[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

38

The Oro Jackson sailed toward a small island.

Today is the day to go ashore for supplies. Clothes, medicine, food, and most importantly, wine.

"Nix! Let's go on an adventure together!" Little Shanks pulled little Nick out of the room without any explanation, "It's a rare opportunity to land on the shore, don't stay bored in the room all the time!"

39

Reilly, who was sorting out a supply list, heard a commotion outside the door.

He reluctantly put down his work and walked out to see what they were fussing about.

On the deck, there was little Nix who was trying hard to hug the mast, little Shanks who was desperately trying to pull little Nix off the mast, and a group of crew members who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

"N-K-Si--!" Little Shanks squeaked and tried hard, "Go--play-- with--me--!"

Little Nyx hugged the mast tightly with her hands and feet, silently expressing her protest.

Little Shanks' face turned red from the exertion, but Little Nyx remained motionless on the mast.

The onlookers took out small flags from nowhere and waved them happily.

"Come on, Shanks! Show off your manliness!" "Don't lose!" "We're optimistic about you!"

Roger among them was shaking the most vigorously.

40

"Damn it! Why are you so strong!" Little Shanks huffed and slumped to the side, breathing heavily, "I-I'll take a rest first! ... I'm not admitting defeat!"

Seeing that he had indeed temporarily lost his fighting ability, Little Nyx slowly slid down from the mast, still having the mood and energy to pat, tug, and tidy up her clothes.

Then, she gave little Shanks a look.

"Ah!" Little Shanks was furious and incompetent, "You were definitely complaining about my weakness just now!"

41

"Do you also want to go ashore and play?"

Rayleigh walked towards the two men who had temporarily stopped fighting.

Little Nix shook her head.

"I'm going! I'm going!" Little Shanks jumped up and rushed towards Little Nyx again, "Let's go, let's go!"

A nuisance.

Little Nyx hid behind Rayleigh, and Little Shanks chased after her.

Seeing the two little ghosts starting to circle around him, Rayleigh sighed in amusement and helplessness.

Then he chose to hug little Nix.

42

"Rayleigh! Rayleigh!" Little Shanks jumped at his feet dissatisfied, "You are partial! Partial!"

Reilly laughed. Little Nyx lay in the vice-captain's arms and secretly made a face at little Shanks.

Little Shanks became even more angry.

43

Finally, little Nix agreed to go to the island for a walk.

Because Reilly gave her a bag of bailey and told her to buy what she likes.

Hopefully there will be a bookstore on that island.

Little Nix hugged the money bag tightly.

44

"Vice Captain, we want pocket money too!"

The vice-captain chose to leave them with a cold back.

45

Little Shanks sat on the sofa in the bookstore chatting away, looking towards the bookshelf for the 101st time.

A pile of books nearly half as tall as herself has been stacked at Little Nicks' feet, and two more books are added to it from time to time.

"I've been looking at it for a long time, are you done?" Little Shanks jumped off the sofa and ran to Little Nicks, "What do you want to buy?"

Little Nix glanced at him and silently placed a book titled "How to Get Along with Naughty Children" on the top of the pile.

"Do you want to get along well with me?" Little Shanks' eyes lit up, and he hugged little Nicks happily and excitedly, "You don't have to hint me so tactfully! I like you the most!"

Little Nix was strangled until she was about to suffocate:...

46

Little Shanks struggled to pick up the stack of books, which was already half as tall as him, and staggered towards the cashier.

"I... I can do it alone!" Little Shanks panted, "I'm... very strong!"

Little Shanks was still brooding over the previous victory and defeat, and wanted to take this opportunity to wash away his shame.

Of course, little Nix wouldn't mind if someone offered to help her move her books.

But... the top book is going to fall off!

47

"How to Get Along with a Naughty Child" hit the naughty child on the head.

Then the other books fell to the floor, burying little Shanks underneath.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly from the pile of books and wrote a big word "regret" on the ground.

Damn it, I lost again!

48

"Hey? Are you sure you want to buy this? Did you accidentally get it in when you were cleaning it up?"

The bookstore owner adjusted his glasses while looking at the magazine in his hand.

Little Nix nodded, stood on tiptoes, and placed the numbered Baileys on the counter.

"Haha, it seems that you are also a guy who is interested in pirates."

49

"Extremely evil! One hundred great pirates doing evil on the sea! 》

Nix bought five identical special issues.

Read one, collect one, and put one under the pillow. Then cut out the reward orders and photos from the remaining two books and paste them in the room.

...Or buy a few more copies.

50

Carrying a large book basket donated by the bookstore owner, little Nix poked little Shanks who was lying on the sofa pretending to be dead.

Little Shanks looked at little Nicks who was carrying the large basket of books with ease.

"Why are you so much stronger than me! Damn it, are you a monster!"

