Chapter 2: Rain and Luffy

Over time, Dragon and his wife disappeared. Garp was left to take care of both of them. Well, to be precise, it was Makino who took care of Reina and Luffy. Makino was a bartender in Foosha Village. She usually wore a bandana on her head and was a very nice person. By this time, four years had already passed, so both Luffy and Rain were four years old.

"Haha, come on Luffy, you have to try hard to catch me!" - During this time, both Luffy and Raine were playing catch-up. "They played this game a lot and Luffy could never catch Raine no matter what he did.

"Oh Rain, you're too fast, but I still won't give up!" - Luffy was determined to catch Rain, but he was too slow! Luffy's determined expression looked pretty cute, but Raine laughed and quickly looked up from Luffy. After a while, they stopped playing catch-up, and Luffy was in no hurry.

"You will have to work on your speed, you are too slow, ha ha!" Raine laughed and patted Luffy on the back to cheer him up.

"I'll be faster no matter what, just wait and you will see." Luffy smiled and said, "Next time I will definitely catch you, hehe!" Raine nodded but didn't say anything, Luffy always said the same thing but could never catch him, so he didn't bother thinking about it a lot.

Soon Makino opened the window and called out to both of them. " "Lunch is ready, go and get it, guys!" Makino's voice was loud and clear.

Luffy's eyes flashed as he heard her statement. - Meat! " Luffy hurried towards the house, literally leaving a cloud of dust behind.

"Damn it, why doesn't he run so fast in time to catch up, is this guy just fooling around?" Raine was dumbfounded at Luffy's sudden speed when Makino called out to him. Luffy and Raine may be twins, but if you look closely at Rain, you can see that he had a more serious face compared to his brother Luffy.

"There are only three years left, and I will be able to access the system." "For some reason, he must be seven years old to gain access to the system. That was fine with him, since his days here were quite peaceful and there was no rush to get stronger.

After talking to himself for a bit, Raine headed towards the house where Luffy had fled. Upon entering the house, he saw Luffy with a slobbering mouth and star-eyed at the table. "God, this guy is exactly the same as in the anime!" Raine walked over to the table and sat down too.

Makino came in with two bowls of meat. She saw them both eat and knew that these were not ordinary children that could be seen regularly. "Now, guys, eat slowly or you'll both choke." Luffy didn't seem to hear what Makino was saying and just nodded his head. Makino sighed and set the food on the table. Luffy wasted no time devouring the meat as if it were his last meal.

Rain was no different and began to fill his belly too. Makino shook her head and smiled as she walked away, and after a few minutes she brought them some juice. As soon as it came to the last piece of meat, Luffy glared at the last piece and then looked at Rain, Rain did the same and they both suddenly reached for the last piece of meat at a crazy speed!

the same thing, and they both suddenly reached for the last piece of meat at a crazy speed!

-It is mine!" Luffy growled and said.

- Do not even think!" Raine looked at him angrily and replied: Soon the meat was torn in two, and they both ate their torn piece. As soon as they ate their piece of meat, they quickly drank the cold apple juice.

"Ugh, that was amazing!" - Luffy's stomach was swollen like a balloon, Raine was no different, they ate well!

"Yes, Makino, you cook the best in the village, haha!" - Praised Raine, picking his teeth with a toothpick.

"Oh Rain, you speak so well, thank you!" Makino smiled and said:

"So far, Makino is the best at cooking, but there may be others who are better, haha!" Luffy said bluntly, laughing like a stupid little boy. Rain knocked him on the head, telling him to behave, and Makino laughed out loud.

"Okay Rain and Luffy, it's time to sleep, you need to get some rest. You two are growing up as boys who need a lot of sleep at your age. " Makino spoke imperiously and pointed to their room upstairs.

"Ah, we have to go to bed now, but I want to play some more," Luffy complained. Surprisingly, he wasn't tired after so many games and food! Luffy and Raine were still energized to get more things done.

-No, you have to listen to me and go to bed. Tomorrow you can play again as usual, so take some rest. " - Makino did not accept the refusal and pointed them to their room, which they both shared

- Okay, let's go, Rain. Tomorrow we can play catch-up again! I will definitely catch you, just wait! " Luffy patted his chest and said firmly.

