Galactic Patrol Elite Jaco

Inside Capsule Corporation.

Seeing Gohan, Bulma's eyes lit up. She walked over with a radiant smile, clearly delighted.

Knowing that Gohan was going to help her prepare a birthday gift made her even more enthusiastic.

After all, Bulma was always this passionate toward people with real power!

"Gohan, wow, I never expected you to help me prepare the first-place prize for my birthday. Hehe, do you have any good suggestions?"

"I heard that after you compared notes with Vegeta and Goku, you actually beat them both. That's amazing! You could say Gohan is the strongest in terms of real power now!"

Bulma's face beamed with joy as she leaned in, continuing with a laugh.

"Oh, right, Gohan. If I ever need help in the future, you have to assist me. Of course, I'll pay for it!"

Using money to win him over was something Gohan was actually susceptible to, so he immediately agreed with a smile.

"Aunt Bulma, if I have some free time, I can help you with a few small things!"

Bulma let out a hearty laugh, her eyes sharp as she said, "Gohan, no need to call me Aunt. You can just call me Big Sister!"

Gohan: "..."

He remembered that Bulma was already over forty, yet she actually wanted him to call her Big Sister?

Feeling a chill run down his spine, Gohan quickly found an excuse. "Right, I want to find Jaco. You know, the Galactic Patrolman—you two are on good terms."

"Only by finding him can I help you prepare your birthday gift!"

Bulma's eyes lit up; she had almost forgotten that she'd known Jaco since she was a child.

Since he was a Galactic Patrolman, he knew quite a lot of things!

If they were talking about finding a gift from across the entire universe, Jaco was the perfect person. Her face brightened, and without a second thought, she nodded and went to contact him.

"Right, I almost forgot. That guy Jaco knows the galaxy inside and out; he understands a lot of things."

"Hehe, I'll go make a call and have him come to Earth!"

With that, she went to find her space communication device.

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for half an hour, Bulma finally held it in her hands and pressed the switch.

A flash of light appeared in the sky, and a spaceship dove down from not far away.

However, given the speed, it was clearly not a voluntary summons!

That Bulma had installed some kind of special device on Jaco's spaceship.

BOOM!

With a loud crash, the spaceship descending from high altitude slammed directly into the ground, shattering the earth beneath it.

The ship nearly exploded on impact.

Looking disheveled, Jaco—who resembled an Ultraman—crawled out of the ship, coughing incessantly. The moment he emerged, he started shouting at Bulma.

"Bulma, you... you're trying to kill me! Damn it, when did you install this kind of device in my Galactic Elite spaceship?"

"I was in the middle of a mission when the ship suddenly lost control and used Instant Transmission to crash into Earth! Bulma, you—!"

Jaco was furious. He had been in the middle of a mission when his ship suddenly lost control.

It had suddenly dove down, headed for Earth, and landed right at Bulma's house.

He knew perfectly well that this had to be Bulma's doing!

Bulma laughed, and seeing Jaco approaching in a huff, she immediately pulled Gohan over.

She smiled and said, "Jaco, it wasn't me who wanted you; Gohan has something he needs your help with."

The Galactic Elite looked arrogant. Seeing Gohan, he curled his lip and shot him a disgruntled look.

With his hands on his hips, he acted quite haughty. "Hey, what exactly do you want with me? Damn it, as a Galactic Elite, I'm very busy."

"I don't have time to deal with trivial matters. I've recently been capturing several super-criminals—criminals who threaten the entire universe!"

Gohan remained calm and said flatly, "I want to go see Zuno, the all-knowing."

Jaco found this utterly ridiculous and said with dissatisfaction, "Lord Zuno usually requires people to wait in line to ask questions, and the queue is already thousands of years long."

"How could you possibly see him just because you want to?"

Gohan replied casually, "Just take me there."

He knew the guy had a queue, but that was for people who followed the rules. For those who didn't—like Zamasu—you could just beat them up, and they'd answer your questions obediently enough.

His strength already towered over the entire universe. As long as the God of Destruction hadn't awakened, he was the strongest person in Universe 7.

If he asked a question, who would dare not answer?

Gohan's words made Jaco burst into laughter. He couldn't help but sneer, "As a Galactic Elite, how could I possibly help you with such a boring task?"

"My time is very precious. Bulma, don't call me over for such boring things next time!"

The guy acted all high and mighty, and with no intention of agreeing, he turned to leave.

That's just how this guy is; he's likely been thinking of himself as Bulma's little sidekick since the very beginning.

A mere, ordinary Earthling?

Gohan casually raised his hand, and the moment the other party tried to leave, he fired an Energy Cannon that struck the ground not far away.

