Universe 11 is a universe that has already been unified, with a united organization similar to Universe 7’s Galactic Federation controlling the entire universe.
However, under this unity, the fact that criminal organizations are rampant throughout the universe is undeniable.
Therefore, in Universe 11, dealing with these criminal organizations is one of the main tasks of the Pride Troopers.
Lin Chen and Lazuli had witnessed similar incidents multiple times since arriving here a month ago.
But this robbery happening to them was a first.
No wonder Lazuli was so excited.
Just then, a loud explosion was heard ahead, followed by a dozen or so space pirates wearing turbans barging in with various energy weapons, shouting threats as they entered.
“Come out, all of you! We are the Mighty Pirates! Those who know what’s good for them, come out! We only want money, not lives!”
These space pirates started checking the facilities one by one, dragging people out and herding them to the side.
Soon, they reached Lin Chen and Lazuli.
The dark barrels of guns were aimed at them, ready to fire at any moment.
“Hey, you two! If you know what’s good for you, hand over all your valuables.”
A fierce pirate spat out a mouthful of saliva, glaring viciously at the two.
Lazuli joyfully said to Lin Chen, “Lin Chen, look, it’s just like on TV.”
“Boss, these two don’t seem afraid of us?”
A pirate remarked in surprise.
Seeming to be the leader, the man slammed his hand onto the other pirate’s head, his face fierce. “This little girl must be crazy. There is no need to be polite, kill her! Don’t forget, our time is limited. If the Pride Troopers show up, it’s over!”
“Yes.”
With the boss’ command, the pirate who had just been hit immediately aimed his gun at Lazuli and pulled the trigger.
A beam of energy shot out and hit Lazuli in the head.
“Huh?”
The pirate stared at Lazuli in disbelief, realizing that she hadn’t fallen down?
How is that possible?
The weapons they used were official military-grade weapons, with great power and caliber. How could it not kill a little girl?
“You idiot, did you miss? Aim properly and shoot!”
The pirate boss, seeing that his subordinate’s shot didn’t take down Lazuli, became angry.
There were passengers around, and if they thought he was weak, the situation might spiral out of control!
Setting an example to deter others, the pirate boss himself stepped forward, pressing the gun barrel against Lazuli’s forehead.
He pulled the trigger.
The energy beam hit Lazuli’s forehead again.
But Lazuli’s current Power Level was in the billions.
This wasn’t Dragon Ball Super, where even characters like Goku could be knocked down by a laser gun.
Simple energy weapons couldn’t even damage Lazuli’s skin.
Lazuli’s eyes narrowed, her voice cold. “Are you done shooting?”
“Boss! This woman isn’t afraid of guns!”
After confirming what was going on, the pirates couldn’t help but scream.
“Don’t be afraid!”
The pirate boss snapped his energy gun in half and then clenched his fist. “I didn’t expect to encounter a martial artist. My apologies, I am Captain Vekuri of the Mighty Pirates with a bounty of 30 million Berries!”
“Running into me means it’s your unlucky day!”
With that, the pirate boss unleashed an aura that seemed terrifying to bystanders.
The aura was so intense that some passengers’ legs went weak.
However, to Lin Chen and Lazuli, the aura released by the boss was nothing but a gentle spring breeze.
“Watch out, woman! Your end is near!”
The pirate boss shouted and threw a punch at Lazuli.
Seeing that she was about to hit, Lin Chen suddenly yelled, “Lazuli, be careful, don’t damage the ship!”
“Huh?” The pirate boss paused for a moment, then felt a great force, sending him flying straight up to the ceiling.
Although he didn’t break through the ceiling, he ended up embedded in it.
Lazuli clapped her hands and then turned to look at the remaining people.
“Who’s next!”
…
Shortly after, a single-person high-speed spacecraft from the Pride Troopers approached the interstellar flight.
A figure jumped out of the spacecraft, breaking through the flight’s hull and forcefully entering inside.
“Don’t move! I’m Kettle from the Pride Troopers! Pirates of the Mighty Pirates, drop your weapons and surrender!”
After Kettle finished a long string of nonsense, he realized there were no pirates around.
There were only some passengers strolling around and some crew members repairing the ship with tools.
They stared wide-eyed, looking puzzled at the sudden intrusion of Kettle.
After a moment, Kettle finally understood that the Mighty Pirates had already been taken care of.
And the person who dealt with the entire pirate crew turned out to be a female passenger on the ship!
A female passenger?
Upon hearing this news, Kettle became excited.
He began to wonder if it was possible to invite this lady, who could handle a pirate crew alone, to join the Pride Troopers?
After all, out of ten members of the Pride Troopers, there was only one female member.
The gender imbalance was quite evident.
However, when he asked the crew to introduce this female passenger, Kettle was dumbfounded.
Because he happened to know this female passenger, wasn’t she the female warrior of Universe 7 who amazed everyone in the Tournament of Power with her astonishing skills?
And the one smiling and drinking tea with the captain beside her, he wouldn’t forget either.
“Lin, Lin Chen!”
“Huh? You’re from the Pride Troopers… who again?”
Beside him, the captain of the flight stood up and said, “Mr. Lin Chen, this is Mr. Kettle from the Pride Troopers!”
The Pride Troopers were idols of Universe 11, and each member’s name was well-known throughout the universe.
However, in Lin Chen’s eyes, apart from Toppo and Jiren, the other members of the Pride Troopers were not worth mentioning.
Shortly after, the repaired interstellar flight finally arrived at its destination planet, the headquarters of the Pride Troopers.
And Lin Chen and Lazuli’s honeymoon trip was also coming to an end.
Next, Lin Chen was going to fulfill another main purpose of his trip to Universe 11.
At the headquarters of the Pride Troopers, Lin Chen met with Jiren, who had rushed there upon hearing the news, and also revealed his purpose.
“You want to know about my master’s situation back then?” Jiren frowned. “Lin Chen, why are you asking about this? Aren’t you clear about this matter?”
“After all, back then, you were also there on the scene!”
Although Jiren felt a sense of mutual respect for Lin Chen because of the Tournament of Power, this does not mean that the knot in Jiren’s heart has been solved.
After all, why Lin Chen appeared at the scene of his master’s death and even intervened to stop Jiren from pursuing the culprit, Jiren still didn’t have an answer to this question.
