Pirates on the Move

"Mm! A year in here equals a day outside—just like Earth's Hyperbolic Time Chamber?"

After entering the Time Chamber and closing the door, Rhode immediately learned the time difference between this place and the outside world.

Like Earth's Time Chamber, this space contained only a few residential buildings. The air was thin, and the land stretched endlessly beneath a hazy sky, creating an oppressive feeling.

However, the thin air was beneficial for physical training, while the oppressive environment tempered the mind. Both were conducive to cultivation. As long as one could adapt and persevere, one's strength would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

After understanding the flow of time, Rhode immediately considered the gravity adjustment mentioned in his earlier wish. "The gravity can be adjusted from one to ten thousand times? That's more than enough!"

Whether ten thousand times was Porunga's upper limit or simply the limit he believed living beings could endure, the Time Chamber's gravity could not exceed ten thousand times.

Still, as Rhode had said, ten thousand times gravity might not sound like much, but it was more than sufficient.

After all, mortals had their limits. Even the gods of the Dragon Ball World might not be able to withstand such immense gravity.

"Aila, we'll be training here for a while!"

After carefully experiencing the environment of his Portable Time Chamber, Rhode turned his gaze to Aila, who was also surveying the space.

Aila nodded in agreement at Rhode's words. "This place is oppressive, and the gravity can be adjusted. It really is a good place to train."

"A year in here equals a day outside, so let's set our training period at one year for now!"

Seeing how serious Aila was, Rhode set a small goal. However, he did not make it absolute and said with a smile, "If either of us can't hold on, we can leave early!"

"Hmph! I definitely won't be the one leaving!"

Hearing Rhode's obviously pointed remark, Aila curled her lips and answered stubbornly.

"Then we'll see."

Rhode merely smiled and said nothing more.

He took out all the Hoi-Poi Capsules on him and placed the clothes, preserved food, water, and other supplies prepared inside into the houses within the space. He also carefully stored away the Senzu Beans.

Rhode had prepared these supplies back on Earth specifically for training in the Time Chamber. Now, the time had come to use them.

While Rhode and Aila trained in the Time Chamber, Planet Namek's Great Elder and Kami reminisced about the past, with the Great Elder telling Kami, the child who had returned home, about Planet Namek's history.

Meanwhile, earlier in the depths of space, a Spaceship sped across the starry sky when an urgent alarm suddenly rang out aboard it.

"What happened?"

Aboard the Spaceship, the leader was Shimorekka, a short man with pale green skin, spiky hedgehog-like hair, and sharp eyes. Hearing the alarm, he hurriedly questioned the monitoring room.

As soon as Shimorekka spoke, one of his subordinates ran over to report, "Boss, not far from us, there are several people in spacesuits. They're displaying their strength, seemingly trying to get our attention."

"People in outer space?"

Shimorekka was quite surprised by his subordinate's report. He could not help looking at Yunba beside him, who was tall, built like a fat bear, and still continuously stuffing food into his mouth. "Yunba, what do you think?"

"Do whatever you want!"

Faced with Shimorekka's question, Yunba kept eating and answered indifferently.

Seeing Yunba bury his head in food as if he would never emerge, Shimorekka felt his temper flare and could not help cursing, "Bastard, all you know how to do is eat!"

Yunba did not care about being scolded by Shimorekka. Not only that, he argued with complete confidence, "Of course! How can you grow without food? How can you have enough stamina? And without stamina, how are you supposed to rob anyone?"

"How did I end up with a teammate like you?"

Shimorekka was utterly defeated by Yunba's attitude.

At that moment, all he wanted was to find a reliable teammate. Otherwise, if anything happened, Yunba, who knew nothing but eating, would not only be useless for ideas but could also drive him mad.

He had to find someone knowledgeable and steady-tempered!

Looking at the unreliable Yunba beside him, Shimorekka silently made up his mind.

"Hehe!"

Listening to Shimorekka's complaints, Yunba wore an innocent smile before grabbing another handful of food and stuffing it into his mouth.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The sound of food being chewed echoed beside him, making Shimorekka even more irritated. Ignoring Yunba, his pig-headed teammate, he glared at his subordinate. "What are those guys' Power Levels?"

Questioned by his boss, the subordinate shuddered and hurriedly answered respectfully, "Reporting, Boss! The lowest reading is thirty thousand, while the highest is around one hundred thousand!"

The subordinate feared that if he answered too slowly, his ill-tempered boss would punish him.

"Oh? They're that weak?"

Shimorekka was momentarily stunned by the report. If they were that weak, then there would be no problem.

He just did not know whether any of them were intelligent. More importantly, did they have much wealth on them?

With that thought, Shimorekka waved his hand. "Bring the Spaceship over!"

At Shimorekka's command, the subordinates aboard immediately turned the Spaceship around and flew toward the detected individuals.

Before long, three people in spacesuits who had been waiting to die in the void of space were brought aboard Shimorekka's Spaceship.

After removing their spacesuits and revealing their true faces, the three were none other than Pasta, Panai, and Gaty—the trio who had previously tried and failed to rob Rhode, only to be subdued by him and escape death with the Barrier Device built into their spacesuit equipment.

At that moment, all three were utterly haggard, their faces gaunt, looking as though every last bit of energy had been drained from their bodies.

"My god!"

Seeing them in such a state, Even though Shimorekka possessed a Power Level of over six hundred thousand, he was still startled, his emotions visibly agitated.

"How did you end up like this?"

Though their appearance had frightened him at first glance, Shimorekka quickly recognized their condition and could not help asking.

Faced with Shimorekka's question, Pasta and the other two sensed that although he was short, he radiated an extremely dangerous presence. Naturally, they told him everything that had happened.

They particularly emphasized that their opponent might have been from the Frieza Force, lest the man before them misunderstand and bring them misfortune.

"One of Frieza's men?"

Upon hearing Frieza mentioned, Shimorekka raised his brows. With a Power Level of barely over five hundred thousand, he still called himself the Galactic Emperor? What a joke!

If not for his formidable father, King Cold, he would have been beaten to death countless times already.

"Don't be afraid. From now on, you're members of the Saganbo Pirates. There's no need to care about someone like Frieza!"

Frieza might have a powerful father, but his own boss, Saganbo, was no weaker than King Cold.

They merely occupied separate territories and left each other in peace. If they truly fought, King Cold might not necessarily defeat his boss.

"From now on, just follow my orders."

Without dwelling further on Frieza, Shimorekka looked at the three men. "Tell me where you hid your treasure. Also, what living planets are nearby?"

"Boss, this is where we hid our treasure."

Pasta readily revealed their treasure site to Shimorekka, then continued, "As for living planets, the nearest one seems to be Planet Namek. But that planet is very primitive and has no valuables at all."

"Oh? No valuables? We'll go take a look first!"

Shimorekka did not believe Pasta at all and immediately decided to head for Planet Namek.
