Oolong and the Fire Mountain

The three adventurers, Goku, Gine, and Bulma, continued their quest for the Dragon Balls. Goku and Gine were riding on the Flying Nimbus, while Bulma was on a motorcycle. They were exploring a village in search of the fifth Dragon Ball. However, they noticed that there was no one on the streets and the village seemed like a ghost town, or so they thought.

"How strange... This village looks like a ghost town, but I feel like someone is watching us," said Bulma as she observed the surroundings.

"I feel the same. We all need to be careful," said Gine, staying alert.

Goku nodded and said, "Yes, Mom."

"According to the Dragon Radar, the fifth ball should be around here," said Bulma.

Goku and Gine then descended from the Flying Nimbus and decided to go to a house with a sign that read: "Sherman Priest."

"Let's see if anyone's here," said Goku.

Goku knocked on the door, saying, "Hello! Is anyone there?" But he knocked so hard that he ended up punching a hole through the door. Gine put her hand on her face, shaking her head, deciding not to scold Goku this time.

"Now the door's open," said Goku with a smile.

"Hey, Goku, don't you know how to use a door handle?" scolded Bulma.

Goku entered, followed by his mother and Bulma. Suddenly, a man emerged from the darkness with a sharp axe, shouting, "Get out of here!" Just as he was about to attack Goku, Gine reacted quickly and used one finger to destroy the axe's head, preventing the man from attacking her son.

"That was close! Thanks, Mom!" said Goku. Then, annoyed, he said to the man, "Hey! Why did you do that?"

Gine said to her son, "You're welcome, honey." Then Gine crossed her arms, frowning at the man who had tried to attack her son, waiting for an explanation.

"Oh! Please, Mr. Oolong! Please forgive me for attacking you, take whatever you want, but please don't take my daughter," pleaded the middle-aged man, bald with a black mustache and black hair only on the sides of his head, his hands clasped together in supplication.

Gine's expression softened at the man's words, while Goku and Bulma looked at each other, confused.

"It seems they've mistaken us for someone else," said Goku.

"Daddy, it's not him!" shouted a girl in a pink dress who appeared on the scene.

Bulma, annoyed, snapped at the man, "You could have killed him!"

Gine knew that the man with that axe couldn't have killed her son, but it could have caused a painful blow.

"I was just trying to protect my daughter," said the man.

"And I was trying to protect my son," replied Gine.

"Please forgive me, ma'am. I didn't mean to harm your son," said the man, bowing his head in apology while holding his daughter.

"It's alright... Don't worry about it... I would like to apologize for the damage my son did to your door, as he's a strong fighter but unfortunately doesn't always know how to control his strength," said Gine.

"Don't worry, I can easily fix that. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Sherman Priest and this girl here is my daughter Pocawampa," said Sherman Priest.

After the trio of adventurers introduced themselves, Bulma asked, "And who is this Oolong?"

Then Pocawampa began to cry and ran into her father's arms, saying, "He's our worst nightmare!"

Sherman Priest, hugging his daughter, said, "He's a shape-shifting monster who likes to kidnap young women and girls from our village, taking them to his hideout to do who knows what, and no one knows his true form. Yesterday, he took three girls from our village and said my daughter would be next."

Then, several villagers came out of their houses and gathered around Sherman Priest's home.

"What if we capture that monster for you?" said Goku.

"And how do you plan to do that? That guy is a giant monster!" replied Sherman Priest.

"Size doesn't matter," said Gine with a smile.

"That's right! My mom and I are very strong warriors and we've defeated giant guys without much trouble," said Goku with determination.

"One question: Has anyone here seen a ball like this?" asked Bulma, showing the two-star Dragon Ball.

"I've never seen an object like that," replied Sherman Priest.

An old woman named Baozi said, "I have one of those balls. It was an inheritance from my grandmother," she said, showing the six-star Dragon Ball.

"It's a Dragon Ball!" said Gine with a smile.

"I propose a deal: We take care of this Oolong for you, and in exchange, you give us that ball," said Bulma with a smile.

"It's a tempting offer, but can you handle him?" said the old woman Baozi.

"Of course! Goku and Gine are the strongest warriors I know," said Bulma. Then she turned to the little girl Pocawampa and said, "Hey little one, I need a favor. Could you lend us one of your dresses? I have an idea of how to catch this Oolong."

After a while.

_ "Alright, Goku! You look charming!" said Bulma with a smile.

_ "Why do I have to wear these weird clothes?" asked Goku, feeling annoyed and uncomfortable.

_ "Bulma, can you tell me why my son has to wear a dress?" said Gine, looking at Goku strangely.

_ "It's simple! Goku has to pretend to be a girl so Oolong will take him to his hideout. Then, Goku will defeat him and rescue the girls," responded Bulma.

_ "I understand," said Goku.

_ "Or, when Oolong approaches my son, I could grab him and force him to tell me where he's keeping the kidnapped girls," replied Gine.

_ "That's a good idea too," said Bulma.

_ Then they heard loud footsteps and a villager appeared, saying, "Oolong is here!"

All the villagers hid. Bulma watched everything from Sherman Priest's house window, while Gine flew to the roof of a house to keep an eye on her son and ensure nothing bad happened to him. Goku stood in the middle of the road, hiding his face so he wouldn't be recognized.

_ Then a giant red humanoid monster with horns appeared, dressed in a white suit, bringing flowers and said to Goku, "I've come to marry you, little princess." Afterward, Oolong transformed into a handsome man dressed in a white suit. This caused Bulma to come out of the house, drooling with heart-shaped eyes, showing her bust through her white shirt, trying to get Oolong's attention.

_ "Geez! What a vulgar girl... Then she complains about why she can't ride the Flying Nimbus," said Gine, watching Bulma with an uncomfortable look and a big drop of sweat. Then, Gine, now serious, said, "I'd better end this once and for all." Gine flew at high speed and caught Oolong. Then, she lifted him several meters off the ground, holding him and said, "You'd better show your true form to the whole village and tell me where you have the kidnapped girls, or I'll drop you right here."

Meanwhile, the villagers watched in amazement at the Saiyan woman floating in the air, holding Oolong, marveling that she could fly and wondering who she was and how she could fly.

_ Oolong, scared, said, "Alright! Alright! I give up!"

Then Oolong transformed into his true form, a short humanoid pig dressed in a green military outfit and about the same size as Goku, which left everyone present astonished.

_ "Great! Finally, I can take off these uncomfortable clothes! I need to go to the bathroom!" said Goku, running to a tree to urinate.

_ "No way! They tricked me!" said Oolong, angry and horrified to see that the "girl" was actually a boy in disguise.

_ "Well? You'd better tell me where you have the girls if you know what's good for you," said Gine, angry.

Oolong was tied up with a rope held by Goku and confessed to the whole village where the girls were and apologized for all the trouble he had caused.

_ "Those girls better be alright!" said the old woman Baozi, furious.

_ "Ha! I'd say they're more than alright," said Oolong, somewhat annoyed.

Then Oolong led Goku, Gine, Bulma, and all the villagers to his hideout, which to everyone's surprise turned out to be an immense mansion bought with stolen money. Even more surprising was that the kidnapped girls were living a life of luxury, to the point that some said they didn't want to return to the village.

_ "Why do you think I wanted a shy girl as a wife? These girls only care about money and the good life, so take them away from here," said Oolong.

Then, the old woman Baozi fulfilled her part of the deal and gave the Six-Star Dragon Ball she had to Bulma. Afterward, Bulma decided that Oolong should join the group. The group then said their goodbyes to all the villagers who thanked them for their help.

Later, Goku, Gine, Bulma, and Oolong, as the new member, were sailing on a boat down a river.

Gine asked Bulma, "Hey Bulma, why are we bringing Oolong with us?"

"He must have feelings for me," said Oolong with a seductive smile.

"It's simple! His ability to transform could be very useful to us," replied Bulma as she drove the boat.

"Well, I don't want to go. I don't like traveling," said Oolong, annoyed.

