This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Final Saga.

Summary

• Vivi is probably the 10th Straw Hat due to previous affiliation and advice from Oda.
• Vivi is key to uncovering the world's secrets alongside the straw pirates.
• Vivi is expected to reunite with Luffy soon and help the crew reach their ultimate goal.

One piece has finally entered her final saga, and this stretch of the story is going to be incredibly exciting, with a lot of major changes to come. As fans know, the final saga One piece is where the main battles will take place, while fans will see how the straw pirates move both in terms of their personal ambitions and in terms of getting closer One piece also.

When it comes to the Straw Hat Pirates, fans know that this family is now almost complete, as the vast majority of them are also getting closer to achieving their own individual goals. However, there are probably still future members of the Straw Hat Pirates who haven't officially joined the crew yet. This part of the story is key to completing the crew as the last member officially joins. In fact, Oda could already reveal who it would be.

The last one piece straw hat

• There are many candidates for the position of the last Straw Hat
• Vivi is the clear favorite

Straw Hat Pirates are undoubtedly the most important group in the One piece world. The protagonist of the series, Luffy, is the leader of the straw pirates, and under his command the crew has managed to achieve the impossible many times. Right now, Luffy and the straw pirates are a yonko crew, considered one of the most powerful on the seas. While Luffy is undoubtedly the most impressive member of the pirate crew, fans know that there are other powerful and reliable individuals. Luffy has always wanted to gather some of the coolest individuals for his pirate crew, and it's safe to say that he's pretty much succeeded.

About 10 members should do it! – Luffy

While the members Luffy has on board are already capable, the family is not yet complete. For those who may not remember, Luffy wanted 10 pirates in his crew and so far he only has nine. That means there's a chance one more member could join the crew, and fans have already gotten a few hints from Oda here and there, including some red herrings.

For example, in the Wano Country Arc, it almost looked like Yamato was going to join the crew, but that didn't happen. Of course, the door hasn't completely closed for Yamato to join the crew, but it seems increasingly unlikely that Yamato will make it again. The question of who will join the Straw Hat Pirates next remains, and while Oda has certainly narrowed down a few options, there are others who are increasingly becoming the final crew member. Without a doubt, the one with the best chance to join the Straw Hat Pirates is none other than Vivi.

As Oda already hinted at the 10th straw hat

Vivi is an ex-crewman with nowhere to go

Oda has already hinted at the 10th Straw Hat, and based on the clues he left behind, the 10th Straw Hat is none other than Vivi. There are several reasons why Vivi becomes the last straw hat. For one thing, Vivi was already a member of the crew before the time jump, and Oda himself found out that she would be rejoining the crew at some point later. Vivi is therefore able to rejoin the Straw Hat Pirates. But more importantly, Vivi is currently away from home and can't return to Arabasta because Imu and the World Government are on her tail. As such, there is no safe haven for her, meaning she has to find one or create one herself. Obviously, the latter is impossible for her, meaning she will have to seek out Luffy and eventually rejoin the Strawhat Pirates.

Will you still call me friend? – Vivi

Lately in the Elbaf Arch One pieceOda had Vivi send a message to Luffy and the straw pirates. This message came via the cross signed on Luffy's arm, which as fans know is a coded message indicating to the Straw Pirates that she is alive and well and still thinking of them. This also means that Vivi intends to rejoin the Straw Hat Pirates and then continue to explore the mysteries of the world and solve the problem facing them.

Most importantly, fans know that King Cobra had a message for Vivi through Sabo. According to Cobra, the message Vivi needed to know was that she too was a member of the D family and that they were to carry the flag of revolution. Clearly Vivi being a member of the D family is irrelevant unless she joins the Straw Hat Pirates. She can't survive long without Luffy, and if she's not part of the crew, then she's definitely not going to continue to find out anything about D's history. All indications agree that Vivi is the 10th straw. Hat and at this point it can pretty much be considered inevitable.

Will Vivi Sail To Laugh Tale With Luffy?

Vivi uncovers the world's secrets

It is unclear when Vivi will rejoin the Straw Hat Pirates. As things stand, Vivi is still with Wapol and Morgans. But the fact that she recently sent a message to Luffy suggests that they will meet soon. It's entirely possible that Vivi and Luffy will end up meeting in the Elbaf Arc, assuming Morgans ends up taking a detour for her for some reason. But if they don't meet in this arc, then it's highly likely that in the next arc after Elbaf, Luffy and Vivi will finally reunite. It's going to be incredibly exciting to see the crew reunited and the Straw Hat Pirates finally complete.

From there, the mission will be to get to the last Road Poneglyph, and once that's done, the entire crew can head into Laugh Tale to find out the true history of the world, the purpose of the ancient weapon, and the true meaning of D, along with much more. The future looks incredibly exciting for Vivi and the Straw Pirates, and hopefully they can do great things together. All fans have to do is be patient and wait for the Straw Hat Pirates to get their last member and then reveal the world's huge secrets.
