Rainbow Angel
Asdrerd had just seen the bird fall into the sea, and he was calm instantly.
He was confused by the current situation; it was the first time he had lost control in that way.
The first thing he did once he got back to himself was to check the surroundings, to be sure that no one had seen him use the powers of colors.
While checking the surroundings, he saw the bird disappear into the water, but when he was about to look away, he saw a strange transformation, the bird had become a human being.
Asdrerd was unable to distinguish the appearance of the human being but decided to kill him.
Even if the odds were low, that person could survive, and Asdrerd could not risk his secret discovered.
He pulled out a silver bow and created a red arrow with his color.
He aimed at the body that was sinking into the sea; he could hit it without problems. Asdrerd had trained a lot and had already carried out his experiments so as not to find himself in uncomfortable situations.
Asdrerd could not use his power when he was immersed in water, but nothing created with his power outside the water suffered its effects. Of course, it would crumble slowly, since it could not be supplied, but an arrow did not have that kind of need.
While he was shooting the arrow, he perceived something strange from the human at sea.
"This feeling..."
Asdrerd was not sure why, but he felt a great love for art from that human being. He knew nothing about him, but he had this feeling.
With this thought in mind, Asdrerd changed the red arrow to a purple one. He pointed the arrow at the sky and fired it, throwing it as far as possible. Meanwhile, he used much of his color on the wings, making them grow as much as possible.
After finishing the preparations and shooting the arrow, Asdrerd rushed into the sea, where the bird had fallen.

The girl was about to lose consciousness, she was not deep in the sea, but she had already lost hope since she couldn't swim.
'Ah, I really wanted to be born with artistic talent and be recognized for my paintings...
It doesn't matter the world, if I will ever be reborn it's okay even in a cellar, all I want is to paint.'
As she was about to close her eyes, there was a sound of something falling into the water.
* 𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡 *
Before she lost consciousness, the girl saw something incredible.
The demon that had chased her was now immersed in the water.
The girl did not believe her eyes; the owners of the Devil Fruits should not be able to swim.
Yet the demon was there, with large rainbow wings that looked angelic, very different from the demonic ones she had previously seen.
This image has remained very impressed on her soul; she would have liked to draw this angelic figure right now.
Shortly thereafter, she lost consciousness.

* 𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡 *
Asdrerd had just dived into the water and immediately noticed a girl a few meters away.
He began to swim, as his wings began to crumble quickly.
Asdrerd grabbed the girl and swam to the surface.
He was not worried, because in the worst case only the girl would die, he was not in danger of life.
If the wings had disappeared before rising to the surface, then it was the end for the girl.
Sure, he could swim it to the ship, but he did not really want to work so hard for a person he didn't even know.
If the wings remained, then he would have saved her without too much effort and perhaps gained something very important for this action.
For him, there was nothing to lose.
'There is little time left!' Asdrerd thought. He was a few meters from the surface, but his wings were about to disappear since he could not use his power and therefore supply them.
Feeling that the wings would last another one or two seconds maximum, Asdrerd gave himself the last push and ended up a few centimeters out of the water, with the girl still underneath, since he was pulling her by the arm.
He did not have enough time to rebuild the wings without falling back into the water.
The boy, however, was very cautious and had thought of many possible hypotheses.
Asdrerd saw the arrow he had fired just before and smiled.
He was now out of the water, so he could safely use his powers.
Asdrerd was drawn to the arrow and found himself high in the sky in a few seconds, in the place where the arrow was falling.
"Now we'll see what to do with this girl," Asdrerd said as he lifted her.
He had saved her, but only for his intuition. Asdrerd was not kind enough to let her go once she checked her condition. His future was at stake.
With this belief, Asdrerd returned to the ship.

