People fear fame as pigs fear fattening.
Once Rocky became famous with the White Demon Armor, more people knew of him, more people understood him, and more people studied him.
The captain in front of him was one such person; he had carefully studied every one of Rocky's battles in the Arena and had even inquired in detail about how Rocky had impressively taken down five enemies in the battle against Wild Horse City. Thus, when Rocky planned to employ the same strategy to deal with everyone, the captain immediately discerned his intentions!
"Everyone, scatter!"
While enveloped by the smoke, the captain ordered all his team members to leave the smoke's range immediately, and he activated the magic energy detector to search for Rocky's trace within the mist.
