I, Pilaf, Have Nothing

This coastal city, nestled between mountains and water, boasts beautiful scenery everywhere during the height of summer.

The city's terrain slopes downwards from north to south, nestled against verdant mountains on one side and offering a panoramic view of the azure ocean on the other. At the bay's entrance stands a luxurious villa, Roland's villa on Earth, which also serves as a home for Roland and Tights.

Although they haven't lived there much since getting married, the entire villa is spotless and looks brand new thanks to the servants' cleaning.

In the courtyard, Blue-haired Launch and wearing an apron, was sweeping fallen leaves with a broom. Not far away, a Gravity Chamber with a metallic sheen was next to the pavilion, humming and making a low, rumbling sound as it operated.

Since Tights became pregnant, considering that Tights's physical condition was not suitable for staying in the high gravity environment of Planet Sadala for a long time, in order to prevent problems for the fetus, Roland and Sephiria finally took Tights back to Earth, planning to send the child to the Sub-God Realm for nurturing after Tights gave birth.

"The teacher is still so diligent in his spiritual practice!"

Launch looked at the Gravity Chamber for a while, then admired the view of the bay before taking out a large pair of scissors and snipping away at the flowers in the courtyard.

At this moment, Roland and Tights walked into the pavilion one after the other and sat down. When Launch saw this, a smile appeared on her pretty face. She quickly went into the room to prepare some snacks. Soon, a plate of exquisite snacks and a pot of hot tea were served to Roland.

"You can leave these things to the servants; you should relax."

Launch smiled and said, "I think this is great. It would be so boring if we didn't do something."

What a hardworking girl.

Roland gave the Blue-haired Launch an appreciative look, then invited her to sit down and have some snacks with her. Launch's cooking skills were quite good; the delicious snacks were both exquisite and tasty.

Tights held the Dragon Radar in her hand, eating the snacks prepared by Launch while looking at the seven points of light gathered together on the Dragon Radar. She smiled at Roland and said, "Bulma has been busy for more than a month and has finally collected the Dragon Ball. If it weren't for your clansmen protecting her, I think she would have had a hard time."

Roland smiled and said, "They're already suffering now."

Tights looked at Roland with a puzzled expression, and Roland explained that on the other side of the earth, Goku lost his mind after seeing the full moon.

"By carefully sensing the energy permeating the air, one should be able to detect a rather chaotic force."

Tights and Launch tried it out. Although their power was not very strong, they could vaguely sense the restless and chaotic energy on the other side of the Earth. The intensity was about a thousand combat power, which was already at the ceiling level on a low-level planet like Earth.

"Will Bulma be in danger?" Tights's slender eyebrows arched.

"There won't be any major problems, I'll go rescue her in a bit..." Roland chuckled. Just then, her communicator beeped; the Kami's distress signal had reached her. "It's a communication from the Kami."

"Hello!" Roland said into the Communicator.

"Mr. Roland, Earth is in grave trouble and we need your help..." The Kami tried to explain the situation, but Roland interrupted him, saying, "No need to explain. I'm on Earth right now, and I already know the situation."

"Ah, so Mr. Roland is on Earth. That's wonderful! I'm counting on you all." The Kami's voice was filled with surprise.

"Um."

Roland gave a faint "hmm," hung up the call with the Kami, and then said to Tights and the others, "I'll be right back. Launch, take good care of Tights."

"Leave it to me." Launch nodded vigorously.

"I'll leave Bulma to you." Tights looked at him.

Roland smiled slightly, waved to Tights and the others, then aimed at Goku's aura and Instant Transmission. With a flash of light, Roland disappeared from the garden in a flash.

On the other side, Pilaf's castle.

The desert environment has little vegetation. Looking around, there are only clusters of hollow stalagmites. These stalagmites are like potted plants, with their tops connected together and the parts that connect to the ground splitting into several stalagmites. Although these bare rock formations and stalagmites are unusual, they can be seen everywhere on Earth.

At this moment, the berserk Great Ape that Goku had transformed into roared across the desert, spewing out intense energy attacks. Pilaf's painstakingly built castle had long been completely destroyed by the Great Ape.

Not far away, Pilaf, a small man, lay prostrate on the ground, staring blankly at the enraged Great Ape, not knowing what was going on.

"My castle... Damn Great Ape, once my wish is fulfilled, I will definitely take revenge on you." Pilaf clenched his fists, heartbroken as he watched his base camp being destroyed.

"Lord Pilaf, let's hurry and leave with the Dragon Ball. If we don't leave now... we'll all be in danger if that monster finds us." A woman in a blue military uniform contacted Pilaf with a walkie-talkie. The woman had long, jet-black hair, delicate features, and light red eyeshadow under her eyebrows.

She is Mai, the only woman in the Pilaf Gang. Along with the dog ninja Shu, she is Pilaf's right-hand woman.

The dog ninja added, "Mai is right. Staying here would be too dangerous. We've already got the Dragon Ball, so there's no need to waste time with them."

"Damn it, I won't let you get away with this!"

Pilaf's eyes darted around, and he roared fiercely at the Great Ape. This guy, who had ambitions to rule the world, wasn't stupid. He could naturally tell what was important and what was not. After throwing out a villain's usual line, he ran towards Mai. Soon, a beige jet plane took off.

Just then, the Great Ape, over twenty meters tall, after destroying the entire castle, saw the flash of light soaring through the sky.

With a savage glint in its eyes, the Great Ape suddenly opened its blood-red maw and fired an energy cannon at the jet plane high in the sky. With a hiss, the energy cannon shot straight toward the jet plane. The Pilaf Gang inside the plane panicked when they saw the incoming energy attack. The dog ninja hurriedly turned the control stick, but the energy cannon still grazed the plane and hit it.

With a loud boom, a cloud of black smoke rose into the sky.

Pilaf's jet plane was hit, and the seven Dragon Ball scattered all over the ground.

"Ah, my Dragon Ball!" Pilaf screamed hysterically, having narrowly escaped death.

"Lord Pilaf, run! Or we're really doomed!"

"Waaaaah... My castle, my Dragon Ball, all gone!" Pilaf was overcome with grief and burst into tears. Having lost his base and the Dragon Ball, he had nothing left.

However, Mai and Shu didn't dare to stay in the desert any longer, so they quickly helped Pilaf escape to a safe place.

On the other side, after destroying the jet plane, the irrational Great Ape was still not satisfied and continued to spew energy. One after another, giant mushroom clouds rose on the other side of the ground line, and fireballs rose from the ground. The earth trembled continuously, and broken rocks mixed with sand and dust kept falling.

"Roar!!"

The Great Ape roared furiously, pounding its chest, and an unstoppable aura enveloped it.
