[One Piece]Nix likes idiots

Nyx was trying to suppress her urge to throw Ace into the ocean.

Hold it, you can't do that, this guy is a landlubber.

He didn't mean it, he was just an idiot.

...are important people.

After some ideological struggle, Nyx finally let go of Ace in frustration, threw several cleaning spells on her body with despair, and even asked Ace if the smell had dissipated.

When Ace came over to smell it for the second time, Nyx's heart was completely calm.

Ace sniffed it several more times and said with certainty, "I can't smell it anymore."

Nyx's eyes lost their brightness: "Well, that's good."

Ace: "So what does that smell like?"

Nix's expression was numb: "Maybe she got the stench of someone's alcohol."

Ace scratched his head: "Is that so?"

Nyx didn't want to talk more about this topic: "Let's go, aren't we going to hunt for treasure over there?"

She stepped on the rope connecting the two ships first, and after a few jumps, she safely jumped onto the Labyrinth Pirates' ship.

When I looked up, I saw ambiguous smiles on the faces of the crew members.

Nyx: "...It's not what you think."

Crew: "Yeah, yeah, we didn't see anything." After all, girls are thin-skinned, and they understand.

Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. Nyx is once again on her own.

When Ace arrived, who was following closely behind, Nyx said "I'm shopping around" and left in a hurry.

Ace looked at Nyx's almost running back inexplicably: "Why is she running so fast?"

Crew member: “Maybe you’re shy?”

Ace: "Shy?"

That's right too. Nix has been a bit of a germaphobe since she was a child, so it's normal to feel embarrassed when he suddenly said that.

But...the smell of wine?

Ace raised his hand to smell himself, and then smelled the smell in the air carefully: "Do you smell anything?"

"I smell it." The crew member's ambiguous smile when facing Nyx instantly turned into disgust, "I smell the sour smell of dog food."

"Dog food?" Ace's head was full of questions.

Where is the dog food on their ship?

In the end, Ace was unable to solve his confusion, and instead had several more questions.

-

Nyx was hiding on the Labyrinth Pirates' observation deck, throwing cleaning spells at herself while feeling annoyed.

She clearly knew that Ace was an idiot who hadn't yet realized what he was doing, so how could she have such unnecessary fantasies tonight?

When I think of the inexplicable expectations at that time...

Nyx stopped casting the cleaning spell and considered whether to use a spell to erase the memory.

Her control over her emotions has been so lax recently! How could you get yourself into trouble first?

This is not piratey at all!

Nyx put the wand back into her pocket, took out a small notebook, and used the moonlight to read the dense notes on it.

How to woo someone younger than you:

1 Be mature and steady in your words and deeds. (specifically 123...)

2Show yourself reliable. (For example, 123...)

3 Show your strengths, wealth, or power inadvertently. (Reference timing 123...)

4. Provide comfort, support, or guidance when the other person needs it. (Refer to practice 123...)

5. Be patient and gentle. (Analysis 123...)

6 Occasionally it is necessary to be "tough". (Refer to action 123...)

7 and some just the right amount of "confusion". (Reason 123...)

This is a theory she summed up from books and reality. And in Nix's impression, Reilly and Beckman would always make good use of several of them to attract young girls, with a very high success rate. There's no reason why she can't do it in these ways.

Where is the problem?

Was it because the information she collected was not perfect enough? Or are the really effective ones actually the ones she deleted, such as the "always away", "cold and hot", "playing" and other methods of chasing people?

But she doesn't like that.

Nyx closed the notebook and put it away, leaning her upper body against the low wall of the observatory, looking up at the stars and sighing.

Or maybe she was just too anxious.

If you think about it, Ace spent most of his time on Mount Colpo before heading out to sea. In the first seventeen years of his life, the information about love that he had access to was approximately zero. In this case, it's normal to be a little slow towards feelings.

Nyx could only comfort herself in this way.

As for Ace, it has been less than three months since he went to sea. Even if he heard a few words from the crew, he probably wouldn't take it to heart. For the current Ace, the more important thing is to "surpass Roger".

Thinking of this, Nyx was a little frustrated.

If this continues, she will start to be jealous of Roger.

But...

Nyx turned over and lay on the edge of the observation deck looking down.

