Goku and Bulma arrived in a small town. When the residents saw Bulma dressed in a bunny girl outfit, they panicked and ran off to hide.

Bulma froze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Am I so beautiful that they don't dare come near me?"

Goku shook his head and could not help laughing. "Bulma, maybe it's because you're dressed so unusually. They probably think you're strange."

Bulma frowned. "No way, right? I just wanted to look a little cuter."

Just as they were discussing it, two Rabbit Gang members sprang out from the side.

When the Rabbit Gang members saw Bulma's bunny ears, they paused in surprise. "You're not with the Rabbit Gang, are you?"

Bulma asked curiously, "What's the Rabbit Gang?"

Seeing how pretty Bulma was, the Rabbit Gang members began plotting. This girl looks nice. We can take her back. They moved toward Bulma, preparing to abduct her.

Bulma screamed in fright, "Goku, they're bad guys! Hurry up and beat them!"

Goku immediately stepped forward and mercilessly punched one of the Rabbit Gang members, killing him on the spot.

"Call your leader over!" Goku ordered the remaining member.

The Rabbit Gang member hurriedly activated his communicator and contacted the Rabbit Gang Leader. Then Goku killed him with a single punch as well, mercilessly and effortlessly eliminating the two threats.

"See? Nothing to be afraid of," Goku said to Bulma.

Before long, a rabbit-shaped car stopped in front of Goku and Bulma. A tall rabbit-man jumped out of it—it was none other than the Rabbit Gang Leader. He looked around and asked, "Where are my two underlings?"

Goku gave a disdainful smile and said flatly, "I killed them."

The Rabbit Gang Leader flew into a rage, but quickly calmed down. His eyes shifted as he came up with a plan. He knew his greatest advantage was being able to turn anyone who touched him into a carrot, so he held out his palm, pretending to surrender as he slowly approached Goku.

Goku sneered inwardly. He had seen through the trick from afar, swiftly pulled the Power Pole from behind his back, and shouted, "Power Pole, extend!"

The Power Pole instantly lengthened and shot toward the Rabbit Gang Leader. Before he could react, he was launched into the sky by the pole, flying away like a meteor.

Bulma stared wide-eyed and asked in shock, "Goku, where did you send him?"

Goku retracted the Power Pole and answered with an easy smile, "I sent him to the moon! People like him belong somewhere with no one around to bother them."

After Goku effortlessly wiped out the Rabbit Gang, the residents of the small town finally dared to emerge from their hiding places. They cautiously looked over Goku and Bulma, their eyes full of surprise and gratitude. An elderly resident stepped forward and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, thank you so much! We've always been oppressed by the Rabbit Gang. Now we can finally return to our normal lives!"

Bulma smiled. "No need to thank us. We were just passing through." Goku merely waved his hand with an unconcerned expression.

Goku and Bulma sped along on their motorcycle, the scenery on both sides flashing past as their anticipation for the next Dragon Ball grew stronger. However, in a dark castle far away, Emperor Pilaf watched them like a hawk. He said to Mai, "Hurry up, hurry up! Or I'll feed you to the robots!"

Forced to work faster, Mai anxiously glanced at Emperor Pilaf. At last, she finished developing the Dragon Radar. Pilaf burst out laughing as he looked at the new device. "With this, I can find all the Dragon Balls and fulfill my dream of ruling the world!"

Emperor Pilaf sat in his gloomy castle, staring intently at the Dragon Radar Mai had just developed. The flashing points on the screen showed that six Dragon Balls had gathered in one place—the location was Goku and the others. Pilaf smiled sinisterly and muttered to himself, "That brat actually collected so many Dragon Balls for me. How convenient."

He turned to Shu beside him and ordered, "Shu! Mai! Take your robots and snatch all those Dragon Balls back for me!"

Shu immediately stood at attention, pressed the controller in his hand, and replied with a confident smile, "Emperor Pilaf! I guarantee those little brats won't even get the chance to resist!" He then strode toward the underground warehouse and climbed into the robot specially designed for combat.

Accompanied by a thunderous roar of engines, Shu and Mai set off in their robots, racing toward Goku and Bulma's location. At that moment, only one thing was on Shu's mind: once he got the Dragon Balls, Emperor Pilaf would richly reward him when he returned!

Meanwhile, Goku sat on Bulma's motorcycle, instantly becoming alert. Though he looked relaxed on the surface, he knew Pilaf would send his men to steal the Dragon Balls. At that moment, he noticed a black shadow rapidly approaching in the distance. Goku's instincts told him it had to be one of Pilaf's underlings.

Shu aimed his robot at Goku and Bulma and fired a bomb. The bomb arced through the air and shot straight toward them. Goku reacted quickly, immediately pulled out the Power Pole, and knocked the bomb back. It exploded against the robot, shaking it so violently that it nearly toppled over.

Although the robot had suffered heavy damage, its defenses remained formidable. Shu struggled to steady it and attempted to counterattack. Seeing this, Goku leaped off the motorcycle without hesitation and charged toward the robot with the Power Pole in hand. Shu had only just gotten back up when he saw Goku's Power Pole smashing down again. After several blows, the robot cracked apart, and Shu inside had already been knocked unconscious.

Goku spared his life, thinking that the kid might prove useful someday.

Bulma was amazed by Goku's strength and sighed, "Goku, you're incredible! If it weren't for you, we might really have been in trouble."

From afar, Mai saw Shu's defeat and was startled. She immediately fled back to Emperor Pilaf's castle. She hurried into the castle and reported, "Emperor Pilaf, the mission failed! Shu was defeated by Goku!"

Emperor Pilaf flew into a rage when he heard this and slammed the table. "That useless fool! He couldn't even handle a child!" He quickly checked the Dragon Radar and discovered that Goku and Bulma were heading this way. Thinking of the six Dragon Balls they had gathered, Pilaf said with a sinister smile, "Excellent. They're delivering themselves right to my doorstep!"

Goku and Bulma gradually approached the castle. It looked dark and ominous, and Goku suddenly realized, The castle is full of traps. He decided not to rush in recklessly, but to wait for Emperor Pilaf to come out.

Bulma asked softly, "Goku, what should we do?"

After thinking for a moment, Goku replied, "We can watch from the outside first and see if there's any opportunity we can use. Pilaf must be even more anxious to get the Dragon Balls."

A mocking voice suddenly rang out from above the castle. "Haha, you finally came! I've been waiting for you for so long. The Dragon Balls are right here with me—come in and take them!" Emperor Pilaf's voice echoed from the castle, full of smugness and provocation.
