Vivre Card

Vivre Cards (ビブルカード Biburukādo), also known as "the paper of life", are a special form of paper made in the New World. A Vivre Card is made from part of a person’s fingernail which is then made into paper. It is completely waterproof and fireproof, but can be torn and given to a cared person that one would be separated from. The torn piece will point you to the person the Vivre Card was made from by moving in their direction. However, if a Vivre Card begins to burn on its own, that means that the life of the person who gave the Vivre Card is vanishing.

Vivre Cards Received by Straw Hats

 * Portgas D. Ace: The very first Vivre Card received in Arabasta to help Luffy find his brother. It has diminished quite significantly due to Ace being captured and in danger of execution. Upon rescue from the execution scaffold, the card has been restored fully, but when Ace took a direct hit from Akainu through his stomach and died, the card was burnt to nothingness.


 * Lola's Momma: Received from Lola of the Rolling Pirates, she gives Nami a Vivre Card of her "momma" in case they need her assistance in the New World.


 * Silvers Rayleigh: After the trouble they caused on the Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh gives each member of the Straw Hats Crew a Vivre Card to find him once their ship has been coated.