She saw Ace walking out of a room on the ship with his head lowered and playing with something in his hand. Seemingly noticing the gaze from above, he raised his head. He was a little surprised at how she could appear there. Then he waved the object in his hand towards her with one hand and put the other hand to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet:

"Hey - I found something interesting! Come down here!"

Nyx put on a smile unconsciously: "Okay."

However, she still wanted to stay with this person.

What is this feeling?

It was similar but different from the feeling of wanting to stay with Roger in my memory.

Nyx jumped from the observation deck and landed lightly on the deck.

Ace ran over and handed her a shell mysteriously: "This is for you."

The shell Ace handed over was about the size of her palm, with holes evenly scattered on the shell. I don't know if it was because of Ace's body temperature, but the shell was still slightly warm.

Nyx looked at the strange-looking shell in her hand: "Thank you?"

Ace was obviously not satisfied with her reaction: "Isn't this just an ordinary shell?"

Nyx looked at the new gift carefully again: "Is it a very special-looking shell...?"

Wait, she seems to have seen a shell like this in some book.

Nyx asked tentatively: "Is it the shellfish from Sky Island?"

"You actually know about Sky Island? I just heard about it from Skaar." Ace was a little disappointed when he failed to stump Nyx, but he quickly cheered up again, "Then you know this is What the hell?"

She probably knew.

But Nyx looked at Ace's expression and changed her answer: "I don't know."

Ace cleared his throat and pushed up the non-existent glasses on the bridge of his nose matter-of-factly: "There is no way, then let me tell you."

"Put it up first and hold it up, with the side with the round hole facing out towards me." Ace directed Nyx's movements, "That's it, stand here for a while and don't move or hide away!"

Nyx cooperated, holding the sides of the shell with both hands and holding it to her chest.

"Are you ready?" Ace said as he stepped back a few meters away.

He stretched out his right hand and made a gun gesture. A cluster of flames lit up on the fingertips that resembled the muzzle of a gun, aiming at the shell in Nyx's hand.

Ace: "□□!"

The flame escaped from the fingertips and flew towards Nyx, leaving a dazzling trail in the night. Finally, it hit the shell and was completely absorbed by the shell.

"How about it? It's amazing!" Ace ran over, "This is called Yanbei, it can absorb, store and..."

However, Nyx still maintained the same posture as before.

Ace's speech slowed down.

He hesitantly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Nyx's eyes: "What's wrong with you? Were you scared just now?"

Nyx finally reacted. She freed up her right hand and slowly pressed it on her left chest.

Ace became nervous: "Are you injured?!"

"That shouldn't be the case. During the test with Skar, even bigger fires could be absorbed." He was so anxious that he finally started to attack directly, "Let me see where you were injured!"

Fortunately, Nyx's reason returned in time and stopped Ace from trying to take off her coat: "I'm fine!"

Ace was still very anxious: "Really not? But what you did just now...did this place get burned?!"

Nix: "No!"

It’s not what he thought it was!

Ace: "Really?"

Nyx: "Really!"

Ace was still dubious, so Nyx had no choice but to change the subject clumsily: "You said this is Yanbei, and then what? I didn't hear clearly just now."

"It can absorb, store and release fire. You press this place gently." Ace reminded, "But don't point it at yourself."

Nyx turned the shell with the hole facing up. As she pressed the switch, flames erupted from the hole, like a fountain of flames.

Ace: "If you press it hard, bigger fire will come out. Do you want to try it?"

Nyx did not try immediately, but said instead: "I thought you would hate this kind of thing that can restrain you."

Ace was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately collapsed: "If you think about it, this thing is quite annoying."

Nicks joked: "Then you still give it to me? What do you mean by giving me something you don't like?"

Ace hurriedly explained: "I didn't think about it that much before! I just..."

He opened and closed his mouth, and finally turned his head away with some embarrassment, and explained in a low voice: "Before setting off today, didn't I say I would protect you? In the end, I asked you to protect everyone instead."

Ace: "I know you can take care of yourself. But..."

Ace is not the type of person who can convey his thoughts very well. He's also not used to saying too many pretentious words.

His left hand held up Nyx's hand holding the flame shell, and his right hand placed on the shell, letting it absorb his flames.

"It would be nice if it could help next time you're in danger and I can't get to you."

Hopefully his flames will protect her.

I also hope the flames won't hurt her again.
