Silver Theorem

"But I think this is a story that a little girl your age should hear~" Nina felt helpless.

4-year-old Mia showed a disapproving expression: "Stop joking, can I learn anything from this kind of story? Don't waste my time."

"That's it..." Nina held her chin, looked at the serious silver-haired girl, and thought, when did it start to look like this?He was obviously very obedient when he just "picked it up"...

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

3 months ago, on the Moby Dick.

Crew: "Father! Something is wrong!"

"what happened?"

The strongest man in the world, White Beard put down his special giant wine glass, as if he was a little impatient because he was interrupted while drinking.

"Well, when we were fishing, we caught a strange thing together..."

"weird stuff?"

5 minute later.

A crew member came to Whitebeard with a big fish about 2 meters long, and a dirty and unknown object was hung on the fish.

White Beard raised his eyebrows: "What is this?"

He looked carefully, and found that the unknown object was covered in rag-like clothes, and seemed to have tiny heads and limbs... Could it be a human child?And it seemed that it was biting the big fish that had just been caught out of the water and its mouth was still opening and closing.

The crew on the deck gathered around:

"What is this, human?"

"No, it should be a sea monster, right?"

The crew member carrying the fish: "Because this guy bit the fish, he was caught together... this guy!"

As he said that, he hammered the unknown creature hard, and the creature let out a low growl like a beast, but it still didn't let go.

"Bastard, I told you to let go! This is our important ingredient...Damn it!"

While talking, the crew continued to punch and kick the little monster. At this moment, with a sound of "crash", the little monster actually bit off a piece of fish alive, then avoided the crew's chasing and beating, and jumped aside nimbly. Started to nibble.Immediately, the deck was filled with a pungent fishy smell, and the crew suddenly felt a chill.

It happened to be on the Moby Dick, and Marco, who was still a teenager with an ordinary crew member, said disgustedly: "It's really disgusting... This guy is definitely not human."

"But...a closer look, this guy's eyes are golden..." said a certain crew member.

"Ah really, and even though it's all covered in mud, this guy...has a head of white hair?" said another crew member.

Marco: "It can't really be human..."

Whitebeard looked at this little monster with great interest. After it finished eating the food in its hand, it turned straight to Whitebeard's direction. Naturally, no one would ignore such a big target.

The little monster stared straight at Whitebeard's beard, then looked at his own hair, and said in a voice as thin as a newborn chick: "Dad."

The crew: "Speaking—!?"

"Hula la la la..." White Beard let out a hearty laugh: "This is really interesting~"

Marco (shocked): "It's hard, don't you..."

White Beard: "It's a pity... I don't remember having a child like you~ But it doesn't matter, from today, you are my son!"

The crew: "No way------!!!"

"What are you talking about, Edward, this is obviously a little lady~"

A calm mezzo-soprano came, and a tall beauty with burgundy curly hair—Nina, a pharmacist and head nurse, came out from behind Whitebeard. Her neck was pure black with a scarf painted with the logo of the Whitebeard Pirates. Very conspicuous, it looks like a smaller version of the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Marco held his head: "You're not kidding, Nina? You mean, this guy is a little girl?"

White Beard: "Then be my daughter, this is the first time I have a daughter, hula la la~~~"

Marco: "Wait a minute, Dad, this is a monster after all, right?!"

"Marco, you're very rude, I'm just starving... um..." Nina bent down and looked carefully at this creature defined as a girl: "Although it can talk, it seems that it can't understand what we say ..."

The girl blinked her golden eyes, and turned to Marco, who immediately made a move of "staying away".

Afterwards, the girl suddenly pointed at Marco with her delicate fingers: "Basho."

Nina (applause): "Oh~ It's amazing to know a very complicated vocabulary~"

Marco (angry): "Who is Basho!?"

Nina: "Forget it~ This child doesn't seem to have received much education, just like a baby who is still in its infancy, please forgive her~"

Marco: "Really... this guy can only distinguish things in this way..."

The girl pointed out her finger to Nina this time: "Lychee."

"Who are you calling Lychee!?? Damn brat!!"

"Boom!" With a sound, Nina's iron fist directly hit the girl to the street.

Marko (shouting): "Aren't you angry!! (And hit her)"

Contrary to the clamor on the deck, Whitebeard's laughter never stopped...

……

So Nina took the initiative to take care of the little girl. She first prepared a sumptuous meal for the girl. Just as she expected, the girl ate three adult portions in one go, as if she hadn't eaten for several years. food.

Then, Nina takes the girl into the bathroom...

