Chapter 11: There you are, Luffy!!!

=The Next Morning=

It's still dark out but Rin left a letter saying she will come back at night for Makino on top of the counter and head to Mt. Corvo. When she arrives at the foot of the mountain she check the surrounding and sneak quietly into the mountain. She doesn't want to attract any dangerous animals. She search for a valley that have a bridge and can be use to go to Gray Terminal.

=An Hour And Half Later=

'ARGH!!! WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU LUFFY!!!' Rin screamed in her mind. She's been searching for more than an hour and still can't find a valley with a bridge. She doesn't want to stay in the mountain for too long because of the dangerous animals that inhabit the mountain.

"AHH!!"

The scream alert Rin. "That sounds like Luffy!!" Hearing what she thinks are Luffy's scream, she headed straight towards the scream. Upon reaching the cause of the scream, she sees Luffy on top of a tree with his right shoulder bleeding from being scratch by a wolf.

"Luffy!" she look at the wolves and thought up of an idea. "If I remember correctly wolves scared of fire." she whispered to herself.

She opened the shop system and bought a box of matches, some ointments for injuries and some bandages. She find a suitable size branch and wrap it with a bandage. Then she lit up the match and burn the bandage on the branch. When she's done making a torch she goes to the wolves and scares them away.

"RIN!!" Luffy screamed.

Once all of the wolves runs away, Rin told Luffy to come down so she can treat the wound on his shoulder. When Luffy comes down Rin immediately clean the wound and apply ointment on the wound, after applying the ointment she bandage the wound the best she could. She never treated anyone before so she doesn't exactly know how to bandage wounds.

"... Thank you Rin..." Luffy said. There's a bit of sadness in his voice.

Hearing Luffy's voice she ask "Why are you here?" even though she knew the answer she still asked.

Luffy then told Rin about his grandpa bringing him here to live with mountain bandits and how he wanted to follow Ace to befriend him.

"... *sigh* Seriously..." even if she knows about this she can't help but feel a little mad at Ace. "Luffy how many days has it been since you are thrown into the valley?" Rin asked.

"Umm... I think it's the fourth day. Why'd you ask?" Luffy said.

' That means three more days before he should go back...' Rin thought. "Let's go to Makino's bar!! I'm sure your grandpa wouldn't come back for awhile." Rin said.

"But I don't know how to go back to the village." Luffy said.

"I do! So let's go to the village, I'll bring you back to the bandits house after three days! That way your grandpa wouldn't know anything!!" Rin said happily.

"O-Okay then!!" Luffy answered with a smile.

After Luffy agree with Rin they went to the village and goes to Makino's bar. Makino was shock to see Luffy with an injury on his shoulder coming to the bar with Rin but happily make us some meals to eat after Rin explains that she hears Luffy screams, Luffy getting chased by wolves and how she saved Luffy and treat his wound.
