Next, Elfman's painful training arc officially began.
Every day, Rain would wake him up at the crack of dawn and then proceed to "train his Haki."
The key issue? Said "training" was basically just Rain pummeling him repeatedly, shouting that he had to feel the Haki through his body.
If Elfman didn't know any better, he would've thought he'd somehow pissed off Rain in a past life.
Otherwise… why the hell was this man torturing him like this?
Unfortunately, protests were utterly useless. Especially when Mira Jane was standing nearby, smiling gently with that terrifying "nuclear kindness" of hers.
Under her gaze, Elfman could only suffer quietly as Rain's personal punching bag.
BOOM!
"Still not feeling it?" Rain asked after landing another blow.
"Still... still not," Elfman groaned, shaking his head with a tragic expression. "I don't feel any kind of Haki at all…"
Rain frowned, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
"That's weird. I'm sure this should've worked by now…"
He seemed genuinely confused, as if the idea of his methods not working was the real problem here.
Elfman perked up immediately.
"Maybe… maybe your method was wrong from the start?!" he said quickly, grabbing onto the thread of hope like a drowning man. "You should rethink this whole training plan, Brother Rain! Maybe there's a less violent way?!"
Honestly, Elfman had thought there was something off from the beginning.
What kind of psycho trains Haki by just punching someone over and over while yelling, "Do you feel it yet?!"
He didn't feel Haki.
He just felt pain.
"What are you even saying, Elfman?" Rain's expression turned serious. "How could my method be wrong? You know your sister Mira trained the exact same way."
His tone was incredibly confident — as if saying "If it worked on Mira, it'll work on anyone."
"In my opinion… if something's wrong here, it's you. You're just not focusing enough."
"…"
Elfman was utterly speechless.
Before he could say anything else, Rain raised his fist again — and punched him without hesitation.
BOOM!
"Elfman!!" Rain shouted with righteous fervor. "You have to feel the power of my fist with your soul, dammit! Focus your heart!!"
The sheer passion in his voice made it sound like he was the real victim here.
Like some hot-blooded martial arts master whose student just wasn't trying hard enough.
Elfman just lay there twitching in the dirt, tears streaming down his face internally.
Why did it feel like he was in a shounen manga parody arc?
"…Yes, I understand."
Elfman, on the verge of tears, could only grit his teeth and choose to endure. He forced himself to focus, trying desperately to sense the so-called Haki power Rain kept punching into him.
But after three whole days of relentless beatdowns, despite his body being well within the physical standard to awaken Haki…
Elfman had been thoroughly beaten into submission.
And yet… he still didn't feel a damn thing.
In short — this was incredibly embarrassing.
"No results?" Mira asked, glancing over at Rain with a hint of surprise.
"None at all," Rain replied, shaking his head with a sigh that carried both helplessness and disappointment.
"It doesn't make sense," he muttered. "Lisanna awakened Observation Haki already. Sure, she had the Thunder-Thunder Fruit as a shortcut, but even then… why not Elfman?"
Mira's brow furrowed slightly. "That is strange."
"Elfman's body has definitely reached the limit where he should be capable of awakening Armament Haki," Rain continued, deep in thought. "But there's still nothing. So either…"
He paused.
"Either Elfman just isn't suited for it… or…"
"Or what?" Mira tilted her head, confused.
Rain looked up seriously. "Or Elfman lacks a coordinate in the One Piece world."
"Coordinate…?" Mira blinked. "What are you even talking about?"
"What I mean is," Rain explained, "Lisanna was recognized by that world because she ate a Devil Fruit — so she gained a kind of 'anchor' in the One Piece system. That's what let her awaken her Haki."
"You and I… we've both crossed over and experienced that world too. That resonance stays with us."
"But Elfman never went. He hasn't experienced anything from the One Piece world. So he has no connection point — no access to the system."
Rain's tone was calm, but the logic in his words made Mira fall silent.
"…Then doesn't that mean Elfman, and the rest of the guild too… can't awaken Haki at all?" she said slowly, eyes dimming a little with concern.
After all, she knew how incredible Haki was.
And not being able to learn it… that would be a massive loss for anyone who wanted to stand on equal ground with monsters from other worlds.
"No," Rain shook his head. "They're just missing one thing."
"One thing?" Mira asked.
"A seed," he said simply.
"A seed…?" Mira repeated, and then her eyes widened in horror as a thought struck her. "Wait… Rain! You're not planning to feed Devil Fruits to everyone in the guild, are you?! That's insane!"
Rain rolled his eyes. "Do I look like a fruit vendor to you?"
Then, without warning, he flicked Mira's forehead.
Bonk!
"Ow—!"
Mira yelped and immediately covered her head, pouting like a scolded schoolgirl.
Her big eyes shimmered with exaggerated cuteness, lips puffed into a pout as she gave Rain an accusatory glare.
"What the hell—That's way too cute~~"
Rain couldn't help but take a sharp breath when he saw her expression. His breathing quickened unconsciously.
"Heehee~"
Mira looked at Rain and couldn't help showing a trace of pride.
She knew it. This would be his reaction.
Looks like she did still have her charm.
"Rain," she whispered softly, voice sultry, "if you want to… you actually can."
"Mira… those are your words, okay?"
Rain suddenly got fired up, staring at her with blazing seriousness.
There was no turning back from this kind of thing.
"Rain… I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Mira's voice was quiet but firm as she looked at him from up close, her eyes filled with something deeper — something vulnerable and resolute all at once.
She wasn't sure exactly when it started, but at some point, she had fallen for him completely.
And now... she wanted him.
Even if part of her was still a little scared, she loved Rain — and more importantly, she loved herself enough to take the step forward.
Hearing that, Rain stepped forward without hesitation.
He pulled Mira into his arms...and in the next moment, they vanished together.
--
When they reappeared, it was inside Rain's room. The walls were soundproof, the curtains drawn, and the room held only a single bed.
Mira was still pressed against his chest, her breathing light—anticipation and nervous heat mixing in her flushed cheeks.
Rain looked into her eyes. "No regrets?"
Mira bit her lower lip and whispered, "None."
Plop.
Their clothes dropped one after another, hitting the floor with soft thuds.
Rain's hands moved slowly at first—tracing along her bare waist, trailing up her spine, until her soft moan escaped like a sigh.
"Mmmn~ Rain..."
His lips claimed hers. Her fingers clutched his back, nails digging in lightly as their bodies met — skin against skin, heat rising like a wave.
Chu~
Mwah...
Their kisses deepened. Her legs wrapped around his waist almost instinctively.
Rain aligned his cock against her slick entrance, the thick head brushing softly over her folds, already wet and quivering with anticipation.
Mira's legs tightened slightly around his waist as she looked up, eyes dazed and cheeks flushed deep pink. Her voice was barely above a whisper, trembling with emotion and heat.
"Take me, Rain… make me yours completely."
Rain leaned closer, their foreheads touching, and with a low, breathy exhale, he pushed forward.
Shlck—
Her gasp hit the air instantly.
"Ahhn~!"
Her tightness gripped him like a vice, her inner walls trembling as he slowly buried himself deeper—inch by thick inch—stretching her untouched core around his fat shaft.
"…Shit," Rain grunted under his breath, sweat already forming at his temple. "You're… so damn tight."
Mira's head tilted back against the pillow, lips parted, breath shaky.
"Nnngh… I-It's… a lot," she whimpered, her nails digging lightly into his shoulders, thighs trembling on either side of his hips. "But I want it… all of it…"
He bottomed out with a final thump, their hips pressed together.
Mmf—
They both froze for a second, Mira's breath catching as her body adjusted to his size. Her heartbeat pounded against his chest—fast, uneven.
"You okay?" Rain whispered, brushing a kiss against her temple.
She nodded, eyes fluttering. "Y-Yeah… just move slowly at first…"
He did.
Shlp… shlp… shlp…
His hips rolled in a gentle rhythm, each thrust deeper than the last, her walls clenching every time he slid out and pushed back in.
Wet sounds filled the room—schlk, chlp, haaah…—mixed with her moans, growing louder with each thrust.
"Mmmn~ R-Rain… it's… getting better…!"
Her arms wrapped tighter around his neck as her hips began to move in sync with his. She was losing herself in the sensation, her voice dripping with desire.
"You're taking me so well, Mira…" he growled into her ear, his thrusts getting stronger, sharper.
Pak… pak… pak…
The bed creaked in rhythm with his movements, their bodies colliding again and again, sweat-slicked skin slapping against skin.
Her back arched sharply, a loud cry spilling from her lips. "Ahh! R-Rain! You're hitting so deep…!"
"That's because you keep clenching like that," he grunted, grabbing her thighs and thrusting harder.
Pak! Pak! Pak!
Every time his hips met hers, a lewd sound echoed through the room—smack, chlp, smack—and Mira's cries became increasingly breathless.
She clawed at the sheets now, eyes rolled back slightly, voice shaking.
"I-It's too good… I c-can't…!"
Rain leaned down, kissed her deeply, and whispered against her lips, "Then Moan for me."
Her body suddenly tensed beneath him—legs locking tightly around his waist, nails digging hard into his back.
"Ahhh—Rain!!" she cried out, her voice cracking.
Her inner walls clamped down violently, spasming around his cock as her orgasm hit like a wave crashing through her.
Squelch! Shlk!
Wet heat gushed out, coating his shaft in a slick flood as Mira arched her back, hips trembling uncontrollably. Her entire body shuddered, and her mouth opened in a breathless scream.
"I'm c-cumming! Aaahhhn~!!"
Rain groaned, barely holding back.
"Fuck… Mira…"
Her walls clenched so tightly it was almost unbearable—like her body was desperately trying to milk him dry.
And then—he snapped.
With a deep growl, Rain gritted his teeth, his hips slamming into her one last time, fully sheathed.
"Shit—I'm gonna cum…!"
"Inside!!" Mira cried out between gasps. "Do it inside! Please—Rain—I've always been waiting for it!"
That was it.
His cock twitched hard inside her, and with a guttural grunt, he exploded deep within her—hot spurts of thick cum flooding her womb in heavy pulses.
Throb… throb… throb…
Their bodies shook together, Mira moaning softly through the aftershocks, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck as he emptied himself inside her.
So warm.
So full.
She whimpered into his ear, completely spent. "Mmmn… I wanted this… so badly…"
Rain stayed buried inside her, panting, forehead pressed against hers.
"…I Love You, Mira," he murmured.
Mira smiled weakly, eyes glazed with satisfaction. "I love you too, Rain…"
--
When the two appeared again, it was already dinner time.
"Eh? Brother Rain? Sister Mira? You two were home?"
Lisanna blinked in surprise, her voice lifting as she stirred the pot in the kitchen.
She had been cooking peacefully, humming to herself, thinking the house was empty… only for Rain and Mira to casually stroll out of the room together.
But then...
"Wait a moment!"
Her eyes widened.
Something was off.
Very off.
Her gaze shifted to Mira — hair slightly messy, cheeks still tinged with pink, walking a little slower than usual.
And her clothes… they were changed, but her walk said otherwise.
Lisanna's stirring stopped mid-motion.
Her eyes narrowed like a detective piecing it all together.
