[Theory] Violet

[24 12 11 to troll]

This is a theory on Violet. aka "Viola".

What we know about Violets history so far:

Spoiler

While Sanji and Zoro were chasing the fairy who stole Shusui, Sanji got distracted by Violet's beauty and dancing and lost Zoro. Then the police came and searched for Violet, so she appeared before Sanji and hugged him so that the guards would pass without suspicion. Sanji then asked whether he could help her. She requested his help until they reach the next town, where she wants him to help her kill a certain man.

Later, Sanji beats a sniper who was aiming at him and Violet, something that both impresses and pleases her.

Violet then eventually lures Sanji into a trap and Sanji was badly beaten and captured. They are next seen in a warehouse with Sanji handcuffed, bloodied and bruised as Violet taunts Sanji over his weakness towards women, revealing that she is an assassin from the Donquixote Family. She then uses her power to read his mind and learns that the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates have formed an alliance. Shocked by this fact, she scans Sanji's mind some more to find the reason they are on the island, but only sees his perverted thoughts. She screams in shock, calls Sanji out on this, and asks him what he's thinking of in this situation.

Sanji answers that he is thinking about her: he noticed that when she asked him to kill a man for her, her tears were sincere. He adds that even if a million people judged her, he never would, for he never doubts a woman's tears. Touched by these words, Violet decides to help Sanji. She takes out her own men just as they were about to kill him, then frees him, and thanks him for earlier. She then tells him that his crew fell for Doflamingo's trap the second they landed and allows him to look into her memories. Sanji learns that Doflamingo never quit the Shichibukai at all and is shocked. Violet tells Sanji to run away and warn his friends, as even though she herself is too scared to oppose Doflamingo, the Straw Hat Pirates might be able to.

She is later seen with Sanji as the latter is warning Franky about Doflamingo's trap via Den Den Mushi. She then hears more of her subordinates about to reach their location, and gives Sanji a map to the toy house, which is actually the Smile factory in disguise. Sanji, fearing Violet would face serious consequences, says she shouldn't help him so much, but she answers that her leaders most likely know about her betrayal already. Sanji then tells her to wait for him at the western shore, which is the rendezvous points with his crew, declaring that he will definitely let her escape. Violet, touched by this, smiles and calls Sanji a romantic fool before running to the shore.

Right after Sanji and Kin'emon met up with Zoro, Violet went to Sanji and informed him that the Thousand Sunny had been seized by Jora.While Zoro and Kin'emon stayed behind at the Corrida Colosseum, Violet went to Green Bit with Sanji. On the way, Violet informed him about the number of Marines present in Dressrosa. Before parting ways with Sanji, she assured him that she will receive protection from the government. After he left, Violet came across a group of people watching the Corrida Colosseum tournament via a visual monitor and sneering at Rebecca. Violet shot the monitor and made her way to the royal palace.

Now what really intrigues me the most is the last section:

Violet came across a group of people watching the Corrida Colosseum tournament via a visual monitor and sneering at Rebecca. Violet shot the monitor and made her way to the royal palace.

Now if we look at this page of the most recent chapter:

Riku refers to somebody called Viola. Strikingly very similar to the name "Violet". Tank has a large role as the head of the national guard which can be heavily associated to the government. Making me believe that Violet is under the protection of the Dressrosa government because she is a subordinate of Doflamingos.

Rebecca is Rikus grand daughter: While she was being sneared at ; Violet had a moment of rage and shot the monitor in the town center. I believe that Violet and Rebecca are closely related.

Rebeccas mother is called Scarlet.
Scarlet and Violet are both colors with rhyming endings ; showing that there is actually quite a high likelihood that they could be sisters or related by other means.

So for now let us assume she is Rebeccas Aunt.

Violet has already consistently helped the Strawhats aswell as betraying the Donquixote pirates. The group which seized control of the kingdom from the Riku family.

Why is this? I belive that Violet is the key to starting up a revolution and taking back the palace. Why would Violet be under protection from Tank? Why would she want Doflamingo/Trebol (whichever one it is) dead? To me these hints (along with possible relations to Riku and Rebecca) point towards Violet turning the tables on Doflamingo.

If you still don't agree ; there is more evidence based upon her name and character design.

Violet Gibson was an assassin who had attempted to kill the Italian Fascist leader Sylvio Berlusconi

The man Violet wants dead is more likely Doflamingo. Even more interesting is the similarities between Dressrosa and Mediterranean countries such as Italy,Spain and Portugal.

From this we can deduct a Mediterranean-esque theme. Further strongly linking both Berlusconi and Doflamingo: proving that there's a high change that Violet will be crucial to this arc.

Meaning that if Doflamingo really does represent Sylvio Berlusconi , Violet will attempt to murder him and bring forth a revolution which is currently building up, this is seen in the scenes beneath the Colosseum and the Tontottan side of things:

Therefore Violet is the key to the main events in this arc aswell as being one of the most important characters.
(Oh and uhh VIOLET FOR STRAWHAT!! But that's another theory )

Nice theory

Thanks bro!

Nice theory man,, and I agree with it. I think Violet will only play role in revealing truth to people about doflamingo or some similar stuff. Thats the best she can do as far as DD and the country goes, because of cource, she can't do anything to doffy directly even if she want him dead. Aside from her relationship point of view, she might help straw hats with her Ability and help them escape (maybe along with her =D).
So yeah, she has a big role in the future events.