Rain looked at Luffy and thought, "If I was carrying a steak on my back, I bet you would have caught me in no time!" - Rain was 20 years old at the time, but he played catch-up with his mature mind. It seemed ridiculous, but he was wearing this childhood makeup that he didn't like for Luffy's sake, and why not enjoy his new life before he becomes an adult in this world. His brother is also the legendary Luffy from the anime "One Piece", so why not?

Luffy and Rain went to their room, chatting enthusiastically with each other. Rain closed the door and Luffy happily ducked into bed. Rain dropped to the ground and immediately began pushing up. Luffy scratched the back of his head while watching Rain do push-ups, he often saw him doing it when there was nothing to do.

- What do you call it and why do you do it? " Luffy couldn't help but ask.

Rain looked up at Luffy. "These are called push-ups, they will help my arms get stronger to beat the bad guys who want to hurt me, my friends and family." Raine explained to motivate Luffy, he knew how Luffy was in the anime and manga.

- Ahhhh! " Luffy gasped deeply when he heard what Rain said. -I want to do it too! " Luffy got out of bed and repeated what Rain did. "Aggh!" Luffy fell face down on his first push up. "It's so hard to do, Rain, you're amazing!" Luffy did not give up and kept trying to do several push-ups. Rain had already finished his 20 push-ups and jumped onto the bed after that. He didn't want to overdo it, after all, he was still a child.

Luffy was lying on the floor after so many failed attempts. "Luffy, what do you want to be when you grow up?" Rain said and continued, "Do you want to be a Marine like Grandpa?" Rain looked at Luffy, who was still on the floor, and suddenly heard his quiet snoring!

-HE FELL ASLEEP!" - Rain was shocked, he was full of energy recently, how can he sleep now !? Rain grinned and got out of bed to put Luffy on the bed.

"I love you Rain," Luffy muttered in his sleep. Rain's eyes widened as he looked at Luffy's face, he felt a tinge of emotion upon hearing what Luffy said in his dream, but what he heard next almost made him slip and fall as he walked away. "Just give me all the meat and I will love you even more!" Black lines appeared on Rain's forehead, but he smiled anyway, jumped onto the bed and fell asleep too.

The next day came and Luffy woke up first. He didn't bother to bother Rain, who was still asleep, and decided to go downstairs for the breakfast Makino prepared for them every day. 20 minutes after Luffy woke up, Raine also woke up.

Rain pondered the question he asked Luffy yesterday, he needed to make a plan for his future in this world. Luffy already had a bright future, but what about himself? "I can first become a bounty hunter, and then perhaps a pirate." "Rain wasn't sure, but being a pirate was better than being a Marine, who were puppets for the world's nobility.

Rain got out of bed and saw that Luffy, as always, was not in his bed. Luffy always woke up before him and ran downstairs for food first.

-Ah you sly, I will not let you eat all the food! " Rain opened the door and rushed down the stairs. After entering this world, his appetite became quite high for his age. Luffy hungrily devoured scrambled eggs and rice and some toast. The main thing he attacked was the sausage. Makino didn't put all the food on the table, or Luffy would have smashed the table to smithereens. She tried to wait for Rain to wake up to give him his share when he left his room.

While eating, Luffy did not notice Rain at all. "I left you food so he doesn't eat your share," Makino said as she placed Rain's share on the table.

"Thank you, Makino." Rain smiled and began his breakfast. Makino said nothing and just smiled. Then she left the house, but not before she said, "You guys, be careful when you play, and I'll go to the bar now," Makino said before leaving the house.

Rain and Luffy continued to eat until they were cleared from the table. "Mmm, it was good as always." Rain said. "Luffy, would you like to go fishing?" We can catch our own food to cook later, it will also help us learn to catch our own food instead of relying on others all the time. " Rain explained slowly so that Luffy could understand better, he was still a child and a little slow.

"Wow, yeah, let's catch some fish!" Luffy agreed immediately, without a second thought. Rain found it amusing how naive Luffy was as a child and adult. Rain made sure to clear all the dishes before leaving the house with Luffy. Before leaving the house, he grabbed a fishing rod hanging on the wall.

