Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 22 The Steam Robot Completes the Double Kill

"Apologize to you? You think you can just slap on a metal shell? I won't listen to you! I'll tear you apart!"

Quinn still didn't take the robot's threats to heart. Due to its body structure, Blitz moved somewhat comically when overloaded, and its bulky size didn't seem very threatening.

Facing the charging robot, Quinn bent his knees, gathered his strength, and jumped into the air. He held the knife above his head and slashed at Blitzcrank's neck.

"How could the design leave such a weak point? What's there to say about such a blatant design flaw!"

Compared to Blitzcrank's bulky body, his neck was indeed much thinner, but Blitzcrank's response was very simple. A little steam dissipated from his body, and Blitzcrank's neck shrank back, directly hiding in the metal neck guard.

Clang!

The blade struck Blitzcrank's body, but only chipped off some paint; Blitzcrank himself was unharmed, while Quinn's hands were numb from the impact.

Judge and Queen in the original timeline were not weak after they grew up. In the new world, they were not top monsters, but they were still considered high-end combatants. However, they have not reached that level yet.

Both their technical skills and their combat abilities are still in their early stages.

Kuma contributed a lot to the creation of Blitz. In the absence of stamping machines and other equipment, the Paw Paw Fruit became the most useful tool, as it was convenient for both compression and purification.

The main body of Blitzcrank is made of such a special alloy, which has a relatively ideal average value in terms of hardness, strength, ductility and toughness, and at the same time has strong corrosion resistance.

Even a swordsman who has mastered the ability to cut through iron can't gain much advantage against Blitzcrank, whose entire body is made of special metal.

It can't even cut iron, let alone do anything about it.

"Metal is harder than flesh and blood."

Bang!

Blitzcrank's charged fist slammed into Quinn's stomach, sending him flying higher into the sky. Quinn then performed a graceful freefall before landing in a nearby stream.

Blitz's current aim was still to teach them a lesson and make them apologize, so his punches weren't very powerful. As a result, it wasn't long before Quinn crawled out, hunched over and soaking wet.

"Hahaha, Quinn, you look quite pathetic. Is this the powerful body you always flaunt? It's nothing special to me."

"What are you laughing at? Come and help!"

"Why should I help you with this mess you created?"

Judge made it clear that he had no intention of getting involved. At this moment, Judge seemed to have forgotten that he had echoed Queen's narcissistic boasting about his abilities earlier.

Humans might be able to see that Judge was just going through the motions, but Blitzcrank was different. The still-growing Blitzcrank had already categorized Judge and Queen as the same kind of people.

Whoosh!

While Judge was still mocking Queen for being humiliated, the mechanical claw had already reached for him.

"Hey! How did you even determine the enemy?! It has nothing to do with me!"

This explanation was clearly useless. Blitz turned his upper body and flung Judge towards Quinn, causing Quinn, who had just climbed out of the stream, to fall back down.

It's just that Queen hasn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet; otherwise, he would probably have sunk to the bottom by now.

"Damn it, I'm not that piece of trash Quinn. I'll show you what I'm made of!"

Judge pulled out something resembling a gun barrel from his body, attached it to the front of his musket, took a quick aim, and fired it towards Blitz.

Blitzcrank's still-unrecoverable mechanical claw caught the object Judge had launched in mid-air, but Judge wore a smug smile. Suddenly, the arrow exploded, and a powerful electric current traveled along Blitzcrank's arm into his body.

"Just lie there, you stupid metal shell!"

That was the stun gun that Judge was researching. He wanted to use a strong current to short-circuit and paralyze Blitz. With a burst of intense electric light, Blitz's movements gradually slowed down.

"See, Quinn? This is the right thing to do. You idiot, you actually fought a robot hand-to-hand? I really don't know what you were thinking."

"Sorry, little cat, we broke your robot. How about we fix it for you later?"

It wasn't that Judge had any sense of responsibility; rather, he was very curious about the robot's internal structure and wanted to see for himself what Blitz looked like inside. However, Judge saw a look of pity in Kate's eyes.

"Meow thinks you'd better run away now."

Kate followed Oran and witnessed Blitzcrank's birth, learning that Blitzcrank experiences a brief period of inertia after overload, during which his movements become slower.

Don't be fooled by the electric currents surrounding Blitzcrank, which make him look like he's short-circuited. This has nothing to do with Judge's attack; the current actually comes from the energy core within Blitzcrank's body.

Judge's electric blast failed to stop Blitz; instead, it activated its combat stance.

The next moment, Blitzcrank went berserk, swinging his electric fists and rushing toward the two at an even faster speed.

"Judge! You idiot! Look what you've done!"

"Wasn't it all started by you, you bastard! What right do you have to talk to me like that!"

It's sizzling!

As Blitzcrank approached them, the electricity emanating from him began to spread. Having witnessed the trouble Blitzcrank was causing, they gave up on a head-on confrontation and turned to dodge his attacks. However, the flying mechanical claws and the spreading electricity made them cry out in agony.

"Quinn! Apologize to it right now! Make that metal thing stop!!"

"I don't want to! What about my pride then!"

"If you don't apologize, you should start thinking about where our lives are going!"

Under the midday sun, Blitz chased after the two people in front of him, constantly lecturing them.

Although Quinn gave in after persisting for a while, it seemed too late; Blitz's goal appeared to have shifted from getting an apology to simply teaching them a lesson.

"Orlan, Blitz's got a problem here. He's beating up two guys who came off a ship called MADS, because before..."

Should we stop Blitz?

Kate dialed Oran's Den Den Mushi, described the situation, and asked what to do next.

According to her judgment, these two people were not yet considered villains and there was no need to kill them directly. However, she was also very unhappy with Oran's disdainful tone, so she did not interfere with Blitz's actions.

After all, Blitzcrank hasn't activated his annihilation mode yet, so there shouldn't be any casualties.

"MADS? Looks like one of your men. Is there anything you want to say?"

Oran didn't give Kate an answer right away. Instead, he looked at the tall man in front of him, a man whose head was almost the size of his body.
