Elsewhere—
Bulla stood excitedly within a volcanic battlefield filled with rivers of magma and burning stone.
Unfortunately for her—
Her opponent was Bojack himself.
But she still hadn't realized how serious the situation truly was.
Bulla looked at the massive green-skinned man across from her and confidently raised her fighting stance.
"You look pretty strong!"
"Perfect!"
"I'll use you to test the results of my training!"
Bojack crossed his arms casually.
Under the glow of the lava, his dark green skin reflected an eerie light.
He tilted his head slightly while examining the fearless little girl before him.
Then suddenly grinned.
"How strange…"
"What's wrong with Earth lately?"
"Even little girls have become this suicidal?"
Bulla puffed her chest proudly.
"Hey, big guy."
"You really shouldn't underestimate me."
"I can already transform into a Super Saiyan!"
Bojack raised a brow curiously.
"Super Saiyan?"
"What's that?"
Bulla froze for a second.
"…What?"
"You don't know about the legendary Super Saiyan?"
"The strongest warrior in the universe?!"
Bojack crooked his finger mockingly.
"Strongest warrior in the universe?"
"Never heard of it."
"Did the universe become this pathetic while I was sealed away by those Kaiōs?"
"Now random nobodies can call themselves the strongest?"
"How laughable."
"You—!"
Bulla instantly exploded with anger.
Golden aura erupted around her body.
Lightning crackled lightly as her hair turned gold.
She transformed into a Super Saiyan instantly.
"Take this!"
BOOM!!
Bulla shot forward as a streak of golden light, throwing a punch directly toward Bojack's chest.
But just before her fist connected—
She saw the mocking look in his eyes.
The next instant—
Bojack's figure blurred.
BAM!!!
An overwhelming impact exploded into Bulla's stomach.
Her eyes widened violently.
Blood sprayed from her mouth as her body folded like a shrimp before being blasted backward at terrifying speed.
BOOOOM!!
She crashed into a mountain wall, disappearing beneath shattered rock and smoke.
Inside the rubble—
Bulla lay there blankly for several seconds.
Only now did her brain finally process what had happened.
She had been hit.
No—
More importantly…
She hadn't even seen him move.
"…How is that possible?"
"I couldn't even see his attack…"
For the first time since becoming a Super Saiyan—
Bulla began doubting herself.
At that moment, Bojack's mocking voice echoed through the battlefield.
"Hmph."
"You're just a brat who still smells like milk."
"And you dared enter a tournament like this?"
Hearing the ridicule, Bulla's anger exploded again.
She burst out from the rubble and immediately fired a Kamehameha toward him.
"KAMEHAMEHAAAA!!"
The massive blue beam roared across the volcanic field.
Yet—
Bojack simply waved his hand casually.
SWISH!!
The entire Kamehameha was slapped aside effortlessly.
The beam exploded against a distant volcano.
Bulla's face turned pale instantly.
"…Impossible."
"I've been training this whole time…"
"How can I not even fight back at all?!"
Before she could recover—
Bojack suddenly appeared directly in front of her.
A glowing energy sphere condensed within his palm.
Then he shoved it straight toward her face.
Bulla's pupils shrank violently.
At that instant—
She genuinely smelled death.
"DAD!!"
"SAVE ME!!!"
Right at the critical moment—
Instant Transmission activated.
Son Goku appeared instantly beside her.
BOOM!!
His kick slammed directly into Bojack's face, launching the giant pirate away like a missile.
Bojack tore through an entire mountain before vanishing beneath collapsing rock.
Goku turned calmly toward Bulla.
"You alright?"
Bulla immediately nodded excitedly.
"I'm fine!"
"Dad, good thing you came quickly!"
"I almost died just now!"
"And this guy is insanely strong!"
"I can't even keep up with his speed!"
Goku nodded seriously.
"Yeah."
"You got unlucky."
"You ran straight into their leader."
Bulla blinked.
"…Wait."
"He's really the boss of those space criminals you mentioned?"
"Yep."
Goku nodded again.
"He's the leader."
"But don't underestimate the others either."
