"Listen, I was planning on going to the first part of the Grand Line (Paradise) to search for some people (Ace and Shanks). I won't be going to the second part of the Grand Line cause it's too risky so if I can't find them that's that." Rin said. "But since you're here I can't just leave you alone..." She continued. "Cause your pathetic." She quietly mumbles.
"I heard that." Akiko said.
Rin ignored Akiko and said "Anyway, if you want to survive in this world you need to at least fulfill the minimum standard." Rin explained. "And so, we shall use this 2 years to train you to at least be able to defeat a standard big time pirate one on one." She continued.
"So... How do I train?" Akiko asked.
"Hmm..." Rin's thinking of a way. 'We're twins but our ability is different...' Rin thought. "Is there any type of devil fruit you might want?" Rin asked.
"Um... I don't know..." Akiko said.
"So, none at the moment..." Rin said. 'Knowing Akiko, guns or swords won't suits her... fighting using her fist doesn't suits her either...' Rin thought. "For now... let's just focus on strengthening your physicals. We'll figure out your fighting style later." Rin said.
"Sigh... okay..." Akiko said.
"Oh!" Rin said. "Can we somehow share our systems?" Rin asked the system.
[Let me see...]
"So?" Rin asked.
[It seems you can connect the systems. However it needs the agreement between the two users.]
"That's not a problem, but what will it do if we connect our systems?" Rin asked.
[The system needs to cultivate through experience, so usually it would take years before the system could have a personality, like me. Anyway, if you connect the systems both the users will get benefits from each other. For example, rewards from quest will increase, your abilities is shared including status, the systems become a better companion for the users and other stuff.]
"Akiko, I'll connect our systems, okay?" Rin asked.
"Sure." Akiko answered.
"There you have it. Connect our systems." Rin commanded.
[Alright. Loading...]
[Loading...]
"It's loading longer than usual..." Rin said. "Akiko, I'll bring to the treeho-" Rin stopped talking when she sees Akiko entering the forest. "Just where do you think you're going?!" Rin yelled annoyed by Akiko's behavior.
"I wanted to go exploring, since there's no wild animals it should be fine, right?" Akiko asked.
"Of course not!! There's lots of poisonous plants all around the isla- Listen when I'm talking!!" Rin screamed when Akiko ignored her and enter the forest. She chased after Akiko and stops her.
"I'll be fine~" Akiko said.
"No you won't! I still remember you having the worst luck when it comes to keeping yourself safe!" Rin said.
"... My luck isn't THAT bad." Akiko said.
"Really?" Rin asked. "Then what about, when you open the fridge and an opened can of pasta sauce fell on your foot and it starts bleeding?" Rin asked.
Akiko flinched when she heard that.
"Or how about, when you step on a bee that is on the doormat even though when everyone else walks there they didn't get sting?" Rin asked.
"Um..." Akiko said nervously.
"Or how about-" Rin got cut off.
"Okay! Fine! I understand already!!" Akiko said.
Rin smiled and said "That's good, then let's go to the treehouse." She brings Akiko to the treehouse.
"This is the place you're staying in right now?" Akiko asked.
"Hm? Ah, right..." Rin said. 'Akiko didn't know that I made this treehouse similar to the one the three brothers made because I kinda miss them.' Rin thought.
"This treehouse looks kind of weird..." Akiko said.
"Well... I kinda made it look like a treehouse I saw in a anime... kids made it so it's understandable..." Rin said.
"Okay, then." Akiko said. "It looks sturdy at least." She continued.
"Let's just gets inside..." Rin said.
[Done!]
"Oh. The system's done." Rin said.
They went inside and Rin starts explaining the best training routine she could think of for Akiko.
"It seems, the system connect improve your status. That'll be an advantage. But..." Rin said.
Name: Akiko
Age: 17
Strength: 41
Stamina: 63
Abilities: None.
Combat Skills: Bo Staff (level 1).
Special Abilities: Forest Forest Fruit (3%).
[ status will be updated from time to time ]
"What does "Forest Forest Fruit 3%" means?" Rin asked the system.
[It means, Akiko can use 3% of the fruit's ability. The maximum is 50% but in the end it depends on the user. Akiko might only be able to use 3% even after years.]
"I see..." Rin said. "It seems you can use a part of my devil fruit. Wait! Does it effect my ability?" Rin asked the system.
[No, it won't.]
"That's a relief..." Rin said.
"Anyway, are you just going to stay here for two years?" Akiko asked.
"Of course not. I'll do bounty hunting every now and then." Rin answered. "But I need to be careful not to mess with the one Luffy will fight like Buggy, Alvida, Kuro, Krieg, etc." Rin explained.
"Is bounty hunting's the only thing you'll do?" Akiko asked.
"Nope!" Rin answered. "I'll explore here and there..." Rin said.
"What do you mean?" Akiko asked.
"Well, you'll know... in two years maybe." Rin said while grinning.
Akiko sighed and said "Suit yourself..."
They continues discussing on Akiko's training.
