[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

Ace walked around under the big tree where they made their home, but couldn't find Nyx.

It's so late, where else is she going?

"Where are you going?"

The sudden sound startled Ace.

Here we go again, this familiar scene and question!

"Do you have to be this scary every time you appear?" Ace turned around and yelled at Nyx.

Nyx closed the blanket around her: "It's not scary. Where are you going?"

"No, I haven't gone anywhere!" Ace wouldn't say that he came out specifically to look for her and hasn't found her yet. "Can't I just go out for a walk?"

Nyx remained silent, as if she accepted his statement.

"What about you? Where did you go just now?" Ace asked her.

"Look at the stars."

"Look at the stars?"

"Yeah." Nyx suddenly stretched out her hand to him, "Together?"

Ace noticed she put her gloves back on.

Why are you still holding hands like a brat?

But he hesitated for a while and finally put his hand up.

In the blink of an eye, Ace felt the world spin, and his eyes suddenly went dark. It was like a pair of big hands squeezed him hard in an instant, suffocating him. Fortunately, this feeling only lasted less than a second, and was even so short that he thought he was hallucinating.

"What did you do—huh?" Ace's words ended abruptly as he recognized where he was now.

He recognized this place. This is a cliff that the three of them often visit. From here, they can overlook the entire sea. Not long ago, they were shouting their dreams to the sea here, and then they exchanged cups and became brothers.

But these are not the point right now. The point is that he didn't move at all just now! He just put his hand on Nyx's!

Wait, Nyx—?

Ace looked suspiciously at Nyx, who had withdrawn her hand: "Did you do it? Your ability?"

Nyx nodded.

"What a useful ability." Ace said with emotion. Lighting, Transformation, Cleaning, Levitation, Cooking, Healing, and now a teleport.

Nyx was noncommittal.

Even in summer, the nights are cool, not to mention that they are now on a cliff by the sea, with cold sea breeze blowing from time to time. Nyx sat back to her previous seat, looked at Ace who was wearing thin clothes, and patted the spot on her right side.

Ace also felt a little silly standing alone, so he took the opportunity to sit next to Nyx.

Nyx covered Ace with the blanket she was wearing and gave him half. She made the blanket larger so that it could fit around two people.

"I'm not cold." Ace muttered, but did not refuse Nyx's kindness.

He soon became restless again.

"Hot?" Nyx turned her head and asked him, "I can get you a thinner blanket."

"No." Once it was quiet, Ace couldn't help but think about Nyx's injury. He messed up his hair with some self-indulgence. It was really not his character to be hesitant, so he decided to ask directly: "What happened to that injury - the wound on your chest?"

Nyx lowered her head and fell silent.

Although Nyx was always silent, this was different. He felt a little tight in his chest and a little breathless. Maybe the blanket was too hot. Ace couldn't help but move a little closer to Nyx and accidentally touched her arm. A creepy feeling spread from the place where their skins met. Ace subconsciously moved his hand away.

Danger! ! ! His instincts screamed.

A burst of black mist came from the left, instantly sucking both of them into it. Ace was caught off guard and rolled around, but luckily he didn't fall. With his sight blocked, Ace was worried that this was the edge of a cliff and did not dare to walk around. Fortunately, the black mist only trapped him but did not cause any harm. He reached out his hand in the direction where Nyx was standing, but found nothing.

"Hey-Nix!" He could only shout her name loudly, "Are you okay? Didn't you fall?"

The only sound in his ears was the howling wind.

Ace could only fumble and move little by little to the location of Nyx in his memory.

It's strange that they haven't found Nyx yet, even though they were not far away just now.

Ace became anxious, couldn't help but take longer steps, and then his right foot missed.

Oops! It's going to fall!

Ace lost his center of gravity and threw himself forward. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly reached the edge of the cliff.

Didn’t Nix fall already?

He doesn't want to die yet.

Someone caught him the moment he fell, and a chill wrapped around Ace's left wrist.

"Nix!" Ace raised his head in surprise, "You're okay!"

Ace's joy froze on his face in the next moment, and gradually turned into disbelief.

What grabbed him was a hand condensed by the rolling black mist, and the main body of this hand was a black mist with a strange red light in the middle core.

A ridiculous guess came to Ace's mind.

"Nix?"

As if he was frightened, the "hand" quickly picked him up and carefully threw him to the ground. Black Mist retracted his "hand" and prepared to run away.

Ace further strengthened his thoughts.

"If you run away, I'll jump down again!" Ace said threateningly. Sure enough, he saw the black mist hanging in the air and stopped hesitantly.

Ace said firmly: "You are Nyx."

Black mist turned its back.

How could he tell? Because the glowing red core turned over.

Ace recalled the way Nyx pulled the hood of her cloak on the outskirts of the Uncertain Terminal and turned her back, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Although the timing was a bit inappropriate, he felt like laughing.

