Introduction

In early September, a new set of One Piece VIVRE CARDS was released, and I, Zorilaba, completely missed it until now! The latest information is truly astonishing, and while some of you may already know this, I can’t help but share my excitement about these revelations. Even if you haven’t purchased the VIVRE CARDS, there’s still time to catch up, as two booster packs were released on the 4th. This week, with the latest One Piece chapter on hiatus, let’s dive into the details!

New Characters and Surprising Connections

This booster pack focuses on characters who played significant roles in the Wano Country arc. Some characters, like Nibai and Aramaki (Green Bull), are making their VIVRE CARD debuts, while others, like Shanks and Buggy, have had multiple cards released before. One of the most shocking revelations is about Queen, whose real name has been confirmed as Scien. Initially, I thought it was just a nod to ‘science,’ but the history section reveals that 36 years ago, he had a child. This child is none other than Franky!

Franky’s Parentage Revealed

Franky, who is currently 36 years old, was abandoned at the age of 10 in Water Seven. The timeline suggests that Queen, who is from the Grand Line, could have given birth to Franky in the South Blue and then abandoned him. This new information strongly implies that Queen is indeed Franky’s father. Interestingly, while Queen’s first name is revealed, his last name remains unknown. If Queen is Franky’s father, could it be that Franky’s full name is Cati Scien?

Revisiting the Wano Country Arc

This revelation makes me want to revisit the Wano Country arc. The fact that both Franky and Sanji, who are both connected to the MADS scientists, ended up as members of the Straw Hat crew is a twist of fate. Despite their lineage, both characters found themselves in the care of remarkable individuals, shaping their paths.

Age and Status of Characters

Every time a new VIVRE CARD set is released, I eagerly check the age section for characters whose status is uncertain. For instance, Kaido’s age is still not listed, leaving us to wonder if he truly is the strongest creature alive. On the other hand, Gerunica, who survived a confrontation with Kaido, is listed as 42 years old, with a note about capturing a photo of Gear 5 Luffy just before his demise.

Here’s the lineup for the latest booster pack, including new cards:
