The journey that followed was for Bulma both an adventure and a “paradise trip.” The only difference was that every instance of being taken advantage of that she would have suffered in the original story was strangled in its cradle in this lifetime.
The first stop, encountering the old pervert Master Roshi at the seaside.
When Master Roshi put forward the unreasonable demand of “wanting to see her underwear before he would hand over the Flying Nimbus,” Bulma had not even had the chance to get angry before Son Gokai had already stepped forward.
“Teacher, please conduct yourself with dignity.” Son Gokai said it lightly and without fuss, but the mildly serious expression on his face instantly made Master Roshi’s lecherous look stiffen into place.
“Ahem…
that was…
just a joke, just a joke!” Master Roshi awkwardly wiped the sweat from his brow, since in front of this prized disciple of his, he still needed to maintain at least the appearance of a proper teacher.
In the end, Master Roshi obediently handed over the Flying Nimbus and the three star Dragon Ball, and even tried to give Bulma a capsule, but was stopped by a single look from Son Gokai.
The second stop, a village being terrorized by Oolong.
The shapeshifting pig demon Oolong was in the middle of trying to abduct a girl from the village.
In the original story this fellow managed to cause quite a bit of trouble, but in front of Son Gokai, it was over with a single glare.
“Pig Talisman, Heat Vision.” Son Gokai narrowed his eyes slightly, and two beams of red light shot directly into the ground at Oolong’s feet, burning two bottomless black holes into the earth.
“If you dare pull any more nonsense, next time I’m aiming at your pig tail.” Oolong was so frightened on the spot that he nearly wet himself, immediately dropped to his knees and begged for mercy, handed over the Dragon Ball without another word, and was forced to join the group as a “guide” (which really meant a pack mule).
The third stop, the highway bandit Yamcha.
When the handsome long haired bandit leapt out with his wolf Puar to try and rob them, Bulma had not even had the chance to develop a crush before Son Gokai had already stepped in front of her.
“You want to touch my employer?” Son Gokai let out a cold laugh, and without even using his hands, the sheer pressure of the wind generated by his terrifying speed (Rabbit Talisman) was enough to send Yamcha flying.
Yamcha’s prized Wolf Fang Fist did not even graze the hem of Son Gokai’s clothing.
Looking at this absurdly powerful man before him, then looking at Bulma behind him gazing up with total admiration, Yamcha was deeply shaken, and not only failed to rob them, but his fear of women actually grew even worse from the shock, sending him fleeing in a sorry state.
Before long, the group arrived at Fire Mountain.
This was the location of the sixth Dragon Ball as shown on Bulma’s Dragon Radar.
Raging flames surged into the sky there, and the entire castle was surrounded by a roaring inferno that made it impossible to approach.
The Ox King, whose enormous frame was like that of a giant, stood holding a great axe and was already at his wit’s end over the fire, and at the sight of people approaching he raised it to strike without a word.
“Wait!
Ox King!” Son Gokai caught that great axe in one hand, one capable of splitting mountains, and did not move an inch.
“You are…?” The Ox King was stunned, for was there actually someone in this world who could catch his axe with bare hands?
“I am a disciple of Master Roshi, and also the grandson of Son Gohan.
My name is Son Gokai.” Upon hearing those two names, the Ox King was instantly moved to tears.
“So you’re my junior fellow disciple!
(The author honestly isn’t sure what the right term is.) Wonderful!
Please save my castle!
All my treasures are inside!” In the original story, this ordeal required bringing Master Roshi in to put out the fire, and Master Roshi ended up putting too much power into his Kamehameha and blasted the entire mountain out of existence.
But this time, there was no need for that much trouble.
“Putting out a fire is all, leave it to me.” Son Gokai walked up to the wall of flame.
He did not call upon the power of any talisman, but instead settled into that classic stance.
“Hah…” He took a deep breath, and the energy throughout his body began to stir, but remained extremely contained, with not the slightest leak outward.
“Ka…
me…
ha…
me…
HA!!” This time, he did not pursue pure destructive power, but instead converted his “ki” into an intense pressure wave and shockwave.
“BOOM!!!” The blue column of light roared out and covered the entirety of Fire Mountain with precision.
The powerful energy surge instantly stripped the oxygen from the air and crushed the flames out!
A few seconds later, the light faded.
The fires that had been raging out of control were gone without a trace, and the castle, aside from being somewhat scorched and blackened, was completely unharmed!
“A Kamehameha like that…
what a godly technique!!” The Ox King stared with his mouth hanging open, for this level of control over ki was no less than that of his own teacher Master Roshi!
Afterward, at Son Gokai’s direction, Son Goku still went off just as in the original story and brought back the lost Chi Chi.
The two oblivious children completed their promise on the Flying Nimbus, the one where “if you don’t mind, you’ll marry me.” Even though Goku had absolutely no idea what marriage meant, Son Gokai did not interfere, since this was his own younger brother’s destined bond and it was not his place to go meddling with it.
After leaving Fire Mountain, the location of the last Dragon Ball turned out to be somewhat strange.
It appeared to be inside a mobile base.
That was Emperor Pilaf’s flying castle.
These three bumbling villains with delusions of world domination had set up layer after layer of traps, and even used specially made cages to imprison everyone, intending to steal the Dragon Balls.
“Hahahaha!
Foolish mortals!
Now you cannot escape even if you had wings!” The diminutive Pilaf laughed maniacally in the control room.
However, the next second, the laugh got stuck in his throat.
On the surveillance feed, the handsome young man who had barely spoken throughout (Son Gokai) simply walked up to the reinforced glass wall that was supposedly “impossible to break even with a bomb.” “Ox Talisman, Super Strength.” Son Gokai did not even wind up, and simply threw a single straightforward punch.
“Crack, BOOM!!” The entire wall along with half the castle’s load bearing columns was reduced to rubble in a single blow!
“This…
how is this possible?!” The Pilaf trio’s eyes nearly popped out of their heads in shock.
What followed was simple.
In the face of absolute power, every scheme and trick was nothing but a joke.
Son Gokai swatted aside several mechanical robots that did not know what was good for them as though swatting flies, then tossed the Pilaf trio out into the desert.
Night fell.
On the desolate stony wasteland, all seven Dragon Balls were arranged together, pulsing with a mysterious golden light in the darkness.
“Finally…
they’re all here.” Bulma clasped her hands together in excitement, glanced at Son Gokai beside her, and said, “It really went as smoothly as a dream.” Son Gokai smiled slightly and said, “Let’s begin then, time to witness something miraculous.” He stepped forward, spread both hands open, and called out those words toward the sky in a loud voice.
“Come forth, Eternal Dragon!
Grant my wish!!” “Hummm!!” In an instant, all seven Dragon Balls erupted with a column of golden light shooting into the sky!
The previously clear night sky was instantly blanketed by dark clouds, lightning flashed, thunder cracked, and fierce winds howled!
Amid this scene that looked like the end of the world, an enormous dragon of immeasurable length, its entire body radiating a green glow, wound and coiled its way up out of the golden light, blotting out the entire sky!
In that moment, whether it was Goku, Bulma, or Oolong hiding in the distance, all of them were struck speechless by this miraculous sight.
The Eternal Dragon lowered its head, and those enormous blood red eyes regarded the tiny beings on the ground, as it spoke in a voice of majestic authority.
“You who have gathered all seven Dragon Balls…
speak your wish.” “Whatever your wish may be, I can grant it for you…
but only one.” ============================== Anime: Villain Scientist Chat New Novel guys support me.