Little Nyx's outstretched hand froze in place, and the light in her eyes quickly dimmed.

"Nix, wait for me!"

Little Shanks, who was confused and didn't understand why Nyx suddenly became depressed and ran away, hurriedly chased after her.

51

"Where did she go?"

Little Shanks stood blankly at a crossroads with people coming and going.

"She ran so fast...Why are she suddenly unhappy? Didn't she just praise her for her strength?"

52

Little Shanks was lost in a deep alley with twists and turns.

Abandoned, uninhabited alley. The mottled walls are covered with moss.

His intuition and past experience told him that Nyx would definitely hide in this alley.

Dark, cold, and dead.

Although the sunshine was so great, the sky was so beautiful, and the sea was so majestic, she preferred to stay in a dark room holding those books and refused to let go.

What, wouldn’t it be more interesting to go out for a walk and see the world with your own eyes?

He will protect her, so don't be afraid to go out anymore.

But...Nix, where did you run to?

They had promised Rayleigh to wait for his return in the bookstore!

53

Nyx was indeed in the alley.

But at this moment, two uniformed guards were blocking the road behind him.

Opposite, a child with a crown and an arrogant face was holding his chin high.

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"

Nix hugged the magazine she just bought and stared at the ground without saying a word.

"This prince has taken a liking to you! Come back to the palace with me and become my maid."

The child who claimed to be the prince of a neighboring country looked arrogant, and the little follower behind him also looked arrogant.

"Being a servant to His Royal Highness the Prince is an honor for a lowly pariah like you!"

Nyx had no reaction to their words.

Her indifference irritated the other person. The prince sneered, strode up to Nyx and gave her a hard push.

No push.

The prince, who felt he had lost face in front of his followers, was so angry that he raised his voice and asked loudly.

"I'm talking to you! Do you hear me? Are you deaf or mute!"

Nyx still ignored him and didn't even raise her head to give him a look.

The prince was so angry that he almost fainted, and suddenly his sharp eyes saw the magazine cover held in Nyx's hand.

"Hmph, what are you holding in your hands? You are indeed a low-class untouchable." He said in a scornful tone, "Are they so vicious? They are just a bunch of trash... What is that look in your eyes!"

The prince was so frightened that he took a few steps back involuntarily.

"Guard! Guard!" He pointed tremblingly at the girl whose eyes turned pure white, "Monster! She is a monster!"

54

Little Shanks heard a loud noise coming from the other side of the wall.

The sharp and mean insults were mixed with the banging sounds of fists and feet hitting the vagina.

Only there was no begging for mercy or groaning.

What happened next door? No one was killed, right?

Little Shanks climbed up the wall.

55

Little Nyx closed her eyes and endured the pain from the sticks and fists without saying a word.

Why don't these people draw their swords?

For a monster like her...it's impossible to kill her at this level...

"Hmph! Even a monster is nothing more than that!"

The prince casually threw aside the wooden stick in his hand, and finally took out the knife he carried with him and aimed it at Little Nyx's heart.

"For the sake of letting me have a good time, I will give you a happy one."

Little Nyx could feel the iron chill coming from her heart. The scar left in the same location many years ago seemed to be aching again.

That's right, that's how it should be.

Point it at the monster's heart, and then——

"What are you bastards doing!!"

Her heart skipped a beat.

56

Little Shanks flew down from the wall and rolled into a ball with the prince. The knife that was about to be inserted into her heart was accidentally dropped by the owner.

Little Shanks angrily pinned the prince down, raised his fist and smashed him in the face without saying a word.

The prince wanted to resist, but he was so pampered that he couldn't beat little Shanks who grew up in the pirate group.

"Guard... guard!" The prince spat out blood-stained spit, "Hurry up and save me!"

The two guards hurriedly released the restraint on little Nyx and rushed towards the prince.

But faster than them were the prince's followers. He took out the decorative knife from his waist and stabbed at little Shanks in a panic.

"Uh……!"

Before the splashing blood could even hit the ground, it was sucked into the thick black mist.

The black fog that came like a flood swallowed up the alley in the blink of an eye.

57

The manic black wind opened deep and shallow scars on little Shanks' body.

The painful screams in his ears made him uneasy.

Little Shanks clutched the most injured waist and stumbled towards the direction of Nyx in his memory.

"Nix!"

At the center of the storm, there is a cocoon of black mist. The ever-rotating pages of the book surround it. Sensing the approach of Little Shanks, the flying books flew toward him one after another, blocking his progress. The heavy books slapped against his arms, leaving patches of bruises.

"Nix? Is it Nix? Are you in there?"

Little Shanks anxiously patted the black cocoon body, ignoring his injured and bloody hands.

His instinct told him that Nyx was in the cocoon.

"Nix! Answer me! Are you okay? Are you okay!"

"It's me, Shanks, don't be afraid!" Dizzy due to heavy blood loss, little Shanks knelt beside the cocoon without strength, but still gritted his teeth to maintain consciousness, "I'm here, I will protect you!"

"So... don't be afraid!"

The wind wrapped around the cocoon seemed to soften.

"Nix, I know you're in there."

He closed his eyes and hugged the black cocoon, resting his head on the cocoon.

"Didn't you promise me that we would go play together after visiting the bookstore..."

"So, come out quickly..."

"Nix..."

"do not be afraid……"

"I am here……"

Little Shanks's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally fell into a coma completely.

The raging black wind stopped for a moment, and then destroyed everything around it more violently.

There was only a circle of peace around the unconscious little Shanks.

58

Reilly arrived at the bookstore at the appointed time and came to pick up his two little ghosts. He asked the bookstore owner about their whereabouts.

"The little girl suddenly ran out, and then the boy ran after her. I'm so sorry, I really don't know where they went."

The bookstore owner shook his head at Reilly apologetically.

Rayleigh pinched his eyebrows nervously as he walked out of the bookstore.

It would be understandable if Shanks suddenly ran away, but Nyx...?

The next second, people screamed in panic on the street.

"Run! Everyone, run away!" Among the scattered crowd were two guards holding children, covered in blood. "There are... monsters in the alley! Black, fog-like monsters that can eat people. !”

Rayleigh immediately spread his knowledge and rushed towards the dark alley filled with mist.

59

The violent black mist melted quickly under Rayleigh's domineering force.

No, not disappear, but shrink.

The strange source is constantly withdrawing its claws.

When all the strange movements calmed down and all the black fog disappeared, the two people appeared in front of Rayleigh.

Little Nyx, who was covered in injuries, sat motionless on the ground with her head bowed, holding in her arms the unconscious little Shanks who was covered in blood.

"Nix..."

Little Nyx turned her head in the direction of the sound numbly.

Two lines of black tears flowed from her closed eyes.

60

Little Nix has locked herself in the warehouse for three full days.

It is not an infirmary for healing, nor a comfortable room, nor a storage room for storing food, but a warehouse for storing sundries and spare weapons.

When she woke up from the infirmary, she began to stare blankly at little Shanks next to her. He was still unconscious, his body covered with bandages, and he also had a high fever.

Little Nyx just stared at Little Shanks blankly, showing no reaction to other people's questions.

"Nix..."

Little Shanks, who had a high fever, shouted her name in a daze.

The next second, little Nix fell off the bed. She got up from the ground, rushed out of the door in embarrassment, rushed into the warehouse and locked the door.

After that it was three days.

Little Shanks has been sleeping, and little Nyx has been locking herself in the warehouse.

If the food and water left at the door of the warehouse hadn't been used up a little every day, Rayleigh would have kicked the door open and pulled her out by force.

Alas, but since she is still willing to eat...

Reilly knocked on the door helplessly.

"Shanks is awake, why don't you go check on him?"

61

There was no movement inside the door.

Rayleigh sighed.

"I left dinner at the door."

62

The first thing that little Shanks did when he woke up was to ask how Nyx was doing.

"Hey, you can't move!" The ship's doctor stopped him from getting up because of his headache. "She woke up three days ago."

Little Shanks lay down obediently: "What about her?"

"Well..." The ship's doctor hesitated, not knowing how to explain it to him, "You can go play with her after you recover."

63

"Why doesn't Nyx come to see me?"

Little Shanks lay on the bed aggrievedly, complaining to the captain and deputy captain who came to visit him.

"Uh, well..." Roger looked at Rayleigh for help.

Reilly also had a headache: "She... must be unhappy."

Little Shanks' eyes widened: "Huh? Why?"

"Because you can't play with her because you're like this!" Roger slapped Shanks on the back of the head, "Hurry up and heal up and go play with her, you brat!"

The ship's doctor on the side said: "Captain Roger! Don't beat the patient and aggravate his condition!!"

64

"Nix!" Little Shanks, who was finally allowed to get out of bed by the ship's doctor, ran to the door of the warehouse, "Why are you hiding in a place like this!"

He banged the door hard: "Come out and play!"

There was a little movement inside the door, but it soon became quiet again.

Little Shanks slapped the door harder: "I have forgiven you for not coming to visit, so come out quickly - come out and play together!"

There was a clang of iron products clashing in the warehouse.

"Hey!" Little Shanks twisted the door handle in a panic, "Did the weapon inside fall off? Are you okay?"

"Speak! Nyx! Answer me! Otherwise I will kick down the door!"

"It's okay...go away...!" Little Nicks' voice came from behind the door.

"Why!" Little Shanks was depressed, "I came to you as soon as I could move! You asked me to go away, that's too much!"

