They sort of did have a secret wish between them... that is to NOT tell anyone about Laugh Tale and what the OP is
None of Roger's crew have ever spoken a word about it to anyone else, which implies that they all agreed together to keep it hidden between themselves
Instead they all faded away into obscurity and lived the rest of their lives quietly and hidden away from the public
Which I still dont get, to be honest. The WG is absolutely terrified of anyone finding it. Roger and his crew laugh to tears when they did but still keep it a tight secret. Somehow there is also the plot of the sea level rising, weapons of mass destruction, Loki, Nika, DEMONS and so on. Somehow the Davy Clan who got genocided but Roger and co are still tight lipped despite witnessing it.
It sounds like the greatest Rick Roll in history but on planetary scale?

the strangest thing about everything that happened... why didn’t xebec tell harald about imu???
ok harald is generally foolish and got what he deserved, but his goal was good... he managed to achieve a significant part of it (the giants are peaceful, some of them even fight alongside marines against piracy, and people’s perception has slowly changed). imu is the real problem — xebec hid that from his friend for almost no reason.
one might say xebec respected harald for the peace he wanted so telling about imu is going too far against that... however, there's no peace to begin with by having imu around.
I see no issue with this. This is all "My closest friend" when the bottom line is they thought to be closer than they actually are. Just how Harald left his closest friend to die, Rocks didnt trust him enough to tell him the worlds secrets. Not really a plot issue but both considering each other as close friends yet both are flawed as people. They just arent good people and saw each other as more than they are. Goes double for Rocks. His entire crew wasnt built on trust but power. They all are scumbags just driven by the same goal, so you can argue Rocks saw a friend he never had but couldnt trust him as well.
