For almost three months, after the war unleashed by Sir Crocodile, there was finally peace in Alabasta. Luffy and his crew, who saved Alabasta from Sir Crocodile and his Baroque-Works, were already in a long time at sea. The people of Alabasta had worked very hard in the past few months to rebuild the destroyed cities. Just in time for King's Birthday, the construction work was finished and the people of Alabasta could finally begin to live again normally.
Not just the big cities like Arbana and Rainbase were rebuilt, but also the small towns and oasis like Ido and Elumalu. Also the oasis of Yuba, to which Toto had never ceased to believe, was rebuilt. And in this small oasis the story began:

It was 9.00 o' clock in the morning but for Kohza it was still in the middle of the night when he was suddenly awakened by his father.
"Get up, Kohza! It is already 9.00 o' clock!", his father yelled at him through half-open window.
"What do you mean by 'already'?", Kohza said with yawning voice and stretched himself spasmodically in his bed.
"Have you already forgotten about it?", Toto asked his son stunned.
Kohza stared at him unknowing and replied: "What?"
"Today's King Cobra's birthday!", the old man yelled at Kohza.
"It's all right! Then we just send him a card and we're done!", Kohza suggested relaxed.
"Are you mad? The king has invited us personally! And you should know that very few were only invited because the King didn't want to celebrate that great!", Toto said excitedly to his son.
Kohza was silent for a moment and then he said:
"But why us? I mean, that he has invited you is so obvious. You finally have always trusted him and never doubted him. But ... "
Kohza was again silent for a moment and Toto waited nervously that he went on.
"But...why does he invite just me? After all, I was the rebel leader and I fell for Sir Crocodile's trick. I really thought that the king lies to his people and betrays! And then when I knew the truth, I couldn't even stop my own people! He wouldn't invite such a failure like me!", Kohza criticized himself in a serious tone.
"Don't talk nonsense, boy!", his father shouted at him.
Kohza looked at him in amazement.
"Everyone makes mistakes! But the King can forgive! Or has he, as you appeared at the palace during the war, accused you in any way?", Toto continued his argument. Kohza thought back to the situation and noticed that his father was actually right.
"No, he didn't!", he answered his father.
"There you are! Then hurry up and get ready now, otherwise we won't make it in time to Arbana!", Toto asked his son.
When Toto was gone, Kohza was again falling into his bed and thought of the coming evening.
"Well, if that's good times!", he wondered insecurely.

After about 10 minutes Kohza was finished and he was about to go to his father. He looked again toward the house and wanted to go in that moment, but suddenly he saw a strange girl lying in the sand.
"Who's that?", he asked himself unknowing.
After a few seconds thinking time, he finally ran up to her to find out what had happened.
"Hey, little one! Get up! ", Kohza said to her.
But she wasn't responding and slowly the brown-haired man got scared that it could be something serious.
"What's wrong with her? Is she thirsty?", he asked himself nervously.
He quickly carried her to the related well and tried to give her some water, but she could only swallow painfully. Kohza wondered what he should do with her now and decided to bring her to his house first.

There he laid her gently in his bed, covered her with his blanket and laid her a wet washcloth on the forehead.
"I'm just wondering what a little girl is doing alone in the desert? Did she get lost or did she lost her parents?", the rebel leader thought worriedly.
In that moment his father shouted through the window: "Kohza! What's keeping you? We need to..."
But his father stopped when he saw the little girl in his son's bed.
"Who's that, Kohza?", Toto asked surprised the brown-haired man.
"I don't know! I've just seen her half dead with thirst on the outskirts of Yuba and that's why I've given her some water. But it looks like she needs some rest.", Kohza explained to his father.
Toto looked sadly and disappointed at the same time to the ground, because he knew he had to stay there to help his son with looking after the girl.
He had in fact, as Yuba was rebuilt, promised to take care of any injured passengers, who came to the oasis. He emphasized that there would be nothing more important than helping people who need help. Kohza remembered those words, but knew that the King's birthday was also important for his father.
"Hey, why are you looking so sad? You should rejoice that the King has invited you!", the young man tried to cheer his father up.
"Yes, but Kohza! You know what I said then ", Toto muttered in a low voice.
"No `but ! You have to go to Arbana now and celebrating with the King his birthday!", Kohza contradicted with a grin.
"But what about the girl? We have to...", Toto tried to explain to his son, who interrupted him and tried to reassure him.
"You don't have to do anything! I've found the girl and I'm the one who has to care about her! And now hurry up, otherwise you'll be late! That doesn't look good at all!", Kohza discussed with him while he pushed him out the door.
Toto turned around and looked worriedly toward the house.
"Somehow I can't help feeling that this is just an excuse from him, that he doesn't have to come along! But where should he have this girl from? ", Toto pondered suspiciously.
But eventually he went away from the house and accepted that he had to go alone to Arbana.