"Ni-chan?" By some mistake, he called out this nickname again.

The whole black mist trembled.

"Ni-chan? Ni-chan?" Ace deliberately teased her. It wasn't until he felt a faint feeling of embarrassment in the black mist that he thought of the real thing, "Hey, can you still change back?"

The black mist became quiet.

Ace was a little panicked, thinking that she couldn't change back and was feeling sad, so he couldn't help but start to comfort her: "Well, it actually doesn't matter if you can't change back! You see, this is actually pretty cool! Sabo and Luffy must also like you more. Look! How handsome!"

Black Mist slowly twisted himself into a question mark.

What's the meaning? Isn't she usually likeable? !

Ace strangely understood the meaning of this question mark.

"Uh! I usually like it, too!" In order to stabilize Nyx's mood, Ace had to admit with a stutter as he looked at Black Mist, who was getting excited again and showing a tendency to show his teeth and claws. This emotion was so foreign to him. He has never said he likes anyone!

"I'm usually very good! Really!" Ace simply broke the pot and threw it, "Look how clingy Luffy is to you! Sabo also appreciates you and likes you! And, I also like you quite a bit!" Finally He almost yelled with his eyes closed.

A little silver light seeped out from the core of the black mist, and then the light shone brightly.

"Close your eyes." Nyx's voice came.

When the light disappeared, Ace opened his eyes again. Sure enough, the black fog in front of him had disappeared. Only Nyx and Nia, who was holding the back of her neck with her left hand and struggling, stood in front of him.

Um? Nia? ?

Nia was still struggling to get away from Nyx. Nyx frowned, raised Nia up with her left hand, and waved the wand at Nia with her right hand. The top of the wand lit up with the same silver light as before, and the silver hair on Nia's body also glowed as if in response.

Nia's struggle gradually became less intense, and then she finally became docile. Nix then put Nia back on the ground, but Nia climbed onto Nix's shoulders again and refused to leave.

Ace on the side could stuff eggs in his mouth.

"Just... what happened?"

Nyx sighed, there were some things she couldn't hide.

"Would you like to hear a story?"

-

The two sat back side by side on the edge of the cliff again, and Nyx magically took out her blanket again and covered them both. Nia curled up on Nyx's leg, nuzzling her fawningly from time to time.

Ace touched her arm tentatively, unaware of the dangerous aura he had just sensed.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine for now."

If her teachers knew that she had just gone berserk again, they would definitely scold her and worry about her again. She has obviously been asked about related matters before, so why didn't she control her emotions this time? Is it because... is the time up?

Ace retracted his hand with some embarrassment.

"Is this also your ability?" Ace asked. Apart from this explanation, he could think of no other reason.

"That's right." Nyx turned her head and asked him seriously, "You said before that my ability is easy to use, right?"

Ace didn't know why: "Ah, yes."

"But what if this is not the ability of the Devil Fruit," Nyx paused, "but what if it is something you are born with?"

"Hey - what!" Ace was a little shocked for a moment, "So powerful! How great! I also want to be born with such an ability! Isn't this super powerful!" His tone was filled with envy.

But why does she look so sad.

"As expected, that's what you would say." Nyx rested her head on her bent knees, "But not everyone feels that way."

"My...biological father, he doesn't think so." She didn't want to use the word father to describe the man, but she couldn't cut off the blood connection between this body and the man. "He thinks I'm a monster."

"I started remembering things very early, so I still remember." Nyx closed her eyes and sank into memories.

"When I first showed my gift in front of my mother, she was shocked. Then she hugged me tightly and ordered me not to use this ability again - especially in front of my biological father. At that time I haven’t met my biological father yet. It is said that he has been working away from home, and he didn’t even come back when my mother gave birth.”

But she just wanted to help her mother pick up a high object.

"I didn't mean to disobey her, but I couldn't control my abilities at that time. Then she started to become...not like her."

She became restless, irritable, nervous every day, and became neurotic. Every time Little Nicks couldn't control her abilities, she would yell and rush towards her and hug her tightly, even strangling Little Nicks until she almost suffocated. She heard her mother murmuring a prayer, begging the gods to drive the devil out of her daughter's body.

"Is there a devil living in me? Or am I the devil? I kept thinking. Then Nia came to me."

Ever since Nia came to her, her powers seemed to have disappeared. Her mother hugged her with tears of joy, but ignored Nia's presence.

She then knew that her mother could not see Nia.

"Am I the devil, or is Nia the devil? My mother prays to the gods every day to drive away the devil, but it turns out that Nia brings her the results she hopes for."

"Or is Nya a god?"

Mother and daughter, as well as Nia, spent several months peacefully until her biological father, whom she had never met, returned home.
