A Soul on the Cliff

Swish~

Another knife thrown by the old lady, Xin casually deflected it and slowly put down Chopper on the ground.

"Dam,n you!! If you want to know my secret to eternal youth I can easily tell you! You don't need to catch my pet to force me to tell you!!" The old lady shouted.

"You are?" Nami asks.

"Im Dr. Kureha, I'm the one who's holding the recipe for eternal youth." Dr. Kureha proudly said.

Despite her exceptionally advanced age and apart from her well-wrinkled face, Kureha is a slender woman in her prime. Dr. Kureha dresses in a style more suited to women one-seventh her age.

This includes a navel ring, a shirt that bares her midriff, a purple blazer and purple low-riding pants. She has a pair of small sunglasses that, when they're not over her eyes, she wears on her forehead even when she's using glasses. She wears bracelets and rings on her left hand.

"Sorry, I did that to scare Chopper, I just want to ask him." Xin politely said.

Dr. Kureha was slightly taken back seeing Xin's appearance, but because of her long years of experience, Xin's unique charm only had little effect on her.

But still, his charm made Dr. Kureha's anger subsided at least.

"So what do you want to ask my pet?" Dr. Kureha chugs a rum and asks.

"I want to ask him if he wants to go outside to see the bigger world. I feel that staying here will only stop his improvement and knowledge."

Dr. Kureha looks at Xin and asks," You mean my knowledge is no longer enough for this Reindeer?"

Xin looked at her and nodded, it's rude to say that but that's the truth, no one can stay in the same place to continually improve, one needs to go out to search for what he is trying to find.

"NO! I'm not going to follow you!! I'm staying here!" Chopper angrily said.

"Let's go in first, it's cold here." Dr. Kureha said.

"Sorry for the inconvenience."

"It's fine."

Xin and others follow Dr. Kureha, while Chopper finally free from Sin's grasp, hurriedly escapes after sensing that he can finally move but Xin lets him, time can only tell whatever will follow him if he leaves for this island.

...

Inside of the castle. Dr. Kureha takes them to a pretty large room, he serves them tea but only Xin not everyone.

"Now tell me, where are you from, even though I'm already old, I can still feel something not normal from you, even Roger doesn't have that kind of Aura." Dr. Kureha asked.

"Roger? You mean the Pirate King?"

"Yes."

"You know Gold D Roger?"

"How old are you, Old Lady?"

Bang!

"Ahhh~!"

Sanji who ask last get a fast kick from her and then she calmly sit down again," I'm just 139 years old, don't call me old lady, call me young miss"

"139 years old is still young?" Nami asks.

"Then that means gramps is still a kid?" Luffy said.

"Well…. 139 is still young," Xin said, based on the Soul Worlds Age. 139 Years old is still young, she is the same age as Rukia and Rengi, younger than Rangiku, slightly older from Toshiro.

"Your smart kid, I like that," Dr. Kureha commented.

"Thank you."

"If you really want to take Chopper with you, he is the only person who will choose his own choice, I can't force him even though he's my disciple so better try to find a good reason to convince him to follow you."

Xin looked outside and silently thought,' Can Soul Call be used now?'

System,' Yes you can, Soul from this world is starting to appear again after the Soul Society starts to integrate into this world, calling a soul is pretty easy if you want.'

He then looks at the door, seeing Chopper hiding his head while showing his body, a pretty unique hiding technique.

"Do you want to see him again?"

"You can see me?"

"It's pretty obvious!" X3

"Do you want to see him?"

"Who?"

"Your father."

"Father?..." Chopper's face suddenly turns bad." I don't have a father!!"

"Dr. Hiriluk…. Do you want to see him again?"

Dr. Kureha and Choppe's faces suddenly change, they don't know how this kid knows Dr. Hiriluk without anyone telling him at all.

"Don't worry, I know everything, even the deepest part of each of you, so do you want to see him again?" Xin asks again.

"B-B-But….. Dr. Hiriluk died already…" Chopper sadly said.

"I know, what I want you to see is the opportunity, an opportunity for a better future and more rich knowledge waiting for you."

"Reviving the dead is impossible based on scientific research."

"You're right, but 3 days ago, this became possible for anyone who knows how to do it, and besides there's a Immortal in this world after eating Devil Fruit."

"Devil fruit can give you immortality?"

"No, but that special devil fruit can prevent your soul from disappearing, making the user immortal," Xin said.

"Well, follow me. I will show you how to see someone who has already passed away." Xin then brings them to the nearby cliff where Dr. Hiriluk dies, he waves his hand and countless Ruhk start to gather around the cliff.

Slowly a figure who is kneeling on the cliff side starts to appear in front of their eyes, Chopper who is the nearest can't help but to pounce on the figure.

"Dr. Hiriluk!!!"
