After they reached the port, Rain and Nemu packed some supplies and started to sail forward on a medium size boat bought from the shipyard. Since, Silent Mary was quite huge, Rain decided to store it for a while as they had only two people.

"Captain! There are two islands nearby, the nearest one is to the West side called Sorbet Kingdom and the other, on the East side called Torino Kingdom.."

Nemu explained while checking the compass and exploring the map of South Blue.

"Well! Then, let's sail towards the East. I'd like to see that Torino Kingdom." Rain immediately suggested as he remembered that kingdom. It was the island that Chopper was sent by Kuma. The island ruled by the birds over men, also called the "Isle of Treasure".

"Ok Captain! Sailing East, then!"

"Nemu! Come here and train with me...! Maybe it will help you able to use haki."

Like that, Rain and Nemu trained together and their boat slowly sailed towards the East.

The next day, they met a huge pirate ship on their way. The pirate ship also saw Rain and Nemu, and headed towards them.

"Captain! We've got company... It's a pirate ship."

Nemu looked at the approaching pirate ship with binoculars and saw several pirates preparing to attack.

"It seems like they're ready to attack us anytime. Shall I move?" Nemu asked Rain casually. He didn't care about the pirates in front and could destroy them anytime.

"No need to cause that much trouble. Let's just go to their ship and check if there's anything valuable."

They didn't need to go all out just to deal with sone low pirates. So, they slowly headed towards the pirate ship.

"Captain! They're coming towards us!" A pirate shouted to their captain. They didn't expect Rain to come to them instead.

"Ha ha ha! Let them come, maybe we should also sell those two along with these groups." He showed a mocking smile and looked towards a group of captured peoples on the deck.

Rain's boat soon reached the pirate ship and jumped on their deck.

"Well, what have we got here...?" Rain and Nemu landed on the deck.

"Ha ha ha! It's really a fishman! Looks like we've got a good harvest here..." The captain saw Nemu and became overjoyed.

Rain looked around the deck and stopped on the group of captured peoples. He immediately understood that they were smugglers trafficking humans. What Rain hated the most were peoples like them, so he calmed himself down and said coldly releasing his pressure,

"You know what I hate the most are peoples like you. It's your bad luck you met me today. Nemu! Kill them all..."

"Understood Captain!" Nemu immediately flashed and started massacring the pirates. He also hated their dirty acts.

"AGHHH...!! Helpp...!!"

"NO!! Don't...!!"

The pirates cried in terror as they saw their comrades killed one by one waiting for their turn. They instantly regretted coming here, they should have fled instead. Very soon, they all met their end.

The hostages were all terrified seeing the bloody scene and trembled in horror.

After Nemu cleaned the bloods on his body, he joined Rain and started looting the goods. They also released the hostages which all gathered very far away from Rain.

Rain didn't mind them and continued their looting. After sometime, they collected most of the valuables and decided to return back to their boat.

At that moment,

"U~Um... S~Sir! C~Can you take us with you?"

Two girls came forward and asked Rain in a shivering voice. Hearing it, all the peoples on the ship were dumbfounded. Some even started muttering, "Have they lost their mind? They are dangerous people, you know!?"

"Are you guys serious? Why do you want to go with us instead of leaving?" Rain asked them with a puzzled expression. He really couldn't understand what both the girls were thinking.

"P~Please! We beg you! Take us with you...!" The girls directly bowed and continued, "W~We have lost everything and have nowhere to go. B~Besides, you saved us so let us board your ship and help you!"

"Hey...! Then tell me your names and what you're good at? Maybe I'll consider." Rain liked their bravery and decided to give them a chance.

The blond girl came forward and introduced herself, "I~I'm Lacy, I'm a nurse and good at medical treatments."

"And I'm Pascia, I'm a dancer but I can help you in household chores.." The purple haired girl also introduced herself with a little hope.

"Ok! So you two still have some skills. Ok then! Maybe I won't feel bored with two beautiful girls around." Rain agreed to their request, after all their skills were quite useful.

"Eh!? Really? It's that easy...!?" Both girls were dumbfounded with the instant answer. They didn't think that their little skills would be so useful.

