Little Goku's Great Ape Transformation

Utilizing the spatial technique from before, Zhou Zilong opened a hole above the heads of the group in the stone chamber. Carrying Bulma in a bridal style, he feigned a fall and entered the line of sight of Little Goku and his companions.

Seeing the two appear, Little Goku was the first to speak, asking, "Zilong, don't tell me you and Bulma got caught in a trap too!"

Following Little Goku's inquiry, Zhou Zilong indicated that the two of them had also encountered multiple mechanisms after entering the castle before arriving here.

At this moment, the knocked-out Pilaf gang also woke up. Discovering that their wish had fallen through, the three of them walked into the castle in deep frustration. Upon seeing the surveillance footage, an angry Pilaf gang began to take measures against Zhou Zilong and the others.

Seeing this, Pilaf once again activated the mechanisms against the group.

Under the guise of having no other choice, Zhou Zilong and the others fell into a sealed space once more. The difference this time was that the enclosure had a piece of transparent tempered glass fixed above, through which they could see the situation in the sky.

After Pilaf announced his chosen punishment (locking the group inside to be baked to death), everyone except Zhou Zilong began to feel a sense of despair.

At this time, Yamcha's companion Puar, just like in the original story, looked outside at the moon, and Little Goku proceeded to tell them about the monster that appears during a full moon.

Out of curiosity and a death-defying impulse, Oolong, wanting to test if Little Goku was indeed that monster, told Little Goku to take a look at the full moon.

Just like in the original story, after one glance at the full moon, Little Goku's expression immediately began to look wrong.

"Ah—" Little Goku let out an involuntary low roar. His face began to twist, his features gradually blurring until he completely lost his human outline, and his body began to swell and grow larger.

At the same time, black fur surged from beneath his skin like a tide, covering his entire body and completely transforming the once cute and adorable little boy into a vastly different creature—a massive, black-furred giant ape.

Everyone except Zhou Zilong began to feel terrified.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" After transforming into the giant ape, Little Goku broke through the wall of the small space that had imprisoned them and began to roar while waving his arms.

With a "boom," the giant ape-ified Little Goku swung his fist down onto the roof of a building that was slightly shorter than him; the roof collapsed instantly under the immense impact.

"No way, I was just saying that for fun, I didn't think this guy would actually turn into a monster," Oolong said from the other side after reaching an open area, feeling a lingering fear as he watched the mindless Little Goku.

"If it weren't for you, Goku wouldn't have ended up like this," Bulma and Iris retorted from the side in a complaining tone.

"I didn't know! If I had known he would turn into this after looking at the moon, I wouldn't have let him look even if it killed me," Oolong replied, feeling aggrieved.

As they spoke, Little Goku swung another punch down toward the group. Zhou Zilong immediately scooped up Bulma and dodged to the side.

On the other side, Iris, unable to dodge in time, had her foot pinned by a large rock from the collapse. Although she managed to pull her foot out, it was clearly sprained.

However, the mindless Little Goku paid no heed to this and immediately swung another punch.

If Iris were to be hit by this punch, she would surely perish on the spot.

Bulma, having been brought to a safe place by Zhou Zilong, saw this and immediately urged Zhou Zilong to go and rescue Iris, who had become her close friend.

"Hoo!" At this moment, Yamcha, who still suffered from a phobia of women, took a deep breath before Zhou Zilong could move.

Seeing this, Zhou Zilong immediately stopped.

"Come on, get on my back," Yamcha said after taking a deep breath, crouching down.

"Thank you!" Iris replied gratefully, leaning onto his back.

"Master Yamcha, look out!" Puar, not far ahead, exclaimed upon seeing Little Goku's unreasonable punch about to strike.

But at this moment, Yamcha, with his potential fully ignited, ran as if he had wind beneath his feet. The moment Little Goku's fist slammed into the ground, he narrowly escaped to the front.

Meanwhile, in a room on the other side, the Pilaf gang had also woken up due to the noise Little Goku was making. After composing his shocked expression, Pilaf immediately said, "Damn it, how dare you wake up the future King of the World! Mai, Shu, go and teach this stinking ape a lesson!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the three of them climbed into a plane, flew toward Little Goku, and launched a fierce attack.

However, the effect was nil. Their projectile weapons could cause no damage to Little Goku's steel-like body, and for their trouble, the three of them were swatted away by a single swipe from the giant ape.

After swatting the Pilaf gang away, the giant ape-ified Little Goku became even more impulsive, taking his "demolition mode" to the extreme. In an instant, Pilaf's castle had been torn to shreds.

"This won't do. At this rate of destruction, he'll finish tearing this place apart and move on to other areas soon," Bulma said, watching from the open area as Little Goku grew more "enthusiastic" in his destruction.

"It's simple to stop Goku from losing his mind; we just need to cut off his tail," Zhou Zilong said, pointing out the solution.

"In that case, leave it to me!" Hearing Zhou Zilong say this, Yamcha, having made up his mind, spoke up.

Yamcha threw a piece of bluestone, about 1.5 meters long, into the air and began waving his hands, executing his plan.

Soon, a large blade, the same one Yamcha had used to spar with Little Goku when they first met, was fashioned by Yamcha.

Gripping the hilt, Yamcha quickly circled around to Little Goku, leaped high into the air, and swung the blade toward Little Goku's tail.

But the expected result did not occur. The stone blade shattered the moment it struck Little Goku's tail, suffering the same fate as hitting a frozen block of ice with a plastic stick.

Feeling something on his tail, Little Goku swung it, immediately sending Yamcha flying. Yamcha, having no leverage in mid-air, was swatted away and tumbled across the ground, rolling straight for several turns before finally coming to a stop.

"Cough! Cough!" Yamcha let out a few violent coughs after getting up.

At this moment, Little Goku's eyes darted over, discovering the open area where Zhou Zilong and the others were. Devoid of reason, he immediately swung his fist toward them again.

"What? He's actually this strong!" Yamcha exclaimed from the other side.
