Quick Summary
Vivi and Kohza miss each others.

Long Summary
Standing in the middle of the path to Alubarna, Vivi is waiting to be seen by the rebellion leader Kohza so as to prevent the battle. But suddenly a canon is fired in front of the rebel army that arrive at full speed. This creates a huge sand wall between Vivi and the rebels preventing them to see each other. This mischief act is in fact the action of Baroque Works minions who have infiltrated the Arabasta army.

In the tumult of the rebel army, Vivi tries to call her friend, without success and the battle between Royal and Rebel armies starts. In the same time, Vivi becomes extramely vulnerable without defense in the middle of an army in motion. Fortunatly Carue was able to defend her but is severely injured in the process. Suddenly Usopp is coming to help riding a camel.

Meanwhile, Sanji came to rescue a second Usopp who has been beaten quite easily by Mr. 2. Sanji worries then for Vivi knowing that she will face an imposter. However, Vivi notice the fake-Usopp weird behaviour who does not consider Carue as a friend. Asking for Usopp, to prove their friendship, Mr.2-Usopp shows his bandage. But it does not appear to be the correct sign, Carue in an ultimate effort carries Vivi away while Mr. 2 reveals his true self.
