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

Franky!?

This wasn't the first time that Zhan Taomaru had heard this name. It had the same name as the shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates. Was it just a coincidence?

The metal giant that suddenly transformed from the Sea Train is even taller than Soundwave, with a height of over 20 meters. It is a non-Titan-class Transformer and a rare giant.

It is hard to associate such a red metal giant with Franky's human image.

Zhan Taowan couldn't imagine how the cyborgs, who were carbon-based creatures half a year ago, could transform into silicon-based life forms. This level of technology was not even possessed by Egghead Island.

"Soundwave, spare his life. Zhan Taomaru has a good relationship with Vegapunk, so he is still useful." The electronic sound of the red metal giant sounded more like a human, or more like the voice of the human Franky.

"Okay, if you and I join forces, there's no need for other Transformers to join the battle." Soundwave threw the human in his hand to Franky, and a visible line of blood flashed in the air.

Franky supported Zhan Taomaru's body with the gentlest movements, and then placed the human on his shoulder, "Don't be surprised, I was once a human too."

Zhan Taomaru sat on the shoulder of the red metal giant, recovered a little strength, grabbed the exposed metal shell with both hands, and barely stabilized his body.

"You're a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, the shipwright who repairs the ship"? !

Franky's transformation made Zhan Taomaru a little bit unbelievable. His ears could hear the sound of engines or gears turning from time to time, and there was a faint smell of oil around the Transformers.

If other members of the Straw Hat Pirates met Franky in his current state, they would definitely not recognize him at first glance. The former cyborg shipbuilder has no flesh or blood left from head to toe.

As for the dead government agents, although Franky didn't say anything in his heart, his attitude said it all. It was good that those CP9 guys in black suits died!

Franky will never forget that his group of brothers died in the massacre of CP9. If they meet Lucci's team again in the same state they are in today, the red metal giant will crush them until not even a bone is left.

The Transformer who calls himself Soundwave is completely unable to communicate. Zhan Taomaru believes that Franky in front of him, as a former human, should be able to understand human language.

"You come to capture Vegapunk. Based on my understanding of his character, he will not go with you obediently." Although Zhan Taomaru didn't know what was in Vegapunk's mind, he knew that the person he was protecting was a person who would only respond to soft words and not to hard ones.

Vegapunk is closely protected by the Knights of God, and Zhan Taomaru doesn't know whether the old man can defeat the two metal giants.

While Zhan Taowan was thinking about countermeasures, he tore open his bellyband into strips of cloth and tied up the wounds on his body to reduce the blood flow.

He was wondering where these metal giants came from. They did not belong to any pirate group. They came to capture Vegapunk for the wisdom of his big head or for those unrealized technological products.

"When I was a human, I admired Vegapunk very much. Now as a Transformer, I still do. Eggman Island is too small to contain his wisdom." Franky has heard of Vegapunk's name since he was a child. As the smartest scientist in the world, it is a pity that he is controlled by the gods.

"I hope there's some decent resistance in the experimental area. I finally get out here, so don't let me get bored," Soundwave said, and then he walked deeper into Egghead Island, heading towards the core experimental floor.

Eggman Island was restored to power through temporary power supply, maintaining the obstacle avoidance protection layer in this area. It was not worth mentioning to the Transformers and was more like a cage for humans.

The core research area, like a beating heart with its hard shell peeled off, is now exposed in front of two god-like metal giants.

The once layered alloy protective walls had been reduced to smithereens in the devastating battle just now, leaving only twisted metal frames and exposed cables flashing with dangerous sparks.

The iconic huge spherical structure of the research floor was now like a fragile glass toy, trembling under the shadow of the two uninvited guests.

The azure sound waves and the crimson Franky, one on the left and one on the right, were like two towering mountains, blocking all the passages to the research floor.

Soundwave took the lead, and the armor plates on his forearms instantly slid open and reorganized, transforming into a ferocious-looking hand cannon glowing with a faint blue energy sheen.

The muzzle of the gun was not aimed directly at the research floor, but was pointed at a more oppressive angle at the building outside the research floor.

A cold, toneless electronic synthesized voice, like an icicle striking everyone's heart, clearly spread throughout the silent research area:

"Humans in the circle, you have one minute."

"Come out of your shells and surrender unconditionally"

"There will be a price to pay for refusal or delay." As the words were spoken, a heart-pounding white light suddenly lit up from deep within the muzzle of the hand cannon. It then rapidly spun and expanded like a whirlpool, emitting a low but destructive hum.

The air around the metal giant began to distort due to the terrifying gathering of energy, and visible energy arcs jumped at the muzzle.

The threat is naked and direct. It doesn't even bother to target the core areas directly, because the purpose of this shot is not a precise strike, but a demonstration and forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Anyone could sense the level of energy stored in the muzzle, and once fired, it would be enough to melt through the research layer in an instant like a hot knife through butter.

The most core secrets inside and all the resisting lives are transformed into elementary particles.

Inside the research floor, piercing red alarm lights flashed wildly, making every pale face look like a ghost. The technicians huddled behind the control consoles, their bodies shaking uncontrollably with fear.

Through the huge observation window, they could see the blue Grim Reaper and the increasingly dazzling energy ball at its muzzle, which represented absolute destruction.

Time seemed to be stretched and compressed at the same time, and every second felt like a century.

On the two ends of the scale, on one side is the unknown (but most likely tragic) fate after surrender, and on the other side is immediate and complete destruction.

The humans in the research layer are standing on the edge of the cliff drawn by the muzzle. Most of them have no choice, and only Vegapunk is qualified to make a choice.

"Sonic, Franky, Transformers, why are they getting together?" Saint Somaz began to smash everything nearby in anger. As Vegapunk's bodyguard, he also felt the great crisis of life and death.

As the target of the Transformers, Vegapunk looked at the two metal giants on the observation screen with appreciation.

This is the first time in Vegapunk's life that he has seen such perfect silicon-based life forms. They are definitely not creations of this world, and they have a heavy metal punk aesthetic that is not found in the pirate world.

Transformers must be aliens
