Kohza and Bellamy vs. Vivi. Here we go.

Vivi stood stern in front of her two enemies, her strings resting loosely from her finger tips. She knew full well that she was taking a chance with this fight. After all, she hadn't had a chance to truly test her abilities in a completely uncontrolled fight. Now here she was, getting ready to fight two devil fruit users by herself. In the back of her mind, a small voice screamed, "Are you out of your mind?"

However she had meant what she had said to Luffy. She needed to do this on her own. "Ok boys, bring it."

"Oh don't worry, we shall." Kohza raised his hands, apparently wanting the first move. "Mizu Blast!" A powerful stream of water rushed towards Vivi, but she was ready for it.

"Peacock Spider Dome!" She crossed her arms and her strings moved immediately, almost as if they responded to her thoughts rather than her movements, forming a dome around her, with the ends digging into the ground. The blast of water hit the dome but never budged it. Once the blast was finished she loosened the strings, letting them fall from their dome shape.

She was lucky that she did it then. Any later and she wouldn't have seen Bellamy coming straight at her. Thinking quickly she jumped to the side, letting a string hang loosely where she was. Once Bellamy was entangled within the string she pulled hard, using Bellamy's own momentum to swing him around, sending him back where he came from.

Bellamy was momentarily disoriented but regained himself just enough to turn his body so that his spring legs hit the building first, then set up for his counter-attack.

"Spring Javelin!" He sprang off of the wall, made a wedge with his hands, and pointed his body directly at her. She jumped up and let him pass directly over her, but was unable to dodge the oncoming blast of water that Kohza sent her way. She skidded along the ground to a stop. She got back to her feet, but was met with Bellamy's spring powered punch to her stomach. She was sent flying back into the side of a building and fell to her knees, coughing and clutching her stomach.

Kohza wasted no time with his next attack. "Mizu Bullet!" He created a small water sphere and sent it straight towards her, hitting her right in the cheek. "And again." Another one, this time hitting her in her side. "And again." One more to her gut. "And Mizu Machine Gun!" He fired them off in quick succession, and all of them hit their target on various points on her body. Her face held nothing but pain and anguish, but she never screamed once. When Kohza was finished, she staggered a little, but remained on her feet. She then looked Kohza straight in the eye and said, "Is that all you got?"

Bellamy then got his next attack ready. "Spring Snipe!" He launched himself at Vivi, aiming a fist at her face. Vivi ducked the punch and attempted to attack Bellamy as he flew past, but barely caught sight of the many water bullets that Kohza sent her way. She jumped to the side and tried to attack back. "Peacock Spider……" The attack never even truly initiated. Bellamy had come from behind Vivi and attacked, hitting her square in her back. She was sent sailing across the ground and skidded to a stop. Bellamy bounced back next to Kohza, crossed his arms, and smiled. Vivi slowly stood, spitting out a little bit of blood, and stared defiantly at them.

Kohza smiled. "Do you really think that you still have a chance at winning this? You may be able to take us one at a time, but we just proved that against the both of us, you have no chance of winning." Bellamy laughed from his spot beside Kohza. "You are going to wish that you let straw hat help you with this battle."

Over near the Merry, Luffy stood nearly seething. Partly because he had wanted to fight, and partly because his nakama was being hurt and there was nothing he could do about it. True he could have used his position as captain to override her decision to fight alone, but that wasn't him. He knew automatically that if he did that, she would probably never trust him again. So he stood, balled his fist, clenched his teeth, and watched.

Vivi looked Bellamy in the eye. "I don't know who you are, or what your connection with Kohza is, but I do know that you wish to cause harm to my nakama. So I will go through you if I have to." She began to think. 'Ok, I can't fight them both at the same time. They just proved that. I'm going to have to get rid of one of them first.' She looked from Kohza to Bellamy a few times, and then stopped her stare at Bellamy. 'Going strictly by powers, Bellamy seems to be the weaker of the two. He also seems to have the shortest temper as well. I go for him first.' "Peacock String Bullet!" She shot one of her strings straight at Bellamy.

Bellamy smiled and hopped to the side avoiding the attack, then prepared his own attack. "Spring Ram!" He sprang off at her holding both fists out in front of him. She brought her strings up to block, keeping Kohza in mind. And sure enough Bellamy stopped and bounced away at the last minute, followed by dozens of water balls heading straight for her.

