He also realized the importance of real fights. Though he felt little nauseated due to his first kill.

He saw that his Zanpakuto also unsealed by 4%.

After 5 days of journey in the sea, the ship reached Alpanac Island.

There was a small town on this island. He with Garp and few Marines went to town. It was a lot smaller than Loguetown.

They went to a fine looking restaurant and ordered some food. While eating Alden was keeping his keen ears stretched to not miss any information that can be useful.

He didn't get any important information except he found that there is a very good doctor on this island, outside the town, in the forest.

He thought that may be he can get some information about ope ope no mi from this doctor.

So he told Garp that he wanted to roam around the island alone and went around the town to ask about the doctor's whereabouts. Before leaving they decided that they will meet again in the same restaurant in the evening.

After asking few people, he got the location of the Doctor. The doctor's house was at the north side of the town. He walked to the edge of the town on the north and fond a very green forest. He went in and after few minutes of walk, found a small wooden home. He saw an old man sitting on a wooden chair outside the house.

When Alden came close to the house, the old man realized that he had a visitor and looked up to see his new visitor. He was surprised to see a kid of age less than 10 years.

He called him and asked him to sit on a chair in front of him. He looked at Alden with his aged but experienced eyes. He found that Alden was very healthy and thus he was not a patient. Thus he thought that someone related to him may be a patient.

So he asked Alden in : " Who is the patient? "

Before replying he told the doctor: " I am Alden. May I know your respected name? "

Doctor said: " For many years, no one asked me my name. People only know me as Doctor. My name is Bolein. But you can also call me Doctor like everyone else. I don't feel comfortable someone calling me by that name."

Alden nodded replied: " My mother is the patient. She has a bullet in her head. "

Alden explained exact condition about her mother's situation to doctor.

After taking a deep breath, doctor said: " I cannot save her with my ability."

Alden said: " I know. I need someone proficient in space ability to save her. Therefore, I am searching for someone or something related to space ability. " He put a highlighted "something" while saying that.

Doctor, after few moments, said : "So you think that you can find that someone or something through me. "

Alden said: " I don't know. But I have to start from somewhere. I got some information about location a particular item which can be of my help. And that location being on this island. "

Alden, then looked in the eyes of the Doctor and asked, " So can you tell me about the location of that item? "

Doctor looked back a him, but didn't answer.

After few moments, Alden again asked: " Can you tell me about the location of ' Ope Ope no Mi'?"
