Why would she suddenly decide to go out to sea with pirates after settling all of the above issues? She'd basically be abandoning everything she fought so hard for during that whole decade, and that would not be very good storytelling at all, I'm afraid......
It's a similar issue with Violet/Viola, as well. It was clearly pointed out this very chapter that she chose to work under Dofla so he would spare the former king (who is HER father). Why should she suddenly up and run out to sea with pirates, which would just risk her FURTHER jeopardizing the Riku family's reputation?  |
Sad story is poor excuse not to join
Their sad story is to me is kinda irrelevant and not a good reason to not join the Straw hats. Robin and Nami both lost their mothers to brutal people, Franky kept Thomas Pluto designs hidden from the WG and the WG took Thomas away, what about Jinbe's situation. Jinbe has similar status and responsibilities like Viola and Rebecca when it comes to country and duty. He says one day he will meet up with the Straw Hats. Which arch do you think it will be? The Straw hats have there fair share of sad stories, struggles, lost love ones, and their fair share of sacrifice. What will be left for Rebecca and Viola when Dalfamingo is defeated or loses control of Dressrosa? What if Rebecca or viola do the same like Jimbe and decide to join later after the responsibilities are finished?

Yes, I definitely believe both princesses would be needed most in their home country.....

Brooke is Jack of all trades master of none
Brooke's astral projection does not compare to Viola's powers at all. Shoot even Luffy's mantra is better then that.
