The Pirate Leader had just rushed into the maintenance channel when he saw Yang Bo dive into another, even smaller maintenance channel.
The Pirate Leader did not dare to be careless. The glow of his battle armor grew brighter. Holding his energy weapon out in front of him, he quickly gave chase.
At this stage, Yang Bo was mainly using his superpower to move rapidly, taking advantage of the terrain to temporarily evade the Pirate Leader’s pursuit.
Yang Bo had already chosen an excellent spot. As long as they reached that place, this guy would absolutely not escape his mecha.
Right now, Yang Bo wanted to exploit an information gap against the Pirate Leader. He wanted to make the man believe that his superpower was weak, and that he relied on operating a mecha. By the time the Pirate Leader realized his mistake and found himself face-to-face with an actual mecha, it would be too late.
Yang Bo’s prediction was spot on. Although the Pirate Leader followed closely behind him, he was unfamiliar with the environment here and did not know Yang Bo’s true background. He simply didn’t dare to launch a rash attack at this moment; after all, this place was highly restrictive. The Pirate Leader was waiting for a spacious area where he could use his abilities freely.
Seeing the Pirate Leader’s movements earlier, Yang Bo guessed that the opponent’s superpower might be related to speed. Superpowers related to speed required room to operate. The maintenance channel itself wasn’t very spacious, which would limit the opponent’s performance. Furthermore, without knowing Yang Bo’s true strength, the opponent absolutely wouldn’t attack recklessly.
Of course, if Yang Bo guessed wrong and the Pirate Leader insisted on forcing a kill right now, Yang Bo still had ways to deal with it. At worst, he would just release his mecha and fight him one-on-one right here.
After a few minutes of being chased, Yang Bo felt he had reached the right place. Exiting the maintenance hatch, he quickly sprinted forward. However, in the very next second, a figure flashed behind him, and Yang Bo quickly dodged to the side.
“Hahaha!” The Pirate Leader didn’t actually want to kill Yang Bo. He had many doubts in his heart. If the superpower Yang Bo displayed truly allowed him to control mechas at will, then the deaths of a few of his pirate brothers didn’t matter. It was all for the development of the pirate gang anyway!
“What are you laughing at? Are you out of your fucking mind?” Yang Bo was currently wearing a work uniform, and he spoke in a middle-aged man’s voice. An energy weapon even appeared in his hand. This was also why Yang Bo wasn’t afraid of his voice being exposed—his disguise altered his vocal cords and everything else, naturally making his voice sound like someone else’s!
“Nice to meet you. I am the commander of the Silver Moon Pirates, and I am very interested in Mr. Ma’s superpower. Judging from the intel, Mr. Ma is just an ordinary gardener. I never expected this gardener to be able to control other people’s mechas and even possess an energy weapon. If I’m not mistaken, there’s energy armor beneath Mr. Ma’s work uniform?” The Pirate Leader stood thirty meters away, looking at Yang Bo with a smile. At this distance, the Pirate Leader was a hundred percent certain he could inflict lethal damage on Yang Bo in an instant!
“How do you know about me?” Yang Bo asked, his voice laced with panic.
“Because we have the data on everyone aboard the Baisha transport ship. I also know you have a daughter, a son, and a wife. I’ll ask you one more time: what is your superpower? If you don’t tell me, I’ll break your arms and legs first, lock you up, and then bring your son, daughter, and wife right in front of you.
“If you refuse to speak, I’ll kill one of them. If you still refuse, I’ll kill the second. I will keep going until you talk. If you absolutely refuse to the bitter end, I will implant a slave chip into your brain. This is the latest development from the Water Blue Empire. Once implanted with this chip, you won’t be able to disobey any command from me, your master!” The energy weapon in the Pirate Leader’s hand gave off a faint fluorescent glow. The chilling words, spoken with a smile, were enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine!
Hearing this, Yang Bo gained another piece of knowledge. The Water Blue Empire actually still had slaves and had even developed a slave chip?
He had never heard of this before. As he thought about it, he said coldly, “Are you dreaming? We haven’t even fought yet, and you expect me to tell you what my superpower is? If you have what it takes, come and try me!”
“Hahahahaha, a little fry like you dares to talk big here? I am an A-class superpower user.” The Pirate Leader burst into laughter upon hearing this.
The next second, the energy armor on Yang Bo’s body released a brilliant light, and he charged toward the Pirate Leader like a bolt of lightning.
The Pirate Leader was quite surprised. The energy fluctuations coming from this guy were not small! His body flashed, and he dodged out of the way, wanting to see what Yang Bo was capable of.
But in the next second, Yang Bo ignored him and darted directly into another cabin. The Pirate Leader froze for a moment, then instantly rushed forward in pursuit. And in the very next second, the Pirate Leader flew backward at an even faster speed.
The energy armor on his body shattered, and his whole figure caved into the bulkhead of the Baisha transport ship. He stared in disbelief at the mecha that had appeared before his eyes. The mecha was a model he had never seen before. While it couldn’t be called tall and mighty, its overall design was incredibly sleek. This mecha was holding a glowing cold weapon, and it was this very cold weapon that had viciously swatted his body just a moment ago.
Just moments ago, the Pirate Leader had rushed into the adjacent cabin. The moment he shot out from the lower passage, he was brutally swatted by this cold weapon. This very mecha had been hovering right above the passage exit.
In truth, the Pirate Leader also had his own energy armor for protection, which relied mainly on energy. Unfortunately, the energy of the mecha’s energy weapon was far stronger. Coupled with the tremendous power behind the massive weapon, the Pirate Leader’s battle armor shattered instantly!
Of course, he had also been careless. It was like reaching into the water to catch a fish, only to grab a venomous snake—you usually realize your mistake the moment you feel its scaly pattern. The Pirate Leader had essentially opened a blind box, hadn’t he? When you’re fishing by hand and feel something rough and scaly instead of a slippery fish, you should immediately pull your hand back, because you’ve grabbed a snake.
“A custom mecha!” the Pirate Leader gasped, staring at the bizarre mecha. He tried to stand up, but coughed up a mouthful of blood and slumped limply to the floor.
Because he had been swatted by the flat side of the opponent’s mecha’s cold weapon, he hadn’t died on the spot. If he had been slashed by its edge, he would have absolutely been split in two.
But that was a mecha—a mecha weighing over a hundred tons—equipped with a mecha energy weapon! What kind of lunatic would equip a mecha with an energy weapon?
The Pirate Leader thought Yang Bo had hidden the mecha here in ambush beforehand. The main reason was that the mecha’s appearance had changed, and the appearance of its energy weapon had also been altered. Otherwise, he would have immediately recognized it as the mecha from the Red Earl incident.
This was exactly Yang Bo’s plan: take the Pirate Leader for a spin, then feign a desperate last stand. He had taken a gamble, fearing the Pirate Leader might actually engage him in direct combat. Instead, using the shielding between the two cabins, he went straight into the adjacent room, released his mecha, and left it hovering right above the passage exit.
It wasn’t that Yang Bo didn’t want to cleave the man to death with a single strike, but rather that swatting him with the broad side of the energy weapon offered a higher probability of landing a solid hit. If he had slashed, the opponent might have managed to dodge and escape.
“I… ?” The Pirate Leader tried to say something else, but in the next second, the mecha leaped down and crushed his body beneath its foot.
“Villains need to be killed off first. Listening to villains blabber on usually doesn’t end well!” Yang Bo had no intention of listening to his nonsense.
