Criminals Preying on Criminals

"Good question. If you ask me who I am, then my answer is—I will be the master of the Red Ribbon Army!"

Vegapunk looked at his Staff Officer Black, with a grin on his face.

At this moment, the Commander Red lying on the ground stared wide-eyed:

"Damn it, you want to swallow up my Red Ribbon Army? Blake, kill him right now!"

In fact, the Commander Red's urging was already late enough. After hearing Vegapunk's words, the Black Staff Officer was also full of anger and threw a punch without hesitation.

Vegapunk didn't flinch, just stood there. The Black Staff Officer's fist slammed into Vegapunk's face, and his expression changed drastically as he screamed in pain.

Since the spread of the Chakra Network, Chakra has almost become a standard feature of intelligent beings on Earth. The Black Staff Officer was not weak to begin with, and in the original work, he could even exchange two blows with Kid Goku. Even if he was just beaten and not knocked down by a single punch, he was still Superman among ordinary people.

The Chakra that this physique can refine far exceeds that of Kage Level. Not to mention that with Crane School joining the Red Ribbon Army, the Black Staff Officer has obviously also cultivated some qigong. In terms of combat power alone, his combat power has long exceeded 100.

In the world of Dragon Ball, a power level of over 100 might not sound strong, but it is actually terrifying. One punch from a person can shatter even a reinforced concrete wall instantly, and can even flatten steel.

However, this powerful punch, after hitting Vegapunk's face, instantly shattered the Black Staff Officer's hand bones!

"Damn it! What kind of monster are you? Black's fists can even pierce through steel!"

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. Lying on the ground, the Commander Red saw his Black Staff Officer clutching his fist and swaying precariously. He was so frightened that he shouted loudly, seemingly in a panic, but actually trying to warn the other members of the Red Ribbon Army.

Vegapunk, however, didn't care much. In Vegapunk eyes, this warlord organization hiding on Earth was no different from an ant and posed no threat to him whatsoever.

In Vegapunk's view, it was an honor for the Red Ribbon Army to be willing to subdue them; he didn't even bother to use Genjutsu.

As the Commander Red shouted, a group of elite soldiers from the Red Ribbon Army rushed into the office in a matter of moments, and at the same time, all kinds of advanced weapons were aimed at Vegapunk.

"A pretty good weapon... Was it invented by Dr. Gero?"

Vegapunk said lazily, and with his Observation Haki now so precise that it was almost nanometer-level, he could easily see the structure of the guns in the soldiers' hands.

These individual weapons are powered not only by the gunpowder in the bullets, but also by the Chakra within each soldier's body. The bullets are also engraved with special sealing patterns, so firing the bullet can be considered as simultaneously unleashing a C-Rank ninjutsu.

The original bullets were purely physical weapons, but after being linked with ninjutsu, they were essentially coated with a powerful elemental attack, greatly increasing their destructive power.

Compared to ordinary C-rank ninjutsu, firing with a gun not only eliminates the need for Hand Seals, but also significantly increases the firing speed and range of the ninjutsu. After all, no C-Rank ninjutsu can be fired at supersonic speeds like a bullet.

Of course, this also presents some other problems; these soldiers can only fire bullets in rapid succession, but not ninjutsu in rapid succession.

It's not that firearms are prohibited, but rather that these soldiers have at most Chunin -level Chakra. If they were to fire three to five C-rank ninjutsu per second at the rate of automatic weapons, not to mention whether their meridians could withstand it, their Chakra alone could drain them dry within five seconds.

Seeing that Vegapunk was surrounded, the fallen Commander Red was the first to jump up and scramble away from Vegapunk, not forgetting to pick up the Dragon Ball on the table.

Vegapunk treated it as a clown's performance, only peeking out triumphantly after the Commander Red hid behind his soldiers:

"Heh heh, you fool, do you think the firearms used by my guards are ordinary firearms? I've seen too many idiot martial artists like you who think they're so strong that they dare to take on firearms head-on!"

"Let me show you the Red Ribbon Army's technological prowess! Take him down!"

At Commander Red's command, the soldiers pulled the triggers without hesitation. At that moment, Staff Officer Black standing next to Vegapunk, clutched his fist and looked terrified, desperately trying to escape.

Dozens of bullets with lightning, fire, and wind attributes shot out, their super speed and terrifying destructive power combined to create a deafening roar, instantly blowing away half of the steel-cast office.

Don't underestimate the so-called C-rank ninjutsu. Take the most famous benevolent Fire Release in the Ninja World, the Great Fireball Technique, for example. Even if you don't count the experts, a standard-level Great Fireball used by Chunin would definitely exceed the height of a person and have a diameter of two or three meters.

This enormous fireball is so powerful that it surpasses the destructive power of ordinary hand grenades and rocket launchers, approaching that of artillery shells!

Not to mention that these lightning, fire, and wind bullets can also undergo various fusions and transformations. Due to their violent nature, their power will increase again, and the instantaneous destructive power generated at that moment can even surpass that of ordinary S-Rank Ninjutsu!

A terrifying shockwave erupted, accompanied by painful groans. The Black Staff Officer staggered out of the shockwave, covered in wounds. Even though he had only been affected, his body was already covered in injuries, and his previously injured hand was blown to pieces.

However, Commander Red didn't even glance at his loyal subordinate. His gaze remained fixed on the very center of the shockwave. Having watched the recording of the World Martial Arts Tournament, Commander Red knew very well that these Chakra Weapon might be invincible against ordinary martial artists, but against certain freaks, their effectiveness was hard to predict.

Although Commander Red had just spoken carelessly, he was genuinely afraid that Vegapunk was a monster of the level of the World Martial Arts Tournament champion. However, seeing that the smoke was gradually dissipating and there was no one inside, Commander Red breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hahaha, looks like it's been completely wiped out, not even a trace left! I really thought it was something special..."

"Fleet Admiral, watch out!"

Staff Officer Black looked behind the Commander Red with a look of horror and shouted a warning. At that moment, a hand patted the Commander Red on the shoulder.

The Commander Red shuddered, turned his head, and saw Vegapunk grinning broadly.

"I saw you laughing so happily just now. What happened? Tell me so I can be happy too?"

Unfortunately, the expression on Commander Red's face was no longer happy; instead, it was filled with terror.

"W-what... what do you want? Do you want the Dragon Ball? Here, take the Dragon Ball..."

Vegapunk sighed softly, shook his head, and looked helpless.

"Didn't I just tell you? I want the Red Ribbon Army! What, haven't you ever heard of evil organizations double-crossing each other?"

An evil organization... double-crossing?

Commander Red looked incredulous. On Earth, shouldn't his Red Ribbon Army be the biggest evil organization? Shouldn't he be the one doing the double-crossing? When did it become the turn of other organizations to double-cross the Red Ribbon Army?

"Trying to double-cross the Black Red Ribbon Army? Aren't you afraid of overdosing yourself? Who exactly are you? I don't believe any organization on Earth is qualified to swallow up the Red Ribbon Army!"

The Black Staff Officer, his face contorted with rage, asked angrily despite his severe injuries.

Vegapunk smiled and waved his hand:

"First, even if such an organization does not exist on Earth, there must be warlord forces in the universe that are far more powerful than the Red Ribbon Army."

"Secondly, there really is a black force on Earth that can crush the Red Ribbon Army, and unfortunately, it is one of my subordinates!"

"Don't joke around, I've never even heard of that..."

The Commander Red turned his head and said angrily twice, but Vegapunk reached out and grabbed, and the void shattered. A beautiful woman with blue hair and a bright face cried out and appeared directly from the void.

"What's going on? Hey, Vegapunk, you're the one who dragged me here!"

Although the girl in front of them looked both innocent and charming, almost all the members of the Red Ribbon Army who saw her showed expressions of extreme fear!

"Bububu, Miss Bulma!"

"The President of Umbrella Corporation, the Guardian of Chakra Network!"

Vegapunk has been wandering in space for years, and his clones on Earth spend their time either conducting experiments or keeping Bulma, so they are not particularly famous.

