After bidding Master Roshi farewell, Zhou Zilong, Bulma, and Little Goku eagerly set off once again on their adventure to find the remaining Dragon Balls.
Along the way, they passed through a prosperous, wealthy town. Its houses were built in an elegant European style, and shops lined both sides of the streets, their windows packed with all kinds of goods.
Zhou Zilong took six boxes of gold coins and jewelry from the Capsules, treasures they had found in an underwater cave, and decided to exchange them for money to use on their journey.
Bulma was a shopaholic by nature. The moment she saw the bustling town, her eyes lit up, and she excitedly rushed into a shop by the roadside.
Bulma browsed all kinds of unusual items, from pretty clothes and useful gadgets to snacks. Before long, her shopping cart was piled high with all sorts of goods.
Meanwhile, Zhou Zilong took Little Goku to the town's bank.
Zhou Zilong handed the coins and jewelry to the bank staff. After carefully appraising them, they offered him a handsome sum: nine hundred million Dragon Ball Coins!
Zhou Zilong decided to split the money equally among the three of them, giving each person three hundred million, though he knew Bulma wasn't short on money.
After completing the deposit, Zhou Zilong opened a bank account just for Little Goku. The bank card had Little Goku's picture on it and looked very cute. Zhou Zilong placed it in an elegant wallet and handed it to him.
"Goku, you can give this bank card to your future wife to look after," Zhou Zilong said with a smile.
Little Goku took the wallet and curiously examined the bank card inside. He still didn't understand what it was for, but he could feel Zhou Zilong's care and concern for him. He nodded and carefully put the wallet away.
Another day of their journey dawned. Sunlight streamed through the clouds and fell over a quiet village. Zhou Zilong, Bulma, and Little Goku arrived and walked along the village road. Their footsteps echoed through the deserted streets, while the doors and windows of the houses remained shut, as if no one lived inside.
"That's strange. How come there isn't a single person in this village?" Bulma looked around, frowning.
"Maybe they're all still asleep?" Little Goku asked innocently, blinking.
"How could that be? You idiot!" Bulma couldn't help but tease him.
Then she turned to Zhou Zilong. "Zilong, what do you think is going on?"
Zhou Zilong thought for a moment, trying to figure out which part of the story this village fit into, then said, "Let's find a house and go inside to have a look."
The three of them split up to look for a house they could enter. Before long, Little Goku found an orange door. "Knock, knock, knock!" He tapped on it gently, but no one answered. After hesitating for a moment, he punched through the spot where the door was locked and pushed it open.
"Ow, ow, ow!" Little Goku suddenly clutched his head and yelled.
Hearing him, Zhou Zilong and Bulma hurried over to see what was wrong. They found a huge bump swelling on Little Goku's head.
The homeowner was responsible for that bump. Not long after Little Goku entered the house, the man had swung the Li Axe in his hands down at the boy's head. He hadn't managed to split the boy's head open; instead, his axe had shattered against Goku's iron-hard skull.
"So it really was useless!" the middle-aged man said in despair, staring at the ruined axe, which had a chunk missing from its blade.
Pulling the Power Pole from behind him, Little Goku took a fighting stance. "What are you doing? That really hurt! It was dangerous!"
"Lord Oolong, I'm sorry! I was wrong! You can take all the money and food in my house, but please, please spare my daughter!" the middle-aged man begged, kneeling on the floor.
Zhou Zilong and Bulma exchanged glances. They hadn't expected to run into such a misunderstanding. Zhou Zilong stepped forward and helped the man up. "We're not Lord Oolong. We're just travelers passing through. What's been happening in this village? Why is everyone hiding inside?"
The middle-aged man froze at Zhou Zilong's words, then looked up and studied the three of them carefully. Only after seeing that they meant no harm did he relax and explain, "So you're travelers passing through... Some things have been happening in the village lately. Lord Oolong keeps coming here to demand money and food, and he's also been forcing the village's pretty girls to become his brides. Yesterday, he said he'd taken a liking to my daughter and would come to take her away today!"
"That Oolong is just awful!" Bulma said angrily after hearing the man's story.
"That's right! I'm going to teach that Oolong a good lesson! I can't wait to fight him!" Little Goku clenched his fists, his eyes shining with determination.
Knowing what kind of "remarkable character" Oolong was, Zhou Zilong chimed in, "Don't worry. Oolong will be easy to handle. Leave him to us!"
Then Zhou Zilong patted Little Goku on the shoulder. "Goku, Oolong's all yours. When he gets here, go ahead and take him on."
"Really? Great! I get to spar with someone again!" Little Goku said excitedly.
"Can you really drive Lord Oolong away?" another villager asked anxiously after Zhou Zilong and the others agreed to deal with him.
"Don't worry. Leave it to us," Zhou Zilong said firmly, giving them a reassuring look.
"If you can really chase Lord Oolong away, we'll give you whatever reward you want," the villagers offered, willing to pay any price for peace.
"No need. Just give me that Dragon Ball from your village," Bulma said, holding a Dragon Ball that glowed faintly in her hand.
"My radar shows that there's one of those here. That's all the reward we need," Bulma added.
"Is that all? If you chase Lord Oolong away, I'll give it to you!" An old woman pulled a Dragon Ball resembling the one in Bulma's hand from inside her clothes.
It was the Six-Star Ball, one of the Dragon Balls Zhou Zilong and the others had been searching for.
After receiving the old woman's promise, Zhou Zilong and Bulma exchanged smiles and began getting ready.
"Goku, here. Put this on. We'll get you dressed up with Bulma so you'll be ready to take down Oolong later." Zhou Zilong handed Little Goku a pink outfit.
Little Goku obediently took the clothes and changed. Before long, he stood before them wearing the pink outfit and a headband. His youthful face wore an adorably vacant expression, making him look incredibly cute.
