= The Next Day =
Rin already arrived at the bandits shack but she didn't knock yet. She wait until the three boys gets out of the shack. When Rin sees the three boys running away from Dadan she walk towards Dadan.
"Hey Dadan! I just saw Luffy running WITH Ace and not running AFTER Ace. I think I won the bet we made three months ago." Rin said with a smile.
Dadan look at Rin and sigh "Fine. What's the three favors you want?"
"For the first favor, I want you to give me a good quality gun." Rin said with serious face.
"I'm not giving a kid A GUN! What do you need a gun for?" Dadan asked.
"... For my second favor I want you to teach me how to shoot." Rin continues.
"Like I said why would you need a gun for?!?" Dadan asked again.
"... For reasons. For the third favor I want you to not tell people that I know how to use a gun."
Dadan look at Rin for a while and then said "Fine but don't blame me if you don't have a knack for it."
Rin smiles and said "Thank you Dadan!!"
Dadan went back inside the shack with Rin. Dadan look for a gun that's suitable for a kid, something not too big, not too heavy and something that doesn't give a big impact to the shooter when they shoot. Dadan picked some guns that she thinks might fit for Rin and bring them to an open field.
"Here try out some of this." Dadan said while handing some guns to Rin. "I'll give you some fake bullets to practice so you won't accidentally killed someone."
"Okay Dadan!!" Rin said as she took a gun to try it out. Rin start shooting at a target Dadan drew on a tree to check out the gun.
*Bang*
"It's hard to hold the handle when shooting for this gun... I'll try another."
*Bang*
"This time It's trigger is too hard to pull."
Rin tried the guns Dadan gives to find the right one for her to use. There are two guns left to try. She tried one of it.
*BANG*
"It's impact is too strong, plus it's very loud..." Rin said. Finally she tried the last gun.
*Bang*
"..." Rin were silent for a while. "This is it!!!" She said smiling from ear to ear. "The grip is comfortable, the handle is just nice, it's impact isn't too strong and it isn't too loud." Rin talks to herself.
Dadan chuckled a little and said "Take it then. It's yours."
Rin look at Dadan and said "Thank you soo much Dadan!!"
"Yeah sure... now I'll teach you how to shoot." Dadan said.
Rin practice shooting for a straight 2 hours until she gets the basics. Rin goes back to the village and to her room.

"I can now use a gun properly and I also got myself a gun but Dadan only gives me fake bullets. It'll still hurt when it hit you but it won't kill. Dadan said she'll give me real bullets once I turn twelve years old so it's not a big problem." Rin talks to herself. Few minutes later she go to sleep from tiredness.
= Few Days Later =
Rin went to Dadan's to practice shooting.
"Rin!! Take a rest already! You've been shooting for an hour!" Dadan yelled.
"Just a little more!!" after few more shooting Rin went inside the shack.
She have been going to the bandits shack for the few days. She goes there to practice shooting or just to hang out but she'll always go back to the village before the three returns.
