential to this style of combat and arranges for Eve to teach her performance techniques. 166 184

Notable Quotes

“Mr. Gato, I want to defeat Baroque Works with my own abilities.” 45

“I'll eat it.” 91

“I want to save him. Of course I know about the darkness behind slavery. What I cannot see, I can let pass. But if I see it and still choose to ignore it, that would go against my heart.” 105
