[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

Ace listened quietly and did not interrupt Nyx's words, but clenched his fists unconsciously.

He sensitively noticed that all the names she called the man were "biological father" or "that man" instead of "father".

Nix continues to tell her story:

"It didn't take me long to figure out that he didn't like me or my mother."

The man was irritable and would punch and kick his mother if she had any trouble.

She wanted to stop the man, but she couldn't even walk at that time.

"I wanted to use my abilities to protect my mother, but my mother stopped me."

In her mother's crying screams, she felt that power for the first time in a long time. She unsteadily manipulated the empty wine bottle on the table, intending to throw it at the man whose back was turned to her, but she saw her mother looking in her direction in horror, shaking her head desperately at her.

The wine bottle fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound. The drunk man didn't notice anything unusual and just cursed a few times, but at least he spared his mother who was bruised and swollen.

But the days that followed became more difficult day by day, and the man would punch and kick her from time to time. But perhaps it was a gift from the devil. Her body always recovered quickly and she managed to survive.

Until one day, the frustrated man raised a kitchen knife against her mother.

She used her ability to snatch the kitchen knife away from the man's hand. After the knife left the man's hand, she lost control, fell from the air, and opened a gash in the man's arm. The injured man looked around in horror and met her dark eyes staring at him faintly.

"I used my power to protect my mother, but I angered my biological father."

The man was startled, and then angrily picked up another fruit knife and rushed towards her. Her mother stared at the man's injuries and screamed. Perhaps in the mother's mind, little Nix who hurt the man was already possessed by the devil, so she watched helplessly as the man stabbed the knife into the heart of her infant daughter.

"Don't you want to know where the injury on my chest came from?" Nyx opened her eyes, put her hand on her chest, and calmly narrated, "My biological father, while cursing the monster to die, The knife went into my heart."

Ace's mind went blank. After a while, he spoke with difficulty: "Are you... okay..."

"As you can see, I'm still alive." Nyx touched Nia's body, "It was Nia who saved me."

"You have also seen the black fog just now. Because of Nia, I was able to escape like that."

She finally turned into the monster in the man's hands and escaped.

At that time, she had actually lost her sense of self and acted entirely on instinct.

Transformed into black mist, she drifted aimlessly, confused, not knowing where she was or where she was going.

Nyx's voice suddenly became lighter: "Then...a very powerful man took me in as a homeless man and gave me a name."

Her mother always wanted to wait for her father to come back before naming her, so she never had an official name.

"Is he the important person you are looking for?" Ace asked.

Nyx's eyes darkened: "No, he is already dead."

"Sorry..." Ace didn't know how to comfort her and was a little at a loss.

Finally, he imitated Nyx's actions when comforting Luffy and reached out to touch Nyx's head.

Nyx was stunned for a long time, and it wasn't until Ace seriously considered whether she should just jump out of here that she came back to her senses, held his hand with both hands, and showed the brightest smile since tonight.

"Thank you."

"No, no, nothing!" Ace quickly pulled out his hand, coughed a few times to distract himself, and then asked, "What about the other injuries?"

"I'm not hiding this part." Nyx's gaze returned to the stars in the sky, "Those are indeed injuries sustained while rushing."

Perhaps knowing that this was not enough to convince Ace, she continued: "You must have experienced the side effects of teleportation just now."

Ace recalled it for a moment, still feeling frightened: "It was quite uncomfortable."

"It'll be fine once you get used to it. For me, short-distance movement basically doesn't go wrong." Nyx hugged her knees and shrugged, "But if something goes wrong, there will be a split phenomenon. "

"Separate?" Ace frowned.

"Well, it's just like you thought." Nyx's tone was calm, "The person has moved from one place to another, but there is still a small part of the body left in the same place. A few strands of hair, half a fingernail A piece, an organ, a small piece of muscle... or even half a body, it's all possible."

Ace had goosebumps all over his body: "Hey, did you just want to kill me?"

Nyx sighed helplessly: "With my level, this kind of distance cannot go wrong. I promise."

Ace hesitated: "Then you..."

Nix stretched out her hand from the blanket, as if trying to catch the stars in the sky: "The reason why I have so many wounds on my body is just because I walked a long way."

Following the guidance of the starry sky in my memory, I crossed the "road" of several worlds in order to return to this sea.

And she was lucky to be able to come back here alive. As for the sequelae of being constantly cold, it's really nothing.

Ace reluctantly accepted Nyx's statement. He didn't think too much about it, he just took the so-called "very long way" literally.

It's so jealous, that guy. Some people are willing to travel long distances for him, even at the cost of being injured.

Would anyone be willing to treat him like this, to show such feelings to a being with devilish blood?

