Long Summary
The Straw Hate Pirates enter Yuba after it was hit by a sandstorm. Nobody is here but one man, Toto, digging in the sand. When Vivi ask him about the rebels, the old man reveals to them that, due to the drought Yuba faced for three years, the rebels had move to Katorea, an oasis close to Nanohana, the city they have left before going to Yuba.

When Luffy says Vivi's name, the old man starts to cry, asking the princess if she remembers him. Vivi, in shock, realises who he is and starts to remember their first encounter.

Eleven years ago, a young kid named Kohza asked King Cobra to stop the drought in his village because the villagers were suffering. When Cobra tells him it is out of his power, Kohza's father, Toto appears, ashamed by his son's rudeness and begs the king to forgive them. Kohza, being too proud to beg the king for forgiveness, rushes out of the room. Cobra is moved by the kid caring for his fellow villagers and decides to allow them to live in Alubarna temporarily until they can decide on what to do.

After confronting the king, Kohza, in tears, runs out and encounters young Vivi, who calls him a crybaby. This is the start of a fight between the two kids, which rapidly transformed into friendship. Vivi becomes the sub-leader of the Suna Suna Clan, just under Kohza. But one day, when Vivi is searching for her leader, she bumps into two dangerous men.
