55 The start of Grand Line.
Rin continues her walk around the town.
'What's happening...?' Rin thought as she sees people running in front of her.
Out of curiosity, she decided to ask the running townspeople about it.
Rin stop a young man from running and asked "Excuse me. What is everyone running away from?"
"P-pirates have taken over the execution platform!! Y-you should run too, miss!" The young man warned Rin before running away.
'Ah... It must be Luffy and Buggy...' Rin thought. 'It looks like I somehow found my way here... It's chaotic here...' Rin sighed. 'Guess I'll go back to the ship after all...' Rin thought since she lost interest on the town.
She turned around and walk back to the ship.

When Rin arrived at the ship she saw Nami and Usopp getting on the ship.
"Nami and Usopp is already here, we just need to wait for Luffy, Zoro and Sanji." Rin muttered as she gets on the ship.
•
•
•
The waves are getting stronger and the storm is becoming worse.
As soon as Luffy, Zoro and Sanji finally make it back to the ship, they starts sailing in the direction of the Reverse Mountain.
•

The storm calmed down as they leave Loguetown.
"Okay then, shall we hold a launching ceremony for setting sail on the great ocean?" Sanji asked while bringing a barrel out.
"Yeah!" Luffy answered.
"Let's do it!" Nami said.
Sanji puts a foot on top of the barrel and said "In order to find the All Blue."
Luffy also put a foot on it and said "To become the King of the Pirates."
Zoro followed and said "To become the greatest swordsman."
"To draw a map of the world." Nami said.
"... T-to become a brave warrior of the sea!" Usopp stuttered.
Then everyone look at Rin.
"...What?" Rin confused.
"It's your turn." Nami said.
'... Oh! They want me to do it too. But...' Rin thought.
"I don't really have a dream..." Rin said.
"There must be something you want to do since you want to follow Luffy to the Grand Line." Zoro said.
'I kinda decided to follow them only to find out the ending... If I have to choose a dream now, then I'll choose...' Rin thought before putting her foot on top of the barrel.
"To see Luffy's- no... To see "all" of your dreams come true." Rin said with a bright smile.
Everyone felt a bit surprised when they heard Rin's words. They look at each other before looking back at Rin.
'It sounds a bit cringey but oh, well... It's my true wish.' Rin thought.
"Then... we better make our dreams come true or else Rin's dream won't." Luffy said.
"It would be my pleasure to fulfill a lady's dream." Sanji said.
"What a weird dream..." Usopp said.
"Let's go... to the Grand Line!" Luffy said excitedly before everyone breaks the barrel with their foot.
The ship continue to proceed towards the Reverse Mountain.

"Look at this!" Nami said as she put down a map. "I'd heard the rumors about it, and it's drawn on this map, too. If it's really true then, the entrance to the Grand Line is a mountain!"
"A mountain?" Luffy asked.
"We're gonna crash into the mountain? You can't be serious." Zoro said.
"I didn't believe it myself- Is she okay?" Nami asked when she sees Rin looking unwell.
"Huh..? Y-yeah I'm fine." Rin said.
'The pill for seasickness is wearing off... I should take a new one soon...' Rin thought.
"If you say so." Nami said as she continues explaining about the entrance to Grand Line.

•
With Nami's navigation skill and everyone's help the Going Merry safely make it into the Grand Line where Laboon swallowed the ship because of Luffy's stupidity.
•
•
•
Rin kept quiet the whole time while everything went the way it should be. When they finally got out of the whale, Crocus starts talking with Luffy and the others.
Suddenly, Luffy attacks Laboon with the ship's mast and make promise to come back to continue their fight. Rin fix the mast while Luffy drew a picture on Laboon's head as a sign of the promise. Ms, Wednesday and Mr, 9 beg to the crew to send them to their home, Whisky Peak, because they don't have a ship. Luffy accepted their request and set off after receiving a log pose from Crocus.
•
•
•
After various problems with the weather of the Grand Line, they finally arrived at Whisky Peak.
Ms. Wednesday and Mr. Nine quickly left the ship as soon as the island came into view.
When the crew got closer to the island, an unexpectedly warm welcome were given despite them being pirates.
"Pirates! Welcome!"
"Welcome to Grand Line!"
"Welcome to our town!" cheers the townspeople.
They were greeted by a man named Igarappoi. He invited everyone in the crew to a party.
•
•
•
It's nighttime but the party is still going.
Nami and Zoro is participating in some kind of drinking contest.
"Aren't you gonna drink?" a young guy asked Rin.
"No, I won't. I feel a bit sleepy though." Rin said before leaving the young guy to sit near Nami.
She look around before thinking, 'I still feel a bit dizzy from sailing, I'll just close my eyes... I need to pretend to sleep anyway...' Rin yawned before closing her eyes.
•
•
•
Everything continue as it supposed to be and Mr. 8 / Igaram request to take Miss Wednesday / Princess Vivi to their home, Alabasta.
They set sail with Vivi onboard when suddenly Miss All Sunday / Nico Robin appears on the ship to "assist" Vivi by giving them an eternal pose to her.
Luffy breaks the eternal pose saying he choose what course they took.
Miss All Sunday tells Luffy how she'd like to meet him again if they survive and leave the ship on a giant turtle.
The crew continue their journey towards Little Garden.