"It's really hot around here, I think I'll sleep in my underwear," said Bulma with a smile, causing Gine to look at her with a raised eyebrow and a big drop of sweat.

"Well, on second thought, I guess a nice vacation wouldn't be too bad," said Oolong with a perverted smile.

"Hey Bulma, how much longer until we get there?" asked Goku.

"Hey, where are we going exactly?" asked Oolong.

"Let me see," said Bulma, looking at her phone's GPS. Then Bulma said, "We're going to Fire Mountain, which is where the next Dragon Ball is located."

"Fire Mountain?! Are you crazy?! Don't you know that the giant King Gyuma, better known as Ox-King, lives there?!" shouted Oolong, upset.

"Calm down, both Goku and his mother Gine are extremely strong, and I'm sure they can handle that giant," said Bulma with a smile, trying to calm Oolong.

"That's right! Defeating giants is a specialty of both me and my son," said Gine.

"Sounds fun," said Goku, happy.

"That's because you don't know Ox-King! Don't count on me if you're going to commit suicide," said Oolong, transforming into a fish and jumping into the river.

"He escaped!" said Gine, alarmed.

"I'll go after him!" said Goku, about to jump into the river.

"Wait! I know something that will bring him back. Gine, you better cover Goku's eyes," said Bulma, searching for something in her backpack.

Gine didn't think twice and grabbed her son to cover his eyes. Then Bulma took a pair of panties out of her bag, put them on a fishing rod, and successfully fished out the perverted pig-turned-fish. She then brought Oolong back onto the boat and removed the panties.

_ "Give me those panties!" retorted Oolong, annoyed.

_ "If you want them, you'll have to do what I say. And by the way, I have something for you," said Bulma, taking out a candy. "Here! This candy is for you," said Bulma, giving the candy to Oolong.

_ "I hope you keep your word," said Oolong as he ate the candy.

_ "Hey, I want a candy too," said Goku.

_ "Sorry, but that was the last one I had," said Bulma.

_ "That's not fair!" said Goku, pouting.

_ Gine calmed her son, saying, "Don't worry, Goku! We'll reach land soon and we can eat something."

_ "Hehe, I've always been popular with the ladies," said Oolong, giving Gine a seductive look.

_ Gine, annoyed, thought to herself, "Just what I needed! First that old pervert and now this pig wants to make a move on me too."

Then the boat stopped moving.

_ "What happened? Why did we stop?" asked Goku, confused.

_ "Oh no! We're out of fuel," said Bulma. "Oolong, can you transform into gasoline?" asked Bulma.

_ "That's impossible," responded Oolong.

_ "Then how about transforming into an oar?" asked Gine.

_ "Anything for a beautiful lady like you, it would be a pleasure to be used as an oar by such lovely and fine hands as yours," said Oolong, giving Gine another seductive look, making her look at the perverted pig with discomfort again.

_ Then Oolong transformed into an oar. Gine grabbed him and with a slightly sinister smile handed him to Goku, saying, "Here, son, he's all yours."

_ "Perfect! This is fun!" said Goku as he began rowing the boat while Gine relaxed in her seat, putting her hands behind her head.

_ "Hey, be more careful! That hurts!" retorted Oolong, annoyed.

Then the boat reached its destination and everyone disembarked, and Goku tied the boat.

_ "Hey, when do you plan to keep your part of the deal?" asked Oolong, complaining to Bulma about the panties.

_ "If you think I'm going to give you my panties for transforming into an oar, you're mistaken," said Bulma as Oolong began to protest. Then Bulma felt the absence of something important in her pocket and said, "Oh no! I lost my capsule case! AAAHHH! I must have thrown them into the river! Quick, Oolong! Turn into a fish and look for them in the river," screamed Bulma, anguished.

_ "Don't be silly! The river is huge," retorted Oolong.

_ "THIS CAN'T BE! I have no house, no motorcycles, no vehicles, no bicycles, nothing! I'm defenseless!" cried Bulma.

_ "Calm down, Bulma," said Gine, trying to console Bulma.

_ "Easy for you to say, Gine! You can fly and your son has his Flying Nimbus! But I have nothing to transport myself," said Bulma, crying.

_ "Hey Bulma, why don't you ask Oolong to turn into a motorcycle?" said Goku.

_ "Excellent idea, Goku! Hey, Oolong!" shouted Bulma, but everyone saw that Oolong had disappeared.

_ "No way am I going to that terrifying mountain, not even for 100 pairs of panties," said Oolong, hiding behind a rock.

_ "Fine, if that's what you want, Oolong," said Bulma with a sinister smile, then she shouted, "Pig, Pig, Pig."

Then Oolong shuddered and got a terrible diarrhea, squealing from the bushes.

_ "Hey, Oolong! You just had a digestive problem, didn't you? The candy I gave you is a powerful laxative, and every time you hear 'Pig!' you'll get diarrhea, so you'd better come out unless you want me to keep saying it," said Bulma with a sinister smile.

_ Then Oolong, with a face of resignation, came out of the bushes with a roll of toilet paper in hand, saying, "Alright, you win, I'll do what you say."

_ "You'd better! Because if you don't do what I say, I'll say it again," said Bulma.

_ "Understood," said Oolong with a resigned expression.

_ "Hey Goku, see? It was good you didn't eat that candy," said Gine with a smile.

_ Goku nodded, saying, "You're right, Mom."

_ Then Gine said to Oolong with a sinister smile, "You'd better not try to make a move on me again, little pig, unless you want me to say..."

_ "OKAY, BUT DON'T SAY IT!" shouted Oolong, scared.

_ "Good! Now I want you to transform into a motorcycle," Bulma told Oolong.

Then Oolong transformed into a motorcycle, but when Bulma got on, it buckled and couldn't move.

_ "What? Why did you do that?!" yelled Bulma, annoyed.

_ "It's not my fault! Even if I transform, I still have the same strength, and besides, I can only stay transformed for five minutes and then I need to rest for a minute," replied Oolong.

_ "This can't be! That means I'll have to walk!" cried Bulma.

Then Goku, Gine, Bulma, and Oolong started to cross a vast desert on foot under the scorching sun. Gine wanted to carry Bulma to fly along the way, but that meant also carrying Oolong, something she didn't want to do considering how perverted the humanoid pig was. As they walked through the desert, the sun was setting.

_ Bulma, completely exhausted and leaning on a stick, felt like she was going to die and while crying, she threw a tantrum, saying, "I can't sleep without a bed, I want a bath, I'm hungry!" But after a while, Bulma fell asleep under a rock.

_ "She's a bit spoiled and pampered, don't you think?" said Oolong.

_ "What's that?" asked Goku.

_ "It's someone who hasn't received proper upbringing at home since childhood, which obviously isn't your case, Goku," said Gine with a smile.

_ Then Goku's stomach growled loudly, and he said to Gine, "Hey Mom, I'm really hungry."

_ "I know, sweetheart, I'm hungry too, and Bulma and Oolong must be hungry as well. Wait here, and I'll go find something to eat. In the meantime, you stay here and look after Bulma and Oolong," said Gine with a smile, placing her hand on her son's face before flying off at high speed toward the forest to find something to eat.

_ "Wow! Your mom is really something, Goku," said Oolong, looking amazed at the sky as Gine flew away.

_ "I know. My wish is to be as strong as her and even surpass her," said Goku with a proud smile as he watched Gine fly off in search of food.

Meanwhile, in a hideout in the middle of a cliff, a small floating blue cat was spying on our group of adventurers with a telescope. He was accompanied by a young man with long hair dressed in a gi that was green on the top and orange pants, armed with a sword on his back.

_ "Master Yamcha, we have new prey," said the small floating blue cat.

_ "It's been a long time since we hunted anything. Get ready, Puar!" said Yamcha as he readied his sword. Then Yamcha went to the balcony of his hideout where he saw the group of adventurers. Seeing them, he said with an evil smile, "It's just a kid and a pig. This will be easy. They might not have much money, but maybe we can get a few Hoi-Poi Capsules out of them."

