Dragon Ball: Reborn as a Saiyan, They Covet Me

Bulma was still crouching there.

Yamcha did not see Bulma, but he did see the short-statured Little Goku.

He froze for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, it's actually just a kid."

"This is a robbery!"

"If you want to live, hand over everything valuable you have on you!"

As he spoke, Yamcha drew his long sword and pointed it at Son Goku.

Just at this moment, Bulma shook the dust off her body, stood up, and looked at Yamcha.

The moment she saw him, an unnamed rage surged within Bulma.

The resentment from her past and present lives flooded her heart in an instant.

In her past life, after searching for the Dragon Balls with Little Goku, Bulma had felt she had found her Prince Charming in Yamcha.

So, she brought him back to West City with her.

However, the good times did not last.

Because of his somewhat handsome appearance and a hint of a bandit's roguish charm, he was very popular with girls.

In West City, many girls flirted with him.

This unlocked his philandering nature, and he spent his days chasing after women, never stopping.

In her past life, because of this unreliable Yamcha, Bulma had wasted the most beautiful dozen years of her youth.

She had even missed out on Son Goku.

Moreover, he was always disappearing, sometimes for years at a time.

Even when Bulma wanted to break up with him, she couldn't find him to talk it through.

Finally, after returning from Namek, Bulma had managed to cut ties with him.

She had thought she would never have any interaction with him again.

She hadn't expected that, having not lost her Capsule Corp Capsule at Gao Village this time, she would instead have her house blown up by this guy.

If this could be tolerated, what could not!

Bulma was furious; she pointed at Yamcha and shouted, "Damn you, you bastard, you actually destroyed my house!"

Then, Bulma turned to look at Goku and commanded, "Goku, beat him up!"

Son Goku blinked in astonishment.

He looked at Yamcha, then turned back to look at Bulma.

A flicker of confusion crossed his eyes once more.

He suspected he had misheard.

Bulma was actually asking him to beat up Yamcha?

That didn't fit her personality at all!

At that moment, a thought flashed through Goku's mind.

He couldn't help but gasp.

The butterfly effect was truly terrifying!

Wasn't she obsessed with handsome guys like Yamcha?

How could she show absolutely no sign of liking handsome men anymore?

Was this even Bulma?

The butterfly effect had actually changed Bulma's aesthetic preferences!

Terrifying!

However, upon further reflection, Goku thought the logic seemed to hold up.

After Future Trunks traveled through time and returned to the past, Android 17 and Android 18, who were supposed to wreak havoc on the world, had changed their personalities and actually become good people.

No matter who looked at them, it was hard to reconcile them with those two murderous demons from the future.

Son Goku took a deep breath, silently accepted this reality, and then looked at Yamcha with a look of pity on his face.

He gripped his right hand with his left, squeezing gently until it cracked.

Exuding a fierce aura, he walked toward Yamcha.

Since Yamcha was still a bandit, beating him up would be an act of justice, wouldn't it?

Initially, Yamcha had been quite arrogant upon seeing Son Goku, but the moment he caught sight of Bulma, his legs turned to jelly.

He suffered from gynophobia.

Yamcha's legs trembled as he stammered, "Damn it, why is there a woman here? Puar, let's get out of here..."

As he spoke, Son Goku's figure flashed, blocking Yamcha's path.

The next instant, Goku drew his Power Pole and pointed it straight at Yamcha.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Just as Goku was about to strike him with the staff, Bulma's voice rang out.

"Goku, just teach him a lesson, as long as you don't kill him, it's fine!"

Hmm, Goku thought, even though Bulma doesn't love handsome guys anymore, she has a kind heart and doesn't like killing.

Coincidentally, neither did he.

Without even looking at Bulma, Goku replied with two words: "Got it!"

In the next moment, Goku flashed toward Yamcha and struck his calf with the staff, causing him to fall flat on his face immediately.

After Yamcha hit the ground, Son Goku unleashed a flawless combo of punches, instantly leaving Yamcha bruised and battered.

By the time Son Goku stopped, Yamcha was lying on the ground, covered in wounds.

Puar, standing to the side, was heartbroken.

"Master, Master!"

"Are you alright? Please, don't die..."

Yamcha opened his swollen eyes, peering through the slits at Puar.

His mouth was crooked, his face was covered in lumps, and he had even lost seven or eight teeth.

"Puar, quick, help me up, let's run..."

Goku stepped aside to let them leave.

Watching the limping Yamcha depart, Bulma finally emerged from the ruins.

She cast a disdainful look at Yamcha's retreating back before turning to Goku.

"My capsule house is destroyed. Since there's no house, let's not rest and just keep moving, shall we?"

Son Goku nodded.

"Alright, it's a good thing I'm half-full. Let's go!"

The Maiden Chi-Chi

Bulma cupped her hands around her mouth like a megaphone.

She shouted toward the sky: "Flying Nimbus!"

The Flying Nimbus appeared in an instant, diving straight down in front of Bulma.

Goku stared at the sight of Bulma and the Flying Nimbus, momentarily dazed.

He had truly never imagined the scene of Bulma riding the Flying Nimbus.

A moment later, Bulma rode the Flying Nimbus, transforming into a streak of golden light as she flew toward the west.

Training through the coldest winter and the hottest summer, Goku could not let his training slide.

He traveled on foot, carrying heavy weights, following Bulma on the Flying Nimbus as they crossed mountains and ridges, heading straight for Fire Mountain.

Three days later...

The two of them felt the weather growing increasingly hot.

Bulma realized that even though Goku was traveling on foot, his speed was fast enough.

The destination of the sixth Dragon Ball—Fire Mountain—was almost here.

It seemed it was time to meet Chi-Chi.

Bulma thought to herself that she had to nip this in the bud.

She had already been reborn, yet she was still trailing closely behind Goku.

If she let him pledge his life to Chi-Chi again, she might as well just find a block of tofu and bash her head against it.

She steered the Flying Nimbus lower, drawing closer to Goku.

"Hey, Goku! Are you hungry yet?"

Goku stopped his light jog and looked up. "A little. Is it time to eat?"

Bulma said, "Our house was destroyed, and we lost a lot of food.

I only have a little bit left in my capsules, not enough for one of your meals.

Here is what I'm thinking:

It's almost dark, so let's call it a day.

I haven't bathed in three days, and I'm itching all over.

Let's find a small town to rest in, have a good meal, and stock up on supplies while we're at it.

Then we can take a bath to cool off and set out again tomorrow. How does that sound?"

Goku looked toward the distance, but there was still no sign of Fire Mountain.

However, thinking back to the scene of Ox-King's castle being swallowed by flames, Goku had already formulated a plan in his mind.

It seemed he wouldn't need to go to the trouble of finding Master Roshi after all.