"Girls must be clean and beautiful~" Nina said while helping the girl in the bathtub to wipe her body, regardless of whether the other party understood or not.

"Where are you from... do you have a name? How old are you?"

No matter what Nina asked, the girl just kept her mouth tightly shut, staring at the foam on the water surface of the bathtub.

Nina approached the girl and sniffed it: "It's strange, why do you have a potion on you...to be exact, it smells like formalin..."

It was only later that Nina learned from the girl that she had been used as an experimental object before, and the researchers who used her for the experiment seemed to think that she was dead and planned to make her a specimen, but unexpectedly she came back from the dead. Break the specimen bottle and escape.And the girl will have to wait until a month later to express all this clearly.

At this time, Nina didn't care too much, but continued to bathe the girl.

"My name is Nina~"

Nina smiled softly at the girl.

Girl: "Li..."

Nina (black face, clenched fist): "If you dare to say lychee, try it..."

Girl (scared): "Ni... Nina..."

"Hmm~ That's good, the man you recognized as dad just now is named Edward Newgate, commonly known as 'Whitebeard', he is the strongest man in this sea~ And here is the Whitebeard Pirates, From now on, you will be a member of this pirate group~"

"White...beard...the strongest...pirate..."

"By the way, don't you have a name yet? Let me give you one... let's call it... Mia! What do you think?"

"Mia..."

Seeing the smile on the girl's face, Nina was very satisfied.Suddenly, Nina felt like she touched something like a fish fin...

"Oh, did you still bring the fish in? Didn't I tell you not to eat raw food? Besides, didn't you eat so much just now..."

Nina brushed away the foam on the water surface, and after seeing the full body of the fins, she couldn't help opening her eyes wide: "Ah..."

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

Marco was lying on the side of the ship, he was still a little reluctant to admit the new crew members who had just joined.

"Dangdangdangdangdang!" Nina's voice suddenly sounded, and Marco looked over boredly, and then just froze in a daze.

In front of Nina, stood a neat and lovely strange girl.The short silver hair is soft and fluffy, and the golden pupils on the round face are shining with innocence. Although the clothes on his body are simply sewn from old clothes, they can't hide the sweet temperament of the main body at all.

All the crew members (heart and heart): "Ok~yes~love~~"

Nina was very proud: "This is our new crew member, Xiao Mia~ Come on, Xiao Mia, say hello to everyone~"

Mia tilted her head: "Da... home... okay?"

Finally, he looked at Nina uncertainly.

Nina: "Yeah, well said~~"

"Hula la la~~~As expected of my daughter~~" White Beard's eyes narrowed into a line.

"Daddy..." Mia called Whitebeard according to what Nina taught her before.

"Good~~ Hulala~~" White Beard accepted it with satisfaction.

"Besides," Nina stroked Mia's head, "This child is still a mermaid~"

"What? But this one... doesn't she have feet?" Marco changed his words midway.

Nina: "Don't ask me about that, anyway, her body can turn into a fish tail in the water."

Crew: "No wonder she was caught together with the fish... Could it be that she was hunting for food?"

Nina: "Well, anyway, this child will be your younger sister in the future, so take care of her~"

younger sister?

Marco thought to himself, would he have a younger sister?Moreover, it's so cute... Thinking of this, he suddenly felt his heart beat faster.

"Then, let me introduce you brothers, Mia~" Nina said, and brought Mia to Marco.

This cute little girl is going to call her brother right away...Marco seems to be able to hear his own heartbeat... As a brother, he can't be more mature... So, he quickly put on a seemingly steady pose POSE.

Nina: "This is Brother Marco~"

Mia stared into Marco's eyes, and quietly stretched out her fingers...

Marco swallowed.

Mia: "Basho."

Marco freezes.

After 3 seconds of silence.

Nina: "... Basho is Basho~ Next..."

Marco (thawing): "Wait for me! Hey!"

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

After Nina taught Mia the basic alphabet pronunciation, because she didn't have any books on hand to educate children, she simply threw her a dictionary and asked her to read it by herself.

"Head Nurse Nina, this child seems to be only 3 or 4 years old, and she has never received any education. Are you going to ignore her like this..."

So did the nurses.

"Don't underestimate this guy's learning ability~" Nina responded. When she taught Mia to recognize letters, she found that although it was the first time she learned it, she only taught it once, and Mia completely mastered it.

A month later.

"I've finished reading this dictionary, so I'll return it to you."

Mia, who had been immersed in the book, suddenly said such a complete sentence, and Nina dropped the pen in her hand in surprise.

"You said... finished reading?"

"Yes."

Mia's expression was very calm.

