Saiyan Gebinz

"What... was going on?"

Zhu Mang slapped his head hard, feeling as though layers of afterimages had appeared before his eyes.

Within them were Marines and pirates fighting desperately, terrifying Great Apes roaring at the sky and strange races beneath their feet, as well as several tail-bearing Saiyans laughing as they flew around planets and recklessly unleashed energy blasts...

There even seemed to be sounds within those overlapping images.

"Devil!"

"Demon!"

"Monster!"

"Terrifying ape-man!"

"Butcher!"

The curses came from different planets and different races, all translated into his ears by the Frieza Force's scouters.

Since the Frieza Force had long been in the business of "cosmic real estate," they inevitably encountered natives who did not speak the common language. To make them obediently hand over their planets, the scouters were equipped with translation devices containing the languages of many races across the universe.

So, the images that had suddenly appeared before him were actually the memories of this body's original owner, the Saiyan named "Gebinz."

When he had been born, his power level had only been around 50, and he had been classified as a low-class warrior.

Thus, while still very young, he had followed the usual Saiyan practice and been sent in a spherical spaceship to a remote planet of little value.

Then, one night when that planet's moon was full, he had transformed into a Great Ape and destroyed everything on the planet.

After the night of the full moon had passed, he found the spherical spaceship he had arrived in and returned to Planet Vegeta.

As for why he still knew all this despite having been sent away as a child, that was naturally due to Saiyan childhood education.

While Saiyans were still in incubation pods, their brains were filled along with the nurturing fluid with a series of combat techniques, crude methods of using ki, the Saiyans' origins and way of life, and more.

It was probably similar to schools on Earth.

Only, the Saiyans' approach was simpler and more brutal—they poured it directly into their brains.

This was why virtually all naturally born Saiyans were extremely violent.

After all, they had been taught wrong since childhood.

On the contrary, some Saiyans gradually rediscovered their true personalities after growing up.

Bardock was one example.

Afterward, having passed the "adult assessment" early with outstanding results, Gebinz became an active member of the Frieza Force and participated many times in the development of "cosmic real estate."

Until recently, they had gone to a planet whose high-end fighters had power levels of seven or eight thousand, where they met fierce resistance from the native inhabitants.

During the battle, several Saiyans died on the spot. Gebinz was gravely injured, and after the Frieza Force brought him back, the real Gebinz died in the medical pod, allowing Zhu Mang's soul to transmigrate into him.

Obviously, Gebinz's soul had probably already gone to the Underworld at that time—after all, the Dragon Ball world really did have an Underworld.

This had also caused him to obtain only part of Gebinz's memories from his brain—scientifically speaking, human memories were stored in the brain, but Dragon Ball did not entirely follow science, so he only got part of them.

Because the memories were incomplete, Zhu Mang had remained extremely cautious during his first day or two after transmigrating.

Later, only after realizing that disaster might soon strike had he begun striving to improve himself and cling to a rich woman.

He had thought Gebinz's influence on him had completely disappeared.

He had never expected the memories in his brain to impact him at this moment!

Under the influence of that torrent of memories, Zhu Mang seemed to have lived through the entire life of the Saiyan Gebinz in an extremely short span of time.

"Fight, fight, fight! Kill them all!"

Zhu Mang's eyes turned crimson, as though he had become a berserk Great Ape.

No, more accurately, this was what a true Saiyan was actually like!

The previous Zhu Mang and Gebinz had actually been like Son Goku and Kakarot.

When Kakarot had first arrived on Earth, he too had just received the Saiyans' "true cramming education," so he had been extremely violent.

It was not until one day when he fell from a cliff and struck his head, sealing away all those Saiyan memories, that he became a true infant.

Afterward, under the influence of elders such as Son Gohan and Master Roshi, and peers such as Bulma, Krillin, and Tien Shinhan, he gradually became the respected Dragon Ball warrior he was known as today (only before Super; after Super, bleh).

However, certain fan works had introduced such a premise.

What If...? Son Goku awakened his Saiyan memories during some later battle...

In Multiverse Tournament, this had happened in a certain parallel universe. Son Goku had become Kakarot and slaughtered the entire Earth.

And now, as the Saiyan memories within Zhu Mang awakened, the aura around him became increasingly savage.

His bloodshot crimson eyes were fixed tightly on the chaotic battlefield before him. His nostrils were full of the rusty smell of blood, while his ears were filled with the sounds of slaughter.

This made his thoughts increasingly chaotic, and his mind increasingly muddled.

Boom!

The next instant, Zhu Mang's body shot forward. The enormous, utterly uncontrolled force of his charge shattered the entire patch of ground where he had been standing.

He appeared in the midst of a battle between several Marines and pirates.

The pirates were great pirates of the New World with bounties of two or three hundred million, all captain or vice-captain level.

The Marines were vice admirals, already considered mid-to-high-end combat power.

The several pirates and Marine vice admirals were all startled by Zhu Mang's sudden appearance.

After landing, however, Zhu Mang merely stood there trembling.

The endlessly surfacing memories of Saiyans slaughtering planets left him disoriented, as though he were currently standing on an alien world.

Yet some faint voice seemed to be telling him not to do this.

Just then.

"What the hell is this? Looking to die?" A pirate casually swung his blade at him.

Since Zhu Mang had suddenly charged out from the Marines' side, he naturally assumed Zhu Mang was a Marine.

But the next instant...

Bang!

His head exploded like a watermelon.

"Damn it!" His companions cursed and charged forward.

With several more bangs, their bodies were smashed by fists and kicks into a spray of blood mist, while chunks of corpses flew in every direction.

The Marine vice admirals beside them were about to thank him when all they saw was an arm appear before their eyes.

Splash—

Blood rained down from the air, falling onto Zhu Mang's face and bringing with it a trace of coolness.

A savage, sinister smile appeared on Zhu Mang's face. "Trash. Too weak..."

As he spoke, he suddenly froze.

"No, this isn't me. I'm Zhu Mang, an Earthling!"

"No, I'm the Saiyan Gebinz!"

"No, I'm Zhu Mang!"

"Gebinz!"

"Who am I?"

Zhu Mang stood there blankly, bathed in blood. The expression on his face kept changing, sometimes pained, sometimes savage.

"Die, monster!"

At that moment, several pirates charged at him again with their weapons raised.

They were the companions of the pirates he had killed just now.

The dual-bladed swordsman Knight of the Sea Doma swung his two blades coated in Armament Haki, viciously slashing toward Zhu Mang's neck.

Yet Zhu Mang remained rooted to the spot, completely oblivious to it!
