A great author once said about the Straw Hat's relationship with a certain princess: Vivi is Nakama, I don't think they'd let just anyone marry her." And suddenly I found myself agreeing with that statement and gaining the inspiration to write this.

The crown princess of Arabasta was to be married. According to the news papers, Nefertari Vivi was to wed her childhood friend Kohza. Truly it was a momentous occasion.

As the former rebel leader stood nervously in front of the alter, the members of the suna suna clan did their best to keep his spirits up.

"Don't worry boss! She'll be here." Kebi said soothingly.

"That's not it. I know that she wants to marry me. It's the threatening letters I've been getting from the Straw Hats ever since the engagement went public. That is thething that's making me sweat. The last one that damn sniper sent had an explosive compound hidden in the ink! It nearly blew my head off. And I don't meantheone resting on my neck. At least the rest of them settled for threatening my life, my sanity, my manhood, or a combination of the three if I piss Vivi chan off…" Toto's son grimaced.

The young man shot a sideways glance a glance at king Nefertari Cobra, and captain of the royal guard Igaram. Both were conspicuously stone faced.

"What do you lot think? Are those two like that because their giving their little girl away or because of who their giving her away to?" the former rebel leader opined.

"No bet there boss…" Natto snickered.

"Hey, shut it you three! Here she comes!" Okame hissed.

Kohza felt his breath hitch the moment Vivi stepped into the chapel. She face was hidden behind a white silk veil, and her gown trailed to the ground in silky cascades that reminded the princess's betrothed of a flowing river. The long billowing sleeves hit her hands from view, which clutched at a bouquet of red roses.

The former rebel leader looked around the chapel, wondering if the Pirate king's crew had decided not to crash the wedding.

Kohza snapped out of his stupor when he realized that Vii had reached his side and the minister was saying the vows.

"Do you Kohza take Nefertari Vivi to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?" the vicar gargled through a mouthful of false teeth.

"I do" the groom answered simply.

"Do you Nefertari Vivi take Kohza to be your husband? Will you lovehim, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart's deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?" the elderly priest asked.

"I do…" the bluenette squeaked.

Kohza shot her a strange look. Her voice sounded scratchier that it had that morning.

"And so, by the power vested in me by nation of Arabasta, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The old man wheezed.

"Vivi, you have never been more beautiful in my eyes than at this moment." Kophza said softly as he lifted her veil.

"Bitch, stop buttering me up! Your nasty ass lies still won't make me happy!" the princess cackled as 'she' wiggled in place.

Eyes widening in horror, Kohza threw off the veil and found himself with the immense shock of being nose to snout with Tony Tony Chopper in jumping point.

"GAH!" the former rebel leader yelped, falling on his backside.

"Sorry Kohza! It's looks like I'm being kidnapped…" Vivi said sadly from the upper galleries from where she had been slung over Luffy's shoulder. The effect was ruined somewhat by the huge grin on her face.

"I'm sure we'll feel like returning her in a year or so…maybe." the pirate captain smirked as he took a flying leap out the open window.

"Yah eyelashes, YAH!!" the crowd heard the captain whoop from the outside.

"I gotta be going now! OI! Luffy you bastard, wait for me!!!" the doctor barked as he leaped after his now retreating captain.

"Igaram, I'm somewhat torn…" Cobra said dryly as he got to his feet.

"About what?" the captain of the guard asked as he followed his old friend (all the while mentally reliving the old nightmare of pirate captain Vivi) as his men ran after the happily kidnapped princess…

"Part of me wants to increase the increase the Straw Hat's allowance for managing to pull this off and...keeping her away from Kohza..." The king drawled.

"And the other part?" Igraram asked as the sound of the carnage from Zoro, Franky, and Sanji delaying the soldiers reached his ears.

"The other part of me wants to stake them out in the middle of the desert, buck naked, in the middle of dry season for daring to kidnap my daughter…" the bearded man responded as the two old friends strolled to the chapel doors and watched the Thousand Sunny sail off into the distance.
