So I was just recently rewatching the anime, specifically the Alabasta Arc, and that kind of got me to thinking. Ever since the end of the Alabasta Arc, Vivi decided to stay behind to be the Princess of her kingdom of Alabasta. And then at the end Nico Robin joined the crew. But I was wondering if later on in the story, if Vivi had ever decided to officially rejoin the Straw Hat Pirates for good or not?
Please note, that I am still not caught up with the anime or manga yet at this point. But I would still like to know. The farthest I have watched to in the anime so far, is up to the Amazon Lily Arc. But I haven't really been watching more of the Amazon Lily Arc lately, because I decided to go back and rewatch the Alabasta Arc. And as for the manga, I've only read about up to the beginning of the Jaya Arc.
But anyways, I would like to know if Vivi has officially rejoined the Straw Hat Pirate Crew or not, since staying behind in Alabasta.
Another thing that got me thinking about this is this Youtube video:
