[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

21

"Captain," Little Shanks kicked the door angrily, "Why do you say that?"

"Shanks?" Roger hurriedly opened the wooden door, his expression changing from surprise to shock, "N...Nix?!"

Little Nix lowered her head and didn't look at him.

Little Shanks hugged his sister tightly and asked Roger through gritted teeth: "Captain, why did you have to send Nyx away? How could you abandon Nyx? Why, tell me!"

"Shanks," Rayleigh appeared behind Roger with a stern tone, "Watch your words!"

Little Shanks pursed his lips and did not continue speaking.

Roger squatted in front of little Nicks and said cautiously: "Nix, just now..."

"I heard it." Little Nyx repeated his words mechanically, "'Should Nyx be sent to live on land?'"

"Uh, I mean..." Roger tried to remedy it, but Little Nyx interrupted him again.

"'Should, should'." Little Nyx was surprised that she could still remain rational, "You are still hesitating."

Roger was speechless: "I..."

Little Nix made a calm judgment: "But you do think that."

Roger couldn't see Little Nix's expression, and her calm tone made Roger even more nervous. Roger, who didn't know what to say for a moment, looked at little Shanks who was full of anger and clearly refused to speak for him, so he had no choice but to turn to his vice-captain for help.

Riley pinched his eyebrows and squatted in front of little Nicks: "Nix, are you willing to talk to us?"

22

"Sorry, Rayleigh."

Rayleigh, who has always been unfailing when it comes to Nyx, was actually rejected.

Little Nicks still had no intention of raising her head, but there was a slight tremor in her words: "I understand what you mean...but I'm sorry, can you let me calm down for a while now?"

"Nix is ​​a good and obedient child..." Little Nix's body began to tremble, "It's just that Nix feels a little uncomfortable now..."

"Don't worry, Nyx will figure it out, she just needs some time to calm down..."

As the words fell, Little Nyx's body disappeared into thin air.

23

Little Shanks, who was hugging his sister tightly, suddenly lost the object of his strength, and staggered to hug himself in a daze.

"Nix...?" His eyes widened in disbelief, "Disappeared?!"

Rayleigh turned on his sense of sight and scanned the hull of the ship, then held down the restless little Shanks: "She is still on this ship."

"Then I'll go find her!" Little Shanks rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out, but the deputy captain caught him by the collar of his clothes. "Vice captain, let me go!"

Rayleigh glanced at Roger, who was tugging at his hair worriedly, and threw the arrogant Shanks into the captain's arms.

"You two idiots who can't talk, just stay here for now." Reilly, who was about to leave to guard Nyx, paused, "But remember to go find her later."

24

"Captain," little Shanks knelt down next to Roger and frowned, "Why do you want to send Nyx to land?"

Roger slapped him on the back of the head: "Don't talk nonsense. I didn't say I must send her away."

Little Shanks covered his aching head: "Then what do you mean?"

Roger sighed: "I just had this idea suddenly. I was just about to discuss it with Reilly...but you guys heard it."

"But why do you think so?" Little Shanks didn't understand.

"Shanks," Roger asked him instead, "Do you like being a pirate?"

"Of course!" Little Shanks replied without hesitation.

"Why?" Roger continued to ask.

"Because I'm very happy." Little Shanks replied matter-of-factly. "Being a pirate is so freeing. You can go on adventures everywhere."

"That's right." Roger rubbed his stiff legs and sat directly on the ground. "Some people become pirates for fame, some for wealth, and there are also villains who simply want to do evil, and some are just like us. A pirate who pursues freedom and adventure.”

"There are many people who go to sea to become pirates for all kinds of strange reasons." Roger patted little Shanks on the head, "What kind of person do you think Nyx is?"

At that time, he took in Nix, whose origins were unknown, just because she was young and had nowhere to go. But as Nyx grew older, Roger began to wonder whether he should keep her on the ship.

"You should have discovered that she doesn't like...it can even be said that she hates fighting."

Nix is ​​a mature and sensible child, and Roger trusts her to take good care of herself wherever she goes. Would the life of an ordinary person be more suitable for her than a pirate whose life is in danger at any time?

"Do you think Nyx... likes to be a pirate?"

After listening to Roger's words, little Shanks' face wrinkled up and he was troubled for a long time.

"I don't know." Little Shanks scratched his head, "But I know that Nyx is having a great time on the boat."

"Captain, don't you always tell me that a person should live happily?"

Roger was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

"You're right, happiness is the most important thing." Roger held little Shanks in his arms and ruffled his hair fiercely, "Oh my, I have to be educated by a brat like you. .”

"Let me go, Captain!"

25

Reilly, who was looking for Little Nix, walked under the mast at the stern of the ship. The troubled crew members were standing there uneasily, looking nervously at the top of the mast from time to time.

Seeing Lei Li approaching, they rushed to greet him.