However, Bulma was different from him. Whether it was the Chakra Illusion Network or the Umbrella Corporation, it was basically Bulma who handled it for him. Although Bulma was not really good at it and her methods were simple and crude, it was precisely because of this that Bulma's fame spread throughout the world.

At this moment, Commander Red suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a warlord force in this world that was far more powerful than the Red Ribbon Army. However, because it had grown too large, neither the country nor the government dared to classify it as a warlord, and it had automatically completed the process of being whitewashed.

That's right, that's the Umbrella Corporation today! As a super monopoly that ushered in the Chakra Era and whose technology is at least decades or even centuries ahead of the entire planet, the entire Umbrella Corporation is now almost developing into a producer.

Moreover, the entire Umbrella Corporation enforces its internal regulations, completely disregarding the laws of the Kingdom. Even when the law clashes with the rules of the Umbrella Corporation, the Umbrella Corporation ultimately has to take precedence.

By operating as a private company and thus placing themselves above the state and the law, they don't belong to the criminal underworld. So who does?

Moreover, it is a black force that is far more terrifying and countless times more powerful than the Red Ribbon Army!

The Commander Red, who had initially been somewhat hostile, now showed a look of despair. Even when facing the unified government of the Dragon Ball World, the Red Ribbon Army was fearless, but when facing the Umbrella Corporation on Earth, the so-called Red Ribbon Army was nothing more than a castle on the beach.

"Let's just go down. Sky Carrier isn't a good place to talk."

Vegapunk glanced around and spoke calmly.

After saying that, Vegapunk ignored the Red Ribbon Army and spread out a powerful electromagnetic force, instantly controlling the Sky Carrier and sending it directly to the ground.

Although the battle on the Sky Carrier was extremely brief, it was not only the heart of the Red Ribbon Army, but also a place where the destructive power of the Chakra Weapon was extremely strong. Therefore, the alarm had already resounded throughout the Red Ribbon Army's base.

Therefore, when the Sky Carrier suddenly descended from the sky without any warning or communication, the people at the Black Silk Army base immediately went on alert, and all kinds of long guns and short cannons were already aimed at the Sky Carrier falling from the sky.

In addition, a martial artist with a small braid, dressed in ancient costume, and with a large "kill" character on his chest, also appeared at the entrance of the Sky Carrier with a cold expression.

This is none other than Mercenary Tao, the former number one assassin in the world. However, after being defeated by Silver Fang Bang in the last World Martial Arts Tournament, Mercenary Tao's personality has changed. He has regained his passion for martial arts and no longer works as an assassin.

Even after leaving his assassin career, Mercenary Tao didn't have Satori like Bang and reform his ways. Instead, he became a pure martial arts fanatic who couldn't distinguish between good and evil.

Meanwhile, as the Chakra Network expanded, Mercenary Tao himself discovered that Chakra and technological advancements enhanced his personal combat abilities.

This former top assassin didn't know much about technology, but that didn't stop him from seeking out a powerful force to serve as a platform for his training.

At first, Mercenary Tao even approached the Umbrella Corporation, but Bulma had Vegapunk Fungal Modified Human under her command, and she didn't care about martial arts at all, so Mercenary Tao ultimately couldn't find a way to join.

Ultimately, he settled for the Red Ribbon Army, whose technological level was second only to the Umbrella Corporation and whose ambitions were even greater. The various training equipment, Nutrient Solution, and human Repair Pod developed by the Red Ribbon Army allowed Mercenary Tao's strength to advance by leaps and bounds.

Mercenary Tao now boasts a combat power of 260 points, comparable to Piccolo after breaking the seal and regaining his youth. He is also the most powerful trump card in the entire Red Ribbon Army!

However, this strongest trump card was frowning, and for some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

The older generation of martial artists from Earthlings in Dragon Ball are practically insignificant in the universe. Any random combat-type alien could easily beat them to a pulp.

However, the martial arts that originated from Earth are considered top-notch in the entire universe, and the almost spontaneous perception ability is a unique ability of Earth's martial arts masters.

The previous chapter was blocked and is currently being rectified. "Red ribbon" also seems to be a prohibited word, so I changed it to "Black Ribbon Army."
