The Vivre Card serves as a supplementary resource for fans of the One Piece manga, providing insights that extend beyond the pages of the series. While it typically summarizes familiar details—such as character heights, birthdays, and hobbies—it occasionally unveils significant revelations ahead of the manga’s narrative. This databook can sometimes lead to debate, particularly when it offers information that clashes with established canon. However, it is important to note that discrepancies are addressed periodically. Although Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, does not directly author this databook, he is involved in its creation and has given approval of its contents.
Oda encourages fans to delve into the Vivre Card for deeper insights into the One Piece universe, signaling that he regards it as a trustworthy source. Below, we will explore the latest updates and information featured in the November 2024 release—including the Seraphim’s Haki abilities, the bounties set by the Cross Guild for members of SWORD, Stussy’s Devil Fruit, and more.

Highlights from the November 2024 Vivre Card Databook
Monkey D. Garp
The Vivre Card introduces Garp as the illustrious “Marine Hero.”At 78 years old, his mere name instills fear among pirates, and he inspires the younger Marines who view him as a pivotal mentor. The databook asserts that Garp retains remarkable strength comparable to his prime, during which he held his own against Gol D. Roger. This claim stands in contrast to the manga’s portrayal of his declining powers attributed to aging.
Garp adheres to a personal motto—”My Justice” —which underscores his free-spirited and independent approach to law enforcement. The databook confirms his ability to wield Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror’s Haki, aligning with his established persona within the series.
Kuzan “Aokiji”
After his defeat against Sakazuki in the battle for Admiral, Kuzan, also known as Aokiji, left the Navy. His journey led him to Blackbeard’s crew, where questions regarding his loyalties emerged. The databook narrates his past apprenticeship under Garp, highlighting their training and Kuzan’s evolving strength.
In a significant plot twist, Kuzan, alongside his new crew, clashed with Garp during a rescue operation for Koby. The Vivre Card raises doubts about Kuzan’s current sense of justice, emphasizing the uncertainty surrounding his true motives. Additionally, it reveals his background originating from the Vespa Kingdom and his fondness for a real-life wine brand, Tio Pepe’s Sherry Wine, although it does not list him as a user of Conqueror’s Haki.
Marshall D. Teach “Blackbeard”
According to the Vivre Card, Blackbeard aspires to cement Hachinosu as a national entity recognized by the World Government, eyeing kingship over the island. He seized control approximately two years prior, capitalizing on the chaos wrought by Trafalgar Law.
His ambition doesn’t stop there; he seeks the Road Poneglyphs to locate the legendary One Piece treasure. The databook mentions his confrontation with Boa Hancock for her Love-Love Fruit and highlights a recent battle against Trafalgar Law, which solidified his reputation as an Emperor of the Sea.
Interestingly, while the Vivre Card confirms Blackbeard’s usage of Armament and Observation Haki, it does not mention Conqueror’s Haki. A symbolic detail included is that Blackbeard’s associated flower, the Red Spider Lily, signifies death in Japanese culture.
Borsalino “Kizaru”
Kizaru‘s narrative in the Vivre Card unveils his internal conflict. Assigned to eliminate his comrade Vegapunk, Kizaru is caught between his long-standing friendships and his duties as an admiral. The conflict culminates during the Egghead Incident, where he showcases his fight both physically and emotionally with Luffy.
Despite his nonchalant exterior, the turmoil over his task weighs heavily on him, presenting a rare glimpse of vulnerability. In his encounters with Luffy, he displays his impressive combat skills, adapting seamlessly to Luffy’s unpredictable style, yet revealing a desire to protect his friends during the confrontation.
Rob Lucci
Revered as the “Massacre Weapon” of the World Government, Rob Lucci has greatly enhanced his abilities during the timeskip. Now armed with an Awakened Devil Fruit, he enforces his brand of “Dark Justice”against all opposition of the government. His ruthlessness is showcased during his confrontations on Egghead.
However, beneath his hardened exterior, a glimmer of humanity is revealed when he begs for mercy for his partner, Kaku, during a heated battle. The databook provides an intriguing tidbit about Lucci’s alternate career path as a pigeon breeder, suggesting a complexity to his character that belies his assassin persona.
Koby
Koby, recognized as a promising future for the Navy by Garp, has undergone significant transformations. His journey from a young, indecisive wannabe Marine to a well-respected officer is detailed in the databook.
The Vivre Card identifies Koby’s origin from the Satsuruzo Kingdom, yet curiously, it does not acknowledge any utilization of Conqueror’s Haki on his part—an apparent oversight that aligns with the ongoing debates surrounding his Honesty Impact technique.
The Seraphim
The Seraphim represent a fusion of the Lineage Factor from the former Warlords alongside the notable durability of the Lunarian race, appearing as teenagers. Notably, the databook confirms their Haki abilities, allowing them to utilize Armament and Observation Haki, although there is no mention of Conqueror’s Haki.
Among the Seraphim, S-Snake is noted for beauty akin to Boa Hancock’s, while S-Hawk is endowed with unparalleled swordsmanship inherited from Dracule Mihawk, marking them as formidable adversaries.
Stussy
A CP0 agent, Stussy has emerged as a pivotal character during the Egghead narrative. The Vivre Card divulges that she is a clone created by Dr. Vegapunk, unexpectedly turning on Kaku and Lucci to protect Vegapunk. Her abilities, drawn from the Bat-Bat Fruit, enable her to incapacitate foes by inducing sleep, though earlier plans for her character included variations of different animal-based Zoan Devil Fruits.
Dr. Vegapunk
Dr. Vegapunk is described as the preeminent scientific mind within the One Piece universe. The databook reflects on his past, including the formation and subsequent dissolution of the secret research team MADS, followed by his research at Punk Hazard and Egghead.
His groundbreaking work includes the transformation of Bartholomew Kuma into a cyborg, alongside the Seraphim project. Vegapunk anticipated the World Government’s actions against him and recorded a crucial message to be shared globally posthumously, ensuring his intellect endures despite fatal blows inflicted on his main body.
Additional Characters and Bounty Insights
The Vivre Card also sheds light on the bounties of members affiliated with SWORD under the Cross Guild. Notably, both Kujaku and Prince Grus possess five-star bounties, contradicting their Rear Admiral status, which typically warrants three stars within the Cross Guild’s system.
Furthermore, it reveals that Ginny, the former partner of Bartholomew Kuma, had a bounty totaling 190 million berries during her tenure as a Revolutionary Army officer. Perhaps most intriguing is the implication that Hibari, the emerging Marine officer, is related to Sakazuki, sharing the same blood type and dialect, potentially confirming their familial bond.