Then Yamcha got on a hover bike and headed towards the group of adventurers.

_ "I'm hungry too," said Oolong.

_ "Don't worry. I'm sure my mom will bring us lots of food," said Goku.

But then the hover bike appeared, with Yamcha and Puar on it, and Yamcha jumped in front of Goku and Oolong.

_ "Who are you?" asked Oolong.

_ "I am Yamcha, the owner of this desert. I don't usually harm kids like you, but if you want to get out of here alive, you'd better hand over all your money and capsules," said Yamcha with a sinister smile as he unsheathed his sword.

_ "And I am Puar," said the small floating blue cat with a sinister smile.

_ "Are you Puar the crybaby?" asked Oolong, astonished.

_ "You know him?" asked Yamcha, looking at Puar.

_ "Yes! He and I went to the transformation school together, and he used to bully me until one day he got expelled for stealing the teachers' underwear. Oolong, you're a bully and I hate you!" said Puar, angry.

_ "That was a long time ago," said Oolong with a nervous smile.

_ "Well, I don't care about that. Now give me everything you have if you don't want to die," said Yamcha, threatening Goku and Oolong with his sword.

_ "Hey, Goku, you're very strong, right?" asked Oolong, completely nervous.

_ "That's right!" said Goku.

_ "Alright, Yamcha, or whatever your name is, if you think we're giving you our capsules, you're very mistaken. Alright, Goku, take them down!" said Oolong.

_ "If you want to die, I'll gladly grant your wish," said Yamcha as he pointed his sword at the adventurers.

_ "Why? Are they bad?" asked Goku, confused.

_ "Can't you see they want to kill us?" asked Oolong, annoyed.

_ "Hey! Why do you want to kill us?" asked Goku, angry at the young bandit.

_ "You're not very smart, are you?" retorted Yamcha.

Then Yamcha attacked Goku with his sword, but Goku easily dodged his attacks. Goku then took out his Power Pole to attack Yamcha, who blocked Goku's attack with his sword. Goku shouted, "Extend, Power Pole!" and with the tip of his pole, he struck Yamcha, sending him flying.

_ Yamcha, completely astonished, asked, "Where did you get that pole?"

_ "My grandpa, Gohan, gave it to me," said Goku.

_ "Son Gohan?! I see, so you're the grandson of the great martial artist Son Gohan. No wonder you have that pole, as he's the only one who possesses a pole that can extend," said Yamcha, standing up.

_ "I heard about him too. I never imagined Goku's grandpa was so famous," said Oolong, astonished.

_ "But I don't care if you're Son Gohan's grandson. You won't beat me! Now I realize I shouldn't underestimate you. It's been a long time since I faced a good opponent like you, so get ready for my best attack. Wolf Fang Fist!" Then a wolf silhouette formed behind Yamcha as he launched a barrage of punches at Goku, sending the Saiyan child crashing into some rocks because Goku was distracted by his hunger.

_ "Well done, Yamcha!" said Puar, excited.

_ "Oh no! This doesn't look good," said Oolong, scared.

_ Just when Oolong was about to be forced to hand over his Hoi-Poi Capsules to Yamcha, Goku emerged from the rocks, in pain, saying, "Ow! I'm hungry! Hey, that hurt!"

_ "I see you're still alive. Do you want to try the Wolf Fang Fist again?" said Yamcha with a confident smile.

_ "I'll have to use Jan-Ken-Pon," said Goku. Then Goku clashed his fist with Yamcha's and used two fingers to poke Yamcha's eyes, sending him flying and burying him in the ground. But Goku then said, "I'm hungry," and let his guard down due to his hunger.

_ "Darn kid! Now you'll see," said Yamcha, running towards Goku.

_ But then a female voice shouted, "Goku!"

It was Gine, descending from the sky carrying a large wooden log over her right shoulder, on which three immense dead boars were tied by their legs, along with ten dead turkeys also tied by their legs. In her left hand, she held a bag filled with apples and spices to cook the boars and turkeys. Gine set everything she had brought on the ground and quickly placed herself between her son and Yamcha, which surprised the young bandit. Gine, completely angry and with her arms crossed, said, "Stay away from my son if you know what's good for you, ruffian!"

_ "Is this woman the boy's mother? And how can she fly?" asked Yamcha, scared. Then Yamcha became more nervous and blushed tremendously upon seeing that Gine was very beautiful and attractive.

_ "What's going on? What's all this noise?" asked Bulma as she woke up. Bulma blushed upon seeing Yamcha and, excited, said, "Wow! What a handsome guy, I wonder who he is."

_ Then Yamcha saw Bulma and blushed even more, getting scared. "Quick, Puar! We need to make a strategic retreat," said Yamcha, fleeing on his hover bike.

_ "But who was that guy? He sure is strange," said Gine, confused. Then Gine, worried, went to her son and asked, "Goku, are you alright? Nothing happened to you?"

_ "Yes, I'm fine, but I'm hungry!" said Goku, feeling down and sad as his stomach growled.

_ "Don't worry, sweetheart! I brought something to eat. Look!" said Gine, pointing to all the food she had brought.

_ "Great! Food!" shouted Goku, happy and excited.

_ "Wow, Gine! It's incredible that you managed to bring all this by yourself," said Bulma, astonished.

_ "Hehe, it's nothing. You and Oolong can also eat what I've brought since you must be hungry too," said Gine with a smile.

_ "Well... I don't usually eat wild animals... But since I'm hungry and there's nothing else to eat, I'll have some of what you brought. Thank you so much, Gine! I don't know what we would do without you," said Bulma with a smile.

_ "Thank you very much, Gine! Though I'll only eat those turkeys and apples because, obviously, I don't eat pork," said Oolong, looking at the dead boars.

_ "As you wish, Oolong," said Gine with a smile.

Then Gine made a huge bonfire and started cooking the boars and turkeys while Goku, Bulma, and Oolong ate the apples she had brought. Once the boars and turkeys were cooked, Goku and Gine ate the most due to their Saiyan metabolism, leaving Bulma and Oolong surprised as they also ate the food Gine had prepared.

Meanwhile, at Yamcha and Puar's base:

_ "I didn't know there would be two pretty girls! Whenever I see a pretty girl, I get nervous and don't know what to say," said Yamcha, frustrated.

_ "Oh, Yamcha! I wish you'd get over that problem," said Puar, sad.

Back in the desert:

_ "Thank you so much, Mom! Your food is delicious!" said Goku, happy as he devoured a large boar leg by himself.

_ "Thank you so much, Gine, it was delicious! You're a great cook!" said Bulma with a smile.

_ "Thank you, Gine, your food was tasty," said Oolong, cleaning his teeth.

_ "You're welcome, I'm glad you liked the food," said Gine.

_ Then Oolong remembered something important: "Oh, right! I just remembered I have a Hoi-Poi Capsule with a two-story camper."

_ "What?! Why didn't you say so earlier?" asked Bulma, annoyed.

_ "I only use it in emergencies," replied Oolong.

_ Gine, annoyed, asked, "And it didn't occur to you that this was an emergency?"

_ Oolong, completely nervous, said, "I'm sorry, I honestly forgot I had this camper with me."

Afterward, everyone entered the camper. The first thing Bulma did was take a bath, making sure there was nothing in the bathroom for Oolong to spy on her or Gine. Oolong offered to wash Gine and Bulma's clothes in the washer, to which Bulma agreed, but Gine refused to let Oolong's perverted hands touch her clothes. The camper was a two-story bus with only one room on the second floor, so it was decided that Gine and Bulma would sleep together in the room while Goku and Oolong slept downstairs.

_ Oolong offered two glasses of orange juice with sleeping pills to Gine and Bulma, saying, "Would you like something to drink, ladies?"

_ But Gine, distrusting Oolong, sensed something and declined the orange juice, saying, "No thanks, Oolong. And Bulma, I recommend you don't drink it either, just in case Oolong put something in these orange juices for, you know what."

