Pilaf Gang Attacks

After spending three days at the Ox-King's castle, Zhou Zilong and his group set off once more, heading into the unknown distance to search for the seventh mysterious Dragon Ball.

Before leaving, Zhou Zilong exchanged a storage device disguised as a pendant from Xiao Ling's system shop. He went to the Ox-King's room, handed it over, and explained, "Senior Brother, this is a piece of high-tech equipment I found during my travels. Though it looks like a mere pendant, it contains a vast storage space inside. You can keep your precious items in it—it's both convenient and secure!"

Zhou Zilong did this because he knew the Ox-King's castle had a fated connection to fire. In a few years' time, a massive blaze would descend, destroying many of the valuables within and causing the once-wealthy Ox-King's fortune to shrink significantly.

Zhou Zilong wanted to test whether, if the Ox-King's wealth remained intact, Chi-Chi would still constantly pressure Goku to go out and earn money in the future.

The Ox-King nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, sighing in admiration, "How truly miraculous! You are so thoughtful, Junior Brother, to have thought of gifting me such a practical treasure!"

Zhou Zilong waved his hand, modestly replying, "You overstate it, Senior Brother; it was merely a small effort. I hope this pendant brings you convenience; consider it a token of the bond between us."

The Ox-King nodded, moved, and carefully hung the pendant around his neck.

On the other side, Chi-Chi made a promise to the young Goku who had boarded the car (that he would marry her when they grew up), and the naive Goku agreed without a second thought.

As they continued their journey, Yamcha, who had been secretly tailing them, followed along.

During this time, just as in the original story, Zhou Zilong's group arrived at a town ruled by a Rabbit Man. However, in the face of absolute power, the rabbit's actions were nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Very quickly, the Rabbit Man was crushed by Zhou Zilong's overwhelming strength and sent off to an unknown location to begin a life of hard labor.

During this interval, the group also met a wealthy girl with long purple hair who knew a little martial arts, named Iris. Their acquaintance had come about because of that Rabbit Man.

Iris had arrived at the town ruled by the Rabbit Man precisely because she had taken the place of Bulma from the original story and been turned into a carrot. But just like in the original, with Yamcha's help, Goku successfully rescued the carrot-transformed Iris.

At this moment, the Rabbit Man had set his sights on Zhou Zilong's group, leading to the tragedy of him being crushed.

After helping the town restore peace, Iris joined Zhou Zilong and the others in their search for the Dragon Balls, as she expressed a great desire to see what the legendary Shenron looked like.

Of course, there was also Yamcha, who continued to follow them in secret, hoping to use the Dragon Balls to wish away his weakness of becoming shy whenever he came into contact with the opposite sex.

As they resumed their journey, the group headed toward the location of the final Dragon Ball. Knowing the plot, Zhou Zilong realized he was about to encounter that peculiar trio.

Meanwhile, in a castle, the blue-skinned Pilaf was currently throwing a tantrum because his subordinate, Mai, could not build a Dragon Radar.

After some fussing, Pilaf decided it would be better to go find Zhou Zilong's group directly.

Because when Zhou Zilong's group first set out on their journey, they had already encountered Pilaf and his crew. At the time, Pilaf had accidentally caught sight of the Dragon Ball Goku was carrying, so he had arranged for a mechanical crow to act as a spy and keep tabs on the group.

At this moment, the crow flew over and, through a special method, informed them that Zhou Zilong's group was approaching. Pilaf and his cohorts immediately began formulating a plan to seize the Dragon Balls.

On the other side, Oolong, who was sitting in the front seat driving the car, was having a bit of an argument with Iris over something.

The reason for their quarrel was actually a pair of panties. Just a moment ago, when Iris opened her backpack to look for something, she pulled out a bag of unwashed laundry and noticed that one of her pairs of panties was missing.

Just as Iris was about to ask, the naive and dim-witted Goku, who had witnessed the scene earlier, immediately blurted out that Oolong had taken them. Consequently, Iris began scolding Oolong, and Oolong responded with his usual thick-skinned attitude.

Just like in the original work, Oolong's lecherous nature had not changed, and he still had a peculiar obsession with women's underwear. Of course, Oolong had once tried to steal Bulma's panties, but he had been caught on the spot by Zhou Zilong, who had pranked him to make him behave a little better.

After the argument, Oolong continued to drive the car forward.

After the car had traveled a distance, Mai, who was observing them, picked up a walkie-talkie and said, "Emperor Pilaf, their car just passed location number ten; they are getting closer and closer!"

Pilaf replied from the other end, "Good, proceed according to plan!"

Mai immediately responded, "Yes!"

After responding, Mai spoke into the walkie-talkie again, "Shu, I'm counting on you. Follow the plan!"

"Understood, leave it to me!" replied Shu, who had the appearance of a dog-man, from the other end.

At this moment, Oolong, who was driving, suddenly slammed on the brakes. The reason was that he had started arguing with Iris again. This time, the two were quarreling even more fiercely than before, while the three people watching the show looked on with various expressions.

Of course, the reason for this argument was even more bizarre. Iris, thinking more and more that Oolong was a pervert, told Bulma to be careful and keep her guard up, then proceeded to scold Oolong again, and the two fell into another argument.

Sitting inside a machine, Shu saw the scene of them arguing and said happily, "Great, they're having an internal conflict!"

In his delight, Shu aimed his scope at the car once more.

At this point, the argument finished, and Oolong resumed his heavy responsibility as the driver, continuing to move forward.

On the other side, after making a prediction, Shu immediately fired a small missile from his robot toward the car.

Sensing the danger, Zhou Zilong wrapped his arm around Bulma's slender waist, immediately used his Qi to blast the car door open, grabbed Oolong who was still driving, and shouted, "Prepare to jump! There's an attack coming our way!"

With a "pong," shortly after they jumped from the car, the small missile struck the front of the vehicle, emitting a deafening explosion.

With a "thud," the car, caught in the blast, immediately spun in the air before crashing to the ground with a loud bang.

On the other side, the robot piloted by Shu also came sprinting toward Zhou Zilong's position after its attack hit the target.
