Chapter 287 - Next Destination

Afternoon past, Xin and the girls start to prepare dinner. They know that the other will be going home in just a few minutes.

Xin go to the garden that Stella cultivate and take some fresh ingredients from it.

They prepare a large amount of meat and vegetables because they know that everyone can eat tons of food.

After that, he start to ask the younger kids in their group to clean themselves before they eat.

After all, they play with Baymax the whole noon and they both are already dirty and full of sweat.

Meanwhile, Sora is sitting at the table while writing something on a piece of paper. Xin got a glass of juice and placed it in front of her and asked," What are you doing?"

Sora still writing while replying at Xin," I'm just making new magic formula base from Stella's magic arrow"

Xin said," Well good luck"

Sora suddenly stops writing and gaze at Xin, she asks," You're not going to ask me what I discover?"

Xin smile and said," I know that you will going to tell me later after you finish your formula so i don't need to ask"

Sora stares at him and then continue her formula," Your right, the formula is not yet done, but don't worry i will let you see it later"

Xin nodded and then started taking his time while drinking a glass of juice.

In the kitchen Stella comes out, she already removes her apron and washes her hand.

She is holding a glass of tea and sitting beside Xin. she asks," Master … Did you enjoy your trip?"

Xin smiled at her and nodded," Yes I enjoy it, I met a lot of people while I'm traveling. Some of them become my friend"

Stella calmly asked," Are you going to take us now?"

"Yes that's my plan, you don't need to continue to train here and Grandpa Garp is going to come back at the Marineford so it much better to gain experience outside than continue training here"

Stella asked," Robber again?"

Xin grin and said," Rob the pirates is the only secondary plan. My main plan is to visit a certain Island here in east blue"

Stella confusedly asked," Visit? Do you know someone there?"

Xin said," Well …. I don't really know anyone there …. I just want to go there to see a certain ex-marine …."

Stella asked," Who? A friend of yours?"

Xin singh said,'' No she is not a friend but ….. She is a good person and i like to know more about her"

Stella confusedly said," She? A girl? How did you even know a girl here in east blue?"

Xin mysteriously smiled at her and said," That's a secret .."

"One day she and fellow Marines were sent to the Oykot Kingdom to fight some pirates causing trouble there."

"The fight was bloody, leaving many dead and destroying the village which the two sides were fighting in. She lay wounded and dying, she decided that it was alright to let herself die there."

"However just as she was giving up and letting herself go, a child appeared carrying her sister in her back. Then she took the two back to her village"

"Upon arrival, a storm had broken out over her home island and the two children had grown ill. She insisted the two girls get treatment before her."

Later, after all three of them were better again, she asked the other villagers not to register the girls for adoption with the World Government. She declared with many protests from the other villagers that she was old and mature enough to look after the girls herself"

Xin stare at Stella and said," I'm confused to her, why she insists on saving and adopting the two unknown girls"

"She is already wounded and she still takes the two girls with here even though that she did not know them"

Hearing Xin's little story, Stella strat to become curious about the ex-marine. After all, even her parents sell her just to pay their debt.

Stella gently smile at him and said," I want to see her too master, and the two girls too"

Xin said," We will …. After all that is our next destination ….."

Suddenly Stella asked Xin," Master. How do you know the story of that girl?"

Xin whispered," Just a gossip that I heard while I'm in the sea ~"

Stella stares at him and stops asking the question again, she knows that his master has a mysterious origin and she knows that she will never answer her question correctly.

....

A few minutes before dawn, Makino, Luffy, and Garp, come back home tired. They spend the whole day training in the jungle.

While Garp is still okay, Makino and Luffy are tired and hungry. They only wish that there is cook food at the camping site.

In the distance Garp sees a huge white animal standing in front of the house while staring at Koala and an unknown girl.

Garp couldn't see the face of the animal but he was sure that it was a fierce one. He hurried to save the two girls in front of the animal.

He appeared beside the animal and punched it in the face. He already imagined that the animal would be knocked out from his punch but he was shocked when he saw that the animal dodge it by leaning its head.

Because he was shocked, he did not notice that the animal already counter him with a straight punch.

Seeing the punch is already close Garp just let it land on his face, after all the animal only looks big and never actually damages him.

But he was wrong again when the punch hit his face, Garp actually felt the power from it.

After being hit. Garp throw in the distance and crush into a big tree not far away from them.

Makino and Luffy were shocked by what they saw, they both know that Garp is strong but who thought that he was just punched by an animal and thrown in the distance.

Meanwhile, the people inside of the cavin hurry go out to see what happens, seeing the foolish look on the face of Baymax and unconscious Garp in the distance Xin knows that something bad happened just now.
