[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

Nyx was on the deck trying to repair her flying broom, and Deuce was sitting next to her, watching.

Today, she and Deus were responsible for guarding the ship, while the rest of the Spade Pirates ran ashore to play.

Nix repaired and replaced the damaged parts that were removed and put them back into the broom, and then started polishing and waxing the broom.

Deus asked curiously: "Is it fixed now?"

Nyx: "...It's hard to say. Let's give it a try later."

The climb over Upside Down Mountain really put the flying broom into overdrive.

What was she thinking at that time? Maybe he was thinking that it wouldn't matter if he died like this.

Nix's face remained expressionless.

Deus looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "I heard Ace say that you guys knew each other before?"

Nix: "Yeah."

Deus: "So you two reunited after a long separation and sparked some sparks?"

Nyx was stunned: "...What spark?"

Deus: "...Aren't you together?"

Nyx: "...?"

Deus: "...?"

The two were speechless.

Nyx suddenly laughed.

"Did what happened last night make you misunderstand?" Nyx returned her attention to the broom, "We are not in that kind of relationship."

"This...is like this..." Deus said awkwardly, "It is indeed like this."

Damn it, he shouldn't trust those guys!

But... Esta...

"Ace, just treat me as a friend and partner." Nyx analyzed calmly, "In his mind, those actions are just ordinary fun like when he was a child."

Nix continued: "Even if I tell him that we have grown up and we need to keep our distance, Ace will just look like he doesn't understand."

Deus wanted to say something for his captain, but he couldn't refute it for the moment.

Deus: "But...well, although sometimes I don't know what he is thinking...but I can feel that you are different."

Nyx shook her head: "I know. But that 'special'... is not what you think."

Deus was a little frustrated.

"Okay, okay. It seems I've thought too much." He leaned against the bulwark and put his hands behind his head, "It's a pity."

Deus looked up at the sky: "Ace... the Spades Pirates are the place Ace gave us who had nowhere to go... many of the members on the ship are not pirates at all."

The dazzling sun in the sky forced Deus to close his eyes.

"We admire him and worship him," Deus said with a wry smile, "but in contrast, we cannot get close to his heart."

Nyx didn't speak, just listened and quietly maintained the branches at the end of the broom.

"Everyone in the Spade Pirates hopes that Ace can find a safe home as soon as possible." Deus was silent for a while, then opened his eyes and turned to Nyx, "What do you think? If you are interested in Ace, I will help you."

Nyx looked at her hands on the broom.

The back of the hand, which is not covered by the fabric, is covered with light-colored scars that are no longer conspicuous but can still be discovered if you look closely.

During the few years she stayed at Shanks' place, Nyx used potions every day to cover the scars that could not be completely removed. After leaving the Redforth, she stopped taking medicine.

These scars are proof that she does not belong to this world.

And the hideous wound on her left chest was a constant reminder of what a terrifying devil she hid in her heart.

Nyx put on the hood of her cloak to cover her expression: "Love, like wine, is something that can easily make people lose their mind."

After saying that, before Deus could react, she grabbed the broom and stood up.

"I'll go around the boat a few times to test its performance."

During the flight, Nyx's mind was filled with complicated thoughts. She pursed her lips and repeatedly increased the speed of her flying broom, hoping that the whistling wind would take away all her emotions.

Don't want to think.

If only... she wasn't such a monster...

"Hey-Nix-"

A familiar voice came from the Spedil. Ace, who had just returned to the ship, was waving to her excitedly.

"Take me to play with you too!"

"I'm not playing." Nyx controlled the broom and returned to the Spedil. "I'm testing the performance of the broom."

Ace looked at Nyx who was still in mid-air: "Is the test ready?"

"Well... wait a moment."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nyx took the broom and fell straight into the sea.

"Emergency stop...test completed."

She stopped steadily less than half a meter from the sea.

It seems there is no problem...

Nyx was about to fly up when she saw Ace jumping off the ship.

Ace...?

The boy who fell from the sky hugged her tightly.

The broom that had just been repaired made an overwhelming noise and carried the two of them down to the blue seabed.

The broom...is broken.

Nyx closed her eyes.

-

"What the hell are you two doing! Are you committing suicide?!"

Deus, who was soaked all over, angrily taught the two idiots who had just been fished out who couldn't swim.

Nyx sat on her knees on the deck, her head lowered in silence.

Ace, who had soaked in sea water, collapsed on the ground and retorted weakly: "Nix can't swim. If I see her falling, I will definitely save her..."

Deus became even more angry: "You should remember that you are also a landlubber! If someone hadn't helped me just now, I wouldn't be able to fish you two out by myself!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the man sitting on the other side wringing his clothes.

"Wait... who is he?" Deus asked belatedly.

The man put on his glasses and top hat again and gave him a friendly smile: "Hello, I'm Michal."

"His name is Michal and he is a teacher." Ace finally regained some strength and sat up. "He will be our partner from now on."

Teacher... Ace has brought back a strange guy again.

"Mihal...right," Deus stretched out his hand, "My name is Deus. Thank you just now. I'll take you to change into clean clothes first."

Michal took his luggage and left with Deus.

Suddenly, only Nyx and Ace were left on the deck.

Nyx remained motionless while kneeling with her head bowed, and Ace carefully moved in front of her.

"Are you angry? Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing that Nyx didn't reply, Ace began to become nervous, "I'll call Deus!"

"Hey, Deus, hurry up--"

The rest of the words were lost in the sudden embrace.

"Ace..."

Nyx's hands holding Ace trembled slightly.

"Pirates are very greedy... once they like something, they will only want more and more... they will never be satisfied..."

"If you don't get what you want, you will turn to destroying everything..."

"I don't want to become a monster that only destroys...so..."

Don't do that again, Ace.

Stop shaking her...

"Hmm...?" Ace put his hands behind his back to support the weight of the two of them, "I don't understand what you are talking about...?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to just grab it? You also said that we are pirates." Ace said with a smile.

Stop talking, pirates can't stand the temptation...

He continued to think divergently: "Well... But if you want the big secret treasure, we have to fight Luffy... Well, that's okay."

Ace...

Ace finally said: "If you want it, I will go grab it with you."

"..." Nyx slowly shook her head, "That's not what I want."

Her voice was very soft: "What I want is another treasure left by Roger."

Ace immediately looked disgusted: "What's so good about his stuff? Why don't you change it?"

Nyx smiled slightly.

"Let's talk about it. I haven't confirmed whether I really want it or not, and the map and key are still missing."

"But...if one day, the door to the treasure opens by itself..." She leaned into Ace's ear and whispered, "You are willing to accompany me..."

Ace suddenly pushed her away with one hand and covered half of his ears with the other.

The body that lost its support fell backwards and hit the deck with a thud.

"You, you, you, what are you doing so close to me?" Ace freed up his hand to touch the painful back of his head, revealing half of his red ears.

Nyx blinked innocently.

"Ace...I think I have a clue."

Ace: "Huh?"

Nyx: "So, you will be willing to go grab the treasure with me, right?"

Ace turned away and said, "Go ahead...although I'm not at all curious about what else he left behind. But if you want to go, I'll go with you."

Nyx stretched out her hand to Ace and said seriously: "It is a very precious treasure."

Whether it is a devil or a pirate, once they set their sights on a treasure, they will do whatever it takes to get it.

If the precious treasure continues to tempt her to snatch it without realizing it, she won't be polite.

……

Deus closed the door silently.

Michal: "What did the captain call you for just now?"

Deus: "...He might think I'm hungry."

Michal: "???"
