[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

It was already early in the morning, and Dadan hadn't slept well for several nights because the brats had run away from home. Dadan hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Yesterday at noon, those three troublesome brats carried the unconscious Nix on their backs and knocked on the door of the bandit's house with howling like ghosts and wolves, making the entire base stand up and down.

The new girl named Nyx that Cap brought here was lying on Ace's back with a pale face, her breathing was weak, and her body temperature was frighteningly low. Dadan sweated several times, worried about how she would explain to Garp if she died like this.

After all, she was not a saint, and her relationship with that girl was just a casual encounter. If it weren't for Garp's sake, and if they hadn't seen Ace and the others so worried about the girl, she wouldn't have been full and kept vigil here.

Dadan muttered inwardly. In front of her, there was a smoking cauldron on the fire.

"Dadan——!"

A little golden carrot-head rolled and fell in front of her. His eyes, which were red from staying up late, were full of excitement.

"Nix wakes up!"

When Dadan climbed up to the attic with Sabo, Nyx had already sat up, and Luffy was leaning on her and crying.

Ace gritted his teeth and tried to pull his crying brother off of Nyx, but failed. Instead, he was held in Nyx's arms.

"Thank you." Nyx hugged them and said softly.

Ace's body trembled slightly, but in the end he didn't push away Nyx's hug.

"Ahem. Are you awake? Can you move? Come down and have something to eat." Dadan stood in front of the attic door, his tone inexplicably sour.

She has raised these brats for so long, and she has never been hugged and acted like a spoiled child by them!

Hearing Dadan's voice, Ace stiffened and quickly broke away from Nyx's arms. He wiped his face fiercely and stood aside trying to pretend that nothing happened.

Luffy's crying gradually stopped, replaced by a loud sound coming from his stomach.

Dadan said angrily: "Okay, you brats, stop hanging around and come down to eat!"

-

When Nix got the porridge that was still hot, she thanked Dadan from the bottom of her heart.

"I didn't prepare it specially for you," Dadan snorted and turned away, "It's just that I want to have a midnight snack."

"What, Dadan is such a glutton." Luffy, who had already eaten one bowl, handed the empty bowl to Dadan without ceremony, "I want another bowl! Porridge and the like are not enough to fill you up at all! "

Dadan's forehead hurt suddenly. She always got mad at the grandson of the Karp family: "You bastard!"

Ace and Sabo quickly added several more bowls. On the contrary, Nyx, who had been unconscious for a long time, only ate two bowls before putting down the tableware, and then sat aside and watched several boys still wolfing down the food.

Dadan lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, glanced at Nicks, and pinched the cigarette butt. She sat down next to Nicks with the extinguished cigarette in her mouth, but she just remained silent.

Nyx turned her head to look at the hostess of the bandit family and saw her frowning at a few boys playing around. Nyx was familiar with this look.

"They are doing fine outside." Nyx said softly, "Don't worry too much."

"What?" Dadan was stunned for a moment, then quickly became embarrassed, "I'm not worried about these brats, it's none of my business whether they live or die. And you said you don't have to worry... and you became like that. Look."

"...Actually, it has nothing to do with them." Nyx explained for the three brothers who innocently took the blame. "It was just my own carelessness."

"Okay, there's no need to plead for them. I know only too well how much trouble these three brats will cause others."

Nyx tried to save her again, but Dadan beside her had already preemptively started cursing. From Ace's mischievous behavior when he was a child, to his scolding, to the doubled trouble caused by Luffy and Sabo joining the team.

"Hey Dadan!" Ace, who was scolded to the point of sneezing several times, rushed over angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"What I said is true, you brat!"

"Womany old woman!"

"You bastard brat!"

The big one and the small one snorted loudly at the same time and turned away.

Ace raised his head towards Nyx: "Are you okay? Let's go if you are okay."

"Where are you going so late?" Dadan turned his head suddenly and asked loudly.

Ace twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a smug and mocking smile: "I won't tell you!"

Luffy cheered loudly: "We want to return to the secret base——!"

Sabo quickly covered Luffy's mouth: "Idiot, don't say it!"

Dadan clenched his fists: "Do you think I am a den of bandits who can come and leave whenever they want?"

Ace made a face at her: "Isn't it, Baga——"

He took the opportunity to wink at Nyx. Nyx understood, quietly picked up her wand, and moved to Sabo and Luffy.

"Hold on to me." Nyx whispered to Sabo and Luffy. The two of them didn't know what was going to happen, but they still chose to trust her unconditionally and grabbed her outstretched left arm.

"Ace!"

"coming!"

Before Dadan could get angry, Ace rushed to Nyx and held her hand.

Then the four of them disappeared into the bandit hut in an instant, leaving only a stunned Dadan.

Garp, who are you bringing this time?

Sure enough, none of the children brought by Garp are normal!

