"Fool, you're on the wrong track! ～”

Pulling his brother away, Thomas Jr. hurriedly activated the main cannon charging system.

With a shrill hum, the Beetle-1's power furnace began to overload its cannon with rapid recharge.

"How could I be off, I'm obviously aiming very accurately......" Big Thomas tapped his skull in annoyance, this time the miss obviously made him extremely guilty.

"Huh?"

Just as little Thomas was hurrying to fire the second gun, a crew member with messy hair suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, pointed to the 100,000-ton transport ship that had completely escaped from the white hole, and shouted: "Look, its engine seems to be broken, this big guy can't move!" ～”

“……”

After a brief silence, these down-and-out interstellar pirates erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

In fact, this was the result of a crooked attack, because even if their 460mm main gun hit the bow of the transport, it would not be possible for the big guy to lose power so quickly. The reason for the current results is that when the white hole is open, it will naturally release some negative energy in the four-dimensional space. Under normal circumstances, these negative energies will dissipate quickly, but it just so happened that at this time, the Great Thomas fired a plasma bomb, which caused the positive and negative energies to attract and collide with each other to produce an energy storm similar to energy turbulence. It is precisely for this reason that the engines of the transport ship running at full load have suffered destructive damage.

Now, with the loss of power, the 100,000-ton transport ship emitted black smoke and silently stopped like a wounded giant beast, "Send a communication to that ship, Lao Tzu wants to board the ship!" ~ If you dare to refuse, sink it! ~" The re-energized Great Thomas shouted arrogantly, not realizing at all that his ridiculous main gun was not capable of blasting through the opponent's solid deck.

However, this group of crazy interstellar pirates apparently doesn't think so. They used loud and foul language to intimidate in their communications, and demonstratively pulled out rusty knives in order to make themselves look more ferocious.

'Tick! ～’

As the pirates danced in the middle of the communication as if for show, the ship's radar suddenly showed that a ship was approaching at full speed, and separated four points of light, rushing towards them at great speed.

"Captain, something's coming! ～”

The first radarman to realize the danger began to scream in terror, and in the scream that pierced his eardrums, the crew members who had been screaming wildly immediately became quiet, and their hideous faces were gradually replaced by horror.

"It must be the Space Patrol, start the engines and run! ~" The panicked Great Thomas hurriedly rushed to the driver's seat, and the crew members who had been gathered together also dispersed to everyone.

"Come on...... It's too late......"

The radarman closed his eyes palely, and at this time, four J-9 space shuttles shaped like sharp swords swept past the ship like meteors, and at the same time, a huge armed transport ship broke through the sky, and the missile launch bay that had been opened was like the eyes of a demon, staring at the poor little beetle.

"What should I do?" Little Thomas had a gun in his hand, his lips trembling and he shouted: "Fuck, they have missiles, we can't run......"

"Not a Space Patrol, damn it! ~Who are they? Big Thomas stared at the strange armed transport, his eyes red, and he couldn't accept that something would happen to him when he was about to get his hands on it.

"Maybe it's some other pirate, or ...... Let's get in touch with them, for example...... Give them half of it? Since the incoming ship was not marked with a warning badge, little Thomas could not help but think so.

"Half? You idiot, do they look like they want half of this? Big Thomas glared at his brother viciously and sighed: "Send a message to each other, tell them to let us go, and the prey can be given to them all." ”

Glancing at each other helplessly, the disheartened pirates could only do as Grand Thomas said. Although they were very unwilling, the strength shown by the other party was irresistible to them, and in this case, it was a great luck to be able to save their lives.

However, their hope for survival was ruthlessly shattered by an indifferent fellow. They completely rejected their requests, and were clearly told that they must turn off the power furnace within thirty seconds or else they would be attacked.

Meanwhile.

On the TR-1 ship, which is far opposite the Beetle-735 ship.

Robin held a cup of hot black tea and looked at the little beetle in front of him with a playful gaze.

"Huh...... It's really creative. A six-hundred-ton miniature ship was actually loaded with a 460 mm caliber infantry heavy gun, haha...... They actually damaged a 100,000-ton ship by them. I don't really know what to say. ”

"Those guys were shit lucky, and they had no idea what they were going to do. I can guarantee that if they dare to fire a second shot, their ridiculous army heavy artillery will blow up and blow them all into the western sky. ”

Artillery Sergeant Andy glanced at the other party with disdain, competing with an opponent of this level made him unable to lift his spirits at all.

