As one of the most popular anime series, One Piece has kept its fans engaged over the years. However, the ending of the series left fans disappointed when Monkey D Luffy chose Nefertari Vivi as his wife instead of Boa Hancock or any other female character from the series. Many fans were curious, trying to guess who would be the lucky woman to become the Pirate King’s wife by the series’ end.
As the story unfolds, numerous female characters have grown close to Luffy, including Boa Hancock, who even openly confesses her love for him. Despite this, Boa Hancock doesn’t win Luffy’s heart, as Eiichiro Oda revealed that Nefertari Vivi would be Luffy’s spouse in the future. The creator answered this in the SBS One Piece column after being asked about Luffy’s future wife.
Oda prioritizes the thrill of Luffy’s adventures to become the Pirate King rather than focusing on the romance. However, if he had to choose one, he’d go for Nefertari Vivi. The reason behind this is because of her ancestry and her resemblance to Nefertari Lily. Nefertari Vivi is believed to be the reincarnation of the former queen of Alabasta, who lived 800 years ago. In the past, Nefertari Lily was Joy Boy’s love interest and was the first known person to possess the rarest and finest sword called Shodai Kitetsu.
Additionally, Luffy is also believed to be Joy Boy’s reincarnation. Therefore, the ending of the series might include a flashback of Joy Boy’s love story with Queen Lily, ending with Luffy and Nefertari Vivi standing beside each other as a married couple.
In conclusion, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, confirmed that Nefertari Vivi would be Luffy’s wife in the story’s ending, despite the numerous hearts captivated by Luffy throughout the series. And the reason behind this is due to Vivi’s ancestry and her resemblance to Nefertari Lily, Joy Boy’s past love interest. The ending of One Piece might ultimately reveal a flashback of Joy Boy and Ratu Lily’s romantic story, making fans’ hearts delighted.
