Dragon Ball: Reborn as a Saiyan, They Covet Me

Shu piloted the aircraft, while Mai carried the bag containing the Dragon Ball with a look of triumph on her face.

How could Bulma not be surprised to see that face?

In the future timeline, Mai was the leader of the Resistance Army.

She was the one who led the last of humanity to survive, and she was the last hope for mankind.

Trunks had fought Goku Black many times.

After failing and sustaining injuries, he had been saved by Mai on several occasions.

In Bulma's eyes, Mai was her daughter-in-law.

But thinking about it now, Mai was already this old.

It meant Mai was even older than Goku; it was just that she had spent her whole life following Pilaf, taking too many detours, and it had taken her many years to mature.

Logically speaking, if Trunks were to marry her, her son would actually be the one getting the short end of the stick.

Just as Bulma was lost in thought, Son Goku shouted, "Power Pole, extend!"

Hearing Goku's shout, Bulma's body trembled!

She hurriedly reached out to stop Goku's Power Pole.

"Wait, Goku!"

Fortunately, because Bulma intervened, Son Goku stopped.

Otherwise, if that strike had landed, it wouldn't just have smashed the aircraft; Mai would have been killed by the blow or fallen from the aircraft to her death.

Stopped by Bulma, Son Goku looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong, Bulma? Why did you stop me?

If they fly too far away, I won't be able to hit them."

Bulma breathed a sigh of relief. "Goku, you have to learn to have compassion for the weak.

It's just a Dragon Ball; you still have one, and it's useless for them if they can't collect all seven.

We have the Dragon Radar, so we can just find it again."

In truth, Son Goku hadn't intended to take the lives of Mai and Shu.

After all, those two clowns, along with their boss Pilaf, were purely comedic characters.

Even if they were allowed to fulfill their wish to rule the Earth, it wouldn't matter.

Only those who possess absolute power can truly rule the Earth.

Making a wish to Shenron wouldn't be of much use; at most, they would just become weak kings.

Hearing Bulma's logic, Goku nodded.

"That makes sense. We have the Four-Star Dragon Ball, and we have the Dragon Radar, so it'll be easy to find them."

Bulma put her hands on her hips and looked up at the sky, a hint of disappointment appearing on her face.

"It's a pity that the Flying Nimbus was blown apart by a cannonball; we don't have any transportation now..."

However, she wasn't too dejected.

In a past life, Goku's Flying Nimbus had been melted by the mucus spat out by Tambourine, but he had later obtained another one.

It was also at that time that Bulma learned there were many Flying Nimbus clouds atop Korin Tower.

It was just that there were too few pure-hearted people in this world, and very few could ride one.

Unexpectedly, Goku said, "Bulma, try calling for the Flying Nimbus again.

It was only blown apart; it might still be able to recover."

Bulma blinked her eyes in curiosity, then she raised her voice and shouted.

"Flying Nimbus!"

Sure enough, with a "whoosh," the Flying Nimbus flew over from the horizon once again.

Seeing that the Flying Nimbus had returned completely intact, Bulma became excited.

"Hahaha, great! Goku, you guessed right!

The Flying Nimbus is still here, this is wonderful! We don't have to travel on foot, hahahaha..."

As she spoke, Bulma vaulted and jumped onto the Flying Nimbus.

"Goku, hurry up and get on! The Flying Nimbus is fast; let's hurry and chase that aircraft!"

Son Goku was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped onto it.

"Here I come!"

Chapter 22: The Beautiful Girl's Kiss

Pilaf's castle.

Mai and Shu both bowed in apology.

"We are sorry, Lord Pilaf!"

"We should have counted them at the time!"

Pilaf looked at the Dragon Radar, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips.

"It doesn't matter. The radar shows the last Dragon Ball is heading toward us.

It looks like they've already caught up."

"What?"

"So fast?"

Mai and Shu looked at the radar in surprise.

"It's true. Could their cloud have been fixed? How is it so fast?"

Shu sighed, "Not only that, they are heading precisely in our direction.

It's as I suspected, they must have a Dragon Radar too!"

Mai nodded in agreement, "That's right. Without a radar, it would have been impossible for them to collect six Dragon Balls.

It's just that they are so mean, actually separating one of the Dragon Balls.

It left us one short. How hateful."

Pilaf laughed loudly, "Hehehehe, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, we are about to collect all seven Dragon Balls.

Whew~

It's truly lonely at the top!

I, King Pilaf, have endured so many hardships, and finally, I can rule the world!

Hahahahaha..."

Suddenly, Mai stared at the Dragon Radar, stunned.

"Lord Pilaf, look, it seems they are turning back."

Pilaf: "What? What's going on?"

Shu: "Could it be that they saw how magnificent our castle is and got scared?"

Pilaf's eyes lit up.

"Shu makes a good point.

It can't be helped. My power is immense, and my foundation is too strong;

I can't hide it even if I want to!

To think I scared the prey away. What a pity...

Ahahahaha..."

Mai asked, "Then, King Pilaf, what should we do?"

"The two of you take the robots and chase them down. The Dragon Ball must be obtained!"

"Yes, my King!"

With that, the two of them ran rapidly toward the machine room.

On the Flying Nimbus, both Son Goku and Bulma saw Pilaf's castle.

They stopped in the sky not far from the castle.

Bulma sighed, "I didn't expect it to be this close. We reached their castle before we even caught up to them."

Son Goku turned his head to look at Bulma.

"What should we do? Should we storm in, or should I use the Kamehameha to blow up this castle?"

Just kidding. If she let Son Goku blow up the castle, they would all die.

Although they stole the Dragon Ball, the crime didn't warrant that!

Bulma surveyed the surroundings, looked at the castle, and then looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the sun had already set.

Night was falling fast.

A full moon hung in the sky, its face half-hidden by veil-like clouds.

Seeing this, Bulma suddenly remembered.

Although history had diverged slightly, it was eerily similar.

In her past life, on the night they searched for the final Dragon Ball, many of them had been trapped in Pilaf's castle.

In that desperate situation, Goku had seen the full moon, transformed into a Great Ape, and destroyed Pilaf's castle.

It was only when Puar transformed into scissors and cut off Goku's tail that the crisis was averted.

Now, the full moon was about to emerge, and Goku still had his tail; danger was imminent!

She spoke immediately, "Goku, let's not worry about finding the Dragon Ball for now. It's dangerous here, let's leave for a moment."

As she spoke, Bulma steered the Flying Nimbus away, flying in the opposite direction.

Son Goku looked puzzled.

"Bulma, we're about to find our Dragon Ball, why are we leaving? Are you worried I can't beat them?"

Bulma hurriedly tore a strip of cloth from her clothes.

"Goku, how about we play a game?"

Bulma suggested, adopting a playful tone.

Son Goku looked at the strip of cloth, even more confused. "What game?"