_ Bulma, who was about to drink a glass of orange juice, set the glass down, saying, "Now that you mention it, I think you're right."

_ Oolong, seeing both girls reject the glasses of orange juice, said, "Darn it!"

_ Then Gine, seriously, said to Oolong, "And you better not even think about coming up to the room where Bulma and I will be sleeping. I have light sleep, so if I catch you trying to take advantage of me or Bulma, you'll have to deal with me. Got it, you perverted pig?"

_ Oolong, nervous, nodded, saying, "Okay." Then, annoyed, Oolong sat at the table with Goku because his perverted plan had failed. Oolong then asked Goku, "Hey Goku, why are you risking your lives going to Fire Mountain?"

_ Goku replied, "Well, you see..."

Goku explained to Oolong why they were going to Fire Mountain and about the quest for the Dragon Balls, which can grant any wish.

_ "What? So if you gather the Dragon Balls, a magical dragon appears that can grant any wish? And that's why you're going to Fire Mountain?" asked Oolong, astonished. "Now I see why Bulma is always looking at that device," said Oolong.

_ "That's right! Isn't it cool?" said Goku.

_ "Goku! How could you tell him that?" said Bulma, angry.

_ "Sorry, I didn't know it was a secret!" replied Goku.

_ "It's common sense that something so important has to be a secret!" said Bulma, still angry.

_ "Bulma, calm down! I'll talk to my son about it," said Gine, trying to calm Bulma.

But they didn't realize Yamcha was outside, spying on them and listening to everything.

_ "Did you hear that, Puar? Magic balls that can grant any wish. I plan to steal them to wish for not being afraid of girls anymore," said Yamcha.

_ "Sounds perfect, Yamcha," said Puar.

Meanwhile, Gine had to sit down and talk to Goku about the importance of keeping secrets and being discreet with things that shouldn't be shared with just anyone. Goku quickly understood. During the night, both Yamcha and Puar tried to infiltrate the bus, which forced Oolong to stand guard. The next morning, Bulma screamed when she saw that Oolong hadn't washed her clothes because he was on guard duty. Oolong then gave Bulma a daring bunny suit, the only outfit he had available.

_ "Are you kidding me, Oolong? People will think I'm crazy if they see me dressed like this. How can someone as small as you be so perverted?" said Bulma, annoyed by the bunny suit she was wearing.

_ "Well, if you didn't like it, you wouldn't have put it on. Besides, I had to stay on guard all night because that bandit named Yamcha attacked us," said Oolong.

_ "Are you talking about that handsome bandit we saw yesterday?" asked Bulma, blushing.

_ "What a strange girl. Didn't Oolong say he tried to rob us and even kill us?" thought Gine.

_ "Well, Oolong, you'd better drive since I need to do my makeup," said Bulma.

_ "Hey! But I haven't slept at all," said Oolong, annoyed.

_ "That's not my problem, just do it," replied Bulma.

_ Oolong said to Gine, "Hey, Gine, could you drive the camper, please?"

_ Gine replied, "Sorry, Oolong, but I don't know how to drive."

_ Annoyed, Oolong said, "Darn it!"

Then, reluctantly, Oolong started driving the camper while Bulma did her makeup. Goku and Gine began playing poker. Suddenly, Yamcha and Puar appeared in a car, and Yamcha aimed a bazooka at the camper where the four adventurers were.

"Oh, no! It's him again!" yelled Oolong.

_ "Mom, look!" said Goku, dropping his poker cards and pointing at Yamcha.

_ "Oh! That's the handsome bad guy," said Bulma, blushing.

_ "Hey, Bulma, control your hormones! Can't you see that guy is about to attack us?" said Gine, scolding the teenager.

Then Yamcha fired the bazooka at the camper, destroying the front upper part of the vehicle, causing everyone to get injured, and Bulma got the worst of it, ending up unconscious with a bruise on her head.

_ Goku and Gine, furious, came out of the camper, and Goku said to Yamcha, "Hey! That hurt! Why did you do that?"

_ "Hand over those Dragon Balls if you value your lives," said Yamcha, pointing the bazooka at the adventurers.

_ "Now you'll see!" said Goku, about to confront Yamcha.

_ "Wait, Goku!" said Gine, stopping her son.

_ "But mom, why are you stopping me? You know I can defeat him," said Goku.

_ "I know, son, but I want to make it clear to this miserable bandit who he's messing with," said Gine, annoyed.

Then Gine disappeared in the blink of an eye and reappeared inches from Yamcha, causing Yamcha and Puar to be frightened by the speed at which Gine approached them. Gine then took the bazooka from Yamcha and easily bent it.

_ "No way! How did you move so fast?" asked Yamcha, scared.

Then Gine punched Yamcha hard, sending him flying several meters.

_ "Yamcha! Are you okay?!" yelled Puar, worried.

Yamcha didn't know whether to be intimidated by Gine for being a cute girl or for the fact that she had destroyed his bazooka and punched him with great ease, sending him flying and knocking out a tooth without him even seeing one of Gine's moves.

_ "All right! I give up! Let me make it up to you!" said Yamcha, scared, as he pulled a capsule from his pocket and threw it, revealing a small red car. "Look! You can use this to travel safely," said Yamcha.

_ "I hope for your sake that car doesn't have a bomb," said Gine, annoyed and with her arms crossed.

_ "Not at all, you can check it if you want. As for me, I'm leaving," said Yamcha, then running back to his vehicle with Puar.

_ "Amazing... Gine is really strong," said Oolong, surprised by Gine's strength.

_ "I suppose that Yamcha guy isn't so bad," said Goku.

Then Gine went to get Bulma, carrying her on her back and taking her to the car.

_ "Hey, Gine, if you want, I can carry her," said Oolong with a perverted smile.

_ "Not a chance, perverted pig!" said Gine, annoyed.

After that, everyone got into the car, and Oolong took the wheel, while Yamcha watched them from a distance.

_ "Darn it! That woman and her son are very strong," said Yamcha, rubbing his right cheek from the punch Gine gave him.

_ "So what do we do now, Yamcha?" asked Puar.

_ "Since we can't confront them head-on, we'll just follow them discreetly, and when they have all the Dragon Balls, we'll steal them when they least expect it," said Yamcha.

_ "It looks like they're heading to Fire Mountain," said Puar.

_ "Then let's get going," said Yamcha.

Meanwhile, Oolong was driving the car with Goku, Gine, and Bulma, who could see Fire Mountain from a distance.

_ "No wonder it's so hot," said Bulma, astonished.

_ "But how is it possible that this mountain is on fire?" asked Gine, amazed.

_ "Ten years ago, this mountain was called Fry-Pan Mountain, and it was a beautiful place to live. But then a fire spirit fell from the sky, turning this mountain into a true hell, and since then, it's been called Fire Mountain. Now you see why it's better not to go near it? Ox-King lives there," said Oolong.

_ "And who is he?" asked Bulma.

_ "His name is Gyumao. Don't you remember that he was called Ox-King because he's so terrifying? Anyone who dares to approach his mountain faces certain death," said Oolong, scared.

_ "Does that mean he'll kill us? But why?" asked Bulma, astonished.

_ "Do you see that castle on top of the mountain? It belongs to Ox-King. Inside that castle are tons of gold and other treasures. Many have tried to steal those treasures, but Ox-King is always on guard. No one who has ventured into Ox-King's territory has returned alive to tell the tale," said Oolong, nervous.

_ "I see. So the sixth Dragon Ball must be in that Ox-King's castle," said Gine.

_ "You seem to know a lot about this," said Bulma.

_ "They teach that in school! Ox-King guards the lower part of the mountain because the mountain caught fire while he was having a picnic with his daughter. The fire is so intense that not even Ox-King can handle it. Now that you know, it's best we go back," said Oolong, annoyed.

_ "What? After going through so much to get here? Forget it!" said Bulma firmly.

_ "Are you crazy? Do you want to die? Goku and Gine might be strong, but they can't compare to Ox-King's strength. If you want to die, go ahead! But I'm leaving," said Oolong, about to speed up the car.

