Chapter 241 Orange Town

"What happened?" Luffy asked puzzlingly. Looking at Garp's solemn expression and Dadan's sweaty appearance, he didn't notice anything.

Garp glanced at Luffy; his pupil shrank, and then he smiled wildly and laughed, "Ha ha ha, such an interesting little kid; it's a pity he doesn't want to join the navy." He spoke, then turned his eyes away, as if hiding something.

Dadan also understood and didn't say anything.

Eero then returned to the Foosha village, brought some supplies for his next trip, and stored them in the basement of his ship.

Then he released the anchor and sailed away. After some distance away from the dawn island, Eero sat down cross-legged on the deck and then glanced at the attributes and talents he had copied from Garp.

Attribute: 253

Talent: Iron Will, Iron Haki, Fearless, Great Power.

He didn't copy the skills because skills are personal; it's not good to follow others on that.

"Well, Garp had a total of 2530 attributes; after my attribute reached 100, the copied attributes compressed ten times, but quility increased instead; at 1000, it will compress 100 times, I think." Eero muttered, then pasted all the attributes of his potential.

Instantly, his body's veins bulged, and muscles and tendons pumped up like balloons and then compressed back to their original shape. His muscles and bones became aligned in perfect ratio, his height even increased to 6.2 feet, and his body structure became balanced with tough skin.

"As expected, increasing the potential increases growth and power faster." Eero muttered, clenching his fist. He could feel his strength increasing, and his growth was accelerating. Then he glanced at the devil's fruiting ability. 

He activated the Nika fruit ability, and instantly he felt his body change, his cells and tissues transformed by inexplicable power.

Eero raised his hand and punched forward instantly. His arm stretched extremely long and then retracted back.

Tuck!!!

Eero felt the inertia of rubber stretching and contraction; his brow raised intriguingly. 'This ability is amazing."

Then he thoughtfully raised his arms. 

First Form of Force! Expand!

Eero's body instantly bulged, his height doubled, and his arms, legs, chest, and even back wings protruded out with amazing lines. 

"As expected, this fruit ability is compatible with my eight forms of force," Eero muttered thoughtfully, looking at his 12-meter, giant-like body and the white smoke that started emitting from his pores. He pressed his body downward, compressing his feet like springs, and then jumped.

Swoosh!!

Instantly, he appeared in the sky, then stepped into the air. Instantly, his body accelerated, and he passed through the cloud. 

'My power boost increased using this fruit ability,' Eero thought, then stepped harder, his legs compressed like spring, and the air below his feet turned into an arc shape because of the high pressure.

Boom!!!

A sonic boom spread, and he pierced through the clouds with an air arc produced in front of his head, covering his whole body, which helped him fly at amazing speed.

After testing for a while, he returned to the ocean surface and flew toward his ship, kicked the air in front, stopped above the boat, and landed. His body also returned to its normal height.

"Well, it really consumes a lot of stamina." Eero spoke, wiping his sweat away, feeling exhaustion in his body.

"Roar!" Kong roared excitedly, looking at him. 

Eero shook his head, glanced at him, and said, "We are in the middle of the ocean; I can't let you fly right now."

Kong sat down, depressed. Eero ignored his childish behavior and started navigating toward the next island. 

…

A few days later,

Eero was standing on the deck, looking at the direction of the sea. Instantaneously, he noticed something. He raised his head, looking at the black cannon ball that fell into the water beside him, rippling the water around him.

He turned and glanced at the ship far away. It's a pirate ship with side-mounted cannons aiming in his direction.

Eero smiled playfully, turned his boat toward their direction, raised his hand aimed at the cannon ball in the air, then punched, instantly stretching his arm.

Hyper fist!!!

Boom! Boom!! Boom!!!

Instantaneously, the cannon burst into the air. After destroying a few cannonballs, Eero reached the pirate ship. 

He jumped and landed on their pirate ship. "Bastard, how dare you step on our ship?"

The pirate captain spoke angrily, then raised his shotgun, aiming at Eero.

Eero raised his hand and punched the air in front of him; instantly, air compressed in front of his fist, and then an air cannon shot in their direction at fast speed.

Blop!!!

Half the captain's body disappeared, turned into blood mist, and even the ship area behind him was pierced by the air cannon, leaving an empty hole instead.

"Ahhh, captain." The pirate crew members around them were shocked; their eyes popped out of their sockets.

Kong jumped on the ship and leapt at the crew members one by one, punching them off the ship.

Eero glanced around, then walked toward the treasure vault, looking at the gold and silver, some berries, and also looking at the few campuses.

Eero then collected everything and walked toward the supply room. After evacuating all supplies from his boat, he navigated away, leaving the sinking ship behind.

After a little more navigation, he finally reached another island. Looking at the island in front of him, he anchored the boat near the port and landed on the island.

Looking at the town filled with buildings and people's moving among them, he noticed a familiar shop,

"So this is the orange town," Eero muttered, looking at the pet shop, then he glanced around. 'It seems Buggy hasn't arrived yet.'
