[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

Shanks found Beckman meditating beside the railing.

"Hey, Beckman." Shanks walked over, "You told her about the room, right?...Thanks, she agreed to stay."

Beckman raised his head: "Ah, you're welcome. It seems you had a good chat."

He looked behind Shanks and found no sign of Nyx: "Where is she?"

Shanks had a gentle look on his face: "I was tired from crying and fell asleep in the room."

Beckman: "This description of a crying child...you must have made it up."

"As expected, I can't hide it from you." Shanks shrugged regretfully, "Well, I actually forced Nyx to sleep. After all, didn't she stay up all night last night?"

He leaned on the railing, facing the sea: "However, I really hope that Nyx can have a good cry in front of me like I said."

It's not the kind of crying where you shed tears but still tell him that you're fine. Instead, I could put aside all my worries and cry happily in front of him.

"I'm so much older than Nyx now." Shanks pouted, "But I'm still treated as a child by her. It's obvious that she is a child who has not yet reached adulthood."

Beckman smiled and said, "I can't help it, because you are the 'younger brother'."

Shanks clicked his tongue: "Sure enough, we shouldn't have given up the throne of 'brother' so easily at that time."

Beckman glanced at Shanks from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze, then sighed and shook his head.

Shanks: "Hey, what do you mean?"

Beckman said frankly: "After seeing Nicks get along with you, I can't imagine her being your sister at all."

Shanks: "Hey!!"

Knowing that he couldn't argue with Beckman, Shanks was discouraged and asked instead: "What were you thinking about just now? You looked thoughtful."

Beckman lit a cigarette: "I was thinking about Nicks."

Her origin, age, abilities, and her friend Nia who suddenly appeared.

"Don't look at me with that look," Beckman calmly smoked a cigarette. "It's not just me, other people must be curious too."

But pirates are a group of guys who don't care about their origins. All they care about is the present. No matter how curious they were, as long as Nyx didn't take the initiative to ask, they wouldn't ask any more questions.

At the lively beach party, the aroma of barbecue filled the air, and wanton laughter mixed with the waves.

Nyx held a small bowl of wine in her hand: "Please take care of me."

Shanks raised another wine bowl and announced excitedly: "To welcome Nyx, we're having a party!"

"cheers!"

After finishing the bowl of wine, Nyx put down the bowl and picked up the glass with juice.

Mihawk, who was left to attend the banquet, also came over and clinked glasses with Nyx: "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Nyx smiled.

Shanks put his arm around Mihawk's shoulders and held him to toast: "Thank you for this. I owe you a favor."

Mihawk shook his head: "Nix found me first. Moreover, I have already received the thank you gift."

Shanks: "Thank you?"

Nix: "Red wine, and some ingredients."

Mihawk glanced at Nyx and recalled the reward in the castle warehouse that could not be described as "some".

He didn't want to accept so many things, but Nyx said she thought it was worth it.

Mihawk said to Shanks simply: "She values ​​you very much."

Shanks smiled even more happily: "I know. But why did you suddenly mention this?"

Mihawk: "It's just something I feel."

Jesus Bu ran over happily with a bottle of wine: "Boss, look, this is wine from the East China Sea!"

He said to Nyx with a happy face: "I am from the East China Sea, and it is rare to drink wine from my hometown. I heard that you brought it here, thank you!"

Nyx smiled and responded, "You're welcome."

Shanks pushed his wine bowl over: "That's great, Jesus Bu. Give me some too."

Jesus smiled and poured wine for Shanks: "Your bowl is too big, it's half a bowl, no more."

Shanks: "You're too stingy."

Jesus Bu rolled his eyes: "It's not like you don't know that most of the wine piled in the warehouse is wine from the West China Sea. It's rare that I found a few bottles from the East China Sea."

Shanks proudly showed off: "Because Nyx bought it."

The surrounding cadres simultaneously clicked their tongues in disgust.

Here we go again, this crazy girl.

"Actually, it's because..." Nyx was a little embarrassed, "The wine in Donghai is basically bought from Miss Maginot. So the quantity is not very large."

The cadres in the nearby circle suddenly became quiet.

Then it exploded.

"Miss Maginot?!"

