[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

"I'm lucky enough to enjoy the sunset with a beautiful lady." The man lay comfortably on the beach chair on the pier. "It seems that this business trip is not so unfortunate."

Sitting aside, Nyx ignored him. She was staring at the sea in a daze.

Because Kurokas only had one boat that could be used for going out, and she just needed to go out to replenish medicine and daily necessities, she decided to sail with the man.

After sending the man to a place that is inhabited and where he can contact the outside world, and after purchasing the necessary supplies, Nyx can drive the sailboat back by herself.

That's how it should be.

But after arriving at the island, after contacting her men, she insisted on shopping with her.

Forget it, when Nyx returned to the dock after buying all the things, she found that her boat was missing. Even if she summoned him with a spell, she couldn't wait for a response.

Either it was driven far away, or it was completely damaged.

Nyx had to consider buying a new boat and sailing back.

But the man stopped him.

"Why don't I pay for the ship after my men arrive."

The man said it was part of the reward. Nyx thought of her increasingly compact treasury and agreed.

So the two of them are now sitting on the dock waiting, the sea breeze rustling Nyx's cloak.

"It will take some time for them to arrive. Maybe the lady wants to hear some gossip? I can provide the lady with some news for free as a boring pastime."

Nyx is not interested in other people's gossip.

Faced with Nix's indifference, the man still kept talking: "Miss, don't underestimate my news. I don't care about the status of ordinary people's families."

Nyx glanced slightly in the man's direction.

The man was inspired by her actions and tried harder to win Nyx's attention: "I know everything about Shihai! Doflamingo in Beihai has been very active recently. He should be preparing to go to the new world, right? Xihai ...Are you interested in the mafia on land? The five major mafia in the West China Sea are still in a scuffle, but I am personally most optimistic about the forces led by Capone Bangui."

"There haven't been any big events in the South China Sea recently. It was said that the Pirate King Goldo Roger left his bloodline in the South China Sea, but no news came out later."

"As for the East China Sea..." The man chuckled, "Two big shots have come to the East China Sea recently! I made a special trip to the East China Sea for this matter."

"In the end, I was accidentally plotted by a traitor." The man spat to express his dissatisfaction, "Fortunately, you guys saved me."

"Dragon people?" Nyx thought of the newspaper she saw a month ago.

"Yes, one of them is a Tianlong! Do you also like to read newspapers?" The man looked inexplicably proud, "Then let me tell you a few more secrets."

Even though there was no one else around, he deliberately lowered his voice: "In order to welcome the arrival of the Tianlong people, the Kingdom of Goa has carried out a 'general cleaning'!"

"That's no ordinary cleaning," the man said mysteriously. "Although Goa Kingdom is known as the cleanest kingdom in the world, there is a mountain of garbage in its territory."

"Do you understand what I mean?" The man gestured, "One fire will burn everything."

He used the past tense.

Nyx's heart skipped a beat.

She and the three little ones don't talk every day, and the frequency is not fixed. It had only been four nights since their last conversation, and at that time they had acted perfectly normal.

"The Tianlong people's ships are very impressive, but they really... don't even let the passing boats go..."

The man was still talking, but Nyx couldn't listen anymore.

She tried to stay calm and took out the little phone bug she carried with her.

The call didn't go through.

……

Nyx hurriedly bought a boat—paying an extra price for it—and sailed toward the lighthouse.

The man shouted from the shore that he would send the money to the lighthouse to reassure her.

After watching Nix go away, the man lay back on the beach chair with a little regret.

"I couldn't exchange names with her." His figure began to change, "But since I have seen my true appearance, I can't tell her my name."

"Yes! If we meet again next time, just tell her my name is 'Moss'."

"My curiosity is really aroused...it seems to be a young lady from the past."

-

In the bandit's hut, Luffy, who had been crying all night, could no longer bear the exhaustion and fell asleep.

Outside the bandit hut, Dadan looked at Ace's back disappearing into the forest and sighed melancholy. She sat outside the door, biting a cigarette butt, but it was tasteless.

In the smoke, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared.

"Dadan!"

"Nix?!"

"I heard that the terminal was burned down. You guys..." Nyx, who rushed back regardless of the cost, looked anxiously at Dadan, who was covered in bandages. "Why are you still smoking outside like this? Come in quickly and I will treat you." !”

"I've taken the medicine, it's fine." Dadan put out the cigarette butt, "Ace and Luffy are more uncomfortable than me."

"The two of them...? Where is Sabo? Did something happen to Sabo?" Nyx had a bad feeling.

Dadan held the extinguished cigarette in his mouth: "Saab... is dead."

……

After roughly understanding the cause and effect from Dadan, Nyx walked into the house and immediately saw the half-burnt little telephone bug placed on Luffy's bedside.

"I originally wanted to contact you, but I found that it didn't work." Dadan leaned against the door. "Luffy cried all night after hearing the news of Sabo's death, and just went to bed this morning."

Nyx also placed her little phone bug on Luffy's bedside, silently looking at Luffy's red and swollen eyes.

"Not long before you came back, we received a letter from Sabo. It should have been written before he went to sea."

Dadan pointed a direction to Nyx: "Ace got the letter and went to the forest."

"I understand." Nyx pulled up the hood of her cloak to cover most of her face, "Thanks."

She knew Ace would be there.

That cliff.

A place that holds many of their memories.

Nyx hid in the mottled shadows of the trees, leaning against the thick and straight tree trunks, raising her head, listening to the sad sounds coming from the cliff and crying.

In this day and age, freedom seems to be within reach.

Pirates often say that as long as you go to sea, you can have freedom.

But freedom is also the most dangerous thing.

Because people never know what they will encounter on the sea in the next second.

Nyx kept maintaining the same movement, closing her eyes and diverging her thoughts endlessly. When the crying over there subsided, she opened her eyes and moved her stiffened body, shaking off the fallen flowers from her cloak.

"Who's there?!" The strange noise coming from the forest made Ace alert. He wiped his face and said fiercely toward the forest, "Dadan? Didn't I tell you not to..."

A hooded figure in a large black cloak approached him from the shadows.

"Nix?!" Ace's eyes widened.

He turned around quickly and patted his face hard with both hands.

When Ace turned around again, he was already smiling. He laughed playfully and rushed towards Nyx: "Nix, you're back! Long time no see!" He hugged Nyx so tightly that his whole body was shaking, "It won't take another two months to come back. Yeah! Me and...we miss you so much!"

"Ace," Nyx put her chin on his shoulder, "When you are sad, you don't have to laugh."

"What are you doing..." Ace gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I am happy that you are back... I am happy..."

He sniffed: "What kind of tears of joy are these! Really, I am happy, I should be happy..."

Nyx hugged him quietly.

Feeling Nyx's movements, Ace could no longer hold back his emotions: "But I really can't be happy now. I'm sorry, Nyx..."

Ace's shoulders felt a little wet.