Seeing the disdain in Andy's eyes, Robin smiled and shook his head: "No, they should regret not firing the second shot." They will soon learn that it is perhaps happier to die than to live. ”

Throwing away the paper cup in his hand, Robin got up and ordered: "Zhuo Luo and Li are responsible for boarding the ship, and the fighter formation will maintain the threat, and if an abnormal situation is found, it is allowed to be destroyed freely." ”

"Robin, the transport ship has sent a communication request to confirm our identity." At this time, Cecilia, who was in the captain's position, suddenly said to Robin.

Robin looked down and thought about it, and decided to meet with the other party: "Through their communication request." ”

Cecilia granted the other party's communication request, and after a blur of the ship's three-dimensional screen, a slightly panicked middle-aged man appeared on the screen.

"I'm York, President of Stanley Mining? Stanny, thank you very much for your help to us, please ......"

"Stanley Mining?" I heard that the other party is actually York, the former owner of the mining rights of Bruno Star Mining? Stanny, Robin couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I'm Robin from Roche Logistics. ”

"Roche Logistics ......" Obviously, York? Stanny has also heard about this rising business star, who has been in the limelight lately. After showing a shocked expression, he politely saluted: "I really didn't expect it to be you, I'm sorry, I thought it was some mercenary hired by the Space Police to save me." ”

"Huh...... Actually, you are not wrong to think so, because it was from Governor Blanton that I took over the job. "Robin to the screen York? Stanny smiled meaningfully: "I just bought the mining rights of Bruno, and I believe you should know that if you want to dig something out of that place, no one can't do it." ”

“……”

The meaning of Robin's words is clear, and it perfectly explains why he attacked the pirates. He is unassailable, both in terms of motives and legal mandate.

"I think I understand why you're successful, you're a business wizard with a unique idea. As a token of appreciation, I hope to have the opportunity to invite you to lunch, and I think we should have a lot to talk about. ”

Heard of York? Stanny's invitation, Robin smiled kindly: "I'll think about it when I have time......"

Before Robin could finish speaking, Zolo, who had taken full control of the pirates, sent a communication, signaling that the TR-735 could take over the pirate ship.

"I beg your pardon, I have to leave now. These dangerous people can't stay on my ship for long. ”

Politely cutting off communication with the other party, Robin asked Andrew, who was standing behind him, "Is the place of detention ready?" ”

"Yes, in the seventh cargo hold. The internal defenses have been strengthened there, which are completely comparable to the police escort pods. ”

"Very well, now it's time to go and meet our first captives."

…… Two weeks later, the Hermes Spaceport Space Police Station.

In the sheriff's office, which originally belonged to Arnold, Inspector Alfried, who was currently the chief of the Northern Star Field Police Station, looked at Robin who was invited with an embarrassed expression, and said helplessly: "Mr. Robin, your strong support for the police really makes me not know how to express it. In just two weeks, you've captured thirty-seven organized pirate rings, and to be honest, I'm glad I know how efficient it is. Can...... But what you did also caused the police to suffer a certain amount of criticism, after all, this should be the responsibility of the police, but now you are doing it for the police. ”

"What, you're saying I shouldn't have done that?" Robin, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his eyebrows: "But I remember that Governor Brandon asked me to deal with Bloody Harry." ”

"Yes, but this is a private agreement between the Governor and you. The Governor's original intention was for you to capture him in the Ultra Nebula Mine, but now, you are making a big show in the Northern Star Field, which makes the police's position quite awkward. Although your actions saved a large number of cargo ships, you can ...... But this shows the incompetence of the police. Now, the faction led by the House of Osveld has taken the opportunity to stir up disputes, accuse the police of abuse of power, and complain to the police about your overstepping authority. After all...... As a merchant, you do not have the right to arrest pirates. ”

"What do you mean...... Let me stupidly run to the Ultra Nebula and Bloody Harry desperately? Robin's face instantly turned cold, and he stood up and glared at Alfred: "I think you know better than me that this behavior is suicidal." I'm attacking those pirates because these marauding pirates have become the minions of the Bloody Harry, and it is by their raids that the Bloody Harry has been able to get supplies. So, as long as these pirates are cleared, then Bloody Harry will definitely have to leave his lair to fight me due to lack of resources. Rather than rushing into his hinterland recklessly, I think my plan will work better. ”

"But...... But please also consider the face of the police, after all, this is ......"

"You're asking me to die for the sake of the police's face?" Robin almost interrupted Everred's words with a snarl and sneered, "I think it's necessary for me to talk to Governor Brandon." ”

"Yes, I think it's necessary, too."

With this familiar voice, the door to the sheriff's office suddenly opened.
