Chapter 41: Who? 2

"A... Akiko?!?!" Rin screamed.

"Mori... na...?" said the mysterious person.

"Akiko... you're Akiko... right?" Rin asked.

"Y-yeah." the mysterious person / Akiko said.

"What are you doing here?!" Rin asked.

"I don't know... but that doesn't matter. What are YOU doing here, Morina?!" Akiko asked.

"DON'T call me Morina. My name right now is "Rin"." Rin explained.

"... I think you're a little obsessed with Blue Exorcist's Mc." Akiko said.

"Okumura Rin IS kinda cute, ok." Rin said. "Plus, it's a name that goes both ways and, since my real name is Mo"rin"a it's technically still my name." Rin explained.

"Yeah, sure." Akiko said while rolling her eyes.

[Um... I didn't mean to intrude this conversation but Rin, who is this? She seems to be another person transferred from your world.]

"She's my little sister." Rin explained.

[Your little... sister...]

"No I'm not... I'm only younger by 5 minutes. We're twins." Akiko explained.

"You're still younger- wait! You can hear the system?" Rin asked.

"If you mean that robot-ish voice, then yeah." Akiko answered.

"Akiko, do you have your own system?" Rin asked.

Akiko shrugged without a care. "Where are we anyway?" Akiko asked.

Rin stare in disbelief and sighed. "We're in "One Piece"." Rin answered.

"Oh, I see." Akiko said. "Wait, WHAT!!!" Akiko yelled. "What do you mean we're in One Piece?!" Akiko asked nervously.

"It means exactly what I said." Rin said.

"You're saying we're in One Piece?! That One Piece anime where that idiotic, stupid, very reckless and also hilarious at times Luffy is in?!" Akiko asked.

"Yeah." Rin answered.

When hearing Rin's answer, Akiko froze for a second before asking "By any chance, do you know where Luffy is?"

"Luffy's at his hometown. He's probably punching rocks, trees, wild animals or whatsoever he could find to work on his aim." Rin answered.

"Really? Wait! How would you know that?" Akiko asked.

"Well if you actually watched One Piece till the end you would've known about it. Now that I think about it, did you finished watching One Piece?" Rin asked.

"... Um... N...O...?" Akiko hesitantly answered.

Rin sighed. "How far have you watched One Piece?" Rin asked.

"I think it's a little after Nami got sick..." Akiko answered.

'Somewhere on Drum Island Ark, I guess?' Rin thought.

"So, you haven't watched the episodes when the crew landed on Alabasta?" Rin asked.

Akiko shakes her head.

'So, she doesn't know Ace...' Rin thought.

Again, Rin sighed. "Do you want to know what will happen from or do you just want to see for yourself?" Rin asked.

"How can I see by myself?" Akiko asked.

"By using the system. It has a rewatch function." Rin said.

'If the system doesn't have a rewatch function, I would probably forgot what happened in the anime...' Rin thought.

"Since I got a system, I think you also have one. Try saying, "System" with the intent to call it." Rin explained.

"Just say "system" ?" Akiko asked.

"Yeah." Rin answered.

"System?" Akiko said. "Nothing happened." Akiko said.

"Hmm..." Rin think about it for a while. "Try to look around for a floating transparent screen." Rin said.

Akiko look around and sees an almost transparent screen near her. "Is this it?" Akiko asked.

Rin look at where Akiko is pointing but couldn't see a thing.

'Is the system can only be seen by the user?' Rin thought.

"Can you see my system?" Rin asked while pointing to her system.

Akiko squint her eyes to the direction that Rin is pointing. "There's nothing there..." Akiko said.

"So, you can't see it... that means I can't see yours either... Is there anything written on the floating screen?" Rin asked.

"It said "Your wish is granted. Now you found out what's missing from your memory and you can finally run away from your life and start a new one!"..." Akiko said.

"Missing from your memory? What does that mean?" Rin asked.

"You see... when you disappeared... everything that used to be your possession disappeared along with you... and everyone... including me... forgotten about you... I had a feeling something is missing... someone is missing... someone who likes watching anime, and just like me hate her family." Akiko explained.

"...So, nobody in our previous world remember us... That's better!!" Rin said happily.

Akiko stared quietly at Rin and chuckled. "I should've known better than anyone, that you'll say that." Akiko said.

"Well, it's just as you said I HATE our family!" Rin said. "For now, try saying "Status" to the system." Rin said.

"Okay. Status." Akiko said to the system.

<Status>

Name: ???

Age: ???

Strength: 23

Stamina: 32

Abilities: None.

Combat Skills: None.

Special Abilities: None.

[ status will be updated from time to time ]

Akiko explained what the system showed.

"Wait, you don't have "charisma" in your status?" Rin asked.

"Nope." Akiko answered.

"I guess it's a little different from mine." Rin said. "Anyway, put your name and put 17 as your age. Don't you dare put something else for your age!" Rin said in a serious tone.

"Alright. Alright." Akiko said while putting her name and age. "Should I put Takahashi Akiko or just Akiko?" Akiko asked.

"Just put Akiko, or you can just put Aki if you want to. You hate our family too, right? In this world we can live as ourselves." Rin said.

"Yeah, I hate them too." Akiko said.

"What's your original age by the way?" Rin asked.

"18, why?" Akiko asked.

"18!! But I disappeared when I was 18?!?!" Rin said.

"Yeah. You disappeared months ago." Akiko said.

"No, I disappeared years ago... I guess you're thrown into this world at this time is because our wishes is kinda similar..." Rin said.

"What's your wish?" Akiko asked.

"At first my wish is to be in One Piece and save a certain someone, no spoilers so don't ask me who." Rin said. "But after leaving Luffy for few weeks, I felt a bit lonely but just like in my last world, I couldn't bring myself to trust anyone..." She continued. "So, the person I trust most in our last world, unfortunately is you..." Rin explained.

*Gasp* Akiko pretended to be shock.

"I thought you hate me." Akiko said dramatically.

"Yeah, I hate you." Rin said with a straight.

Akiko flinched. 'This is normal...' Akiko thought.

"Anyway, where are we? I know we're in One Piece but WHERE are we?" Akiko asked.

"On an uninhabited island. There's no animals or humans, except for us on this island." Rin said.

"Then what are you doing here?" Akiko asked.

"I was going to train but since you're here I need to re-thinks everything..." Rin said.

"Why?" Akiko asked.

"Because you're an idiot that won't survive in this kind of situation." Rin said with a serious face.

"..." Akiko kept quiet because she knows Rin is right. "You're cruel..." Akiko said.

"Yeah, I know. Anyway, I don't really want to tell you any spoilers so I think I'll bring you with me to join Luffy's crew. That way you can see for yourself how the story goes." Rin said.

"Can't you just tell me what will happen?" Akiko asked.

"Nope." Rin said while grinning.

Rin starts explaining her plan on what to do in the 2 years before they meet Luffy. Rin will also tries to train Akiko so she'll be able to protect herself.
