"This is the place—the fifth Dragon Ball!" Bulma announced energetically, stopping her motorcycle and confidently checking her Dragon Radar.
"Strange... I smell people, but I don't see anyone." Goku stood atop the Flying Nimbus, cautiously looking around.
Ray Chu tapped Goku's shoulder and held up a sign: [There's movement inside that house.]
"I'll go knock!" Goku ran swiftly to the house and knocked loudly, but nobody answered. Growing impatient, he smashed the lock with a single blow.
A shadow burst out from the doorway, swinging an axe at Goku's head, but Ray Chu swiftly kicked the axe away, causing the attacker to fall to the ground in shock.
"Lord Oolong, forgive me! Do anything you want to me, but please don't take my daughter!" A bald old man fell to his knees, begging desperately, leaving Goku and Bulma completely baffled.
After some explanation, the villagers finally understood that Bulma's group wasn't sent by Lord Oolong. According to them, Oolong was a shape-shifting monster who lived nearby and regularly came to the village to steal valuables—and young women. This time, Oolong was coming to take the bald old man's daughter as his bride.
Bulma clapped her hands excitedly. "I've got it!" She held up the Dragon Ball, asking if anyone had seen one like it.
An elderly woman stepped forward, saying, "I have a ball just like it, except mine has six stars."
Bulma's eyes lit up, and she offered to take care of Oolong if they gave her the Dragon Ball in return.
The villagers hesitated. "Can a young girl like you really defeat a monster?"
Bulma confidently puffed out her chest, proudly pointing at Goku and Ray Chu. "Not me! They're the ones who'll defeat him!"
...
To face the fearsome monster Oolong, Goku disguised himself as the bride Oolong planned to kidnap. Before long, loud footsteps approached the village entrance. A tall, muscular, tuxedo-wearing boar-man holding a bouquet of flowers swaggered into view.
"Ha ha… my lovely bride, I've come to take you home!"
"Oo…Oolong, the demon king!" Terrified villagers rushed indoors, trembling as they peeked out their windows.
Oolong marched confidently up behind Goku, declaring in a gruff voice, "Come now, don't be afraid. Lord Oolong is very gentle."
At that moment, he suddenly transformed back into a tiny pig, falling out of the air.
"Ow… That hurts!" squealed the little pig.
Goku glanced around, confused. "Huh? Where did that big guy go?"
Leaning casually against a nearby house, Bulma irritably pointed to the little pig rolling around on the ground. "This guy is the real Oolong. You've all been tricked!"
Ray Chu, who'd already known Oolong's identity, couldn't be bothered wasting more time and exposed him with a quick punch. Only now did the villagers realize they'd been deceived by Oolong's tricks for far too long, losing their courage completely.
Soon afterward, they forced Oolong to return the kidnapped girls, and Bulma received the Dragon Ball from the grateful old woman.
Bidding farewell to the villagers, their group set off once again—this time, with Oolong reluctantly joining them.
"Why are we taking Oolong with us?" Goku asked from atop the Nimbus.
Bulma drove a speedboat through a river, explaining, "Oolong can shapeshift. He might come in handy later."
Oolong opened his mouth to protest but immediately fell silent when Ray Chu glanced at him. For reasons he couldn't explain, he was instinctively terrified of Ray Chu—even though their sizes were nearly identical.
Every now and then, Ray Chu's casual glance at Oolong left him feeling a chill down his spine.
When Ray Chu later approached Oolong, demanding to learn his shapeshifting skill, the little pig trembled uncontrollably. After several failed attempts, Ray Chu gave up, frustrated, which only heightened Oolong's sense of intellectual superiority.
Bonk!
Ignoring Oolong, who clutched his head in pain behind him, Ray Chu finally acknowledged he probably couldn't master this world's shapeshifting—perhaps because he wasn't native to it.
As their RV drove along a barren wilderness road, Ray Chu calmly studied his book to improve his language skills. Suddenly, the vehicle shook violently and stopped.
Bulma jumped out to investigate, discovering a spike had punctured their tire. Furious, she shouted, "Who the hell did this?!"
A motorbike engine roared nearby. A dark-haired man wearing sunglasses skidded stylishly to a halt in front of them. "Hey! I'm Yamcha, boss of this desert!"
A raccoon-like animal hopped out behind him. "And I'm Puar, Lord Yamcha's assistant!"
"You're the ones who ruined my tire!" Bulma shouted angrily, but upon clearly seeing Yamcha's face, she instantly swooned. "Wow, he's hot!"
Yamcha's face twitched. Girls were his greatest weakness, but he was already committed. Summoning his courage, he declared, "I don't want to hurt women or children. Hand over your money and capsules, and you can go."
"Puar? Is that you, crybaby Puar?" Oolong suddenly shouted.
"Huh? Oolong!" Puar recognized him immediately. The two had been classmates at Southern Transformation Kindergarten, but their relationship wasn't exactly friendly, since Oolong had constantly bullied Puar.
"Hey, don't get cocky just because you have backup! We've got a powerful fighter too!" Seeing Yamcha's intimidating posture, Oolong quickly shoved Ray Chu forward.
"You mean this yellow mouse is your fighter? Ha ha ha! That's hilarious!" Yamcha and Puar burst out laughing, clutching their stomachs.
Ray Chu had planned to remain an observer, watching the first meeting between Goku and Yamcha. Unexpectedly dragged into the spotlight, a vein bulged angrily on his forehead.
Yamcha drew the blade at his waist. "Heh, looks like you're ready to take a stroll to heaven…"
Ray Chu abruptly whipped out a sign and scribbled something quickly. Curious, Puar asked, "What's he writing?"
Ray Chu raised the sign, which depicted Oolong with a caption:
[You can have this pig—let us go.]
Oolong instantly paled, nearly throwing himself at Ray Chu's legs in tears. Even if he hadn't exactly been helpful lately, he'd at least contributed—he didn't deserve to be abandoned so easily!
"Shut up! Who wants that pig?" Yamcha impatiently swung his sword to scare them.
Now! Ray Chu jumped clear of the blade, flicking his tail sharply across Yamcha's face, sending him flying backward.
"Lord Yamcha!"
"My handsome face!" Yamcha clutched his cheek, kneeling painfully. He didn't need a mirror to know half his face had swollen up.
Watching Yamcha get knocked away, Goku exclaimed admiringly, "Wow! Ray Chu, you really are strong!"
"You've really pissed me off now. Time to get serious!" Yamcha's face burned with pain, his gaze turning fierce. "Take this—[WOLF FANG FIST]!"
