Ansible gc_storage error boto` 2.9+ is required for this module. Try: pip install `boto` --upgrade"

Question

I am trying to get a file from gcloud bucket using gc_storage module but I get the error fatal: [10.xx.xxx.xx]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "'boto' 2.9+ is required for this module. Try: pip install 'boto' --upgrade"}

My playbook looks like this

---
- name: update key
  hosts: tools

  tasks:
  - name: get link.sh
    gc_storage:
      bucket: cmg-tools-packer
      object: tenable/link.sh
      dest: /tmp
      mode: get
      gs_access_key: "0xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxc"
      gs_secret_key: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMII\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n"

My inventory looks like

[tools]
10.xx.xxx.xx ansible_python_interpreter=python3

I have boto installed on my ansible server as well as on the target server.

Version output on ansible server:

Not sure what is the issue here. TIA for your input.

Your `pip3` is broken, it also runs under Python 2.7. Verify with `pip3 --version`. Fix with `python3 -m pip install -U pip` — phd, Mar 04 '21 at 20:25
`python3 -m pip install -U pip` give me error `SyntaxError: invalid syntax`. `File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pip/_internal/cli/main.py", line 60 sys.stderr.write(f"ERROR: {exc}")` — bilcy, Mar 11 '21 at 16:32