Ace didn't dare to hope.

"Okay, now that the story is over, can Ace sleep peacefully?" Looking at Ace who was inexplicably depressed, Nyx could only tease him to divert his attention.

Sure enough, this trick worked. Ace curled his lips with a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "What! I'm not a brat who wants to hear a bedtime story!"

"Okay, you're not." Nyx smoothed his hair and stretched out her hand to him, "Do you still want to experience it again?"

Ace put his hand up without hesitation.

When the two returned to the secret base, Luffy was already lying on the bed. He was obviously sleepy and almost fell asleep, but he still kept his eyes open and waited for them to come back.

"Where have you been? It's been a long time." Luffy's little head moved little by little, leaving no doubt that he would fall asleep in the next second.

"Sorry," Nyx touched his head, "We are back, go to sleep."

"Okay. Good night Anix, good night Ace, good night Sabo..."

"Good night, Luffy." Nyx said softly, tucking him in again.

Luffy had already fallen asleep, and Sabo, who had been watching over him, also yawned: "Let's go to sleep. We will continue to build our secret base tomorrow."

They said good night to each other and went to sleep.

-

Nix dreams about that past event - the first turning point in her life.

She didn't know how she came from an industrial city filled with thick fog to this endless sea, but it didn't matter. To her at that time, nothing mattered.

She wandered, picking up the waves and letting them fall over and over again, feeling that her life was flowing away along with the falling water. There was a sailboat heading in her direction in the distance. Songs and laughter came from it, and Nyx had an uncontrollable violent impulse in her heart.

Let's destroy this world with her that hurts her but still makes her smile.

The black mist she transformed into suddenly rushed towards the three-masted sailboat with the red sail——

"Oh my, you really scared me!"

The man standing at the bow of the ship easily resisted her full blow with one hand. She escaped and attacked again. The man's hands were suddenly covered with unknown power and attacked her. His hands were like claws, as if he wanted to catch her, but he was in vain in the black mist.

"What? So you're not a person with abilities?"

She was proud of the man's failure, but he was still in high spirits.

"Then let's try this trick!"

The next moment, the overwhelming momentum firmly imprisoned her.

"Rayleigh! Jabba! Everyone! Come and see what I caught!"

The man childishly shows off his loot to the rest of the crew.

The black mist was rolling and struggling in the invisible cage, and the scarlet red light at its core flashed, as if screaming in pain. It wanted to break free, but it was afraid of something.

Jabba came over to watch with interest: "Did you catch something strange again, Roger! What is this?"

Roger smiled brightly, showing his neat teeth: "I don't know! Rayleigh——"

Vice Captain Reilly suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second, the smile on his captain's face became even brighter.

"Rayleigh, let's keep it!"

"Don't keep random strange things!" Rayleigh roared at him.

"Hey...? Don't be like this, Rayleigh!" Roger looked at the black mist that was gradually becoming listless, "But I heard it saying-"

help me.

She doesn't want to die.

help me.

She wants to live.

help me.

She's not a monster...

Why did she have to be treated like this.

She felt so wronged.

Black mist curled up into a ball.

Roger hurriedly released the shackles of domineering: "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry!"

But without Haki, he couldn't touch the entity at all, and could only watch the black mist twitching as if sobbing.

"Oh, I won't kill you anymore, stop crying!"

Roger raised his hands in panic to show his harmlessness.

Everyone else on the boat had strange expressions on their faces, watching their captain perform a one-man show in front of a black mist.

This scene is really weird! Captain, what are you doing? Captain!

Roger didn't care what his crew thought, he was used to being independent. After all, he is the captain, no matter what he does, everyone must bear with him!

The most important task right now is to coax this little black mist that has been crying in his ears!

"Is there somewhere you want to go? Huh? Are you homeless? Then do you want to sail with us?"

"What's your name? Huh? You don't have a name? How about I give you one?"

"Well... there was a little guy who just came to my boat recently. His name is Shanks... Shanks... Xiang... San... um..." Roger suddenly slapped his head, "Yes! Just call him nikusu! By the way, do you have a gender?"

"Huh? You're a girl. Then it's decided to be Nyx!"

Roger stretched out his hand and held the black mist in vain: "From now on, your name will be Nyx!"

Nyx...?

her name?

Her consciousness as a "human" seemed to be clearer.

"This will be your home from now on!"

Her... home?

The black fog suddenly dissipated. As Roger was stunned, a little baby still wrapped in swaddling clothes and covered in blood fell out of the black fog, and he hurriedly caught him.

"Hey? Why did you suddenly become a living person! Ship's doctor—ship's doctor—!"

The entire Oro Jackson was in chaos because of this new arrival.

From then on she had a name and a family.