_ "Not so fast! Pig, pig, pig!" said Bulma.

Then Oolong quickly got out of the car and ran to a bush because he had diarrhea.

_ "All right! I'll do what you ask, but stop," said Oolong while Goku and Gine laughed.

_ Meanwhile, from a distance, Yamcha and Puar were watching the four adventurers. Then Yamcha said, "So they really plan to go to Fire Mountain. That means the sixth Dragon Ball must be in Ox-King's castle."

_ "We can't do anything against Ox-King. With those flames on the mountain and Ox-King watching, there's no way to get home. So let's just go back, Yamcha," said Puar.

_ "Wait, the boy is the grandson of Grandpa Gohan, and his mother must be his daughter or daughter-in-law. Maybe that boy and his mother know Ox-King personally. Let's see what happens," said Yamcha.

At that moment, a girl dressed in a blue bikini, boots, gloves, and a pink helmet came running because she was being chased by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. But the girl decapitated the Tyrannosaurus Rex and then blew its body to pieces with a beam shot from her helmet.

_ "Wow... impressive," said Yamcha.

_ "She doesn't seem like a damsel in distress," said Puar.

But then the girl got scared and tried to attack Yamcha, but Yamcha knocked her out, leaving her lying on the ground, and then he left the place. Meanwhile, Goku, Gine, Bulma, and Oolong approached the foot of Fire Mountain and found a ruined village full of human and animal bones.

_ "It's really hot here," said Bulma.

_ "Don't talk so loud, Ox-King might hear us," said Oolong.

_ "This place is really terrifying," said Gine, looking at the human and animal bones scattered around.

_ "Keep quiet, or else Ox-King will hear us," said Oolong.

_ "The Dragon Radar says the Dragon Ball is in the castle. Goku, Gine, do you think you can fly to the castle?" said Bulma.

_ "Of course. Are you ready, Goku?" said Gine with a smile.

_ "Of course, Mom! Come, Flying Nimbus!" said Goku.

Then the Flying Nimbus appeared, and Goku jumped on it while Gine flew with her son to the top of the mountain. Goku tried to approach the castle, but the flames prevented him.

_ "Goku, be careful! We'd better move away; we can't get close to the castle," said Gine, worried about her son.

_ "Did you give up so quickly? Cowards!" said Bulma, annoyed.

_ "I told you it was impossible, so let's just leave," said Oolong.

But then, behind Bulma and Oolong, an immense giant with a beard, armor, and a horned helmet appeared and threw an axe near them, scaring both Bulma and Oolong.

_ "It's Ox-King!" yelled Oolong, alarmed.

_ "What are you doing in my territory, you cursed intruders?" yelled Ox-King, furious.

_ "We were just passing through," said Bulma, scared.

_ "I told you we were going to die!" yelled Oolong at Bulma.

Then Goku and Gine descended from the sky in front of Ox-King, and Ox-King was surprised when he saw Goku standing on the Flying Nimbus.

_ Then Ox-King asked Goku, "Hey kid, where did you get that Flying Nimbus?"

_ "This? Master Roshi gave it to me. You're Ox-King, right? You seem really strong," said Goku.

_ "You mean the great Master Roshi? Do you know where he lives?" asked Ox-King, amazed.

_ "Mmmm, I don't remember where he lived. Do you, Mom?" said Goku.

_ "Mmmm, now that I remember, he told us he lived on an island," said Gine, thinking.

_ "Hooray! I can finally return to my castle!" yelled Ox-King, happy and excited.

Then Ox-King fixed his gaze on the Power Pole that Goku carried on his back and asked, "Hey kid, by any chance, is that the Power Pole you're carrying on your back?"

_ "You know a lot of things. Yes, it's the Power Pole, and my grandpa gave it to me," said Goku.

_ Ox-King, astonished, asked Goku, "By any chance, is your grandfather Son Gohan?"

_ "That's right. He trained me and my mom," said Goku, pointing at Gine.

_ Then Ox-King, with joy, said to Goku and Gine, "Incredible! So you're Son Gohan's grandson, and you must be his daughter, right?"

_ "That's right. Son Gohan was my adoptive father," said Gine with a smile.

_ "What do you mean 'was'? Wait, don't tell me that he..." said Ox-King, perplexed.

_ "That's right... my dad Gohan, unfortunately, died a few months ago. But before he died, he named me and my son as his heirs," said Gine, sadly.

_ "Oh! I'm sorry to hear that," said Ox-King, saddened.

_ "Did you know my grandpa?" asked Goku.

_ Ox-King, with a smile, said, "That's right! I was Master Roshi's second-best disciple, and Son Gohan was Master Roshi's best disciple. We were great friends."

_ Gine was surprised by what Ox-King said and thought to herself, "It's incredible that that old pervert was the master of my master and adoptive father, Son Gohan!"

_ Bulma and Oolong just listened to the conversation, astonished, while Yamcha and Puar spied on them from behind a wall. "Just as I suspected. That boy and his mother have a lot to do with Ox-King," said Yamcha.

_ Puar, astonished, said, "That boy and his mother sure have many surprises."

_ "Well, memories can wait. Kid, I need to ask you and your mother a favor," said Ox-King.

_ "What is it?" asked Goku.

_ "I've heard that the flames can be extinguished with the Basho-Sen, which is Master Roshi's magic fan. Please, could you and your mother go to Master Roshi and bring me the Basho-Sen?"

_ Goku replied, "All right, but in return, you have to give us the Dragon Ball you have in your castle."

_ "What's that?" asked Ox-King, confused.

_ Then Goku took out the four-star ball he had with him and showed it to Ox-King, saying, "It's this here."

_ "Oh! Now that I remember, I have one of those stored in my treasure room. All right, I'll give it to you," said Ox-King.

_ "Thank you very much," said Goku.

_ "Great!" said Bulma, happily.

_ "It's a miracle! I thought we wouldn't get out of this alive," said Oolong, relieved.

_ "In that case, we'll gladly help you. All right, Goku! Let's go!" said Gine.

_ "Ah! Just one more thing," said Ox-King while taking a photo out of his pocket. Then Ox-King said to Goku and Gine, "Look. This girl you see here is named Chi-Chi, and she's my daughter. I sent her yesterday to look for Master Roshi to bring me the Basho-Sen. If you and your mother find her on the way, please bring her along. She's a very temperamental and spoiled girl, but she's very cute, and if you like, you can take her as your future wife."

_ Yamcha and Puar were startled, and Puar said, "Oh, Mr. Yamcha, that's the girl you knocked out and left lying on the ground earlier!"

_ "I didn't know she was Ox-King's daughter," said Yamcha, scared.

Then Yamcha and Puar started running to look for Chi-Chi, and meanwhile, Goku asked Gine, "Hey mom, what's a wife?"

Gine, with a smile, said to Goku, "I'll explain it to you later, Goku."

Then Gine looked closely at the photo of Chi-Chi and saw that she was a cute girl, but she noticed something in her that she didn't like, making her seriously consider if that girl would supposedly be the ideal wife for her son.

_ Then Ox-King said to Gine, "Well? What do you think? She's a beautiful princess. Without a doubt, she would be the best choice to be your son's wife, don't you think?"

_ Gine, with a smile, said to Ox-King, "I must congratulate you for having such a beautiful daughter, and my son and I will gladly look for her and take her with us to find Master Roshi and then bring her back to you safely, but nothing more."

_ Ox-King was surprised to hear Gine reject his proposal for Chi-Chi to marry Goku in the future and then asked, "What? Are you saying you don't want your son to be engaged to my daughter?"

_ Gine nodded, saying, "That's right, Ox-King."

_ Ox-King, completely astonished, asked, "But why?"

