Chapter 17: Ace and Sabo.

Ace and Sabo finally arrived at the place Luffy is captured and starts fighting them. While Ace fight Porchemy, Sabo freed Luffy and told Ace to retreat but Ace refuses. After that Sabo joined Ace and beat them all. After they finished they went to the forest to treat themselves. Rin bought some bandages from the shop system and treated herself in another part of the forest and then went back to the bar. Makino was shocked when she saw Rin have bandage on Rin's shoulder. Rin told Makino, she fell in the mountain and it's just a little scratch so Makino won't worry too much.

= The Next Day =

It's a windy morning, Rin woke up and started making some food as usual. She goes to the Mt. Corvo to visit the bandits shack and take a look at Ace and Sabo.

*knock* *knock*

As she knocked on the door of the bandits shack, a sleepy Dadan opens it.

"!?" Dadan was surprised to see Rin there very early in the morning. "Isn't it too early for you to come?"

"I wanted to come early this time!!" said Rin. She smiled to keep up the kid act.

"It's dangerous to come up the mountain soo early in the morning. You should come at 7am or something. But for now you should come in... it's cold outside." said Dadan as she yawn from sleepiness.

"Okay!!" Rin entered the shack. Most of the bandits are still sleeping.

"Just put the food aside you can go back after it gets warmer outside." said Dadan.

"Where's Luffy?" asked Rin.

"He's probably in the room." said Dadan while pointing at a room.

' So Dadan hasn't seen Sabo yet... '

"Here." Dadan gave Rin a glass of water. "We don't have anything fancy here... you can just leave it if you don't want it."

"Thanks for the water, Dadan." Rin drinks the water.

Rin stays there for a while and listen to Dadan talking.

= Minutes Later =

All the bandits already woke up, they were surprised seeing Rin in their shack but they were more surprised to see that there's another kid in Ace and Luffy's room.

Dadan went to see what's the ruckus in the kids room. Rin followed and stand near the door. When Dadan goes into the room she see there's three boys.

"WOAH!! What's going on here?!" Dadan yelled. She keeps repeating "one, two huh!" and "Ace, Luffy huh!" Finally she screamed "Ace! Luffy! Who is that?!"

"Who is who?" Luffy said sleepily.

"It's still early. You're too loud." Ace went back to sleep.

Sabo sat for a second then goes back to sleep like nothing happened.

When Rin secretly took a look at them, she chuckled a little at their behavior and went to sit at the place she were sitting. Rin could hear Sabo's conversation with Dadan and finally Dadan said "Ace! Luffy! Sabo! I'm giving you a place to stay! You gotta get to work already!"

Sabo laughs a little before saying "Thank you Dadan!"

Before the three boys gets out of the room Rin gets out of the shack and walk back to the village.

' It's not the time to meet them yet... but I'll come tomorrow to ask the favors Dadan promised. ' Rin thought.
