*sigh* ' It's been two weeks and I've only able to increased my strength by two points... well at least I'm able to learn the basics of Herbology.' Rin thought to herself.
"I only have few more days before I need to go back to the village. I've collected lots of herbs to sell and learn the basics of Herbology, now I only need to strengthen myself." Rin said to herself.
After that she continues training herself.

It's the last day of training.

"The result for my one month training is, my strength increased by 4 points, my stamina increased by 6 points and I learned the basics of Herbology. I also collected lots of good quality herbs to sells. " Rin said to herself.
Rin pack up her clothes. After she finished packing up her clothes, she pack the tent and put it in its bag. She finishes what she needs to do and started walking back to the village.
She leaves a little before afternoon, so when she arrives at the village it's already evening. After arriving she went straight to Makino's bar. When she came to the bar she greets Makino with a smile.
Upon seeing Rin, Makino gave Rin a hug and a meal.
"Thank you for the meal!!" Rin said to Makino.
"Your welcome." Makino answer with a smile. "I'm glad your back." Makino said before sighing.
Hearing Makino sigh Rin ask "What's wrong... you look kinda sad."
"..." Makino was quiet for a while but then she answers "Luffy's grandfather came and send Luffy away because Luffy said he wanted to become a pirate..."
When Rin heard Makino's words she figured out that it was when Luffy was bring to Dadan's house at Mt. Corvo.
"Where did he get sent away??" Rin asked pretending not to know.
"Luffy's grandfather doesn't allow me to tell anyone about it." Makino answered.
"Who's Luffy's grandfather?" said Rin while still putting on an act.
"His name is Monkey D Garp. He's a marine, that's why he does like it when Luffy said he wanted to becomes a pirate." Makino answered while sighing.
"I see...when did Luffy get sent away and will you go see Luffy anytime soon?" Rin asked.
"Few days ago and no I won't." Makino answered.
'Few days ago... that means Luffy is... AT THE BOTTOM OF THE VALLEY BEING CHASED BY WOLVES!!! Damn it Ace you just have to throw him there!!' Rin immediately remembered.
' He'll only go back to Dadan's place after a week running away from wolves... should I go tommorow to find Luffy and help him... but there's that big tiger and if I remembered correctly there's also a big bear... um...' Rin thinks for a moment. 'Ah!!' She thought of an idea. ' I never check all of the system function, I'll check later to see if I can find anything to assist me in finding and helping Luffy.'
After eating Makino told Rin she could stay as long as she wants. Rin thanked Makino for her offer.
=At Night=
In the storage room where Rin sleeps.
"System show me all the functions available." Rin commanded.
There's not much functions that is useable in the moment. 'Hmm...' "System can I sell the herbs I collected at the shop system?" Rin asked.
[Yes, you can sell the herbs you collected at the shop but first you must put them in your inventory.]
"Inventory? I have an inventory? I'm such an idiot!! Why didn't I find that sooner!?!... Then open my inventory." Rin commanded.
She put all the herbs she have in the inventory and sells them. After selling them she got about 2 000 berries. She opens the shop system bought a simple foldable bo staff for a little lest than 5 000 berries and a bo staff guide book. Rin now have only a little over 14 000 berries.
'Hmm... selling herbs will only give me a small earning... well for now it will do.' Rin thought.
' Alright! I'll look for Luffy early In the morning!!' she said in her mind while glancing through the guide book.
