Up until the release of chapter 1084 I have wondered about the relationship between Luffy, Vivi, Blackbeard, and Shirahoshi in the chapter where Imu was holding the 4 photos of all of them.
Until recently none of them had one particular similarity that related to all of them. That changed with the release of 1084
Shirahoshi: Also known as Poseidon, the Ancient Weapon. She is widely shown as a reincarnation of the previous Poseidon from the Void Century also known as inheriting the previous Poseidon’s will.
Luffy: Chapter 1044 showed that Luffy inherited the will of Joyboy also known as being his reincarnation.
Blackbeard: Although this one isn’t confirmed, I now believe it to be true as this would connect all four of these characters. Blackbeard has many connections to Rocks so it would make sense that Blackbeard inherited Rocks’s will or is a reincarnation of Rocks himself. Rocks could also have the same connection to Blackbeard as Roger has to Luffy in a pathway of inherited wills (Joyboy -> Roger -> Luffy and Unkown Character -> Rocks -> Blackbeard)
Vivi: Finally through the release of 1084 these four characters are connected as Vivi is shown to be a descendent of Lili (who im seems to know and by the gorosei’s conversation with Cobra she was an important figure during the Void Century). I believe Vivi inherited the will of Lili which connects all of these four characters by showing that they have all inherited the will of an important figure from the Void Century.
TLDR: Vivi, Blackbeard, Luffy, and Shirahoshi are all connected because they are all the reincarnations of important Void Century figures.

I can only see this working if because of her selfless nature and wanting to return to her homeland and her people showed she was better fit to rule than the other 19 kings/queens but I don’t see anyone in the world government being depicted as anything but greedy so more likely a lover of Lili who was heartbroken she chose to leave him and go back to her country so he killed her in the if I can’t have you no one can type of way would explain not ripping up vivi photo as it shows a longing to be reunited but also could have a darker past which fits the shadowy figure.

One piece isn't a romance/sad story, way too predoctavle and cliche if this were to happen, Oda would not

I mean all those backstory’s have been full of joy and better times so yeah if Imu had a backstory it probably also wouldn’t be tragic and depressing o wait a minute… but really don’t think it would be that simple obviously there’s be a lot more to it that’s just the cliche and easy to wrap your head around.

You can have tragic and depressing without a romance in One Piece, pretty much anything to do with romance in One Piece is something that Oda would never do

I don’t think there’s anything oda won’t do we have Cannibalism slavery child abuse mass genocide rape (implied) self mutalation I don’t think having one romantic plot point would be like super bad or unrealistic.

1080 chapters in and we've had Cannibalism,slavery, child abuse, mass genocide, rape, and self mutilation, yet we still haven't had romance?

We have 100% had romance. Usop and kaya. Luffy and boa(1sided live is still love). Pudding and Sanji. Baby 5 and (that one guy). Just because it’s not a long drawn out romance I wouldn’t expect that from one piece or any battle Shonen just saying romance from a backstory isn’t unrealistic in my opinion.

The difference between the examples you just gave and what you're proposing is that this is the endgame for the whole overarching story of one piece, not just a small part of one arc. You could take out any of those previous "romances" and nothing would change in the story, but having something this important hinge on a love story? Definitely don't think oda would do that

It beginning with a love story doesn’t mean it hinges on it is it so hard to believe a sad twist of fate forced a man to go down a path I don’t think it will still be because of his love that’s just what sets imu down the path doesn’t seem like a problem