As soon as Dadan finished wailing in his heart, Nyx, who had just disappeared, came back again.

"The porridge just was delicious. Thank you for taking care of me." Nyx used magic to clean up the mess on the floor in a few moments. "Please go to bed early and good night."

After saying that, Nyx disappeared again.

W-what, how could Garp abduct such a well-behaved and polite little girl?

Dadan felt better again, and then his fist became hard again.

Those three stinky boys actually kidnapped such a good little girl from her. They were as virtuous as that stinky old man! Let’s see if she doesn’t teach them a lesson next time!

-

The three brothers, who had stayed up almost the whole night to stay with the unconscious Nyx, slept the entire morning without any surprise. By noon, after digesting last night's midnight snack, their stomachs began to growl with hunger and they woke up.

Nix has prepared a sumptuous lunch for her reward. After driving the three of them to wash up and come back, the four little ghosts happily sat together and enjoyed lunch.

After eating and drinking, the three brothers began to "interrogate" Nix aggressively.

Ace: "If you resist, be strict!"

Sabo: "Leniency for those who confess!"

Luffy: "That teleportation last night was so awesome!"

Ace and Sabo looked at each other and joined forces to beat up the traitor in the interrogation team first. Luffy cried and held two big bags on his head, and Nyx reluctantly took out her wand to heal him.

Ace glared at his coquettish brother with hatred, and having no choice but to hide behind Nyx, he had no choice but to turn his gunfire back on Nyx: "Tell me, what happened yesterday?"

Sabo: "I saw some paw prints at the scene. Did you encounter a tiger?"

Ace looked at Sabo in shock after hearing the unexpected news.

Sabo explained: "You just picked up Nyx and ran away yesterday, maybe you didn't pay attention. I noticed it when I picked up Nyx's fallen weapon."

"Thanks, Sabo. It's very important to me." Nyx hesitated for a while, then admitted, "Yes, I met the tiger you mentioned."

After hearing the reply, Ace kicked the gravel on the ground irritably: "Aren't you told to run towards us when you encounter him? Why don't you come to us?"

Sabo suddenly made a face: "Aren't we already partners?"

"Sorry, I was so self-righteous this time." Nyx apologized solemnly. No matter what, this time it was an accident caused by her being too confident in her own power.

Seeing how quickly Nyx apologized, Sabo's attitude also softened: "If you encounter dangerous situations in the future, don't hesitate to ask us for help." He paused after saying this, "Although I didn't drink sworn blood with you. Liquor, but even if we go to sea separately in the future, as long as you come to me, I will help you unconditionally, this is my promise."

"Hmph, Sabo, you're always so quick and soft-hearted!" Ace was obviously still angry.

Luffy also pleaded for Nyx: "But Nyx has apologized, so just forgive her!" He curled his lips and looked very unhappy, "I didn't help at all this time..."

Luffy was depressed for a while, then immediately grabbed Nyx's hand and swore loudly, "I will become very powerful in the future, and I will definitely protect Nyx! Nyx can do the same in the future." Come to me for help!”

"it is good."

Luffy was indeed happy again, shouting that he would start training soon.

"You two!" Ace, who was momentarily isolated and helpless, felt that he was a fool for still being angry on his own, "I'm still angry anyway!"

He angrily grabbed his weapon and walked away.

Nyx chased after them, leaving Luffy and Sabo still there with their eyes wide open.

The two walked in silence for a long time, one behind the other. Until Ace finally couldn't help it and punched the big tree next to him.

"Hey," Ace took a deep breath, "What exactly are you thinking?"

"I know I'm not smart enough, and I can't understand many things. It's just..." Ace turned around and looked at Nyx with the same dark eyes, as if he wanted to see through her, "I always feel that you are not this People of the world.”

Nyx froze on the spot.

He clicked his tongue, tangled his short hair with both hands, and said with a distressed look on his face: "How should I put it, it feels like you will leave here at any time."

Ace's voice lowered: "Calm down and think about it carefully. It seems that you have never promised to go to sea with us. From the beginning to the end, we were always together."

"In your mind, who do we think we are?"

companion? friend? Or... the same family as Grandpa, Luffy, and Sabo?

It’s so annoying, I don’t want to think about it anymore.

Ace felt that his head was still not suitable for thinking about this. He guessed that he couldn't wait for Nyx's answer. After all, he didn't know what he wanted to express.

"Forget it. What the hell am I talking about." Ace finished speaking what he was holding back in his heart. He decided to put the question aside for now, "Let's go back."

Then he heard Nyx's voice.

"I...don't know either." Nyx's voice was full of confusion, "But I am very happy to stay with you."

"Is this an answer?"

"Ah, that's enough."

One day, they will all get the real answer.

Just like Grandpa Karp said, as long as you survive, you can find the answer in this sea.