"Then, let me tell you about my experience from birth to the present..."

"Wait a minute," Nina couldn't react for a moment: "From birth to now? Don't you... remember everything?"

"That's right." Mia was so calm that she didn't look like a person of her age at all: "I remember everything I experienced from the moment I opened my eyes. The question is whether I can understand it. According to normal values, this seems to be a It's a very different ability."

It's just a monster... Nina thought to herself.

Mia: "It took me a lot of time to sort it out. To put it simply..."

It took Nina an hour to listen to Mia's story, because her life was not long.

Nina: "That is to say, you are 4 years old?"

Mia: "To be precise, it is 4 years and 5 months. I calculated it based on the number of days after birth that I remember."

"You were abandoned when you were born... Do you remember this kind of thing... Do you still remember what your relatives look like?"

"I remember, but I only saw my mother's appearance, she is a mermaid."

"Is that so... Then you were taken away by a group of mysterious people and used as a test object?"

"Yes." Mia mused: "I don't know where the laboratory is, because I have been locked in the room inside, I really want to find that group of people again, because they are in front of me. Talk less, I have absolutely no idea what they did to me."

"So, what are you going to do now?"

Nina is used to this kind of dialogue, and she thinks that Mia's thinking ability is far beyond her actual age, although her current way of thinking is almost all from books.

"I want to know who I really am," Mia said.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

The memory ends.

"Do you already know who you are?"

Nina asked.

"Not yet, you can't find a mermaid with my characteristics in the literature here... By the way, you have too few books here, and you really don't like studying, Nina."

Since Mia was able to speak completely, she has been calling Nina by her name in such a rude way.

"Don't worry about it..." A crossroad appeared on Nina's head, "Mermaids are all the same, aren't they?"

"It's not the same...forget it...who is the most knowledgeable person in our pirate group?"

"The most knowledgeable...it should be..."

"I see, I'll go find him."

After Mia finished speaking, she quickly left the room.

Still doing her own way... Nina smiled wryly.

A day later...

Mia came to Nina with a huge book in her arms, spread it out, and pointed to one of the entries: "I should be this kind of half-mermaid."

Nina took a look: "How do you know? There's not even a picture here..."

"Absolutely not wrong."

"Oh... So, you won't live to be 16?"

Nina's expression remained unchanged.

"No." Mia gave a negative answer: "This dictionary was written a long time ago, and everything is still unknown..."

"Oh~ then you can work hard and live~ After you know who you are, there are still many things to do."

As Nina said, she turned and went to work.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

at night.

Nina and White Beard were sitting opposite each other, and you drank wine one by one.

White Beard: "Nina... Is my daughter still buried in the pile of books every day? Our pirate group is going to produce university students~"

Nina put down her glass: "I don't think so..."

"That's right..." White Beard drank the contents of the cup in one gulp: "However, she doesn't seem to like to smile very much, it's not good to keep a straight face all the time."

"She is still on the way to 'find herself'~ It will be fine after a while... Besides, she is already growing at an alarming rate, when did you become so impatient?"

"Hula la la~~ That's right, time flies by for me... Speaking of which, Nina, you should be considered that guy's adoptive mother, but that guy never seems to call you 'mother' what~"

"Let's forget it!" Nina said firmly: "Being called 'Mom' will make you look very old..."

"And it's hard to imagine...you look like a child, hula la la~~~" White Beard laughed wantonly.

Reluctantly, Nina refilled the wine for him.

"That 16-year-old curse... can't we do something?" Whitebeard's expression became serious.

"In my case, I don't have the strength to do that kind of research. Moreover, Mia is now paying attention to the latest related research all the time. That guy is very professional in collecting information~ But..."

"Except for the information blocked by the world government..."

"Hmm..." A trace of anxiety flashed across Nina's face: "That guy has been looking for the person who experimented on her back then, but he couldn't find it either. Could it be..."

The waves hit the hull of the Moby Dick, and the splashing foam reflected the cold moonlight...

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

4 years have passed...

8-year-old Mia, with OK bandages on her face and bandages all over her body, is cleaning up a table of food energetically.She has completely become a pirate belonging to the world's strongest pirate group.

"Stop fighting with those captains... I don't know what you think..." Nina leaned against the door and said.

"It's true." Mia wiped her mouth: "That Marco doesn't take me seriously every time!"

"That's not the problem..." Nina sighed.

On the other side, Marco is banging his plantain head against the mast of the boat:

"Ah... I'm guilty, I actually made a move, damn it..."

Joss next to him: "It's okay, that kid is serious every time, and she's not bad at all."

Marco: "You cold-blooded stone man!"