Sighing, the rebel leader threw himself in his hammock in the house and was relieved that he hadn't come along.
"It wasn't planned, but nevertheless it seems to me handy!" Kohza noted with satisfaction.
Thoughtfully, he looked over to the strange girl, hoping that soon she woke up to ask her about her name, and other things. Shortly thereafter, he fell asleep in his hammock.

In the meantime four hours have passed and Toto and his men had arrived in Rainbase, where they took a break. While Toto's companions were looking around in the city and were talking to people about the last 3 exhausting months, the old man looked for a place in the shade to rest. For him there was only one subject on which he could ponder for hours:
Was that girl a trick or did Kohza really care about her?
Because of all the heat it was still difficult for Toto to grasp a clear idea.
"Maybe I should just trust him!", he mused, trying to finally get some sleep.

At the same time in Yuba, Kohza woke up and started stretching, still a bit sleepy, in his hammock. With half-open eyes, he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and fell in shock from his hammock.
"Ouch! What? Almost 1.30 pm? That means that I've slept about four hours!", Kohza noticed surprised.
After the pain had subsided slowly, he looked to the girl and hoped he didn't wake her up by his crash. He went to her and bent slightly over her bed. At that moment, he suddenly felt like a hand pulling on his shirt. He looked down and noticed...
"You're awake!", the brown-haired man said surprised to the girl.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked at Corsa with a distant look. A couple of seconds the two were staring at each other without saying a word.
"What's your name, girl?" Kohza asked her gently.
But the girl continued with staring at him and watched how he knelt in front of her bed.
"What has happened? Did you loose your parents? ", he asked her worriedly and stroked her left cheek. At that moment the girl tore her eyes wide open and blushed a little. Kohza suspected that her fever had risen again and took the washcloth that had slipped from her forehead. He got up and went to a bucket of water to make the washcloth wet again. The girl watched his every move until he got back to her bed. He carefully laid the wet washcloth on her forehead and asked her again:
"Please tell me your name! I can definitely help you!"
But the girl was stubborn and didn't speak a single word with him. Slowly he began to despair.
"Ok! How do you want! Then I'll go to gasp of fresh air! Perhaps you are thinking about it!", Kohza suggested as he rose from the ground.
Without saying another word, he went to the door and opened it. The girl was staring at him all the time. But when he turned to her, she looked away quickly and the brown-haired man then left the house. After he had closed the door behind him, he sighed wearily.
"It's really a hard nut! But somehow I have to find out how her name is and where she comes from! I must necessarily think of something! ", Kohza considered thoughtfully.

At the same time in Rainbase, Toto had left his place in the shade and looked a bit around in the town. He tried to distract himself with the attractions in Rainbase. But there was just nothing in the world that could stop him from thinking of his son.
After half an hour, so at 3.00 o' clock, Toto and his men found themselves together again and continued their journey to Arbana.

Meanwhile Kohza was sitting pensively on a stone and wondered, what he could do to bring the girl to speak.
"If nothing comes to my mind, I'll really get a problem!", Kohza said depressed to himself.
Suddenly a voice said from behind:
"What problem do you have? Maybe I can help?"
Kohza turned startled around and saw Okame, one of his best friends, looking at him smiling.
"Okame! What...I mean...well...", he stammered nervously.
"It's okay, Kohza! Although there is nothing to me, I would still like to know if I can help you!", Okame calmed him and sat down beside him on the stone.
"After all, I want a good friend to help, if he has problems.", she told him.
"Yes, you're right! But I don't know if you can really help me!", the young man tried to give her to understand.
"Just tell me what's going on! Then we'll see if I can help you or not!", Okame suggested with a smile.
So Kohza began to tell her everything.

After he had done that, Okame didn't look that cheerful anymore and realized why the rebel leader was so worried.
"I understand your concerns! You would like to help the girl, but if you don't know anything about her, then it's really hard to do! ", Okame summarized.
"Exactly, I just don't know what to do with her yet! She makes absolutely no signs that she wants to talk with me!", Kohza added.
For a moment there was silence. But suddenly the brown-haired woman rose like lightning from the stone and made him a proposal.
"How about if I would talk to her? Perhaps she trusts a female person more. It's worth a try, right? ", she suggested decisively.
At first Kohza was staring at her a little skeptical and then he said:
"Well if you mean! There are still little miracles!"
Immediately, the both were on the way to Toto's house. A few meters before, Okame asked Kohza for something.
"You wait here, please! She shouldn't believe that I was sent here to question her.", she told him.
The young man agreed and hid behind a house while he watched Okame disappeared in the house and hoped that she will have success.

