= Few Days Later =
On the sea somewhere in East Blue.
"Ugh..."
[What's wrong?]
"I think I got a little seasick from being on a ship for days..." Rin said.
[...Do you want me to help?]
"How? Can you even help me?" Rin asked.
[I can give you immunity against illness.]
"Really!!" Rin said excitedly.
[But it'll cost some points...]
"...Of course... almost nothing is free in the world... how much points does it need?" Rin asked.
[10 CP, but you only have 4 CP...]
"...So, you CAN'T help me..."
[Sorry...]
"It's okay... ugh... I'm gonna go sleep, maybe I'll feel better after a nap. Wake me up when we arrives." Rin use her power to set the course of the ship (kinda like autopilot), after that she went inside her room to rest.
[Understood.]

[Hey, wake up...]
"..."
[Rin, wake up!!!]
"Hm..." Rin opens her eyes, then close it back and went back to sleep.
[The island is nearing already!]
"Hm?!" Rin finally wakes up after hearing what the system said.
Rin quickly stands up and tidy herself before getting out of her room. She turn off her power that controls the ship and hold the helm.
'It'll be weird if the someone sees a ship moving by its own, I better control the ship manually until I reach the island.' Rin thought.
When she arrives at the island, she anchored her ship near a cove. Rin look around to see if she could see a village but couldn't see one.
'System, where's the village?' Rin asked.
[Somewhere at the middle of the island.]
"...sigh... this is probably gonna take a while..." Rin said to herself.

After a long walk...
"How much farther is the village?" Rin asked.
[Just pass the hill.]
"You said that 2 hills ago..."
[I said "Just pass the HILLS" before. Plural not singular.]
"Yeah, right..." Rin sigh from tiredness before she continues walking.
[If you're tired take a rest.]
"Nah, if it's only pass this hill I have enough energy for that." Rin said.
[Suit yourself.]

After a while, Rin arrives at the village when suddenly a certain guy with green hair walk in front of her.
'Zoro?' Rin said in her mind. 'System, what kind of luck is this....' She jokingly asked the system.
[The anime kind?]
'You're not suppose to answer that question... and what does "anime luck" even means.'
[It means-]
Before the system could finish what it wants to say...
"ANIKI!!!" someone shouted.
Rin turns towards the loud voices and see two guys running after Zoro.
'Johnny... and Yosaku? Aniki? That probably means this is after the incident with the bandits...' Rin thought.
"Aniki, you went the wrong way!" said Johnny before gasping for air after running after Zoro.
"Huh? But you told me to go left." Zoro said.
"Yes, but you turned right." Yosaku explained.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier." Zoro said like it's not his fault.
"We did!! But you went ahead and turned right anyway!!" Yosaku and Johnny said frustratedly.
After bickering for a while, they finally realized a girl is standing in front of them.
"Oh! Sorry, were we blocking the way?" Johnny asked.
"Uh. No, I was just wondering around." Rin answered. 'I accidentally stared at them for too long. Seeing them argue on the silliest things was kinda amusing though.' Rin thought.
"You don't look like you're from around here. What are you doing at this village?" Yosaku asked.
"Hmm... well, I was traveling but then things happened and I decided to become a bounty hunter. Right now I'm searching for someone called Pirate Hunter Zoro." Rin said with a smile.
Johnny and Yosaku look at each other. "Pirate Hunter..." Then they look at Zoro. "Zoro..."
"What..." Zoro said in the midst of confusion.
Rin only continues to smile even after seeing their reaction.