Joss: "It's a diamond!"

Marko: "It's a stone anyway!"

……

Mia: "1022, 1023..."

Nina looked at Mia who was doing push-ups meticulously: "I said...why are you so anxious to become stronger?"

"Because... 1030... I have made up my mind..." Mia did not stop exercising: "I want to become very strong... and then... live freely!"

"Freedom..." Nina crossed her arms.

"That's right, I want to have... 1050, the power to survive on my own alone..."

After finishing 5000, Mia lay on the floor in large font:

"Nina...I think of an errand that suits me..."

……

the next day.

"Intelligence personnel?" Whitebeard touched his chin.

"Well, Dad~" Mia showed a big smile: "I'm very good at this, and I can't waste such a big brain capacity for nothing~"

"Hula la la~ So that's how it is~ If my daughter does it, of course I'm relieved~"

"Then it's settled~ But it's okay for the intelligence personnel not to keep the mystery. From today onwards, I will start to study the disguise technique, and my father can't easily tell others about my identity~"

"Of course~ she's a reliable daughter...Hula la la~~~"

How can there be such a father in the world who allows his daughter to do dangerous work... Nina on the side held her forehead.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

time flies.

On the Moby Dick, a 14-year-old girl with silver hair and golden pupils yelled coquettishly in a sweet voice:

"O~ Ni~ Sauce~~~"

The captain of the first team, Marco, opened his arms with a look of enjoyment: "Yes~~~~"

Facing Marco, who was full of flaws, the silver-haired girl punched him decisively to the street.

Mia: "Win!"

Nina: "It's a complete victory."

White Beard: "Hula la la~ Marco, what are you doing~"

Marco fell to the ground: "It's too much..."

"Let's challenge all the captains one by one like this!" Mia burst with confidence: "Pinch, Dad, if I win the captain, can I be the captain?"

"You didn't beat me with strength!!" Marco jumped up.

"What are you talking about~ This is how pirates fight~"

Mia didn't care.Marco was furious.

White Beard: "My daughter is really strong~"

Nina: "Of course, I learned swordsmanship from Hawkeye before..."

She has grown so much in a blink of an eye... Nina looked at Mia and couldn't help but think of the first day she saw her. 10 years have passed, and the dirty little monster at that time has now become a slim and beautiful girl... and she is also the intelligence chief of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Oh shit, now is not the time to have fun fighting, I forgot about that..." Mia scratched her head, "I'm sorry, Nina, Dad, Marco, I have to go out to do something~"

"Didn't you just come back..." Marco was obviously reluctant.

"I can't help it... The Minister of Intelligence is very busy~ I heard that a very interesting boy named Ace came here... I wanted to meet him..."

Nina: "Ace just happened to be on a mission (don't call him 'boy', he's older than you...), what a coincidence~"

"Well, it's okay to meet again next time~ Then I'm leaving, goodbye everyone~"

As soon as the words fell, Mia plunged into the sea.

"Mia—" Whitebeard and Marco yelled at the same time, but there was no response.

Whitebeard glared at Marco suddenly, and said angrily like a child: "Mia is mine, you are not allowed to shout so excitedly!"

Marco: "Dad! Why are you arguing with me!! You are just someone else's dad, not..."

"Do you want to be someone's husband?" Nina suddenly said calmly.

Marco immediately scratched his head and smirked: "Hey, is it okay?"

Nina (definitely): "Of course not."

As Marco hit the mast, he thought: "You guys are too much... It's okay for me not to be my husband... Why can't I be a brother... Why doesn't she want to call me brother normally... ah... My life is such a failure..."

Nina stared at the sea. She knew that Whitebeard was very worried about Mia. They all knew that the mermaid tribe died a year ago (including the idiot who hit the mast), and now Mia's life has entered the countdown...

"Don't worry, Edward..." Nina said softly, "That guy will definitely come back, because no matter how far he goes, this is her home."

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— ————————————

Mia lay motionless on the beach, waves hitting her body, but she couldn't feel anything.

Slowly opened the eyes that were sealed by sand, and it seemed to hear the sound of "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping."

I should be dead already...

Following the sound, Mia saw two vague figures, as if... they were fighting...

Mia worked hard to move her brain: Huh?There are two very strange animals...fighting...one has a long face...probably a horse...the other has a very large face...is it a cow...

It turns out, it's bull head and horse face...then this is the underworld...I'm still dead...haha...but...why are they wearing...suits...

Thinking of this, Mia lost consciousness again, and when she woke up again, she had completely forgotten everything she saw at this time.

The author has something to say:
