The Secret

Dr. Kureha and the others were shocked to see a person kneeling on the edge of the cliff; they could see it clearly in broad daylight.

It's not made from illusion, mirage or hallucination, it's real because they can see that the person kneeling slowly looks at them with a surprised expression.

"Chopper? Dr. Kureha?" Dr. Hiriluk confeud said.

Hiriluk wore mottled pink pants and a black coat over a green shirt. Over his bizarre white hair resembling a cross, he wore a black hat that matched his coat. He had long gray hair arranged in three standing outs, one to each side and one at the top, the latter of which is covered by his hat. He also had a black goatee and mustache.

He opens his arms trying to catch Chopper but Chopper only pierce his body making the mall petrified in shock.

Xin waves his hand pulling Chopper from, falling off the cliff.

"He is in ethereal form, of course, you can't touch him and he can't touch you, you need to have high Spiritual Energy to touch a ghost being," Xin said.

"So he is a ghost?"

"Yep."

"... A GHOST!!!" 3x

"Too late!"

Xin then left Chopper to talk to his father while taking the other to walk around giving time to them to talk.

"Are you going back after this?" Nami asks.

"Yes, I want to see others after this," Xin said.

"Everyone will surely be happy after they see you. After all, your heartlessness left us all on one island while letting others work for the organization you just built."

"Yeah..... I still need to repay all the things they did."

Nami looks at Xin, it seems that Xin is going to get bussy after he arrives at Guild Island, the only time right now is the time she can solo him..

"By the way what kind of Request did you get that you actually need to go out alone? Also, does Nojiko know it?."

Nami awkwardly looks away while whistling shyly, Xin can easily see that she is hiding something.

"It seem you're waiting for a beating after you go back, Nojiko and Bell-mère will surely beat you up for being stupid."

"I-Im not stupid….. I just want to take that quest."

"So what quest do you get?"

"A simple request to make a reservation in a certain country."

Xin helplessly looked at her and asked," Let me think, is that the Alabasta Kingdom you're talking about?"

"H-How did you know!!"

"Secret."

"Cheapskate "

"Hahaha, I don't care, but do you have enough energy to cover the whole Alabasta Kingdom with rain? I don't know how big that kingdom is but I know that it's not easy to even wet the whole country."

"I think i can do it, i study meticulously about the technique that you teach us, and can even create thunder, storm, and hail easily."

"Did you try to test how wide the range of your ability is?"

"Of course, I can easily cover the whole Guild Island changing to different weather easily. Koala and others even asked me to make the whole island a show country last summer."

Xin grabs her hand and feels the amount of Chakra she has while Nami flustered seeing Xin's action.

"Hey, pervert let go of Namichan!!" Sanji, who is hiding behind the tree, suddenly jumps out from anger. He doesn't want the girls to get alone with this perverted kid, he wants to prevent something bad happening to them.

"Stop Sanji! Xin just wants to check my condition."

"No dont believe this kid! He has a perverted motive for holding your hand!"

"Your the pervert one, I heard that you tried to peek at a girl last time but were caught by Oregano chan on back."

Sanji is embarrassed to scratch his head while looking away, that blunder is pretty embarrassing that he actually gets caught by the guild and gets beaten by Zerf.

"The amount of Chakra is pretty good, you are on Chūnin Level already, but you seem to have forgotten to fortify your body these years, your strength is only at beginner level."

"W-Well.... Sitting while meditating is pretty boring….. And I'm a girl so I don't need too much strength….. Right?"

"Your wrong, you need enough strength if you want to do a quest alone, and also, I feel that something is not right about your quest."

"R-Really?" Nami starts to sweat right now, she feels that Xin discovered the thing she did.

Xin looked at her and asked," Did you perhaps..... Stolen the quest?"

"How did you know.," Sanji suddenly asked.

"You idiot!" Nami cast Wind Technique blowing Sanji away from them but it's too late, Xin already heard the answer from him.

"It seems that I'm right, you stole the quest from the guild."

"I-I did not steal it..... It picks it that's right, I pick it on the floor!"

"Really?"

Nami hurriedly nodded.

"You're lying, your nose is getting longer."

Nami hurriedly grabbed her nose to check but it was not getting longer at all.

"So you lie?"

She finally nodded, she knew that she can't hide it forever, the guild will eventually notice it and for sure they will discover that she stole it.

"You better get ready, I'm pretty sure Mikako will punish you using some verbal words but I don't know what Bell-mère will do to you later."

Nami looked at him with teary eyes and sobbing said," Xin….. can you help me….."

"Nami-swan~ I will definitely help you," Sanji's voice rang from the top of the castle, making Nami irritated again.

"SHUT UP!!"
