Wand - I'd have to give this one to Usopp and Franky. Nami has already impressed us by taking down Brulee, was critical in defeating Cracker and escaping from the Seducing Woods, and Oda already foreshadowed that she may have the capability to use Big Mom's weather powers against her. I think that's probably enough to add to her resume for this arc, in addition to whatever she's left to do. Of all the measures that we know have been implemented against Kaido, they all seemed rather basic, and meant for ordinary human beings.....impaled with spears? Hung by a rope? Torture? I think it's been obvious for a very long time now that the means to defeating Kaido will involve forces of the supernatural variety.

Vivre Card - I don't know if it was ever confirmed that the Beast Pirates were using a Vivre Card to find Zou. By that same token, it was never confirmed how Pekoms found Zou either, it appears we all just got comfortable with the idea that as a Mink he could "naturally" find it. Totto Land opened our eyes to idea that Minks exist in places other than Zou, I don't think it'd be far-fetched to entertain the possibility that Kaido could be using a mink to do it (against their will or not). So even if it is truly a vivre card, it could just as easily be some Mink that we haven't even meet yet that has a vivre card for a family member on Zou. But with that said, I do still like your possibilities of the Vivre card they may have being someone that the Straw Hats know well.

Reverie - You definitely make a good point about Big Mom's treachery eliminating the reason that they may be pushed out of the Reverie. I'd imagine Morgans is probably a big time family friend, so they could probably tell him to keep the Big Mom business on the hush if they wanted to. In either case, I do believe that this will all end with Sanji unltimately reconciling with his family (after a good old-fashioned ass kicking to the big bros), but not necessarily that it will be the Straw Hats ticket in. Sabo and Dragon don't need Luffy coming to their rescue, if anything it'd be the other way around. The Vinsmokes will just be yet another Royal Family that has Luffy's back, which will serve as a plot point when the Revos flip everything on the World Nobles faces. As Fandom pointed out, they've been background noise long enough, and Dressrosa officially put them in the limelight. The Reverie is literally the biggest stage there is for them to send their message, so I will be shocked if they DON'T show up.

Pound - There are quite a few unresolved plot points around Lola right now, and they are all centered on her past. Pudding's flashbacks with her, Loki's proposal, her belief that Big Mom still loves her.....unless Lola herself is going to show up, then I think Pound may end up being the unexpected source for some of these answers. LinLin's love for her children seems conditional (funny how she also inherited that from Carmel) and with Pound still being there on the island all this time, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the one who put it in Lola's head to marry who she wanted, and live freely.