_ Gine sighed and said with a smile, "Please, Ox-King, I ask that you don't take offense or take it the wrong way. Your daughter Chi-Chi is a very beautiful girl, but my son Goku is still a child, and he's very innocent. He doesn't know how the world works, and as you noticed, he doesn't even know what a wife is, and therefore he doesn't understand what marriage, love, and falling in love are. So, for the sake of both my son and your daughter, it wouldn't be right for my son to be committed to something as important as marriage that Goku doesn't understand. Marriage is an important decision where a man and a woman must be aware of what they're committing to. I'm telling you this as a woman who once had the joy and happiness of being married. My son Goku doesn't understand this yet, and I imagine your daughter doesn't either, right?"

_ Ox-King, with a smile, nodded and said, "I understand, and you know what? You're absolutely right."

_ Gine, with a smile, said: "I'm glad you understand. As Goku's mother, what I want most is for Goku to marry a loving and understanding woman who sees and understands him deeply, accepts him as he is, helps him grow as a person, and shares his worldview. Goku comes from a lineage of powerful warriors, and as such, he is someone who loves martial arts and lives for battles and to become stronger. Therefore, the woman who claims to love my son and wants to marry him must understand and accept this and be willing for that lineage to continue if my future grandchildren so wish. Above all, as a mother, I want Goku to be happy, and I also desire happiness for your daughter. That's why, for the well-being of my son and your daughter, I cannot allow Goku to be engaged to Chi-Chi."

_ "I understand, and what you said could indeed be a problem if my daughter Chi-Chi and Goku were to marry. Lately, Chi-Chi has shown little interest in martial arts. She has told me multiple times that she wants to be married to a handsome man with whom she can have a normal, peaceful life, and have children who are academic and scientific. Obviously, Goku would be unhappy with that," said Ox-King thoughtfully.

_ Gine sighed with a hint of sadness, saying: "Then it's clear that my son wouldn't be the ideal husband for your daughter, and your daughter wouldn't be the ideal wife for my son. A marriage of unequal yoke, where the husband and wife go in different directions, have different worldviews, and different priorities, would be disastrous for both your daughter and my son. It would only generate conflict, discord, and frustration."

_ Ox-King, with a smile and a face full of understanding, said: "I understand, and I think you're absolutely right. It's a shame because it would be a joy for me to have Son Gohan's grandson as a son-in-law. Although my daughter might change her mindset over the years and become the woman your son needs, knowing Chi-Chi, I highly doubt it."

_ "Thank you very much for understanding, Ox-King," said Gine with a smile.

_ Ox-King, with a smile, said: "Don't worry. I may look rough and intimidating, but I'm also a sensible and understanding man."

_ Bulma was happy and moved by Gine's wise words, but Oolong, somewhat annoyed, said: "What nonsense! Gine is throwing away a golden opportunity because Ox-King is a rich man, and if her son marries Ox-King's daughter, Goku would be a prince with access to Ox-King's riches. That way, Gine could secure both her and Goku's future."

_ Bulma, annoyed, hit Oolong on the head and said: "Shut up! Gine is simply acting like a good mother who wants the best for her son. A perverted pig like you would never understand."

_ "Ow, you're so mean! Why did you hit me?" Oolong replied, whining in pain.

_ "Hey, Mom, what was all that you talked about with Ox-King?" Goku asked, confused and with his typical innocence, causing everyone to comically fall with their legs up.

_ "Don't worry, Goku, we'll talk about it later," said Gine with a nervous smile and a big sweat drop.

_ "Oh boy, this kid is quite a case. The woman who marries Goku will need a lot of love, patience, and understanding with him," Bulma murmured.

_ Gine, with a smile, said to Ox-King: "Very well, we're leaving to find Master Roshi, bring the Basho-Sen, and bring Chi-Chi back." Then Gine said to Oolong and Bulma: "You two wait here."

_ Bulma nodded, saying: "Don't worry. Oolong and I will wait here."

Then Goku flew off on his Flying Nimbus with his mother flying alongside him. After a few miles, they saw Chi-Chi looking around, completely confused because she had been abandoned by Yamcha and Puar.

_ "Look, Mom! Isn't that Ox-King's daughter?" Goku asked, pointing at Chi-Chi.

_ "Yes! It's her. Let's go!" said Gine.

Then Goku and Gine descended to the ground, and Goku asked Chi-Chi: "Excuse me, are you Chi-Chi, Ox-King's daughter?"

_ "Yes, but who are you? How do you know my name? Oh, I get it! You must be in love with me too, right?" Chi-Chi asked.

Goku was confused by the girl's question, but Gine, with a smile, said: "No, dear. Your father sent us to bring you with us to find Master Roshi and the Basho-Sen."

_ "Do you know my father?" Chi-Chi asked.

_ "Yes, we do, so get on the Flying Nimbus so we can take you," said Goku.

Gine saw Chi-Chi grabbing Goku's tail to hold on to it and, alarmed, said: "No, wait!"

Then Gine picked up Chi-Chi to place her on the Flying Nimbus next to Goku.

_"Hey girl, you shouldn't grab my tail. If you do, I lose all my strength. You almost made me fall off the Flying Nimbus," said Goku, annoyed.

_"Hey, why do you have a tail?" asked Chi-Chi, confused.

_"I've had it since birth, and as you can see, my mom has one too," said Goku.

_"Oh, I see," said Chi-Chi.

Meanwhile, Yamcha was spying on them from a bush and heard everything Goku said.

_"Ah! So the weak point of both that kid and his mother is in their tails. Now victory will be ours, Puar! They already have six Dragon Balls, and when they have all seven, I'll defeat them with my Wolf Fang Fist," said Yamcha with a sinister smile.

_"Well said, Yamcha," said Puar.

Then Goku, Chi-Chi, and Gine flew off on the Flying Nimbus, with Gine flying alongside the children.

_"Incredible! Goku, your mom can fly!" said Chi-Chi, astonished.

_Goku said with a smile, "That's right, it's fascinating, don't you think?"

_Chi-Chi, still amazed, said, "Yes, but how does she do it?"

_Gine, smiling, said to Chi-Chi, "With a lot of training and practice."

Then Goku, Gine, and Chi-Chi soared through the sky at full speed, retracing the path Goku and Gine had traveled before. Before they knew it, they reached the sea. Meanwhile, Chi-Chi held on tightly to Goku and looked closely at his face, blushing as she found the Saiyan boy very attractive.

_Chi-Chi, blushing, thought to herself, "Wow, what a handsome boy. Maybe he could be my future husband."

_Goku turned to Chi-Chi to ask if she was okay and, seeing her blushing, asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

_Chi-Chi, a bit nervous and blushing, nodded, saying, "Huh? Of course, I'm fine, don't worry."

_Goku, confused, responded, "Well, if you say so."

_Chi-Chi smiled and, still blushing, said, "Wow, what a handsome and considerate boy. I think he is definitely the man I want as my husband."

Meanwhile, Gine was watching Chi-Chi out of the corner of her eye and realized that Chi-Chi seemed to have an interest and attraction towards her son. Despite Chi-Chi proving she had a pure heart by being able to ride the Flying Nimbus, Gine wasn't going to allow Goku to be committed as Chi-Chi's future husband, as Gine's motherly intuition sensed something about Chi-Chi that she didn't like. Then Goku and Gine, seeing the vast sea, stopped and asked a talking dolphin for directions to Master Roshi's house. The dolphin gave them the exact location. After hours of flying, Goku, Gine, and Chi-Chi spotted an island with a pink house with a triangular red roof that had the words "Kame House" in red letters. As soon as they arrived, they saw Master Roshi outside his house sweeping the entrance, accompanied by the Sea Turtle.

_"Oh, it's you, kid! How has the Flying Nimbus served you?" said Master Roshi.

_"Hello, Master Roshi. The Flying Nimbus is fantastic and has been very useful," said Goku with a smile.

_"Of course, it is, since it was given to me by Kami-Sama himself," said Master Roshi.

_"Wow! What do you think, Mom? My Flying Nimbus belonged to Kami-Sama," to which Gine simply smiled at her son.