Reacting quickly she made her dome and protected herself, then let it fall and looked for Bellamy. He came from her right side, aiming both of his fists at her once again. She ducked under him once again and looked for Kohza's attack. However when it never came she smiled. 'Of course, he won't attack me while Bellamy is near.' She decided to use his temper against him. "What's the matter? Afraid that I'm gonna beat you with just one hit as well?" She remembered the brief dialogue that he and Luffy shared.

She had pushed the right button and Bellamy took the bait easily. "Ok, keep talking after this." He planted himself and got ready. "Spring Hopper!" He began to bounce many times around her picking up speed every time he bounced. Vivi smiled at this. 'Perfect. Now Kohza can't use his powers to hit me.' She observed his bouncing for a moment, and then made her move. "Peacock Spider……." She raised her right arm into the air, keeping her fingers connected. Her strings all shot up and twisted around one another to form one large string. She waited and waited and waited until…. "Slam!" She brought it down hard to the ground at her side, with Bellamy under it. He was hit so hard that he actually bounced off of the ground, allowing her to set up for her finishing touch. "And Runback!" She sent the string straight out in front of her and brought it back, hitting him hard and sending him flying through several buildings before he finally stopped just outside of one building.

Vivi smiled at him. "Well, it was more than one hit, but you still went down." She then turned a cold stare back at Kohza. "And now it's just you and me."

Kohza looked on in utter disgust. He couldn't believe that Bellamy had allowed himself to be beaten so easily buy this one woman. 'Figures, you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself.' "Don't get cocky. You may have beaten him, but I still have the greatest ability of all devil fruit users. You still don't have a chance against me. Besides, I'm sure that the rest of my crew should be returning soon to finish up this little battle." Unfortunately he was in for a rude awakening.

"So you are the one that tried to hurt my beautiful ladies." From behind Vivi came the voice of the ships slightly perverted cook. And he was with the navigator, the doctor, the archaeologist, and the sniper/shipwright.

"What??!! But this can't be! There is no way that you could have beaten them!"

"Please, do you think we spent this whole time letting Luffy fight all of our battles for us?" Nami asked, waving her climatact.

"We got better while we were with him!" Chopper yelled out.

"It's true. Even I was able to win on my own." Usopp said proudly.

"I will not forgive you for attempting to hurt this crew." Came a voice that Kohza recognized.

"M-M-Miss All Sunday??? Why are you here?" Kohza was in shock.

"I am a part of sencho-san's crew as well. And I no longer go by my Baroque Works call sign. My name is Nico Robin."

The name rang bells inside of Kohza's head. "Wait, not the same Nico Robin with the 79,000,000 berry bounty on her head?" He remembered that particular bounty by the fact that she was so young when he saw the bounty.

"I do not wish to speak of that right now. Right now, protecting this crew is my only concern."

Before anyone could move, Luffy noticed that his crew was short one person. "Oi, where's Zoro?"

(Back at the cliff)

"What the hell??? Why am I back here again???" Zoro found himself back at the same cliff for the 30th time.

"Damn it all, I have to hurry up before they steal away all of the fun." And with that he set off………

In the direction of the ship.

(Back at the ship)

Luffy's question didn't take anyone by surprise. In fact no one was expecting Zoro to be there. "Eh, he's probably still lost somewhere on the island. Don't worry about him." Nami said rather nonchalantly.

"Yea besides, we need to focus on kicking this bastard's ass right now." Sanji was just about to unload when……

"No!" The captain's voice rang loudly throughout the area. "Vivi said she wanted to fight this battle on her own, so we have to respect that."

Everyone looked at Luffy, Sanji on the verge of strongly protesting, when Vivi spoke up. "That is right. Luffy, Robin, and Chopper can't help me anyway since he can control water. And this is personal. I have to finish this on my own.

Everyone listened intently, and decided that she was right, though Sanji did so with a lot of reluctance.

Vivi then turned back to Kohza. "Ok, Kohza, you and me. Let's end it."

And there it is. Will Vivi be able to defeat her old friend? Will the rest of the crew really be able to keep themselves from interfering? And will Zoro ever be able to find his way back to the ship? Only time will tell.

As usual, R&R, and I will post the next chap as soon as I can.
