The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

"Too weak, the human body is so fragile..."

The outer buildings of Egghead Island no longer exist. The light and shadow buildings that once represented future technology have now turned into ruins filled with smoke and fire.

The charred earth was exposed, the broken reinforced concrete was twisted and pointed towards the gloomy sky, and the remaining building skeleton groaned under the heavy burden in the flames.

And in the center of this man-made hell stands an even more terrifying existence, a Transformer covered in azure armor.

It was so tall, like a moving metal mountain, and the shadow it cast swallowed the entire battlefield.

The cold metal lines reflected a faint light in the firelight, and the optical glasses scanned the destruction beneath their feet without emotion, as if admiring their own masterpiece.

At its feet was an even more tragic scene: the shattered remains of weapons and unrecognizable human limbs.

Dark red marks were smeared wantonly on the scorched earth, telling of the cruelty and swiftness of the crushing battle just now.

At this moment, the huge metal palm of this steel giant is holding the last person outside Egghead Island - Zhan Taomaru, with a seemingly easy but actually irresistible force.

The former security captain of the scientific defense force was now like a broken rag doll, hanging in mid-air.

His fat body drooped limply, his bright clothes were badly torn, and the most shocking thing was his head, with blood constantly flowing from his forehead.

It flowed across his furrowed brows, slid across his bloodless cheeks, and finally dripped onto the metal fingers below, leaving behind small, quickly drying dark red dots.

The severe pain and blood loss made Zhan Taowan's consciousness blurred. In his sight, the giant blue metal arm, the burning ruins in the distance, and the black smoke in the sky were all twisted and swirling, interweaving into a chaotic light and shadow.

There was a constant buzzing in his ears, almost drowning out the crackling of the flames. He tried to gather his strength and break free from the restraints, but his body was too heavy to move, and every breath brought pain all over his body.

"Damn it... Vegapunk can't protect you..." He squeezed out a weak voice from between his teeth and tried to look up and look directly at the cold optical glasses, but his eyelids felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Soundwave, the King Kong, lowered his head slightly, and his expressionless metal face "looked" at the tiny life form in his palm.

It didn't require any effort, or even deliberateness, just a gentle closing of the giant fingers, accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking.

The Vegapunk security captain would instantly turn into blood, without even a few intact bones left.

Absolute violence was presented in the quietest and most overwhelming way. The boundary between life and death was as thin as Zhan Taowan's weak breathing at this moment.

The metal fingers seemed to move slightly and adjusted their grip. Just this slight movement caused a squeezing sensation that made Zhan Taowan groan, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The shadow of death was like ice water, instantly soaking his hazy consciousness and bringing a cruel clarity. He saw the Shura field beneath his feet and the last traces left by those government agents.

A huge feeling of anger and powerlessness gripped him, but more than that, it was a chill that penetrated deep into his bones. In the face of this absolute power gap, the little defense provided by the Armament Haki seemed so ridiculous.

In the eyes of Transformers, humans are just bigger ants. Soundwave's electronic voice without any emotion pronounces Zhan Taomaru's death sentence: "Vegapunk gave up on you. If he didn't come out to save you, there was no need for him to keep you."

"Uncle Kizaru... Vegapunk...", Zhan Taomaru recalled the two people who were most important to him. Without them appearing in his life, Zhan Taomaru would still be a hungry child.

Just as the cold metal fingers were about to close completely, the crisp sound of bones breaking was about to be heard.

Rumble——! ! !

A loud noise that tore through the heavens and the earth did not come from the god of death in front of him, but came violently from behind the azure giant, from the direction of the sea shrouded in smoke.

The sound approached like thunder, with unparalleled impact force. Even the huge body of the sound wave seemed to pause, and the ground beneath his feet could be clearly vibrated.

Zhan Taowan, whose consciousness had already become scattered and sunk into the abyss of darkness, was forcibly pulled back to a state of clarity by the huge roar.

With difficulty and extremely slowly, he turned his blurry and blood-stained gaze over the huge metal shoulder of Soundwave to the source of the sound.

Raging waves rolled on the sea, and a huge ship, its entire body as red as blood, was breaking through the waves with a resolute attitude. Its bow was like a red-hot blade, cutting through the chaotic sea water.

That wasn't just any ordinary ship, but... a ship? A train? Zhan Taowan's confused mind couldn't make an accurate judgment.

It was clearly the proud sea train of the Water City! But its frantic speed and the aura of its breaking through the sea far surpassed any other train he had ever known.

Just as the crimson train rushed onto the shore and rolled over the ruins, its body emitted a deafening metallic roar!

The huge front of the car suddenly rose up like the head of a giant dragon, and the carriages that followed closely behind began a series of incredible folding, rotations, and displacements amid the dazzling sounds of mechanical transmission!

Steel twisted and deformed, complex hydraulic systems hissed, and huge bearings clenched with a clanging sound.

It is not being destroyed, but is actively and rapidly reorganizing itself!

In the reflection of Zhan Taomaru's pupils, which were dilated due to shock and weakness, the crimson train was disappearing, replaced by a silhouette that was rising rapidly from the ground.

The wheels turned into solid feet, and the carriage plates were covered and spliced ​​together to form a sturdy torso and limbs. The front part sat firmly on the shoulders with a clanging sound, forming a majestic head.

Steam and energy radiance gushed out from the joints like the breath of new life.

In just a few seconds, a brand new crimson metal giant, no less massive than Sound Wave, stood majestically above the ruins like a war god born from flames and steel!

It is flowing with fiery red all over, and its lines are strong and powerful, forming an extremely strong contrast with the cold and strange blue of the sound waves.

The red giant stood firm, and its "eyes" that were like burning flames might be a sharper and more lifelike optical lens.

He instantly locked onto the sound wave and the dying Zhan Taowan in his hands.

The feeling of oppression suddenly changed. What was an absolute and hopeless dead end just now, now, due to the intrusion of the red giant, it instantly turned into a precarious balance of confrontation between the two gods.

"Franky, you have thoughts about humans. He is someone you knew in your previous life"?

Soundwave's always indifferent optical lens seemed to turn slightly, shifting its main "attention" away from the insignificant creature in its palm.

Zhan Taomaru was hanging on the line between life and death, his blurry vision oscillating between the cold blue and the fiery red.

He couldn't understand all this, but there was one thing Zhan Taowan could understand, that he wouldn't die for the time being.