_ "By the way, I see that you came with your beautiful mother" Master Roshi said, fixing his perverted gaze on the young Saiyan mother, making Gine look at him with displeasure and then Master Roshi said to Gine: "Hello, beautiful, have you finally animated want to show me your underwear?

_ Gine, being furious, hit Master Roshi hard on the nose, throwing him a few meters into the air so that Master Roshi ended up crashing into the sand, leaving him with his head buried in the sand and with his legs up before the astonished gaze of Goku and Milk. Gine, being furious, told him: "You old pervert!"

_"Wow! What a temper! Can't you take a joke?" retorted Master Roshi as he got back on his feet.

_"Is that Master Roshi?" asked Chi-Chi.

_"Yes," said Goku.

_"If that's the case, I want to test him," said Chi-Chi, taking the boomerang from her helmet and throwing it at Master Roshi. Master Roshi noticed the boomerang too late and ended up with it stuck in his head.

_"Chi-Chi! What have you done?" said Gine, perplexed.

_"Are you okay, Master?" asked the Sea Turtle.

_"Sorry! I just wanted to test him," said Chi-Chi, scared.

As much as Gine disliked Master Roshi for being a pervert, she did not approve of what Chi-Chi did.

_"Foolish girl! Not even an invincible being could dodge something so unexpected," said Master Roshi.

_"Sorry, sometimes I'm impulsive. I just wanted to see if you were really Master Roshi," said Chi-Chi, embarrassed.

_After a while, Master Roshi's head was bandaged, and he asked, "And who is this girl?"

_"Master Roshi, this girl with us is Chi-Chi, the daughter of Ox-King, and she's here to ask you for something important," said Goku.

_"Master Roshi, I would like to ask you to please lend us the Basho-Sen," said Chi-Chi.

_"The Basho-Sen? You mean the magic fan capable of creating a great wind and a great storm? Of course, I have it," said Master Roshi.

_"Please, we need it to put out the fire on Fry-Pan Mountain," said Chi-Chi.

_"We'll return it later," said Goku.

_Master Roshi looked thoughtfully at the sea, making Goku, Gine, and Chi-Chi wonder what he was thinking. Then Master Roshi said, "Alright. I'll lend it to you, but on one condition."

_Gine, puzzled, asked, "And what is that condition?"

_ Master Roshi said to Goku: You, boy, come here!" Making Gine raise an eyebrow in surprise, wondering what that old man wanted with his son. Then Master Roshi said to Goku: "I'll lend you the Basho-Sen on the condition that you give me your mother's panties"

_ "What are you saying Master Roshi?! How can you ask that of the child? To his own mother!" The Sea Turtle exclaimed, being totally upset and indignant.

_"Keep silent, he will listen to us!" Master Roshi said

_ "This is shameful!" The Sea Turtle replied, being annoyed.

_ "Bah! Don't be dramatic! A dying old man like me has the right to have a pretty woman's panties from time to time" said the perverted Master Roshi, being annoyed.

_ "I remind you that you drank the elixir of immortality" The Sea Turtle replied, being annoyed with the old pervert.

_ "But Master Roshi, I don't understand, why do you want my mother's panties?" Goku asked innocently.

_ "You will understand when you grow up" Master Roshi said.

_"But then Master Roshi saw a slender shadow of someone behind him, making him shiver with fear as he realized who it was. It was Gine, who had heard everything and was completely furious. She glared at the perverted Master Roshi with a murderous look and said, 'You never learn, do you, old pervert?'

_Master Roshi, completely nervous, swallowed and said, 'I was just joking.'

_As expected, Gine gave Master Roshi a good beating, leaving his head full of bruises and both eyes blackened, while Goku, Chi-Chi, and the Sea Turtle watched in astonishment. The Sea Turtle covered its eyes with its flippers, and the seagulls flying around Master Roshi's island fled in terror at the screams of the perverted Kame-Sennin.

_'That's no way to treat the elderly... Alright, I'll give you the Basho-Sen,' said Master Roshi, his face covered in bruises from Gine's punches.

_'Master, remember you used the Basho-Sen as a tablecloth,' said the Sea Turtle.

_'Don't tell me that was the Basho-Sen! The other day, soup spilled on it, and I threw it in the trash!' said Master Roshi, scared.

_'No way!' said Gine, shaking her head slightly while putting her hand on her face.

_'Oh no! Now I'll never be able to return home!' cried Chi-Chi, on the verge of tears.

_'Well, there's still another option. I suppose I'll have to put out the fire myself,' said Master Roshi, surprising Goku, Gine, and Chi-Chi.

_'Can you really do that?' asked Gine, astonished.

_'Of course! Nothing is impossible for the great Master Roshi,' said the great Kame-Sennin.

_'But how are you going to get to Ox-King's castle if you can't ride the Flying Nimbus?' asked Goku.

_'Don't think I'm going to carry you flying,' said Gine, annoyed with the old pervert and fearing that Master Roshi might try something with her.

_'They don't call me the Turtle Hermit for nothing! Come to me, Baby Gamera!' said Master Roshi.

_A green turtle appeared, saying, 'At your service, Master Roshi.'

_'I want you to take me to Fry-Pan Mountain,' said Master Roshi, climbing onto the turtle.

_'As you command!' said Baby Gamera.

_To the astonishment of Goku, Gine, and Chi-Chi, Baby Gamera began to fly, spinning around, carrying Master Roshi toward Fry-Pan Mountain.

_'Wow! Won't he get dizzy traveling like that?' commented Gine, amazed.

_Then Goku and Chi-Chi got on the Flying Nimbus and flew off, following Master Roshi, while Gine flew alongside the children. After a few hours, Goku, Gine, Chi-Chi, and Master Roshi arrived at the foot of Fry-Pan Mountain, where Ox-King, Oolong, and Bulma were waiting for them. When they arrived, Ox-King trembled upon learning that the Basho-Sen was lost, but he felt relieved knowing that Master Roshi could put out the fire by himself."

_"Master Roshi, being upset, scolded his former student, saying, 'I am very disappointed in you. I heard you have a bad reputation and have killed a lot of people to protect your treasures.'

_'Greed has blinded me, Master Roshi, and I am very sorry for that. Once I put out this fire, I promise I will give up my riches,' said Ox-King, kneeling before his former master.

_'It's not necessary, but I am also disappointed that you couldn't put out this fire by yourself,' said Master Roshi seriously.

_Ulong, astonished, said, 'It's incredible to see Ox-King kneeling and asking for forgiveness.'

_Master Roshi then took off the shell he was wearing on his back and his shirt, stood on a wall looking at the fire, and said, 'Alright! It's time to put out this fire.'

_Gine, somewhat confused, said, 'I don't understand how this old man can put out this fire.'

_Then, to everyone's amazement, Master Roshi's muscles grew enormously, making him much larger. Then Master Roshi put his hands together towards the mountain.

_Ox-King, astonished, said, 'I can't believe it! Master Roshi is going to perform the famous Kamehameha technique!'

_Yamcha and Puar, who were spying from behind a wall, were astonished.

_Puar asked, 'What is the Kamehameha?'

_Yamcha said, 'It's Master Roshi's legendary technique where he concentrates all his power into one point and releases it with a single energy blast. I never thought I'd see that technique!'

_'KA... ME... HA... ME... HAAAAAA!' shouted Master Roshi, releasing an immense energy blast.

_'Amazing! I can feel an immense power being released,' said Gine, astonished.

_The light from the energy blast made everyone close their eyes, and it managed to put out the fire, but it ended up destroying the mountain and Ox-King's castle. Goku was fascinated and said, 'That's incredible!'

_'What an amazing technique,' said Gine, astonished.

_'Phew! Did you see that the fire is out?' said Master Roshi after his body returned to normal.

_'Um... Master Roshi... It's true you put out the fire, but... You also destroyed the mountain and the castle,' said Ox-King, perplexed.

_'The mountain is gone!' everyone shouted.

_'Hehehe, I guess I overdid it,' said Master Roshi, putting his hand behind his head and making everyone fall over comically. Then Bulma and Ulong started searching for the Dragon Ball among the ruins of Ox-King's castle.

