Nefertari Vivi, Baroque Works, and a One Piece Metal Charm

One Piece Vivi Wanted Plate Metal Keychain — Baroque Works Series Part 3

A Wanted Poster Rendered in Metal

This rectangular metal plate keychain translates one of One Piece’s most recognizable visual devices — the in-universe Wanted Poster — into a wearable charm. The plate is finished with color, likely through enamel paint or a printed coating, and suspended from a ball chain. “WANTED,” “DEAD OR ALIVE,” and the bold Western-outlaw typography are fixtures of how One Piece depicts its pirate world, and that aesthetic maps naturally onto this compact format.

The “Part 3” designation indicates this keychain belongs to a serialized product line, which was a standard approach for character merchandise in Japan during the early 2000s — manufacturers would release multiple waves under a shared design concept. The specific producer for this series has not been confirmed. The era’s licensed One Piece merchandise came from several companies, including Bandai, Amada, and other licensees. Likewise, the original distribution channel — UFO catcher crane game prize, standalone toy or convenience-store purchase, or capsule-toy release — is not clear from available information. All three were common routes for this type of product.

Princess Vivi and the Organization Behind the Owl Symbol

The character featured here is Nefertari Vivi, princess of the desert kingdom of Alabasta. Her role in One Piece is unusual: she spends a prolonged period working undercover inside the criminal organization Baroque Works under the codename Ms. Wednesday, gathering intelligence to protect her kingdom from the group’s efforts to seize it from within.

Baroque Works is a secret society whose senior members go by numerical and day-of-the-week aliases — Mr. 0, Ms. Valentine, and so on. Its true leader is Sir Crocodile (Mr. 0), one of the seven Warlords of the Sea. The organization’s owl symbol, which reportedly appears on this keychain alongside the Baroque Works logo, is connected in the story to the group’s intelligence network — an appropriate emblem for a society built on secrecy and information control.

After eventually sailing with the Straw Hat crew to reclaim Alabasta, Vivi chooses to remain in her kingdom rather than continue as a pirate. Her farewell to the crew is among the most affecting moments in the series. She has stayed a popular figure with the fanbase despite long stretches of absence from the main narrative.

Merchandise From One Piece’s Alabasta Period

The Alabasta arc ran in the original manga across roughly volumes 12 to 23, covering approximately 1999 to 2002, with the anime broadcast reaching its climax around 2001 to 2002. Merchandise tied to this arc — including plate-style keychains like this one — was most likely manufactured somewhere in the 2000 to 2005 window, though the precise date cannot be confirmed from the information available.

Character plate keychains were a prolific format in that period: lightweight, inexpensive to produce, and easy to carry or attach to a bag. For collectors outside Japan, early One Piece merchandise from the Alabasta era is less commonly encountered than current releases, since the global distribution of Japanese licensed goods was far narrower at the time. Items that specifically feature Baroque Works as an organization — rather than individual protagonist characters in isolation — were also produced in smaller variety than hero-focused merchandise, which gives this keychain a particular place within the range of period material from the series.