"Vice Captain, little Nix..." the crew pointed to the top of the mast anxiously, "She suddenly appeared there for some reason. We were afraid that she would fall, and she didn't listen to us when we called her to come down."

Little Nix exuded the aura of "Don't come near her", and they didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that she would jump off the top without thinking.

Reilly calmed the frightened crew and asked them to leave first. Then one man approached the mast and stood quietly below.

26

After a while, he climbed up the mast silently.

But at the top of the mast, he met the silent gaze cast by Little Nyx.

"You still discovered it." Reilly said frankly, "Then Miss Nix, can I sit next to you?"

Little Nyx remained silent, and Rayleigh took her as acknowledgment of his arrival and turned over to sit on the platform on the mast.

He leaned against the mast, put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, and stayed quietly beside Little Nyx, without saying anything more.

For a moment, only the black pirate flag flying above their heads rustled.

27

"Rayleigh," Little Nyx hugged her knees, looked at the endless sea, and finally broke the silence between the two, "Do you and Roger want me to leave?"

She knew that Roger didn't mean to drive her away or abandon her.

But hearing Roger say that, even if it was just a momentary thought, she would still be hurt.

It’s true that she hates fighting, and unlike everyone else on the ship, she has no sailing direction and no ambition to be a pirate...

Reilly asked her, "What if we wish?"

"Then I..."

Little Nix's unfinished words disappeared into Rayleigh's arms.

"Nix," Riley sighed, "I really wish you could be more willful sometimes."

Little Nix's body trembled.

Reilly continued: "Remember what I told you - what I expect from you is that you can do what you want to do and be who you want to be."

Little Nyx tightened her grip on his clothes.

"Nix, think about your own thoughts." Riley gently held her back, "It's not what Roger and I want you to do, but what you want."

"I...I think..."

"Hush." ​​Riley interrupted Little Nyx with a smile, "Leave this sentence to that idiot captain. You must convey your 'ambition' to him properly."

"Ah, but before that, it would be good to let him suffer a little." The vice-captain smiled narrowly, "He actually made little Nyx cry. Don't let him go so easily."

Little Nix burst into laughter.

"it is good."

28

"Little Nicks, Ni-chan——" Roger stood in front of the closed door, patting the door pitifully, "I know I was wrong, don't ignore me! Ni-chan——"

That guy Rayleigh actually let little Nix hide in his room.

Roger sadly turned to look at the vice-captain who was watching the show: "Let her hide in your room and lock the door. What good will it do to you?"

Rayleigh gloated: "I'm happy."

"Go away!" Roger waved his hand to drive people away.

Reilly shrugged: "Remember to put me to bed before I go to bed."

"Get out! Get this brat away by the way!" Roger pointed at little Shanks squatting on the other side.

"Huh...? Why?" Little Shanks protested dissatisfied, "I still thought that if the captain couldn't handle it, it would be my turn."

"What do you mean I can't handle it!" Roger ignored little Shanks's struggle and threw him to Rayleigh, snorting childishly, "If one person makes a mistake, the other person will bear the responsibility. No matter what, this is between me and Nyx. Matters of time.”

He was the one who decided to take in Nyx, and he was also the one who said "should Nyx be sent away?"

Even if it was unintentional, it was a fact that those words hurt Nyx, and he would not run away from it.

29

Even though there was no answer in the room, Roger still kept talking to little Nicks.

"Little Nix, Ni-chan, the cutest, gentlest and most considerate Miss Nix in the world——"

The door was opened, and little Nix appeared at the door with an expression on her face that she disliked his noise.

"Is Little Nix willing to pay attention to me?" Roger shamelessly misinterpreted.

Seeing that Little Nicks was about to close the door, Roger relied on his own strength and speed to squeeze into the room.

"I'm sorry, don't be angry." He smiled ingratiatingly, "How about I fulfill a wish for little Nyx?"

Little Nix tilted her head and looked at him.

Roger vowed and patted his chest: "You can have any wish! But accordingly, if I complete it, you will forgive me, okay?"

Anyway, little Nix is ​​a gentle and kind-hearted good child, and she will definitely not embarrass herself.

Little Nix looked at the confident Roger and remembered the words of the vice-captain again——

"How are you, have you made up your mind?"

Roger rubbed his hands together, as if he could finish it in the next second.

Little Nicks snorted and picked up the thing she was reading just now from the table - the magazine that Reilly later bought for her - "Atrocious!" One hundred great pirates doing evil on the sea! 》, turned to a certain side.

"Oh, isn't this my photo and reward order?" Roger pretended to be shy and scratched his head, "Come on, say your wish out loud! Whether it's my autograph or a high-definition photo, I can give it to you!"

After taking a deep breath, Little Nix pointed to the other half of the spread magazine with her right index finger.

"I want--"

The point he was pointing at was a reward for another big pirate.

Edward Newgate.

"White beard's white beard."

Roger's confident expression froze on his face.
