The Two Mistaken for Monsters

Little Goku walked over to a flat rock, took off his soaked clothes to dry them, and then turned to look at the fish in the stream. As they swam about freely, a bright idea struck him, and he dipped his tail into the water.

His tail swayed gently in the water, acting just like a natural fishing hook.

Before long, a blue fish much larger than Little Goku himself was lured in by his tail.

After a brief struggle to subdue it with his strength, Little Goku dragged the large blue fish onto the bank.

"What a huge harvest today, a huge harvest indeed!" Little Goku shouted in a cheerful tone as he dragged the giant fish along on his way back.

However, this peaceful atmosphere was soon shattered by the sound of a rushing engine.

"Bulma, drive steadily. There's someone ahead, be careful not to hit them!" Zhou Zilong, sitting in the passenger seat, reminded Bulma, who was behind the wheel.

"I'm just too excited!" Bulma looked back at Zhou Zilong with an apologetic glance before focusing on driving the car once more.

Little Goku sensed a powerful gust of wind approaching. He looked up to see a car rushing toward him. Startled, he tried to dodge, but it was too late. The rear of the car slammed hard into him and the fish he had caught, sending both him and the fish tumbling through the air.

"We really did hit someone, Zilong. Let's go check on the situation!" Bulma said, feeling guilty.

She immediately stopped the car, preparing to get out with Zhou Zilong to see what had happened.

Just then, Little Goku stood up. He looked at Bulma and Zhou Zilong in the car, his eyes flashing with fury: "You wretched monsters, trying to steal my food, are you? I won't let you get away with it!"

Just as Bulma and Zhou Zilong were about to step out, the two of them in the car immediately felt the vehicle being lifted into the air.

After lifting the car, Little Goku shouted, "Go to hell, you stinking monsters! I won't let you succeed!"

In the blink of an eye, the car was tossed away by Little Goku. It rolled in the air before landing on the ground with a loud "thud."

"How dare you ruin my car! I'm furious!" Bulma said angrily as she pulled out a gun from a capsule and scrambled out of the car.

"A monster inside a monster's belly!" Little Goku said in surprise, clutching a red staff in his hand.

"I am not a monster!" Bulma retorted, aiming the muzzle of her gun at Little Goku.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" After speaking, Bulma fired several shots in succession. The little boy was knocked back several steps before falling to the ground.

"That hurts! What kind of sorcery is this?" Little Goku asked, clutching his head while sitting on the ground.

"Damn it, see how I deal with you!" Little Goku shouted again in anger.

After getting up, Little Goku gripped his staff and charged toward the car.

"Little brother, stop. We aren't monsters," said Zhou Zilong as he emerged from the wrecked car.

Zhou Zilong smiled gently and extended the index finger of his right hand, easily tapping the staff that Little Goku was swinging toward him. With a crisp "ding," the staff was effortlessly deflected, and Little Goku lost his balance due to his own momentum.

"You're still too green; you're no match for me!" Zhou Zilong said calmly, his eyes revealing a hint of warmth and confidence.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Little Goku stepped back and charged at Zhou Zilong again. However, this time his attack was even more ferocious yet equally powerless. With another light tap from Zhou Zilong, Little Goku was sent flying once more, crashing into a large tree.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Little Goku cried out, clutching his forehead. He struggled to climb up from the ground, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

"Monster, you win. You can have my fish!" Little Goku said helplessly, clutching the large blue fish in his hand.

"Little brother, we are humans just like you, not monsters!" Zhou Zilong walked up to Little Goku and explained gently.

He reached out his hand, wanting to help Little Goku up.

"Wait, let me check!" Little Goku stepped back warily and began to look Zhou Zilong and Bulma over carefully.

He walked around the two of them, observing every detail.

"It seems you two are indeed humans. Aside from my grandpa, you are the first humans I've ever seen," Little Goku said after finishing his inspection.

"But why do you look different from us?" Little Goku asked curiously, pointing at Bulma's chest.

"I'm a girl, of course I'm different!" Bulma said with a sigh after hearing Little Goku's words.

"So you're a girl! Grandpa told me that when you meet a girl, you must be gentle!" Little Goku said with pure innocence, his words filled with sincerity and kindness.

Both Zhou Zilong and Bulma were amused by Little Goku's words. They felt that although the little boy was a bit impulsive and naive, he was incredibly adorable.

"Since we are all human, that makes us friends!" Zhou Zilong extended his hand, wanting to make peace with Little Goku.

Little Goku hesitated for a moment, but eventually reached out and shook Zhou Zilong's hand. A brilliant smile appeared on his face, as if all misunderstandings and barriers had vanished into thin air.

"Little brother, what is your name?" Zhou Zilong asked, now knowing exactly who the young boy was.

"My name is Sun Wukong. What about you?" Little Goku blinked his bright eyes.

"My name is Zhou Zilong—you can call me Zilong. This is Bulma, my fiancée!" Zhou Zilong introduced with a smile. His words caused a blush to rise on Bulma's cheeks, but she still nodded shyly.

"Zilong, Bulma, come to my house. I'll treat you to some fish!" Sun Wukong hoisted the giant fish and excitedly invited the two to his home.

"Sounds good!" Zhou Zilong agreed without hesitation.

"Zilong, your martial arts are so amazing. I couldn't even touch you once just now," Sun Wukong said on the way.

"That's because I've been training for many more years than you. I believe you'll catch up in the future," Zhou Zilong said, encouraging Little Goku.

"I'll work hard at my training, and when the time comes, remember to spar with me again!" Little Goku said happily.

"No problem," Zhou Zilong replied.

At this moment, Zhou Zilong also used his scouting ability to check the current stats of Little Goku, the original protagonist of Dragon Ball.
