Sorry about the switch in the story here but I thought I needed to finish up what happened in Alabasta. So, back to Kohza and what happened after Vivi left.

Chapter 11

Nefertari Cobra sat on his bed. He had been there ever since he had found out that Vivi had run away. Kohza sat in a nereby chair. "Where are you Vivi?" Cobra asked no one in particular. Kohza shifted uncomfortably in his chair but Cobra didn't notice.

Suddenly, a messanger burst into the bedroom. "King Cobra!" he cried. "I have news of the Princess's wereabouts!!!!!"

Cobra jumped up. Kohza sank lower in his chair. "Where?!?! Tell me everything!!!!!" Cobra cried.

"Some marine's were out on patrol and they saw Vivi. They spotted her with Strawhat Luffy and his crew!!!" the messanger cried.

"No! It can't be true!" Cobra said as he sat down on the bed.

"I'm afraid that's not all sir." the messanger said. "Since the Strawhat's are enemies of the World Government, a bounty has been placed on her head." He handed Cobra a piece of paper. He then left the King and Kohza alone.

Cobra stared at what the messanger had handed him. It was a Vivi's wanted poster. "15 million berries." Cobra said with a sigh. He turned to Kohza and handed him the wanted poster.

Kohza looked down at it. It was a picture of Vivi that had been taken a couple of years ago. Below was her name and bounty. Kohza sighed. He knew that it was time to give the King Vivi's letter. "Here." he said as he handed Cobra the envelope.

"What is this Kohza?" Cobra asked.

"It's...just get a couple of Den Den Mushi's up and read it to Alabasta, okay?" Kohza said.

Cobra looked at Kohza and then at the letter. He sighed. "I trust you Kohza. This better be worth it." Cobra said. He got up and went to make the neccesary preporations.

Three hours later, Cobra was standing in front of a large crowd, ready to read what was in the envelope. He began opening the envelope. A hush fell over the crowd. Cobra pulled out the letter.

"To all of the great people in Alabasta,

Since my father is reading this, it means that you have heard the news. I am now a pirate and have joined the Strawhat Crew. I'm sorry if I have dissapointed any of you. That's the last thing I would want to do. But this is something I had to do. Ever since I watched them sail off two years ago, I have wished to be with them. They are my nakama. I will miss you all so much, but just because I am gone doesn't mean that this country can't continue to grow. I hope that all of you will be happy and follow your dreams. Long live Alabasta!

-Vivi"

Cobra looked up. He had tears in his eyes. "We will miss you Vivi." he said and the whole country cheered. Their princess was happy and that's all that mattered to them.

Cobra walked back inside the palace. "Where's Kohza?" he asked Chaka.

"No one has seen him since this morning. His horse is gone too. We fear he has fled the country." Chaka replied.

"Kohza." Cobra said under his breath. "I wasn't done with you. You knew all along what Vivi was doing. That's the only way he could have had this letter. But, I can't say that I didn't expect this. I knew Vivi missed them. I should have told her to go. That way, I could have at least said goodbye." With that, he walked off.

Chaka watched him walk away. He smiled. "Vivi, we will miss you." he said.

In the Morning on the Island

It was once again time for breakfast. I made my way to the dining room with heavy footsteps. I was starting to think that I should just leave and not say goodbye. But no, I had to say goodbye. I couldn't just leave without an explination.

When I reached the dining room, I took my seat, just like every other morning. But, when Sandra brought the food, I didn't grab anything. I wasn't hungry. About half way through the meal, I stood up. "Can I have everyone's attention please?" I called as I stood up. I waited a minute for things to quiet down before I continued. "I have an announcement to make. I'm...I'm leaving the crew." I said.

There was a shocked silence. Everyone stared at me. Food dropped out of Dalla's mouth. The only person who didn't seem shocked was Sandra, since I had already told her last night.

I gulped, then continued. "I know this may come as a shock to you, but it's something I have to do. I have been with you a long time, but now I have to leave. But before you judge me, I would like to explain myself. Ever since we met, I have been telling you to chase after your dream and I have tried to keep you happy. But now it is time for me to do something that makes me happy. Most of you have met the person that you want to spend your life with, if you know what I mean. Well, now I have found mine and I want to go with him. I'm not saying that this is an easy decision for me. I've thought about it all night. I'll miss you all. We've had our share of good times and we've fought. But no matter what happened, we got through it. And even after I'm gone, I know you'll be fine, because I'm leaving you with someone I trust with my life and my crew." I paused here. "Sandra, my nakama and first mate, you are now captain of this crew. I trust you will keep them safe, even if it costs you your life. I'll miss all of you." I stopped. Here came the hard part. "Goodbye everyone." I said.

Before they had a chance to say anything, I ran out of the galley. I couldn't bare to stay a minute longer. I ran to my quarters. The bags I had packed last night were laying on my empty bed. I picked both of them up and walked out on deck, but dropped them when I saw who was waiting for me. The entire crew was standing on the deck. I dropped to my knees and started crying. I couldn't help it. I was leaving my life long friends, my ship, everything.

"I'll miss you guys!!! Thanks for everything!!!!!" I cried.

"We'll miss you too!" Mellony cried.

"We'll all miss you!!!!!" the crew cried.

"You'll always be our captain." Sandra said with tears in her eyes.

"Don't forget me!!!" I cried.

"Don't worry captain. We can't." Mellony said.

I smiled and stood up. I picked up my bags. I climbed off the boat. When I reached the beach, I turned and looked back. The whole crew was standing there, watching me go. I was guessing they were going to set sail once I left. "Good luck you guys!!!!!" I called back.

They all waved. Then I heard Sandra say "Lower the sails and raise the anchor!!!!! We're going to the next island!!!!!"

"AYE!!!!!" they replied. And with that, they were off.

I stood there and watched them go. Then, I began my walk to Luffy's ship and my new life.

Well, Alley finally left her crew. Will it be worth it? After what she did to Vivi, can she ever truely be a strawhat?