"Go away...!" Little Nicks repeated stubbornly, "Go away!"

"I don't!" Little Shanks also became stubborn, "I don't!"

There was no movement inside the door again.

After waiting for a while, little Shanks kicked the door angrily.

"Stingy guy, isn't it because I haven't played with you for three days? Why am I so unhappy! I..."

Little Shanks struggled for a while, but still couldn't say "I hate you the most" and "I will never play with you again."

"I will play with you every day from now on! I will accompany you no matter what you do! Don't be angry!"

Little Nix's hysterical voice sounded again: "I don't need you to accompany me! Don't come near me!"

"You...!" Little Shanks was so angry that his eyes went straight.

65

"Oops!" Little Shanks slowly put his hand on the doorknob and shouted loudly and exaggeratedly, "My head suddenly hurts so much! Oh, my hands hurt so much! My feet hurt so much! All over my body. it hurts!"

click.

The moment the door lock was unlocked, little Shanks, who heard the movement, twisted the door handle at lightning speed, pushed open the door, and squeezed himself into the warehouse.

Then I choked on the gray in my nose.

"Ahem..." Little Shanks covered his nose in disgust, "Why do you stay in a place like this?"

Little Nyx pursed her lips and wanted to go out, but Little Shanks quickly closed the only door with quick eyes and hands.

"You won't be able to escape this way!" He raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

Little Nyx had no choice but to shrink herself into the corner farthest from Shanks.

"Why are you so far away from me!" Little Shanks approached dissatisfied, "I'm not the one who wants to harm you."

"..." Little Nyx buried her face in her knees, "But I am."

"what?"

"But I'm the one who will harm you!" Little Nyx clenched her fists, "So stay away from me!"

"No! Nyx won't harm me!" Little Shanks frowned, "If you don't want to play with me, you have to find a better reason, right? How can this..."

"I can!" Little Nyx suddenly raised her face, "The person who caused your whole body to be injured and covered with bandages, the person who made you coma for three days and had a high fever that wouldn't go away, the person who caused you to lose too much blood and almost die, all... it's all me!"

"It's not...!" Little Shanks wanted to speak anxiously, but was interrupted again.

"The black cocoon is me, the black mist is me, and it's me who threw the book at you!" Little Nyx was trembling all over, "Do you understand? Get out of here! If you don't want to die, stay away from me. Stay away from people...monsters like this!"

"I don't want that!" Little Shanks rushed forward and hugged the trembling little Nyx tightly, "I don't want that!"

"Let go!" Little Nyx screamed, and the weapons around her began to shake in her excitement. "You saw it too! If you don't let go, I will hit you with a weapon! You will really die!"

"Nix won't hurt me!" Little Shanks yelled, squeezing his neck, "I, I'm not hurt! The bandages on my body were all put on by me just to pretend to be cool!"

"And I wasn't in a coma for three days! I just... just slept for three days because I was too tired from playing with Nyx!"

"I won't die either. Look, I'm still alive and kicking, and nothing has happened to me." Little Shanks smiled at her without any grudge, as if nothing really happened, "So, Come out with me, Nyx."

66

In order to celebrate that Little Nix finally ended her isolation and to celebrate Little Shanks' recovery, everyone on the ship unanimously decided to hold a grand banquet.

"Everyone, why are you celebrating a...monster like me?" Little Nyx lowered her head uneasily, "Everyone already knows that I am a monster."

"What, you are still struggling with this after all these years!" Roger laughed and hugged her, "Don't worry about monsters or anything like that!"

"Devil? Monster?" Roger raised little Nyx high, "Others probably think of us the same way. So, are you afraid of us?"

Little Nix shook her head fiercely.

"Then, how can we be afraid of you?" Roger held her up and spun her around, "And we are very strong! Even if you turn into the black mist, so what? Otherwise, you will still lose to me. Well."

"And how cool it is to be able to transform!" Little Shanks also said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Nyx and I are brother and sister. Captain Roger, will I also be able to transform in the future?"

Roger put little Nicks down and touched little Shanks' head: "Haha, who knows. But it's probably not possible."

"Huh?" Little Shanks looked shocked, "Why?"

Little Nicks ruthlessly shattered his illusions: "I have said many times, we are not brother and sister."

"Hey??"

"...At least it's not a blood-related family member." Little Nyx looked away awkwardly, "What about that? You said before that because you are the older brother, you have to protect me...right..."

"Uh...right..." Little Shanks, who was knocked unconscious by the news of the explosion, replied blankly.

"Now you should finally believe that we are not brother and sister. Then, I don't feel that I need a brother...so..." Little Nyx took a deep breath and looked at little Shanks seriously, "You treat me as my younger brother. Come on, Shanks."

"Oh...oh...hey???"
