Meanwhile, far away on Master Roshi's Island, everything was peaceful and calm.
The blue ocean gently washed against the white sand. Seagulls circled in the sky, crying loudly.
"Vrrr—"
The sound of an engine approached from the distance.
A sleek white jet helicopter slowly descended onto the open area near the island. The spinning blades stirred the palm leaves around it.
The door opened.
A young woman with long blue hair, wearing a stylish dress, jumped out gracefully.
It was Bulma.
She walked toward the house with a bright smile and pushed open the door.
"Hi everyone! Long time no see!"
Inside the house, Master Roshi, Krillin, and the turtle were chatting.
Hearing her voice, they all turned around.
When they saw Bulma, their faces immediately lit up.
It's worth mentioning that after Broly had "politely encouraged" Krillin to leave the island earlier, Krillin wandered around for a while. Eventually, with nowhere else to go and assuming Broly had calmed down, he shamelessly came back.
Broly didn't object.
After all, the second floor belonged to him and Launch.
Krillin and Roshi could do whatever they wanted downstairs.
Everyone minded their own business.
"Bulma!" Krillin jumped up happily.
The turtle slowly crawled over and nodded politely.
Master Roshi's eyes suddenly sparkled.
He rushed toward Bulma with surprising speed and opened his arms as if to hug her.
Bulma's face instantly darkened.
She dodged sideways.
"Long time no see!" Roshi said awkwardly, pretending to sigh.
"You youngsters are heartless. I invited you all many times, but no one ever came to visit this lonely old man."
While talking, his eyes naturally wandered over Bulma.
Bulma rolled her eyes.
"Here. I brought snacks for you. Now shut up."
She shoved a box of sweets into his hands.
Roshi happily accepted them.
But his old habits remained.
"It's been so long… my hands almost forgot the feeling…"
He slowly moved closer again.
"Let me try—"
BAM!
Bulma punched him straight on the head.
"Ow!"
Roshi crouched down holding his head as a huge bump formed instantly.
"You really have no sense of humor," he complained tearfully.
"You're still the same dirty old man!" Bulma shouted angrily.
Krillin quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, Bulma… where's Yamcha?"
"Don't mention that idiot!"
Bulma immediately exploded with anger.
"How should I know where that jerk went? I came here to relax because I was so annoyed with him!"
"Did you two argue again?" Roshi asked cautiously.
Bulma ignored the question.
"Where are Broly and Launch?"
"They're upstairs playing with their child," Roshi replied with a smile.
"Not to mention, Bulma," Krillin teased,
"Broly and Launch are so efficient. Their kid is already four years old!"
"You and Yamcha have been together forever and still no child!"
"Shut up!" Bulma snapped.
"Say one more word and I'll twist your bald head off!"
Krillin wisely stopped talking.
Just then, footsteps sounded on the stairs.
Broly slowly walked down.
Behind him came Launch, holding the hand of a small boy.
The child looked about four years old.
He had black hair identical to Broly's.
And behind him—
A fluffy tail swayed happily.
He looked like a miniature version of Broly.
"Bulma! Long time no see!" Launch greeted warmly.
She gently nudged the boy.
"Branch, say hello to Aunt Bulma."
"Hello Aunt Bulma."
The little boy bowed politely.
Bulma crouched down and examined him.
"Wow… he looks exactly like Broly when he was young."
"It's like he's a clone."
Broly's genes were terrifyingly strong.
Master Roshi laughed.
"This reminds me of when we first met Broly years ago."
"So many years have passed…"
Bulma nodded thoughtfully.
Looking at Launch and Broly standing together, she couldn't help feeling a little envious.
Launch really had good taste.
She chose the right man.
Roshi suddenly sighed nostalgically.
"I still remember when we first met Bulma…"
"She was very generous with rewards back then."
Bulma's face instantly turned black.
That old pervert.
She glared at him.
Back then, it was all because of Goku's innocence that Roshi had tricked her.
Bulma suddenly smirked.
"Old turtle, there's something you probably still don't know."
Roshi suddenly felt uneasy.
"What?"
"Do you remember Fire Mountain?"
Roshi's eyes sparkled.
"Of course! I used the Kamehameha to extinguish the fire!"
"And afterward…"
He looked at Bulma excitedly.
"You rewarded me…"
Bulma smiled wickedly.
"The person you kissed and licked that day…"
"Wasn't me."
"It was Oolong using his transformation!"
"You were actually kissing a pig!"
The room exploded with laughter.
Roshi froze.
Then his face turned pale.
"…What?"
His worldview shattered instantly.
He rushed toward the bathroom.
"BLEEHHHH!!"
Violent vomiting echoed from the toilet.
"I… I kissed a pig?!"
He almost cried.
Meanwhile, Bulma wiped tears of laughter.
Then she asked Launch,
"Does your son eat as much as Broly?"
Launch nodded gently.
"His appetite is amazing."
Krillin sighed dramatically.
"Bulma, please donate some money!"
"Master Roshi is going bankrupt feeding Broly and Branch!"
Bulma crossed her arms.
"No."
"Our family worked hard to earn our money."
Krillin collapsed dramatically.
"So heartless…"
Bulma then looked at the child again.
"Branch… that name is interesting."
Launch explained.
"It's from Broly's 'Bro' and my 'Lan'."
Bulma nodded.
Then she whispered to Krillin.
"What about Broly and the blonde Launch?"
Krillin wiped sweat nervously.
"…Still not getting along."
"Even after five years?"
Bulma was shocked.
Krillin whispered quietly.
"Actually… when Branch was born…"
"It was blonde Launch who gave birth."
Bulma's eyes widened.
"What?!"
"So whose child is he?!"
Krillin shrugged helplessly.
"Same body… different personality."
"Broly and blonde Launch still don't get along."
Bulma stared at the strange family.
They were truly… unique.
At that moment, little Branch tugged Broly's sleeve.
"Dad… lift me!"
His tail wagged excitedly.
Broly nodded.
He easily lifted the boy onto his shoulders.
Branch grabbed his father's hair.
"So high!"
"I can touch the ceiling!"
His laughter rang like silver bells.
Suddenly a familiar voice shouted from outside.
"Hey!!"
Everyone froze.
"That's Goku!" Krillin shouted excitedly.
Everyone hurried outside.
Standing on the beach was Son Goku, wearing his orange gi and smiling brightly.
"Hey everyone! Long time no see!"
Bulma ran toward him.
"Goku!"
Krillin punched his shoulder playfully.
"You finally remembered us after five years!"
Goku laughed.
Then Bulma noticed something.
A small boy was standing beside him.
The child had black hair and large gentle eyes.
And behind him—
A tail.
Krillin gasped.
"Goku… is that…?"
Goku smiled proudly.
"My son."
He placed the boy gently on the sand.
"This is Son Gohan."
Everyone stared in shock.
"Broly has a son…"
"Now Goku does too…"
Master Roshi stroked his beard and chuckled.
"Time really flies."
The warm sea breeze blew across the beach as everyone stood together once again.
