The Sealed Piccolo? The Sealed Majin Buu!

"What on earth happened? Why did the Sky Carrier fall from the sky?"

Feeling a slight unease, Mercenary Tao turned to the female officer leading the group beside her and asked a question.

The female officer had purple hair and looked quite aloof, but the serious yet slightly fearful expression on her face ruined her overall aura.

"An enemy has directly entered the very center of the Sky Carrier and has already taken Commander Red hostage..."

This alone would only surprise the female officer named Violet. What truly terrified her was that the enemy could directly control the landing of the Sky Carrier.

As the pinnacle of technological achievement of the entire Red Ribbon Army, the Sky Carrier is extremely powerful both internally and externally. Even highly skilled martial artists would find it nearly impossible to break through Sky Carrier defenses.

With the addition of the Crane School, the Red Ribbon Army was quite clear about the capabilities of those powerful martial artists. It was precisely because they believed that the Sky Carrier possessed the power to counter martial artists that the Commander Red would sit on the Sky Carrier every day to oversee the situation.

Otherwise, if any powerful individual could destroy Sky Carrier, then Sky Carrier flying in the sky would be nothing more than a living coffin.

In reality, even with Mercenary Tao's strength, it would take a considerable amount of time to destroy a Sky Carrier. To pull Sky Carrier directly to the ground like this... only the true high-ranking generals of the Red Ribbon Army could truly understand how terrifying this was.

With a click, the steel gate of the Sky Carrier opened, and Vegapunk and Bulma swaggered out.

"Who are you?! What have you done to the Fleet Admiral?"

The one who spoke was a handsome blond man with blue eyes, who was also the strongest person present besides Mercenary Tao, Colonel Silver (also known as Colonel Silver) of the Red Ribbon Army.

"You mean that shorty named Red? He's now under my command—or rather, the entire Red Ribbon Army is now under my control!"

"Where did this madman come from, spouting nonsense here!"

Colonel Silver roared, his eyes fixed on Vegapunk, emitting a faint blue light—this colonel was not only exceptionally skilled in martial arts, but also possessed certain superpowers, able to immobilize others through his eyes.

However, he only glanced at Vegapunk and immediately screamed in agony, nearly having his eyes burst by Vegapunk's spontaneous psychic counterattack.

It was like hitting a rock with an egg. Even though the rock didn't move, the sheer force of the reaction caused the superhuman to have a splitting headache and blood streaming from his eyes.

"Wait... this... this is Miss Bulma? The President of Umbrella Corporation, the Chakra Network administrator!"

Just then, an Orks officer with a dog's head recognized Bulma's appearance and shouted as if waking from a dream, which immediately caused a stir among the surrounding Red Ribbon Army.

The Umbrella Corporation is almost a combination of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council—not the United Nations, but a union of five countries, making it the uncrowned king of the entire planet.

As for the Chakra Illusion Network... it's probably equivalent to high technology from outer space? Anyway, no Earthlings has been able to research and develop a 12345 yet.

"The President of Umbrella Corporation?"

Mercenary Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, ignoring the Red Ribbon Army that were already terrified, and showed an interested expression on his face.

Mercenary Tao, who had once considered joining Umbrella Corporation, also investigated Bulma's identity. In addition to a series of titles such as Chakra Network administrator, super rich person, President of Umbrella Corporation, and daughter of the chairman of Capsule Corp Capsule Corporation, he knew that this seemingly young girl was actually the most outstanding scientist on Earth.

But he never imagined that... the President of Umbrella Corporation, this genius tech girl, would be this strong!

That's right, she's incredibly strong! Although Bulma's strength has increased dramatically after the modification, she hasn't learned any martial arts techniques, which means she doesn't restrain her aura at all.

Just like those unskilled aliens in Frieza Force, any martial artist with a bit of perception could feel the terrifying energy emanating from Bulma, which was like a blazing sun.

"Is this the crisis I suddenly sensed just now? Such terrifying energy and such crude techniques... could it be the result of technological modification?"

Mercenary Tao pondered in his heart, while also constantly assessing Bulma's strength, wanting to see if he had the power to fight her.

Although his combat power of less than 300 points is a joke compared to Bulma's current combat power of hundreds of millions, the traditional martial arts' perception of aura does have such a shortcoming - it is not accurate enough!

For traditional martial artists, if their fighting strength is more than double that of their opponent, they can only sense that their opponent is far superior to them, but they have no specific feeling about how much more.

This is precisely why Mercenary Tao still had the mind to consider whether he had a chance of winning—if the difference in fighting power was really only double, then he felt that with his martial arts experience, he wasn't entirely without a chance of winning against a complete novice with no martial arts foundation.

Perhaps Mercenary Tao's gaze was too dazzling, because Bulma, whose strength had greatly increased, quickly sensed the only calm person present and immediately recognized his identity.

"Hey, hey... Vegapunk, look, isn't that the so-called world's greatest assassin?"

Upon seeing Mercenary Tao, Bulma shrank back behind Vegapunk somewhat timidly, whispering something in Vegapunk ear.

Vegapunk rolled his eyes and pulled her out from behind him:

"What are you afraid of, Bulma! You don't actually think that the world's number one assassin can do anything to you right now, do you?"

Bulma was stunned for a moment before she reacted, then jumped out confidently, hands on her hips, looking smug.

"Oh right, I almost forgot! I'm now the strongest person on Earth... the strongest person besides you, Vegapunk!"

"The strongest?!"

Mercenary Tao snorted coldly, and in a flash, appeared behind Bulma:

"Little girl, let me tell you—martial arts isn't just about accumulating strength... Ugh!"

