[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

Dawn breaks in the sky and the morning light dims.

Nyx stood on the high canopy of the tree, quietly watching the equally quiet sunrise.

The sunrise is silent, but it lights up the sea and burns in Nyx's pupils.

The gentle chirping of birds coming from the woods brought back Nyx's thoughts at the moment when the sun completely left the sea level.

She moved her body, which had become slightly stiff from staying in the same position for a long time, gathered her black cloak, and jumped from the tree.

Passing by the stream, Nyx took a handful of water from the stream and wiped it on her face to make herself more awake.

But it suddenly rippled and splashed away. Cool drops of water sprinkled on Nyx's face.

"Nia."

Nyx looked helplessly at the catnive that suddenly appeared in her hand.

Compared to how it looked before meeting Shanks, Nia had more silver hair on her tail and limbs.

Nia is a combination of the Patronus and the Obscurus. The more silver parts, the stronger the power of the patron saint.

The stronger the patron saint, whose power comes from happiness and hope, represents...

"You're happy too, right." Nyx smiled and touched their foreheads with Nia, "I'll remember to introduce you to Shanks today, I'm sorry."

Nia flicked her tail reservedly and disappeared into Nyx's hand again.

An hour later, Nyx finished her exercise routine and teleported back to her hotel room. After a simple shower and freshening up, she packed her luggage and walked out of the room.

As she closed the door, the door to the next room opened.

"Good morning, Mihawk."

Nyx greeted Mihawk who came out of the next room.

"Morning." Mihawk also nodded to her, "Shanks came to see you, but you didn't seem to be around at that time."

Nyx was a little surprised: "He woke up? When did it happen?"

Mihawk replied rather helplessly: "I just left half an hour ago."

Thinking of his friend's appearance when he left, Mihawk finally said one more thing: "I think it would be better for you to go find him as soon as possible."

Nyx was stunned for a few seconds and quickly realized something.

"I see, thank you."

On the Redforth, Shanks was sitting on the edge of the ship holding a wine bottle and staring at the sea in a daze.

Even when he felt someone approaching from behind, Shanks didn't look back.

"Beckman," Shanks lowered his head and grasped the bottle in his hand, "I have been wondering if what happened last night... was just a hallucination after I was drunk."

"Otherwise, why did she disappear again today?"

Beckman not only did not comfort him, but instead teased him: "Then you should drink less, so as not to be unable to distinguish between reality and hallucination next time."

"Hey, you...!!" Shanks turned around dissatisfied and wanted to protest to his vice-captain, but his eyes widened when he saw another figure next to Beckman, "Nix?!"

"Nix!" He jumped to the ground, hugged her whole body, and said pitifully, "I thought you were gone again!"

Nyx shook her suspended legs uncomfortably, and finally gave up the struggle, wrapping her hands around Shanks' back and patting him gently.

"I'm here."

Shanks said nothing, just hugged her tighter.

Nyx waited patiently for him to calm down.

"Where have you been?" Shanks asked dully, "I wanted to look for you when I woke up, but you were not on the ship or in the hotel room."

Nyx replied, "Go watch the sunrise."

Shanks was silent for a while: "Watch the sunrise at two o'clock in the middle of the night?"

This time it was Nyx's turn to be silent.

Beckman on the side twitched the corner of his mouth: "Wait, you went to see Nicks at two o'clock in the middle of the night?!"

Shanks: "Don't change the subject for her!"

Beckman:…

Seeing that Nyx was still silent, Shanks put her down on the ground in disappointment: "Forget it, it's good that you're back anyway. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to try the skills of the chef on my ship?"

Nyx looked at Shanks who was depressed but still trying to cheer up. She took a deep breath, her heart skipped a beat, and she spoke quickly: "I'm so excited that I can't sleep. I'm going to run laps in the woods and watch the stars."

Finally, Nyx coughed lightly and concluded: "By the way, I watched the sunrise at dawn."

But Shanks looked confused and said, "Huh? What did you just say? It was too fast, I didn't hear clearly."

Nyx pursed her lips and stepped on Shanks's foot.

"Forget it if you can't hear it."

She pretended to be nonchalant and turned to Beckman, who was trying to maintain a serious expression: "Can you please take me to the restaurant, Mr. Vice Captain?"

Beckman also ignored the captain who was rolling and crying in pain, smiled and leaned over slightly: "Of course. Please go this way."

Shanks climbed up from the ground and shouted sadly to the two people's retreating backs: "Nix - Beckman -"

"Hey! You really didn't wait for me!"

After breakfast, Shanks happily introduced his friends to Nyx.

The officers sat at the same table with them and cast curious glances at Nyx.

In fact, they were very interested in Shanks, the sister who suddenly appeared last night, but they couldn't talk to her due to the atmosphere at the time.

After all, the captain had been telling them that he had a sister.

Faced with so many gazes, Nyx did not have the stage fright or shyness they imagined. Instead, she nodded to them calmly: "My brother has always been under your care. Thank you."

But it does feel much more mature than the idiot captain!

"I also brought some wine to express my gratitude." Nyx continued, "Please be patient with Shanks in the future."

"Sister, you are too kind."

The cadres who heard that there was alcohol immediately changed their words and followed Shanks and called her sister.

Shanks: "Hey——!"

Nix smiled slightly and said: "Just call me Nix. I will send the wine to the warehouse later."

Shanks poked Nyx: "Why don't you take it out now?"

Nyx looked at Shanks with a smile on her face.

Shanks: "Ugh."

Nyx dropped her smile.

Shanks: "Woo!"

Beckman shook his head helplessly.

Nyx suddenly remembered something and patted Shanks who was lying on the table crying and pretending to be dead: "My... well, my partner wants to see you."

Shanks immediately got up: "Partner? Who is it? Where is it?"

Nicks pretended to be mysterious and blinked: "Right here."

Shanks and the cadres looked around: "Is it right here?"

Even Beckman became curious: "But I didn't feel anyone else's breath... Where is he hiding?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Beckman noticed another breath appearing out of thin air.

A small cat head emerged from the cloak at Nyx's shoulder. Nyx stretched out her hand, and it jumped into Nyx's hand.

"It's called Nia, and he's a cat." Nyx held Nia in her hands and said, "But please don't touch it, because it may be dangerous."

"What danger?" Shanks touched his chin, his face full of eagerness to try, "But it's a little strange, why does it give me a familiar feeling?"

Just as Nyx was about to explain, a message from the crew interrupted her.

"Boss, Hawkeye is here——"

Shanks turned to look at the door, and Mihawk was already standing there.

"Hey, Hawkeye, what's the matter?"

Mihawk nodded towards him: "I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Shanks: "Farewell? Are you leaving so soon? Let's stay and have another party!"

Mihawk: "Banquet?"

Shanks hooked his right hand on Nyx's shoulder: "It's rare that Nyx and I are reunited, so we have to hold a huge party to celebrate! You can come too, I haven't thanked you properly yet."

Beckman: "Speaking of which, Nyx came with Hawkeye, right?"

"Yes. I asked Mihawk to take me to Shanks before." Nyx looked at Mihawk, "If it's not urgent, let's stay and hold a banquet together."
