[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

At the lighthouse of Twin Capes, Kurokas was confronting a group of pirates.

"I told you, there is no money here, there are only two ordinary lighthouses." Kurokas said with a sullen face, "If you want to find treasure, go to sea quickly."

"Old man, you really don't know how to use the treasure house." The pirate leader opposite smiled sinisterly, "Since the great pirate era has begun, many pirate ships will pass by here every day."

"As long as you are willing to cooperate with us and do something about the lighthouse at the exit..." He waved his knife and gestured, "When those fools' boats are destroyed and everyone is killed, I will rush up with my brothers and hoard them all over the world. All the treasures were snatched away!”

"It's not like I can't share some of the leftovers with you then, hahahaha."

Kurokas grimaced: "I won't let you touch these two lighthouses."

The pirate leader became furious: "Smelly old man, don't be so shameless, or I'll kill you too!"

Kurokas sneered: "They are just a group of cowards who don't have the strength or courage to venture into the Grand Line. They can only roll back to the entrance with their tails between their legs to bully the newcomers. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Although he hasn't fought in a long time, it's enough to deal with these brats.

The pirate leader was furious: "You——! Okay, brothers——! Follow me——"

Kurokas tensed up his nerves and secretly prepared for battle. The pirate who had always looked fierce on the other side suddenly changed his expression.

"Pull, pull, pull--" He stuttered out a single tone, and his legs began to tremble unconsciously.

"Get out, get out quickly!" The next moment, the pirate leader who had come back to his senses hurriedly called on his men to run for their lives, "Damn it, why is that evil star here!"

The pirates quickly returned to the ship and quickly escaped from Twin Capes.

"Quick, keep paddling! You can't relax yet! We have to wait until the lighthouse is no longer visible!"

Even though the ship had left the shore, the pirate leader still nervously gave orders to escape.

"Boss, what are you so nervous about?" a pirate who didn't know why asked.

"Shut up and paddle harder!" the pirate leader yelled at his disobedient men.

"Boss, it seems it's going to rain." The navigator on the ship reminded.

The pirate leader's face suddenly turned pale.

He raised his head stiffly and saw a large thundercloud above the ship.

Can't escape...

The dazzling lightning that cut through the darkness was the last thing he saw before losing consciousness.

-

"Wow," Ace stood on the bow of the ship and looked far away, "That ship was so unlucky that it was hit directly by lightning."

Deus, who also saw this scene, was filled with uneasiness: "Is this the legendary capricious climate of the Grand Line? ... Where is Nyx? Wasn't she still here just now?"

Ace pointed to the shore: "She said she would go down there and come back soon."

Following the direction Ace pointed, Deus saw Nyx who was talking to someone.

"Nix must have couldn't stand the poor grandpa being bullied by a group of people, so she went down to help." The crew members lying beside the mast wiped their tears with small handkerchiefs, "Wow, wow, she is so kind."

Deus couldn't help complaining: "Your imagination is still going on..."

"Speaking of which, Ace," Deus asked, "how is her strength? Is it okay to let her go down alone?"

"Nix? She should be fine." Ace looked at Nyx's back, "But I don't think I've ever seen her fight with anyone..."

Crew: "Lady!"

Ace: "She hasn't been in good health..."

Crew: "Weak lady!"

Ace was shocked: "Hey? So she is like this?!"

Deus...Deus has lost the strength to complain.

Under the lighthouse, Nyx, who was chatting with Kurokas, sneezed.

Kurokas: "Have you caught a cold?"

Nyx: "...Probably not."

Kurokas said helplessly: "You should...you should pay more attention to your body. Really, neither of them makes you worry."

Nyx lowered the hood of her cloak and remained silent.

Kurokas had no choice but to change the topic back to what they were talking about before.

"Have you decided to go back to sea with this ship?"

"Ah."

Nyx turned her head and looked at the Spedil. Noticing her gaze, Ace waved to her happily.

Kurokas: "That kid looks a little stupid."

"Maybe." Nyx laughed, "But I'm looking forward to his growth."

"Obviously you are just a brat who has just turned eighteen." Kurokas patted Nyx's head unceremoniously, "Don't always say such old-fashioned things."

Nyx lowered the brim of her hat again: "It's almost time, I'm leaving. When Rab wakes up, say hello to him for me."

Rab's collisions with the Red Earth Continent have become more and more frequent recently, and Kurokas has to increase the amount of medicine he uses. At this moment, it is still sleeping under the influence of the medicine.

"If they can... forget it, don't say this. Be careful on the road and don't push yourself too hard." Kurokas warned, "Follow the doctor's advice."

"……gone."

-

On the Spedil, Deuce looked at the record pointer which happened to be full of magnetism, and then looked at Nyx who had just returned.

Nyx took off the hood of her cloak: "What's wrong?"

Deus: "No... I was planning to call you."

Ace put his hand on Nyx's shoulder and announced excitedly: "Everyone is here and the records are full, let's go!"

There was a cheer on the deck.

The ship moved forward in the direction indicated by the needle, and the lighthouse of Twin Capes gradually faded away.

Ace walked to Nyx who was reading a book on the deck: "Do you know that old man just now?"

Nix turned a page casually: "Ah, it's the doctor who took care of me before. After I left Dadan's house, I spent some time here to recuperate."

Ace: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Nyx watched in confusion as Ace rushed towards the stern of the boat.

"Hey - old man -" he shouted in the direction of the Twin Towers, "Thank you for taking care of Nyx -"

Nyx stood behind him holding the book: "Why do you want to thank him?"

Ace turned around and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Because he has taken care of you."

Nyx opened her mouth several times, but in the end she didn't continue to ask further questions.

She sat back down and spread out the book, but she didn't turn to the next page.

"Are you reading the herbal illustration?" Deus asked curiously as he passed by, "Is there something you don't understand?"

Nyx raised her head expressionlessly: "Deus, you can't dwell on the actions and words of an idiot, right?"

The unexpected question made Deus look confused: "Ah? Um... right?"

After receiving the answer, Nyx lowered her head and turned the book to the folded page in front: "I don't quite understand the preparation method of this herbal medicine..."

The topic changed so quickly that Deus almost couldn't keep up with Nyx's thoughts. Fortunately, the second question was an area he was familiar with. Deus quickly put the irrelevant things behind him and exchanged his thoughts with Nyx with great interest.

"I didn't expect you knew quite a lot." Deus said happily, "I haven't talked to anyone about this for a long time. As expected, only communication can make progress."

Nyx closed the book with satisfaction: "I'm also very happy to learn new knowledge."

Deus suggested: "Next time you come to the infirmary and prepare the medicine with me. ... If possible, I would also like to see the preparation of the 'magic potion' you call it."

Nix: "No problem."

Ace walked over with three apples in his arms and put one into each of Deus and Nyx's hands.

"What are you talking about?" He gnawed on the remaining apple in his hand.

Deus wiped the apple in his hand: "Knowledge related to herbal medicine."

"How about it, Nyx is pretty awesome!" Ace's free hand circled around Nyx's neck, "I always think she knows everything."

Nix held an apple in her hand: "I don't know everything..."

“Boss!” the crew member on duty shouted excitedly, “I saw the island!”

Ace immediately rushed to the bow.

Feeling the residual warmth on her neck, Nyx took her first bite of the apple silently.
