@TLC:
It's hella cool to see Vivi evolve from this normal adventure girl to a Queen and a major political force in the World Government. The Strawhats' influence on her planted a seed that's gonna cause some major changes to the world! That and all the other major political figures….man Reverie looks to be super exciting.
So who do you think will show up?
There should be Vivi, Riku, Elizabello, Neptune, Dalton....am I missing someone? Maybe Hancock and Iceburg?
You know, it's pretty crazy and a little too coincidental how the crew have saved so many nations. Like none of the other supernova went to kingdoms in turmoil and saved them (to our knowledge). So they have the Sakura kingdom, Alabasta, Ryugu Kingdom and Dressrosa backing them up. Too bad Skypiea isn't part of the World Government. We never saw the Goa Kingdom ruler did we? I doubt Oda would forget/ignore Goa since it is his style to bring those kinds of things back. The World Government has over 170 allied nations yet in the past reverie we saw there seemed to be pretty much no one there. Shouldn't it be this huge thing with 170 rulers? Or at least 100? I am glad Oda introduced Prodence Kingdom to show nations Luffy DIDN'T save. And Wapol is sure to be there because he now rules the Evil Black Drum Kingdom. Water 7 probably doesn't count though I guess it's possible Iceberg requested to attend the reverie. But he wouldn't be able to pull any favors for the Straw Hats because he was involved in Enies Lobby being destroyed and Robin getting away. And I don't think Amazon Lilly counts either but if it does then that's another ally for Luffy.
I say it's coincidental Luffy just so happened to pass by nations in trouble and save them, but I love that Oda put thought into this repetition of events in his storytelling, where the fact that this world is built up of many nations is actually very, very important and the fact that Luffy saved a lot of them is very, very important. He didn't just randomly save some places and move on. There's a reason and Oda is always thinking about the end-game.
Has there been any indication of how long this plan to save Wano including travel time will take? It took a week or something just to get to Zou. Because the question is will the reverie happen before or after Wano? I think it makes sense for Wano to happen first because it will end with Wano opening its borders then the ruler can also attend the reverie. But I want the reverie now…