"What? You want me to strip you naked and check your whole bodies? Hurry up and come or I'll leave you two!" Rain got annoyed with their expressions. Next time, he decided to be strict while recruiting new members.

"Ahh! Wait! We're sorry, Captain!" The girls suddenly panicked hearing Rain's words and immediately followed behind apologizing.

After Rain helped the girls getting down, the group of four people soon left and continued sailing towards their next destination.

Few days passed, Both Lacy and Pascia had finally integrated to the group. They helped in taking care of the meal and cleaning.

"Captain! Look, there's a huge tree in the front!"

Lacy exclaimed as she pointed forward to a huge tree in the front. There were also several flat platforms like branches on the big tree. They had finally reached their destination, the Torino Kingdom.

As they got closer, they could see huge birds nestling on the platforms. They were the native birds of Torino called 'Masukeredomo Goayu Birds' or 'Bird that cries Goa'.

"What a huge bird! I've never seen anything like this before!" Pascia opened her mouth wide in shock.

"Don't look at them! They are the native birds of this place and those flat platforms are their nest.."

Rain explained towards the others and showed a little smirk thinking,

'Hehe, maybe I should collect some medical books to store in my ship. But, how shall I ask them?'

While Rain was lost in thought, they'd already landed on the island. Rain and the other three slowly entered into the forest but soon met several strange group of people. They were all overweight people dressed only in grass skirts with knotted black hair. They all looked like native old times people.

"Ugh... This kind of strange people still live in this world?"

"They looked quite dumb, look at their fat faces..."

The two girls started expressing their thoughts. Hearing the words, the native people were full of black lines.

"Um... We can hear your words loud and clear miss..." A short and fat, with a black mustache, came forward and said depressingly. He had also a distinctive eye tattoo on his right arm.

"Ahh! We're very sorry! We didn't mean it... It's just~ugh..." They had no words to say, they didn't expect the natives to know their language.

"It's okay, we don't mind and~" Before they could finish, a loud bird cry suddenly sounded and saw a huge bird flying towards them.

"Shit! Why are they suddenly coming here?" Lacy exclaimed looking at the approaching huge bird.

Rain looked around and finally understood what was the cause.

"Pascia you idiot! Didn't I tell you not to wear shiny things when coming here!" Rain shouted, pulled her in his arm and immediately released all of his aura.

The air suddenly become dense and the peoples around felt suffocating. Rain's group also could sense the strong aura even though it didn't affect them. Feeling the pressure, the huge bird directly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"What!? That huge bird fainted just as it got near him?"

The natives exclaimed with wide mouth looking at Rain with amazement. They'd never experienced such situation before.

But it didn't take long for the other birds to notice them and immediately launched an all out attack.

"Heh! So you all want to try me...!?" Rain released his aura and asked in a mocking tone. The birds slightly trembled in fear and instantly backed away. Even though they were huge and strong, they were just a bird and couldn't hold Rain's pressure.

"You guys! Come down here immediately!" Rain ordered the birds which they obediently came down.

Seeing the scene, the native people were dumbfounded again. Their biggest rivals were easily subdued by that tall man!

"Our saviour! He is our saviour!"

"All hail to the saviour!"

The natives of Torino Kingdom all cheered and vowed on Rain hailing him as their saviour.

Seeing them, Rain showed a bright grin and assured them with a mighty tone, "No need to worry! This birds have become my underlings, so they won't trouble you anymore! Isn't it?"

Rain looked back at the birds sharply which immediately made them nod shivering slightly. But their eyes look worried so Rain comforted them calmly, "Don't worry! They won't steal your shiny things.."

The birds instantly became cheerful hearing the words. They didn't care of anything except their shiny things. They liked them the most.

*Giggle!

"It seems like our Captain's really strong!"

"Yeah! He's very cool...!"

Both girls exclaimed looking at Rain with shinning eyes. They were very lucky being able to follow Rain.

After that, under the watch of Rain, the birds and the native peoples finally made a peace treaty. Rain didn't care about this. His plan from the start was to get the books from their library.

So, Rain and his crew decided to stay on the island for a while before continuing on their journey.
