Chapter 247 Trouble Seeking

Eero shook his head and said, "I am not a pirate unless the navy considers me one. I am just an explorer.""Explorer, it's interesting; why don't you join my crew?" Luffy asked intriguingly, then invited him.

"Well, we don't have any explorers on our ship," Zoro said calmly, looking at him.

Eero glanced at them, then, seeing anticipation on Nami's face, he smiled and then said, looking at them, "Although I have the strength for a small self-defense, I am not that interested in battle and stuff like that; I just want to explore this world; if you don't mind, then I will consider joining you."

"He he he, you are interesting and weird; I have decided you will be our partner." Luffy laughed and said, Zoro nodded. 

Nami was looking at him with bright light flickering in her pupils. 

"Let's go; let's eat something," Eero said, pointing at the restaurant. After eating meat and dairy products, they left the restaurant after talking with the usopp. Luffy also recognized him as Yassop's son because of familiar features.

"Brother, there are pirates invading our village." Two kids appeared with frightened expressions and pale faces; both spoke fearfully and informed us.

"Let's go, let's see those pirates; I haven't seen pirate invasion before," Luffy then hurriedly said and ran toward the port.

Eero turned and glanced at Luffy back speechlessly. 'This guy probably encountered the red nose invading Orange Town; he forgot so soon.'

Eero and others also followed him; they knew the trouble-seeking ability of Luffy very well.

Upon reaching the shores, they were surprised, looking at Luffy fighting a group of pirates. 

Eero glanced at the Jango and a hypnosis locket in his hand. 

"Look at me!" Jango shouted and then started waving the locket in front of everyone and then said, "You all will become stronger upon my count of one, two, three."

One!

Two!!

Three!!!

Instantly everyone became extremely angry and strong, including Luffy, whose muscles were pumped up.

Eero speechlessly glanced at the battle; he then shook his head and ignored their struggle. Zoro also unsheathed his sword and ran toward the crowd.

After a while, looking at all the pirates, they were defeated, including Jango, lying there unconscious. He then glanced at the Zoro and Luffy lying exhausted, panting heavily.

'These guys are extremely weak right now,' Eero thought to himself, then didn't care about them.

After a few days,

They gathered at the port of the island, looking at the white ship. "Eero, is this your ship? It's amazing." Luffy said, looking at the ship. Zoro nodded, looking at the ship.

"Well, it belongs to our pirate group after today," Eero then replied calmly, looking at the ship.

"Wait for me," Ussop's long shout sounded; everyone turned around and glanced at him, looking at the huge bag behind him.

Ussop tripped and started rolling on the ground, reaching them, instantly being stopped by the Zoro and Luffy kicks.

Eero smiled and then shook his head. Soon everyone boarded the ship and started navigating toward the ocean.

…

A few hours later, upon destroying a few rock formations using ship cannons, both Ussop and Luffy were extremely happy, but unbeknownst to them, there were two people sitting on a formation, and they sank into the sea, and then they boarded the ship and attacked in retaliation.

"What's the matter with you guys?" Luffy spoke annoyingly and then punched them.

"Damn, it was you who attacked us; what's the matter with you?" Both rebuked angrily and slashed Luffy,

Eero glanced at them fighting like children and ignored them, but Zoro recognized both of their identities, and he spoke, "Are you Johnny and Yosaku?"

"You are? big brother Zoro." Both of them were confused, then instantly recognized Zoro; their bodies shivered and exclaimed excitedly.

Johnny and Yosaku then talked with Zoro and Luffy and also told them about a restaurant ship that is floating on the water.

"Eero, why are you standing silently?" Luffy asked, looking at him puzzlingly,

Eero shook his head and said, "It's my habit; I avoid unnecessary conversation."

Everyone glanced at him speechlessly, then shook their heads. They didn't care. Luffy nodded calmly.

"Well, let's go to the Baratie." Luffy then spoke, raising his hand cheerfully.

Soon the ship was redirected toward the Baratie direction. 

…

"Shoot them up."

Upon arrival near the Baratie, Eero opened his eyes and glanced at the cannon falling on their ship like a star.

Gomu Gomu! Pistol

Luffy jumped on the deck and shot the cannons with his fist; one of them redirected and fell into the Baratie.

Bang!!!

One of the cannons fell on the ship, and a crack appeared on it's side wall.

Eero glanced at the direction of a navy ship far away, walked toward the deck, and said,

"Let me deal with it." 

Luffy and Zoro glanced at him curiously, while Nami was calm; she knew his strength level.

Force technique! Force Palm

Eero raised his hand and stroked the air in front of him with his palm. Everyone saw an instant after image of his arm, and then everyone mouth wide opened in shock, looking at the navy ship that disappeared from the middle section, and the remaining two sections slowly sank deep in the water, along with the navy soldiers boarding on the ship.

Luffy and Zoro shrank, noticing the wide sea crater on the other side of the navy ship; it is filling up slowly with surrounding water.

'This guy is strong,' solemnity flashed through Zoro and Luffy's pupils.

Eero then turned around and walked toward the edge of the ship, anchored the ship near the restaurant, and walked inside.

"Wait, I will go inside first; I am hungry."

Luffy spoke, flew up using his stretchy arms, and fell inside the Baratie through the hole made by the cannon before.

Eero ignored his trouble-seeking ability and walked inside the restaurant. Nami and others followed speechlessly.

After taking seats, they ordered the dishes, and Eero glanced at the next member of their pirate group, 'This is Sanji.'
