This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf Arc.
One Piece is currently in the Elbaf arc, and fans know that this segment of the arc is bound to continue in the story. Elbaf has been absolutely brilliant so far, and it recently saw the release of Volume 113 of the series. With it, Oda started to answer a ton of exciting questions about the arc, and the characters surrounding it, including the members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Eiichiro Oda Confirms Two Pirates Imu Fears The Most In One Piece
Imu is strong, but they have a major fear. These two pirates are Imu's worst nightmare in One Piece.
Much to the surprise of the fans, Oda officially confirmed to the fans that one of the former members of the Straw Hat Pirates would officially join the Celestial Dragons, if things were to go wrong for her. Oda often draws 40 and 60-year-old versions of the Straw Hat Pirates. Usually, he draws both good and bad endings for them. Most recently, in One Piece Volume 113, Oda drew the good and bad endings for Nefertari D. Vivi, and he confirmed officially that in her bad ending, Vivi would go on to join the Celestial Dragons, which makes sense, given that the Nefertari Family was a part of the Founding 20 that created the World Government.

At 60 Years Old, Vivi Would Join The Government Order
- Vivi is an honorary Straw Hat
- Oda confirms Vivi's dark ending
One Piece Volume 113 revealed a ton of exciting information to the fans about Elbaf and all the characters that play a major role in it. Of course, at the moment, Vivi is a major player in One Piece, and fans know for a fact that she will be extremely important in the final saga of the story.

One Piece: Eiichiro Oda Has Already Revealed The True Power Of Zoro's Left Eye
Zoro's left eye has been a huge mystery, but Oda has already revealed its true potential in One Piece.
As such, it is no surprise to see the fans asking Oda about Vivi. Given that Oda has done the good and bad futures for all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates, it makes sense for him to do one for Vivi as well, given that she too is a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and that she carries the mark of the crew that binds them together for eternity. Vivi is an honorary member of the Straw Hat, and now, with the rest of the crew, Oda has also drawn her 40 and 60-year-old versions.
While the good future for Vivi wasn't surprising at all, the bad one certainly shocked some fans. At 40 years of age, Vivi would turn to piracy, but not just any pirate. She would actually go on to loot with her own crew and continue her ways as a criminal. By the time she's 60, Vivi would then become a Celestial Dragon. This means Arabasta and all its secrets would be handed over to the World Government. More than that, this also means that Vivi would be under Imu.

While most fans play this off as a gag, given that it is quite clear that Vivi won't get her bad ending, the fact is that she is sought after by Imu and the World Government. Vivi is currently in hiding and she will eventually have to rejoin the Straw Hat Pirates.
If Imu gets his hands on Vivi, her being forced to be a Celestial Dragon could actually be a reality, just as Imu has done with Gunko, who was clearly forced out of her kingdom and made into a Holy Knight.
