[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

When Beckman returned to the ship after handling the matter, he was surprised to see his always lawless and over-willed captain kneeling in front of Nicks with his head down.

The surrounding crew members all looked at the captain's deflated look with joy.

"What's going on?" Beckman asked them.

Lu swallowed the meat in his mouth and said with a hint of schadenfreude: "Captain, he wanted to continue the banquet on the ship, but he was taught a lesson by my sister."

Beckman raised his eyebrows: "Sister? Isn't she his sister?"

Jesus shrugged on the side: "Anyway, that's what he announced just now. You know, Captain, he always thinks about it."

Beckman was speechless.

Noticing Beckman's arrival, Shanks' eyes lit up: "Beckman, you're back!"

Beckman suddenly wanted to turn around and leave.

Shanks didn't care about Beckman's inner struggle and continued: "Quick, help me talk to Nyx about continuing the party!"

Nix's face was expressionless: "It's not even possible to bring in reinforcements. You've drank a lot today, haven't you?"

Shanks looked at Beckman without giving up, and motioned to his vice-captain with his crazy eyes.

The almighty vice-captain always has a solution, right?

Under Shanks' eager eyes, Beckman slowly lit up his cigarette, took a puff, and then said calmly: "About the banquet... I agree with Nyx's opinion."

He ruthlessly shattered Shanks' expectations: "I told you before, you drank too much."

Shanks held his head and howled in despair.

A few seconds later, he regrouped without giving up: "But it's still very early, and there's still time to have another party!"

Nyx crossed her hands and said, "It's okay to have a party, but not drinking."

Shanks looked at her in disbelief: "What's a party without wine?!"

Nyx said coldly: "Then there will be no party, go to bed early."

Shanks drawled: "Nix——"

Nyx was unmoved.

Shanks: "Sister——"

Nyx: "...No!"

Beckman noticed some wavering in Nicks and changed the subject in time: "Speaking of which, why are you calling Sister Nicks? Didn't you tell me before that she is your sister?"

And Nyx looks... only in her teens.

Shanks scratched his head and pretended to be dumbfounded: "It's a long story, but that's what it's all about."

Beckman: "..."

Nyx pinched her eyebrows helplessly: "I'm sorry, my stupid brother has caused trouble for you."

Beckman shook his head: "As long as you don't mind."

A thirty-one-year-old brother and a teenage sister, although this sounds strange, it is just one of the many incredible things in this sea.

and……

He looked at Shanks's rarely so relaxed expression and posture... although this captain, who was always erratic, was usually not very serious.

Well, as long as they are happy.

Just when Beckman was distracted, Shanks brought the topic back with a rare flash of inspiration: "So - Nyx - let's continue the party -"

Nyx sighed.

Shanks covered his ears: "I - don't - listen -"

Beckman: "...Nix hasn't said anything yet, right?"

Shanks accused: "She must have said something like making me obey."

He turned angrily, facing the sea, with his back to Nix and Beckman, as if he was going to continue the party no matter what they said.

Nix and Beckman looked at each other and came to the same conclusion from each other's eyes.

Shanks was really drunk.

As if he heard their thoughts, Shanks suddenly retorted: "I'm not drunk! I want to continue the party!"

He stood up, turned around and raised his right hand towards the crowd of onlookers: "Young men, those who agree to continue the banquet, please raise your hands -!"

The melon-eating crew members who were watching shivered under the death gaze of the vice-captain and huddled together.

Shanks complained dissatisfiedly: "Hey, I'm the boss! Shouldn't you listen to me?!"

The crew's thoughts: They just want to be happy, don't drag them into the water!

When Shanks didn't get a response, he knelt down and cried to Nyx again: "They don't listen to me."

Nyx touched his head: "You don't want to listen to me either."

"But," Shanks' voice lowered, "I just want to... hold a banquet for you."

"...I know." Nyx's tone also softened, "But it will be the same again tomorrow."

"It's different!" Shanks shook his head stubbornly, "If...if..."

Finally, his voice was as soft as if he was afraid of waking someone up from a sweet dream.

"If you disappear again tomorrow... wouldn't the party be able to be held?"

Beckman and other crew members had quietly left this deck, leaving the quiet space to the two siblings who had reunited after a long absence.

Nyx opened her hands to Shanks. Shanks sat in front of Nyx, wrapped his right hand around Nyx's waist, and buried himself in the long-lost embrace.

Nyx placed her left hand on Shanks' red hair, and her right hand gently stroked his back, patiently comforting him.

"I'll still be here tomorrow, so don't worry."

Shanks: "Really?"

Nix: "Yeah."

Shanks: "What about the day after tomorrow?"

Nyx: "I'll be there the day after tomorrow."

Shanks: "Where's the day after tomorrow?"

Nyx: "The day after tomorrow is here too."

Shanks: "Then...will you return to land?"

Nyx: "...Don't worry, I won't disappear suddenly like I did back then."

Shanks raised his head dissatisfied: "You also know that you suddenly! Disappeared! Gone! Ah!"

Nyx pushed his head back: "It's my fault, I'm sorry."

Shanks said in a low voice: "...I forgive you."

He was silent for a while.

"Are you really still here tomorrow?"

Nix: "Yeah."

Shanks: "You won't lie to me?"

Nyx: "I won't lie to you."

Shanks: "..."

Shanks fell asleep holding her like that.

Nyx arched her eyebrows helplessly.

Beckman came over and asked her in a low voice if she needed help moving the drunkard away.

Nyx shook her head: "Where is his room?"

Beckman pointed to Shanks' room, curious as to how Nyx planned to move Shanks into the room.

Nyx held Shanks up with one hand to prevent him from falling, and stretched out her other hand toward Beckman, gesturing for him to put his hand on it.

Beckman gently put his right hand on it.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them appeared at the door of Shanks' room.

Beckman felt very strange.

Nyx lowered her head to confirm Shanks' condition and found that he only frowned but did not wake up.

Beckman opened the door for her, and Nyx teleported Shanks to the bedside before moving him onto the bed.

"……What's wrong?"

Seeing that Nyx stayed beside Shanks' bed and took no action, Beckman couldn't help but ask.

Nyx frowned, and finally couldn't help but take out her wand and use a cleaning spell on Shanks, who was sleeping soundly.

comfortable.

Nyx nodded with satisfaction.

Beckman clenched his right hand into a fist and put it to his mouth to hide his smile.

The two quietly retreated from Shanks' room.

"Good night, Shanks."

Nyx closed the door gently.
