'For now I will use this form without ability, or dragon claws will be considered a little overboard.' Eero thought to himself. Force spread through his finger instantly; his muscle and bone structure tightened as if his claws were made from iron.
Fifth Form of Force! Crushing Claws
Instantly, he waved his claws in the direction of the navy warships.
"No, Eero, don't kill them; we are going to retreat." Luffy shouted, his eyes widening, feeling danger from the direction of Eero.
Zoro and others also become solemn, feeling the horrible vibes around his body.
"Luffy, it's already late; it exceeded my expectations, and I can't stop it now." Eero's voice sounded, and instantly the air in front of them was tore open into ten sections with his both claws.
Amidst everyone's wide eyes, everything was crushed into pieces, including air, ships, and ocean water. Luffy and others saw as if everything transformed into small particles and floated.
After a while, everything calmed down; the crushed water merged again with the ocean, but all navy ships disappeared, including the personnel above them.
"Ahhh, Eero, I told you to not attack them, gomu gomu no, pistol," Luffy's eyes widened looking at the disappearing ships and then became extremely angry, punched in the direction of Eero.
Thud!!
Eero raised his hand and grabbed the punch. The next moment Zoro ran and appeared beside him, unsheathed his sword, aiming at his neck.
"What happened to you both? I already told you it was impossible for me to stop that attack." Eero spoke calmly, looking at Luffy and Zoro, then released Luffy's fist.
"Guys, let bygones be bygones; don't fight over dead people." Ussop interjected hesitatingly,
Luffy glanced at him deeply and then said, "You are not suitable to be our partner; I want you to leave our pirate group."
"Luffy, it a mistake" Nami was startled, then said anxiously looking at Luffy; then, seeing the Luffy firm expression, she fell silent.
"We have to agree with our captain." Sanji said, lighting up his cigarette,
"I accept every decision you make." Zoro also said, looking at Luffy, Nami and Ussop glanced around, then both fell silent. Nami hesitated, wanting to say something.
Eero raised his hand and stopped her and then glanced at Luffy and said, "It seems you have decided; anyway, you are the captain. I am leaving the straw hat pirates after today. If we cross paths in the future, I will consider you my enemy instead of my friends."
Luffy and Zoro glanced at him solemnly, without saying anything.
Eero then glanced at Nami and said, "When your adventure ends, I will come for you; stay with them till then; they are the best options for you. Also, this ship is a gift for you, Nami."
After speaking, he glanced at the Apis, copied her ability, and then walked toward the edge of the ship.
Second form of force! Compress
Instantly his figure compressed to one meter, he jumped in the ocean and then disappeared, leaving tearful Nami behind, while other straw hat groups were sighing, except Zoro and Sanji, who were looking at Luffy's calm expression.
"Let's go; we have to reach the warship island," Luffy said after taking a deep breath.
Nami nodded reluctantly and then started navigating the ship toward the warship island.
…
On the other side of the reverse mountain,
A lonely female figure was sitting on the chair on the back of the turtle shell, watching the newspaper, while the huge turtle was sailing in a direction.
Swoosh!!!
Instantly a figure flashed through the ocean, and water splashed around.
Step!!
A figure landed on the turtle shell. Eero looked around then glanced at the surprised expression of the female sitting on the chair in front of him.
'Nico Robin, is she returning to Alabasta after visiting the little garden or is she heading in the direction of the little garden?' Eero thought and then asked without showing anything, "Where is this place, and where are you heading to?"
A surprise flashed through Robin's eyes, then she relaxed a little. 'It seems he didn't recognize me; how did he arrive just now from the ocean?' Robin thought and then suppressed her doubt and replied, "This is the grand line, and I am heading to Alabasta."
Eero raised his brow and nodded. 'As expected,' he thought and then said, "I will also go with you; please drop me there."
Nico Robin thought and then nodded, 'I can't take the risk of attacking him right now; from his posture, he looks like an extremely strong person.'
Eero also nodded and then sat down cross-legged in the front area of the shell, turning his back toward Robin while looking at the sea in front.
After a little silence, Robin became curious, looking at Eero, sitting calmly without any movement as if a statue.
Then she suppressed her curiosity and started watching the newspaper, while inadvertently looking at Eero from time to time.
After a while,
Eero opened his eyes and glanced in a direction; he could sense the island edge a mile away.
'It seems my observation haki is promoted to the high level; probably the sense practice in the previous dimension helped me here also; now the armored haki is only at the medium level.' He thought and then turned and glanced at Robin and asked calmly, "Why are you staring at me? Do you need anything?"
Robin smiled and said, "I want to ask, are you a pirate?"
Eero nodded and said, shrugging his shoulders, "I am, but I am alone as a pirate now; the pirate group I was attached to kicked me out because of my different nature."
Robin was surprised and then became a little curious. "Why did they kick you out?"
Eero glanced at her for a while and then said, "I killed those who wanted to kill us, but my captain even spared his enemies lives; my personality wasn't according to his nature."