Luffy and Rain hurried out of the house and headed towards the ocean. As soon as they arrived, they were greeted by the endless blue sea. "Luffy, go and find some bait to catch the fish. We'll need worms to catch them. " Rain turned to Luffy and said:

- Okay!" - Luffy ran into a small forest nearby to find the worms.

Meanwhile, Rain began talking to himself. "Hmm, I can only see my status page, but I can't access the system, that doesn't mean I can't improve my abilities without the system." Rain could only call up his status page, but couldn't access the system store until he was 7 years old. He noticed one thing on his status page that surprised him at first.

"Status!" Rain said mentally.

Status:

Name: Monkey D. Rain

Age: 4 years

Strength: 4

Dexterity: 3

Will: 1

Stamina: 2

Khaki: [Conqueror's Haki (locked)]

Rokushiki: No

Devil Fruit: No

After playing hide and seek for so long, Rain's agility has since increased by one. The main thing that he was pleased with was his strength, which took some time to rise. He finally got to 4 yesterday after doing a few push-ups every day.

Rain noticed that he already had the Conqueror Haki, but it was locked because he was not strong enough to use it, unless he was under intense stress or distress like Luffy or Donquixote when he was a child. Anyone could use this type of haki, but most never woke him up, this was the main reason he was blocked for Rain. He had no idea how to unlock or print it, Ace gained access to the Conqueror's Haki at a time when Luffy's life was threatened by the Blue Jam.

"Dude, without someone to teach me how to use Haki, it will be harder for me." Luffy was carefully instructed by Raylaigh on how to use Haki. If he made a mistake, he could tell him in detail about his mistake and how to overcome it, Rain has not had that luxury, at least not yet.

"Now I have to learn on my own, so it will take longer than it took Luffy, which was 2 years." - In general, Rain was not worried, he knew what to do, and he had more time to practice before he did what he wanted.

At this time, Luffy came running with a hand full of mud and worms writhing in it. - Look, Rain, I have a lot of worms look, look! - Luffy almost shoved dirt and worms into Rain's face, trying to show him what he caught.

"Damn it, idiot, don't put them on my face!" "Rain hastily backed away."

-Oh, hehe! " Luffy smiled slyly and laughed at Rain's upset face.

- Luffy! Don't be silly, let's catch some fish! " Rain glared at Luffy, but Luffy was not in the least embarrassed and continued to laugh.

"Okay, let's catch her!" Luffy sat down on a rock. Rain attached a worm to a hook and threw it into the ocean. Luffy waited patiently on the rock as time passed quickly, as if an hour had passed.

Luffy waited so long to catch the fish that he couldn't help but complain. "Rain, where the fish is, it's taking too long." Luffy pouted his lips impatiently, he never thought it would take that long to catch a fish.

"Just wait a little longer, patience is the key to victory." Rain doubted what he said. In truth, he himself was beginning to lose patience. Luffy grumbled quietly and began picking his nose with a calm air. "Hey, don't do this, this is a Merc ...." Before he could finish, the line began to tremble.

-Oh damn it! This fish is just huge! Luffy, help me wind it up! " - Rain called quickly, he did not have the strength to keep this fish. Luffy jumped off the cliff to help Rain.

- Pull Stronger !! " Rain roared as veins popped out of Luffy and Rain's heads!

Soon they both saw a large shadow in the water. - IT'S GREAT! "

Luffy's eyes bulged as he saw a large shadow rise to the surface. - The larger it is, the more "Meat" we can get! " Rain tried to emphasize the word "Meat." and of course the plan worked!

- Meat !! " Luffy's strength somehow took off and with their combined strength they managed to pull the fish ashore. The fish was huge, all in blue scales, it had a cocky face with huge bulging eyes. This fish weighed more than both of them put together, he was not sure how many pounds this fish weighed, but it was more than them. It was already shocking that 2 small 4 year olds manage to catch such a huge fish on their own!

"Hehe, let's give this to Makino for dinner later, she can cook something delicious!" Rain's eyes sparkled as he imagined how delicious this fish would be later. Luffy was no different and also nodded, eyes flashing. Both of them, with their little bodies, lifted the fish and carried it home to put some ice on it so that it would not deteriorate.
