Chapter 27 Space Pirates Attack
West Capital, entrance to the spaceship's gangway.
Dr. Brief, pulling Rhodes along as he was about to leave, looked at him expectantly: "Rhodes, when you come back, remember to bring me lots of technological information from outer space, especially about mechanics!"
"I won't let you down, Doctor!"
Rhodes readily agreed with a smile, given that Dr. Brief had been a great help; after all, it was just a matter of spending a little more time on him.
Those present, besides Dr. Brief, included little Bulma and her mother. Mrs. Brief smiled and said to Rhodes, "Little brother, be careful outside!"
Hearing Mrs. Brief's words and seeing her radiant smile, Rod smiled as usual and nodded, "Thank you, Madam!"
As she spoke, her gaze fell on little Bulma, who was following beside her, her face and eyes filled with unhappiness: "Little one, be good!"
"Hmph! You bad guy!"
Seeing that Rhodes not only wouldn't take her on the adventure but was also teasing her like this, Bulma gave a huff, tilted her head to one side, and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
"Rhodes, let's go!"
While Rhodes stood at the gangway entrance saying goodbye to Dr. Brief and the others, Ella had already boarded the spaceship. Seeing Rhodes wasting time, she urged him on.
Ignoring Ella's urging, Rod waved to the others, then reached out and ruffled Bulma's twin braids before laughing and walking into the spaceship amidst her playful antics.
boom!
The gangway rose, the spacecraft hatch closed, and then, under the watchful eyes of the Briff family, it rapidly ascended into the air, soon passing through the atmosphere and entering space.
"To be so young and already exploring space, that's truly remarkable!"
As Mrs. Brief watched the spaceship gradually disappear from sight, she looked somewhat sentimental, and her words carried a hint of worry.
"Although they are young, they are incredibly powerful, and even the dangers that exist in the universe are unlikely to threaten them."
Compared to Bulma, Dr. Brief, who helped create the gravity chamber and is a top scientist, understands Rhodes and his companion better and is more aware of their power.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to worry.
Speaking of Rhodes and his companion's journey, Dr. Brief couldn't help but think of his eldest daughter, turning his gaze to Bulma: "By the way, Tais has been gone for so long, where is she now? Is she in any danger?"
"It's amazing you still remember Tais!"
Upon hearing Dr. Brief mention his eldest daughter, Bulma's mother began to complain about her with obvious displeasure.
However, Tais had been away writing her novel for a long time, and Dr. Brief, as her father, had not paid any attention to it. It was Mrs. Brief who had been in contact with her and keeping track of everything.
Despite her complaints, Mrs. Brief reported on Tais's recent situation: "She's not in any danger. She's traveling in a city to the east, gathering material, but I don't know when she'll be back!"
When Taiss was mentioned, a look of worry flashed across Mrs. Brief's refined face.
Tais was not yet sixteen years old and was traveling alone, so even Mrs. Brieve, who was usually very easygoing, couldn't help but worry.
"Don't overthink it, just stay in touch. Tais has her own life to live!"
Compared to Mrs. Brief's worries, Dr. Brief was much more easygoing and didn't care much.
Little Bulma, who was listening to the conversation between the two while tilting her head up, looked around with her big eyes, missing her admirable older sister!
When I grow up a bit more, I want to go on adventures like my sister!
Young Bulma harbored a grand wish.
Regardless of what happened to Dr. Brief's family on Earth, Rhodes and Ella had already boarded a spaceship and left the solar system, entering the boundless and dark universe.
Their spaceship was very fast, and it would only take a few days to travel from Earth to Namek.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
After the spaceship entered autopilot mode, the gravity multiplier was adjusted to sixty. At this time, Rhode and Ella were carrying out their daily training.
Even though Rhode's combat power has reached over 30,000 and Ella's has exceeded 20,000, being under 60 times gravity is not easy, and they need to gradually adapt.
"Rhode, I've heard that there are people on Namek with a fighting power exceeding ten thousand. Is that true?"
During her daily training, Ella was filled with anticipation for her upcoming destination and for the battles against the experts on Namek.
The people on Earth were too weak to inspire her fighting spirit. Apart from them, only Rhodes could be her opponent, but Ella was no match for him.
Therefore, Ella, whose power had increased, had long been eager to find an opponent for a good fight.
Faced with Ella's question, Rod, thinking of the strength of the combat-type Namekians, gave her a meaningful look and agreed with her: "That's true!"
"That's great!"
Ella was greatly encouraged by Rhodes's affirmation, and even trained harder: "This way, we can finally have a real battle when we arrive on Namek!"
We're not going to be villains!
Hearing Ella's villainous rhetoric, Rhodes was speechless for a moment. He wanted to remind her not to be careless, but the words remained unspoken.
Although Ella was defeated by herself once, it was obvious that she was still arrogant and thought she could easily beat anyone except herself.
Since that's the case, it's good to let her suffer a loss, so she won't become too arrogant, otherwise she'll crash and burn sooner or later.
boom!
Just as the two were training, the spaceship suddenly shook violently, and a loud tremor was heard.
What happened?
This anomaly puzzled Rhodes, but then he frowned as several unusually evil and powerful energies appeared at the edge of his perception range, approaching at an extremely fast speed.
"Enemy attack! Stay alert!"
Upon sensing the situation, Rhode warned Ella while simultaneously restoring the gravity on the spaceship to normal.
After doing all this, it opened the hatch, flew out, and clung to the spaceship, looking in the direction from which those evil auras came.
However, because Rhodes's visual range was far less than his perception of Qi, all he could see was a dark cosmic space shimmering with starlight.
At this moment, the spaceship was traveling at high speed in deep space, surrounded by vast emptiness, and the spaceship of the owners of those evil auras was nowhere to be seen.
boom!
Just then, Rhodes suddenly sensed a threat and instinctively raised his hand to block it—a high-energy beam of light!
Is this how you play it?
Seeing that the attack was a high-energy beam of light and sensing the rapidly approaching evil aura, Rhode was extremely displeased.
Just as Rhode was pondering how to deal with his opponent, Ella inside the spaceship also sensed the other party's presence. Looking at the records on the spaceship's navigation map, she solemnly used her aura to transmit a message to Rhode outside: "Rhode, it's a space pirate, and a very powerful one at that!"