_'Well, it doesn't matter! The important thing is the fire is gone, and we can always rebuild the castle,' said Ox-King happily.

_'Master Roshi! I want to learn that technique,' said Goku, excited.

_'Me too!' said Gine, equally excited.

_'That's impossible! To learn the Kamehameha, you need at least 50 years of training,' replied Master Roshi.

_'50 years? Mom, are you thinking what I'm thinking?' Goku asked with a challenging smile at Gine.

_'Of course I am, Goku,' said Gine with a smile.

_Then both Goku and Gine took the same stance, and both the Saiyan mother and son began to say, 'KA... ME...!' Then energy spheres began to form in both Goku's and Gine's hands, to the astonishment of Master Roshi, Ox-King, and Chi-Chi, who were watching while Goku and Gine said, 'HA... ME...!' Their energy spheres intensified until Goku and Gine shouted, 'HAAAA!' causing two energy beams to shoot out from both Goku's and Gine's hands. Goku's Kamehameha destroyed the car they were traveling in with Gine and the others, while Gine's Kamehameha was stronger and destroyed a nearby huge rock.

_'We did it, Mom!' shouted Goku happily, high-fiving Gine.

_Chi-Chi, seeing Goku perform the Kamehameha, couldn't help but blush and feel attracted to him for being so strong. In her mind, she said, 'I will ask Goku to be my husband in the future, and I'm sure he will accept.'

_Ox-King, astonished, said, 'Well... I suppose nothing less could be expected from the daughter and grandson of Son Gohan.'

_Master Roshi, astonished, said, 'What?! Did I hear correctly?! Are they the daughter and grandson of Son Gohan?!'

_'That's right,' said Ox-King.

_'Although I must say our Kamehamehas weren't as strong as Master Roshi's, but yours was stronger than mine, Mom,' said Goku.

_'It's just a matter of you and me training more, dear,' said Gine to her son.

_Master Roshi approached Goku and Gine to ask them, 'Hey, you two! Is it true that you are the daughter and grandson of Son Gohan?'

_'That's right! I am Son Gine, and this is my son Son Goku,' said Gine with a smile.

_'I see! Years ago, Gohan wrote to me in a letter saying he had found a woman with an infant in a forest and that both had tails. It seems that was you. Tell me, how is Son Gohan?' asked Master Roshi.

_Both Goku and Gine lowered their heads, feeling sad, and Goku responded, 'My grandfather passed away a few months ago.'

_'Oh, I am very sorry to hear that,' said Master Roshi, feeling sad. Then he said to Gine, 'Tell me, Gine, wouldn't you and your son like to come to my island to train? You both have the potential to be stronger than me.'

_Gine thought about it and saw that despite Master Roshi being an old pervert, he was also a wise martial arts master and was none other than the master of her adoptive father, Son Gohan. Therefore, she could learn a lot from him and could always keep Master Roshi in check whenever he tried to get fresh with her. So Gine, with a smile, said, 'That sounds good to me. How about you, Goku?'

_'Great, but it will have to be after we search for the Dragon Balls,' said Goku with a smile.

_'You're right,' said Gine.

_'Don't worry, in that case, I'll wait for you,' said Master Roshi.

_Meanwhile, Yamcha and Puar were spying on them and listening to everything.

_'Yamcha, I think it would be better if we forget about the Dragon Balls,' said Puar.

_'No way, now that we know the boy and his mother's weakness, we'll have to follow them more carefully,' said Yamcha.

_Then a cry of joy was heard from Bulma because she had found the Dragon Ball she was looking for. Afterward, Bulma scolded Goku for destroying the car they were in, but fortunately, Ox-King gave them one of his cars so they could continue their journey.

_'Then Chi-Chi, happy and blushing, said to her father, 'Hey, Dad, before Goku leaves, why don't you talk to him and his mom about becoming my fiancé?'

_But before Ox-King could respond to his daughter, Gine, with a smile, said to Chi-Chi, 'I'm sorry, little one, but my son is very innocent and still very immature. He is not old enough to take on such an important commitment as marriage, and you are not old enough to take on such an important commitment either. Goku is just getting to know the world, so he doesn't know what love and marriage are. Therefore, for your good and my son's good, it's better that you simply be friends.'

_But Chi-Chi, wanting to insist, ignored Gine's words and asked Goku, 'Hey, Goku, tell me, don't you think I'm pretty? Wouldn't you like to be my fiancé and marry me when you grow up?'

_'I'm sorry, Chi-Chi, but I prefer not to commit to something I don't know the meaning of, and besides, I don't want my mom to scold me for disobeying her,' said Goku.

_Chi-Chi sighed sadly and said, 'I understand...'

_'Chi-Chi! You have to learn to respect other people's decisions,' said Ox-King, scolding his daughter.

_'But if you like, we can be friends,' said Goku with a smile, extending his hand to Chi-Chi.

_'That's fine with me,' said Gine with a smile.

_Chi-Chi, feeling sad, sighed and then shook Goku's hand and smiled, saying, 'Alright, Goku.'

_'I'm glad everything ended well. By the way, you are always welcome here when you decide to come back,' said Ox-King with a smile.

_'Thank you very much,' said Gine.

_Although Chi-Chi was deep down angry about being rejected by Goku, she said to herself in her thoughts, 'I am the Princess of Mount Fry-Pan, and no one denies me anything! I swear I'll make Goku my husband someday, even if it's the last thing I do.'

_Then Goku, Gine, Bulma, and Ulong said goodbye to Ox-King, Chi-Chi, and Master Roshi, who returned to his island while our protagonists continued their journey in search of the last Dragon Ball.

Comments from the author:

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. What I highlight the most in this chapter is that Gine did not allow Goku to get engaged to Chi-Chi because her mother's intuition told her that Chi-Chi is not the right woman for her son. This is a good decision that any good, realistic mother would have made in Gine's place, as no mother in her right mind would want her son to marry a toxic and unbearable woman with whom he has to do things he likes in secret for fear of her yelling at him or hitting him. Every good mother always wants the best for her children, and it is well known that in Dragon Ball, Goku and Chi-Chi's relationship is conflicted and dysfunctional. They are terrible for each other because Goku and Chi-Chi have different priorities and worldviews. Goku is an adventurous warrior who wants to have adventures, train to fight strong warriors to save the Earth, and protect his friends from any threat. On the other hand, Chi-Chi wants a normal life with a normal, hardworking husband and normal children who only focus on studying and becoming professionals. This is not inherently bad, but the problem arises because Chi-Chi wanted to have all of that by marrying Goku. As a result, Chi-Chi complains and plays the victim because she cannot impose her priorities and worldview on Goku, which are incompatible with Goku's Saiyan nature and lifestyle. Chi-Chi loses control and ends up physically abusing Goku, causing domestic violence in front of their children and Goku's friends. Goku has to sneak away in fear of Chi-Chi yelling at him or hitting him, making their relationship clearly toxic and dysfunctional. Despite this, sympathizers and defenders of Chi-Chi and her relationship with Goku insist on denying it, and if this couple continues together in a surrealistic manner, it is simply for the convenience of the script, as Toriyama allowed it. Therefore, Gine's decision not to allow Goku to marry Chi-Chi is a wise decision that any realistic mother who wants the best for her son would have made in her place. At this point in the story, Chi-Chi is an immature and spoiled girl who does not accept "no" for an answer, so unfortunately, she was not able to accept it gracefully. Thus, in this story, Chi-Chi will undergo a tough character development to become a better woman than her unfortunate canonical version.

I'm sure some might wonder why Goku doesn't go around touching people's genitals to know if they are men or women. That's because obviously in this story, Goku has his mother by his side, who in the previous chapter already explained to Goku the biological differences between men and women and the importance of respecting people's privacy. Therefore, Goku in this story knows that it's not right to go around touching people's genitals.

In conclusion, I hope you're enjoying the story, and I would appreciate it if you shared this story with friends who might enjoy it. God bless you.