Mercenary Tao, spinning as it flew out, crashed into the Sky Carrier with a loud bang, creating a huge hole in the entire Sky Carrier —a hole that ran through the entire carrier and allowed a direct view of the other side!

Bulma, who had just made a gesture as if swatting a mosquito, looked at her hand with some confusion, then glanced at Vegapunk:

"What... just happened?"

Vegapunk rolled his eyes and slowly replied:

"Clearly, you just slapped the world's number one assassin away... maybe he's just a pile of minced meat now?"

A rustling sound rang out continuously. Vegapunk turned his head and saw a group of the Red Ribbon Army soldiers who had lost their will to fight and laid down their weapons.

As the chief instructor of the Red Ribbon Army, Mercenary Tao spent most of his time cultivating on his own, but he also gave some simple instruction to the soldiers. As a result, the soldiers knew Mercenary Tao's strength very well.

This was a monster that could cut through half a base without any firearms, yet it was utterly powerless against Bulma, being swatted away like a mosquito. This contrast made the soldiers realize the gap between the two sides.

Perhaps the high Red Ribbon Army has some backbone, but these soldiers don't want to be slaughtered.

Moreover, the Red Ribbon Army's strongest soldiers are all inside the Sky Carrier, and they have all been defeated by Vegapunk.

Even Colonel Silver, who was initially very agitated, has now become extremely docile, laid down his weapon, and surrendered directly.

Mercenary Tao's vitality was not bad, and Bulma only waved her hand subconsciously at the time, so this number one assassin in the world was spared his life.

Despite the fact that this guy's bones were shattered and his internal organs were almost torn into eight pieces, with not a single good piece of flesh from head to toe, Vegapunk still managed to revive him at full health after feeding him a Senzu Beans.

After his resurrection, Mercenary Tao looked utterly bewildered, beginning to question whether his arduous training in martial arts was truly meaningful. Of course, Vegapunk, a technological supremacist, had no interest in the confusion this minor boss from the original story had about martial arts.

On the contrary, after gaining basic control of the Red Ribbon Army, Vegapunk quickly found his next target: Dr. Gero of the Red Ribbon Army.

Dr. Gero is quite old now, with a full head of white hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a hint of sinister ruthlessness in his eyes. He doesn't look like a good person at all.

Dr. Gero is indeed not a good person. Characters in the Dragon Ball World often have distinct personalities, somewhat polarized. Good is good, and bad is bad. Piccolo and Kami are the purest examples.

Piccolo wants to rule the world because he likes the chaos of the world, rather than pursuing personal gain.

Dr. Gero was much the same: ambitious, tyrannical, cruel, and evil-natured, with a delusion that he could use the power of technology to help the Red Ribbon Legion rule the world.

"I never expected that a big shot from the Umbrella Corporation would also target the Red Ribbon Army. What an inauspicious start!"

Dr. Gero glanced at Vegapunk and Bulma, and said something that sounded like a sigh.

"If only it could have lasted longer... then the Red Ribbon Army would truly have its own trump card..."

"The trump card?"

Vegapunk looked at Dr. Gero with great surprise, unable to understand how this guy could be so confident—although Dr. Gero's various researches had made great progress due to the spread of the Chakra Network, his most impressive research should be the Android 12 standing next to him!

This is indeed much stronger than Android 8, which he created back then. It is even strong enough to surpass Piccolo and become the true final boss in the early stages of Dragon Ball. However, based on this guy who is far inferior to the Fungal Modified Human he created, Vegapunk really can't see what kind of trump card he has.

"Although I don't want to discourage you, given the Androids you've created, it will take at least five years for them to pose any threat to the Umbrella Corporation."

Dr. Gero didn't object to Vegapunk's words; in fact, he nodded in agreement.

"That's right, but there are countless complex forces on Earth, Umbrella Corporation isn't the strongest!"

"Have you ever heard of Piccolo, who hundreds of years ago ravaged the Earth, defeated countless martial artists, and almost conquered the entire world?!"

"The Red Ribbon Army has discovered his seal. Once my technology is complete and I possess the power to control Piccolo, ruling the entire world will be a piece of cake!"

Vegapunk: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Piccolo? Are you kidding me?!

With that thing's combat power, your Android 12 could easily take it down!

As Dr. Gero spoke, he casually pressed a certain mechanism, and the entire Laboratory floor split open with a rumbling sound. The pit in the middle rose up, and a strange giant egg appeared in front of everyone.

"The legendary Piccolo, who was sealed away, was discovered by our Red Ribbon Legion by chance. The energy inside the egg is incredibly strong, even exceeding the energy of thousands of suns!"

"Once this seal is broken and Piccolo is under our control, the world will fall into our hands!"

Vegapunk stared blankly at the giant egg before him, his head buzzing – this wasn't Piccolo! This was clearly Majin Buu!

In fact, what sealed Piccolo was just a rice cooker, something most people would never have imagined.

On the contrary, the giant egg in front of us is indeed a very carefully made sealing artifact, and it does indeed seal Majin Buu inside, so it is quite normal for people to misunderstand.

Moreover, given the importance the Red Ribbon Army placed on this giant egg, they probably didn't tell the Crane School members—after all, it was the founder of the Crane School who sealed Piccolo, and although Master Shen's heart was not righteous, he still respected his teacher very much, so it was impossible for him to agree to the Red Ribbon Army releasing Piccolo.

Otherwise, the Red Ribbon Army would probably already know that they had made a huge Oolong —of course, to some extent, if the Red Ribbon Army could really control Majin Buu, then ruling the Earth would be a piece of cake for them.

Well, if they can actually control Majin Buu instead of being turned into chocolate by Majin Buu.
