Launch

Goku sat on the Somersault Cloud, thinking that he should go find Launch. However, the original story had never specified her exact location. So he turned and asked Krillin behind him, "Do you know where there are any railroad tracks?"

Krillin froze for a moment, wondering why Goku had suddenly asked about railroad tracks. Still, he thought for a bit and pointed in a direction. "There seems to be a set of tracks over there. I heard someone mention them."

Goku nodded, adjusted their course, and flew toward the place Krillin had indicated.

Meanwhile, in a Western-style town, there was a bustling bar. A sign reading "Welcome" hung at its entrance, while noisy music and flirtatious laughter spilled from within. Several customers in cowboy outfits sat around tables playing cards, and a few bounty notices were posted on the walls.

One of them was unmistakably Launch. The Launch in the picture was pretty and mysterious, drawing the bounty hunters' attention. One of them was a tall, burly man with a cowboy hat perched atop his head, his gaze roaming around the bar. He was the town's most famous bounty hunter. Having heard that Pachi would be appearing here soon, he had come to the bar early and quietly waited for her arrival.

"I'll definitely catch her this time!" A sinister smile crept across his lips.

A blue-haired girl carrying a bag walked into the bar. She was slender and had an extraordinary air about her. The moment she entered, everyone in the bar jumped in fright, thinking Launch had arrived. Looking closer, they realized that the girl had blue hair, while Launch was blonde, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing how beautiful the girl was, the bounty hunter's heart stirred. He promptly approached her and ordered her a whiskey. Just as he was about to strike up a conversation, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew outside, sending dust swirling into the bar. The dust irritated the girl's nose, and she sneezed. In that instant, her body began to change. Her hair turned golden, and her expression instantly became fierce. She had transformed into Launch, frightening everyone out of their wits.

"Launch is here!" someone cried out. The crowd immediately fell into a panic and scattered in all directions.

Launch smiled faintly, but she had no intention of letting them go. She kicked the bounty hunter flying, and amid his terrified scream, she deftly pulled a machine gun from her bag and began spraying the crowd with bullets. Gunfire thundered through the bar as glasses, tables, and chairs exploded and flew apart amid flashes of fire.

Launch coolly put away her weapon and walked out through the front entrance, leaving chaos and terror behind her.

Launch rode her motorcycle to the middle of the railroad tracks near town. She stopped, staring coldly down the tracks ahead. A hint of cunning shone in her eyes; she had clearly planned everything out. She took a rocket launcher from her backpack, adjusted its sights, and waited quietly.

Before long, a train whistle sounded in the distance, and Launch's lips curled into a smile. As the train drew closer, she aimed the rocket launcher at her target and pulled the trigger. A deafening blast followed as the rocket tore through the sky and struck the locomotive with perfect accuracy. Sparks flew everywhere, and the train cars instantly lurched and toppled askew.

Seeing this, Launch charged into the train car without hesitation. The car was a complete mess, with passengers fleeing in terror, while she swiftly grabbed a large bag of money and stuffed it into her backpack. Her movements were smooth and efficient, without the slightest delay.

Once the bag was full of money, Launch quickly backed out of the train car, jumped onto her motorcycle, started the engine, and sped away in a cloud of dust.

The nearby police received the report, and two officers immediately drove after Launch in a patrol car. The siren blared harshly, and as they accelerated, the officers soon spotted Launch amid the dust ahead. Launch glanced back at the police car, swiftly drew her pistol, and the two sides exchanged gunfire as the officers pursued her.

Just then, several strands of hair unfortunately flew into her nose. Launch's eyes widened, and she cried out, "Oh no!" Then she sneezed violently and instantly turned back into blue-haired Launch. Losing her balance, she tumbled heavily off the motorcycle.

The two officers saw this, quickly stopped their car, and pointed their pistols at her. "Launch, you're under arrest!"

Launch panicked and wailed, "Help!"

Goku and Krillin, flying overhead on the Somersault Cloud, happened to hear her cry. Goku knew it had to be Launch calling for help, so he immediately rode the Somersault Cloud toward her.

Goku jumped from the Somersault Cloud, flipped several times through the air, and landed steadily on the ground. He rushed at one of the officers, launched a flying kick into the man's abdomen, and knocked him unconscious with a muffled groan.

At the same time, Goku rapidly unleashed a series of kicks at the other officer, mercilessly knocking him unconscious as well. Goku walked over to Launch, helped her up, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Goku and Krillin looked at blue-haired Launch and could not help admiring how beautiful and sexy she was. Although Launch had two personalities, she was innocent and adorable in her blue-haired state.

"We'll take you back to meet Master Roshi. The old man will be very happy," Goku said.

Innocent Launch paused slightly, then agreed. "Sure! I want to meet this Master Roshi too."

So Goku had Launch sit in front, while Krillin lay across Goku's back, and the three of them rode the Somersault Cloud together.

"Flying feels amazing!" Launch shouted excitedly. The wind gently brushed through her hair, as though all her worries had been left behind.

Amid their laughter and cheerful voices, the Somersault Cloud swiftly carried them toward Master Roshi's island.

Goku and the others returned to the island. At that moment, Master Roshi was using the toilet inside the house. Goku shouted, "Old man, we brought back a lively, cute girl!"

Hearing this, Master Roshi hurried out of the bathroom. The moment he saw Launch, his eyes lit up and blood gushed from his nose. Then he shouted at Goku and Krillin, "You two are officially my disciples starting today!"

Goku and Krillin exchanged a look, their hearts filled with joy. Innocent Launch merely smiled, but that smile made Master Roshi even happier.

"I'm Launch," she introduced herself, her voice clear and pleasant. "Hello!"

"I'm Master Roshi. Welcome to my island!" Master Roshi hurriedly replied, his gaze still wandering over Launch as if he wanted to know more about the adorable girl.

"I really like the environment here. It feels just like a resort!" Launch looked around, her eyes full of curiosity and excitement about her new surroundings.

Seeing this, Master Roshi secretly rejoiced and quickly asked, "Then would you be willing to stay here for a while?"

"Of course!" Launch agreed without hesitation, filled with anticipation for the mysterious island.