On the ship, Mysha was wondering why Asdrerd had reacted that way. Mysha was very intelligent and always understood the reasons for most people, but Asdrerd was one of these exceptions.
In the end, she was able to understand his plans, but the fact of understanding everything after receiving answers did not suit her very much.
Even now, she was sure that Asdrerd had acted on a very specific and well-studied plan for several days, and she was sure that she would never act for a stupid or selfish reason. After all, she knew Asdrerd too well.
As she was pondering, she saw Asdrerd returning. Together with him, she saw an unconscious girl.
'Do you want to see that he knew there was a girl in danger and flew away to help her? He was not chasing birds; it was just a coincidence!'
Mysha was certain of her theory. Asdrerd has always helped everyone he could, and he always knew who was in danger, like the boy in the Water 7 channel.
Once Asdrerd landed on the ship, he threw the girl to land and checked his painting.
'Mmmm how can we hide this small piece of dirt?'
Seeing Asdrerd throw the girl so to the ground so abruptly, confused Mysha.
"Asdrerd, this girl..."
"She was the bird!" Asdrerd announced as he moved left and right to check the painting.
'Now I understand! Asdrerd had sensed the presence of this girl and to prevent her from telling someone what she had heard or seen on this ship, he followed her...'
Mysha was happy to have understood the dynamic, even if late.
Then she saw that the girl and Asdrerd's clothes were slightly wet and realized that they had been in the water.
'Despite this, he decided to save her when she fell into the water.'
Mysha felt weak. She had never felt this way. She had always sensed the various presences on her island, but now she had not been able to perceive that this girl was following them.
'Who knows how long she has been following us and how much she has heard.'
"What do you want to do with her?" Mysha asked after thinking about it for a moment.
"For safety, I would like Xott to erase her memory," Asdrerd said without the least hesitation and any type of expression on his face.
"Eh? Isn't it excessive? It must not be nice to lose the memory of your loved ones." Even if she had followed them, Mysha did not believe that such treatment was correct.
"We have to do it!" Asdrerd screamed.
"Don't tell me ..." (Did she find out my secret?)
"Yes!" (She discovered my secret.) Asdrerd confirmed after seeing Mysha's frightened face.
"If so, we can't do anything about it, at least she can live." Mysha understood that they were forced to perform this inhuman gesture.
'I bet it wasn't as easy for Asdrerd to make such a cruel decision.'
'Even if she forgets everything, she shouldn't lose her talent and love for art.' Asdrerd smiled inside.
'Losing love for one's family must be terrible. I would never want to lose the few memories I have of my family and I bet Asdrerd thinks the same too.' Mysha identified herself with the unconscious girl's situation and felt compassion for her.
'I could forget everything and I wouldn't care, the only thing I can never forget is art!' With pride, Asdrerd announced inside it.

Dark...
The girl was still unconscious, but she was still dreaming of the angel who had dived into the sea to save one of his enemies.
The boy's initial appearance had frightened her; he seemed like an angry demon, capable of destroying and killing without hesitation.
'The color criminal ... No, he looked more like a Rainbow Demon.'
Subsequently, however, she saw that same demon throw himself into the sea, the worst enemy of any bearing of the powers derived from the Devil Fruits.
At that moment, she was able to admire the splendor of that being up close. He could swim calmly and freely use his power; he also saved her... an enemy who wanted to ruin his artistic career.
She thought it was the work of a god.
'Those rainbow wings do not represent a demon, but an angel who was sent to this world by God himself.'
It could not be otherwise, he was violating all the laws of the world.
He had two powers, he had no weakness at sea, and he had managed to feel her presence when even the most powerful beings on this world would never have noticed her, but above all, he had a kindness without limits.
She could think of nothing but the image of that angel and could not wait to wake up to paint it.
Once she came back, she would tell her master everything! Spered was an angel and that he absolutely shouldn't cause a scandal about such a pure being.
In her mind, the girl was painting the portrait of the angel.
'I will call this portrait "𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥" !'

On the ship, Asdrerd had the girl in his arms and carried her to at the edges of the ship.
"Xott you can proceed, erase her memories!"
"Are you sure? I can devour all or nothing. She will lose all her memories and emotions." Xott remembered.
"Yes, just do it!" Asdrerd remembered his old argument with Xott. The creature could devour all memories and emotions; it could not devour small pieces. However, Asdrerd did not care about this, he only thought about the advantages for himself that this action would bring.