BOOM!

With a thunderous roar, a crater appeared on the ground nearby, even larger than the one left by the impact of his spaceship.

Jaco was startled, staring at the massive hole in front of him with a look of utter bewilderment.

Turning his head, he finally began to take Gohan seriously. Could this guy actually be incredibly powerful?

Bulma covered her mouth to hide a smile, leaned in, and whispered to Jaco.

"You're in trouble now. Do you have any idea where Gohan ranks in strength on Earth?"

Hearing Bulma's words, Jaco looked confused. "Since when? Is, is this guy even stronger than Vegeta?"

Bulma shook her head with a smile and held up two fingers. "He's stronger than two Vegetas combined! Kakarot, the Saiyan who defeated King Frieza, and my husband Vegeta—even if you added the two of them together, they still wouldn't be a match for him!"

Jaco's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe it; Gohan's strength was truly terrifying!

Two such monstrously powerful people combined couldn't even compare to this guy!

If that Energy Cannon from earlier had hit him, he would have been sent straight to the afterlife.

Trembling all over, he immediately put on a flattering smile; this guy changed his attitude faster than flipping a page.

With a completely different expression, he leaned in and said, "Uh, Lord Gohan!"

"That's not what I meant earlier. Ah, I just remembered, I've been on vacation lately and have plenty of free time. I can take Lord Gohan to see Lord Zuno. Shall we head out now?"

Gohan curled his lip. This guy really only responds to force!

"Take me there," he said with a calm expression.

With that, he stepped directly onto the spaceship!

Watching Gohan enter the ship, Jaco let out a sigh of relief and complained bitterly to Bulma.

"Bulma, you almost got me killed! Why didn't you tell me sooner that this guy was such a monster, even stronger than Vegeta?"

"I was almost killed by him!"

Bulma burst into laughter. "See if you dare ignore me again. Gohan is my sidekick now, helping me get a gift for my birthday party."

"Gohan, wait for me! I'm coming with you!"

Bulma, always eager for excitement, hopped inside, intending to tag along!

Jaco shook his head. He didn't dare provoke Gohan now; just looking at him made him fearful.

This guy, who was stronger than Vegeta, could wipe him out with a single move at any moment!

Sitting in the pilot's seat, he kept glancing over, dying to ask what Gohan wanted with Lord Zuno.

But when the words reached his lips, he didn't have the guts to say them!

Despite his imposing appearance, he was actually a coward at heart, and since his own strength wasn't much to speak of, he could only act tough in front of Bulma. In front of a Saiyan like Gohan, he was as obedient as a well-behaved child, not daring to cause any trouble.

Bulma, watching from the side, couldn't help but find it amusing.

She leaned in, teasing Jaco on purpose. "Jaco, what's wrong? Why have you suddenly gone quiet?"

"Are you scared of Gohan? By the way, Gohan, what exactly do you need from that guy?"

Only then did Bulma realize she was curious, wondering why Gohan was looking for this so-called Lord Zuno.

"I need to find him to ask about the whereabouts of the Super Dragon Balls," Gohan replied calmly.

"I recall there are a few Super Dragon Balls in Universe 6 and Universe 7. If you gather all seven, they can grant any wish. Even things Shenron can't do, they can accomplish!"

Bulma's eyes lit up, and she became visibly excited.

"Super Dragon Balls? Yes! That's perfect! Hahaha, now I have a goal! For my birthday party, my grand prize is going to be the Super Dragon Balls!"

"Jaco, hurry up! Take us to find Lord Zuno so we can ask about the Super Dragon Balls!"

Jaco, whose head was being grabbed by Bulma, felt utterly miserable and speechless. "Bulma, my ship is already going as fast as it can."

"Stop squeezing my head! Why is my life so tragic?"

Jaco, depressed as Bulma kept rubbing his face, piloted the ship toward another planet.

Jaco's spaceship was fast, capable of traveling through space-time between two planets in the blink of an eye.

Even at a distance of tens of thousands of light-years, it was only a matter of minutes.

Based on Jaco's knowledge of the galaxy, it would only take half an hour to reach the planet where Lord Zuno resided.

As the ship landed, he cast a wary glance at Gohan before finally speaking up. "You have to wait in line to ask Lord Zuno a question."

"I don't think we'll even be able to get through the door!"

Gohan stepped off the ship, looked at the planet before him, and curled his lip coldly.

"I'll make him tell me the location of the Super Dragon Balls himself!"

With that, he walked straight inside. Bulma, never one to shy away from trouble and always eager for excitement, followed right behind him, unafraid as long as Gohan was there.

She hurried to catch up, wearing a wide, beaming smile.