Nyx: "Yeah. I heard that you guys stayed in Windmill Village for a long time, so I bought some wine there for you. I hope you like it."

"Thank you, sister!" the crew members shouted enthusiastically.

After thanking Nicks, they surrounded Jesus and stared at the wine bottle in his hand.

Jesus Bu protected the wine bottle in his arms: "Don't just stare at what's in my hand! There's still more in the warehouse!"

The crew members had rather sinister expressions on their faces: "Of course it's because the stolen wine is better!"

Jesus Bu: "Then go grab the boss! I poured half the bowl for the boss!"

The crew glanced in the direction of the captain. Nyx was sitting next to Shanks and smiling at them. The crew members turned around with a silly smile, then changed their faces instantly, showing sinister smiles to Jesus Bu.

Jesus Bu, who failed to divert the fire, ran away holding the wine bottle.

A group of people immediately moved their positions noisily.

Beckman was helpless: "These guys..."

Nix: “It’s hilarious.”

Mihawk had long been accustomed to the noisy red-haired pirates. He drank the wine slowly and then confirmed to Shanks: "East China Sea, Windmill Village... you said there is an interesting kid." place?"

Nyx subconsciously glanced at Shanks' empty left sleeve, then quickly looked away.

Shanks drank the wine in the bowl in one breath and said nostalgically: "Yes. That kid named Luffy. Has Nyx seen him?"

Luffy.

Recalling her life in the mountains behind Windmill Village, Nix couldn't help but laugh.

"I saw him. He is indeed a very interesting guy."

Shanks also smiled and said: "It seems that not only have you met before, but you also get along well."

Nyx gave him a meaningful look: "After all, I'm used to taking care of naughty guys?"

Shanks pretended to be stupid and said: "Haha, really?"

The lively banquet lasted until the afternoon, and everyone who was exhausted from the fun said they wanted to go back to the boat and lie down until they were woken up for dinner.

Mihawk said goodbye to them again and left in his coffin boat.

Nyx stood on the stone on the shore and watched Mihawk go away.

"What are you thinking about?" Shanks asked her.

Nyx: "I was thinking, maybe being like Mihawk wouldn't be a bad idea either."

Shanks: "Huh?"

Nyx: "A guy driving a boat around."

Shanks: "Yeah, not bad."

After a moment of silence, Nyx turned to look at Shanks: "Would you like to walk around with me?"

Nyx walked in front and Shanks followed. On the sparkling seaside, they stepped on the beach one after another, which was beyond the reach of the waves.

Nyx remained silent and walked slowly until she noticed a small stone sunk deep in the sand. She knelt down and held the small stone in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Shanks watched as Nyx suddenly turned around and walked towards him.

Nyx walked up to him and spread her right hand.

Shanks: "Stone?"

Nyx clenched her right hand into a fist, then opened it again.

The stone in the palm of my hand turned into a flapping little fish.

Shanks was stunned for a few seconds and couldn't help laughing.

She held the little fish, and it turned back into stone.

She held the stone and it turned into half a fish tail.

So Shanks laughed even harder.

Nyx watched him quietly as he laughed.

Even though she didn't say anything, even though she didn't have any expression, Shanks already felt at ease just by being looked at by her.

"Windmill Village..." He finally asked the question that he had been thinking about since he heard the name of this place in the morning, "When did you get there?"

Nyx: "Three months since you left."

Shanks: "...Sorry, if I had stayed in Windmill Village longer, I would have found you earlier."

The year he left Windmill Village... happened to be the thirteenth year of Xia Li's prophecy.

Nyx turned the strange half-fish tail back into stone.

"The cause and effect is wrong." Nyx shook her head, "I heard that you had been to Windmill Village, so I decided to go there to see it."

"I'm sorry. I knew you went to the New World, but I didn't go to find you right away."

Even if there are various reasons.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so many years."

The stone in her hand hurt her.

Shanks knelt down, opened her tightly clenched right hand, and threw away the stone that had left a red mark on her palm.

"What...it seems we are both idiots." Shanks smiled, "Obviously no one should apologize."

It was his decision to wait and look for Nyx.

And Nyx must have felt the same way as him.

"The most important thing for a pirate is to be happy and enjoy the moment."

"Now that we have found each other, let's all be happy."