Since Okame was gone into Toto's house, there were already 20 minutes gone. Slowly Kohza couldn't hold it out anymore and he would prefer to storm immediately into the house. But in that moment he heard how the door opened. Like a lightning he stood up and ran to Okame to learn from her what she had found out.
"And? What is? Did she tell you her name and what happened to her?", the brown-haired man wanted to know excitedly.
"Yes! She says that her name is Tracey and that...", the young woman replied with her head down and without ending her sentence.
"What's the matter? Is something wrong? Why didn't you go on with talking?", Kohza asked impatient.
Okame slowly lifted her head again and went on.
"Well...she can...she can't remember anything!", she tried to explain it piece by piece.
Kohza was stunned when he learned that and couldn't bring out a single word anymore.
But he pulled himself together and asked her:
"But...but why can't she remember anything more?"
"She couldn't even remember that.", the young woman gave him as answer.
The rebel leader was speechless, wondering nervously how it should proceed.
"Oh, Kohza! By the way, the little girl wants to talk to you! She says it's very important!", she informed his friend.
With this sentence Okame brought him, who was totally confused, back into the now. "What! So very suddenly she wants to talk to me? Why? ", Kohza asked confused.
"She didn't say!", Okame answered.
"Probably it's something between you and her only!", she surmised.
"I have to go now! Good luck!", the brown-haired woman said and walked away.

With heart pounding from excitement, Kohza went inside and closed the door. He looked nervously over at Tracey, who now no longer lay in bed, but sat. He slowly walked up to her and knelt in front of her bed to be with her on an equal footing. Tracey looked at him with a serious look, what made the young man very confused, because he didn't know how he should respond. The first of the two who spoke up was Tracey.
"Why did you save me?", she asked him in a grave tone, without looking at him.
"What?", Kohza replied confused on this strange question.
"I asked you why you saved me!" Tracey repeated her question angry.
The rebel leader was very surprised about this tone and fell from fright backward.
"I understood your question! I just don't know why you ask me such a question! I think the answer is clear!", Kohza told her while he brought himself back to his starting position.
"Why should this be that clear?", Tracey wanted to know and said this in a disinterested tone.
"It's easy! It's self-evident that you help injured people! And besides, this is the motto of this oasis", the brown-haired man told her.
But she wasn't satisfied with this explaining and went on with asking.
"Why should you help someone that you don't know at all?", the red-haired girl asked him bluntly.
But Kohza knew the answer to every question and explained it to her:
"Where there is the difference? The doctors don't know all of their patients personally but they're helping them! And even if the patient isn't a good person, they do! They don't care about it! They meet only their duty, and indeed to help people!"

Tracey paused and then said finally:
"And what if I didn't want to be rescued at all? For me there is no more reason to life! I can remember nothing, except my name, and I have no one for whom it is worth living!"
Kohza's face turned into an angry look that you could barely even put into words. In a flash he got up, grabbed Tracey, with a firm hand grip, moved her over to himself and yelled at her: "Are you really completely daft? How can you just say something? There is always someone for whom it is worth living! As long as there is this person, you have a reason to live!"
Tracey couldn't hold back her tears. And finally they rolled down her cheek and landed on the bedcover. She just didn't know how she should interpret Kohza's words. On the one hand, she was pretty mad at him that he had yelled at her, but on the other hand, she was also touched that she was worth so much that he didn't want her to throw away her life.
"Why...why...did you scream at me like that? I...I'm telling the truth! I don't have anyone! Why should I still live? ", Tracey tried to make it clear to the young man, while her tears disabled her when she was speaking.
At that moment, Kohza did something Tracey had never expected. He pulled her to himself, hugged her and wrapped his arms around her.
"But you've got a reason to live," he whispered with a pleasant voice into her ear.
Tracey's tears ran down her quivering eyes and landed on the bedcover again.
The brown-haired man went on:
"You can't remember your past, but it doesn't matter because you will now start a new life! I promise that I will always look after you and I'll try that someday you will feel to be something special for someone too!"
Tracey didn't even know how to answer him, but somehow she felt that Kohza would soon be the reason or the person to live on for. While she thought this, she pressed herself to him more and more, because he was the most important thing in her life now and when he no longer would have been there, it would have been no reason for her to continue living.