"With your current strength…"
"…you can't beat any of his teammates."
Bulla froze completely.
"…Seriously?"
Goku nodded honestly.
Immediately, Bulla's shoulders drooped.
She had thought becoming a Super Saiyan meant she had already become a true expert.
Instead—
The moment she stepped into the real world—
She almost got beaten into depression.
At that moment—
BOOM!!
The rubble exploded apart as Bojack flew back into the air.
He stared at Goku furiously before laughing wildly.
"You actually attacked me from behind?!"
"Let's see how you deal with THIS!"
BANG!!
His body shot forward like a cannonball.
The force behind his punch screamed through the air violently.
Yet Goku merely tilted his body slightly.
The fist capable of destroying mountains missed by mere centimeters.
"Too slow."
Goku's voice remained calm.
Bojack's pupils contracted.
Before he could react—
Goku's knee slammed upward into his abdomen.
BOOOOM!!
The impact launched Bojack thousands of meters into the sky.
Blood exploded from his mouth.
"I-Impo—"
Bojack barely stabilized himself midair before suddenly freezing.
Because Goku was already standing directly in front of him.
Golden aura surged around his body.
Blue lightning crackled endlessly through the air.
His hair stood even sharper now.
And the pressure radiating from him—
Was monstrous.
Bojack felt cold sweat erupt across his entire body.
Before he could even speak—
Goku punched.
BOOM!!!
Bojack barely raised his arms in time to defend.
CRACK!!
The horrifying sound of bones fracturing echoed instantly.
Bojack screamed as his body blasted backward again, smashing through multiple volcanoes before finally crashing into magma.
"AAAAARGH!!"
He exploded upward from the lava in rage.
His muscles expanded violently as his power surged again.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
Goku sighed lightly.
Then glanced toward Bulla.
"Watch carefully."
"This is what happens when someone doesn't know how to control their power."
"Blindly increasing strength without mastery only leads to defeat."
Bojack roared and attacked again.
His assault resembled a storm of destruction.
Every strike carried enough force to annihilate mountains.
Yet before Goku—
It all looked childish.
Too slow.
Far too slow.
Goku effortlessly dodged dozens of punches consecutively.
Not a single one touched him.
Bojack roared furiously:
"You bastard!"
"Why don't you take one punch instead of dodging?!"
Goku's eyes turned cold.
Then—
He threw a punch directly forward.
BOOOOOOM!!!
The fists collided head-on.
But instead of Goku being pushed back—
Bojack's fist exploded into a bloody mess instantly.
The terrifying recoil forced him backward several steps.
Goku slowly walked toward him while shaking his head in disappointment.
"So this is all you have?"
"You're nothing but a third-rate thug."
"If this is your limit…"
"…then you can die now."
At that moment—
Countless thread-like energy restraints suddenly wrapped around Goku's body.
His movements slowed slightly.
Goku immediately turned around.
Behind him—
The short psychic alien Bujin had returned.
Both hands stretched forward desperately while activating his psychic powers at full force.
Goku took one step toward him.
CRACK.
The psychic restraints shattered instantly.
"…WHAT?!"
Goku's voice turned ice-cold.
"I spared your life earlier."
"Not only did you not run…"
"…you actually dared attack me again?"
Pure killing intent erupted from his eyes.
Cold sweat poured down Bujin's forehead instantly.
In panic, he abandoned his psychic powers and hurriedly fired an energy blast toward Goku.
Goku casually waved one hand.
The blast was instantly deflected away.
Then—
Goku flicked a small ki sphere forward.
BOOM!!
The energy blast engulfed Bujin completely.
When the smoke disappeared—
Nothing remained.
Not even bones.
At that exact moment—
Another of Bojack's men charged toward Goku from behind.
The pineapple-haired warrior attacked wildly.
But Goku simply raised one hand casually and grabbed his left fist.
The man immediately tried to pull away—
Yet discovered he couldn't move at all.
His expression changed drastically.
He quickly threw another punch with his right hand.
But Goku didn't even bother dodging.
CRACK!!
With a violent twist—
Goku snapped the man's arm completely.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!!"
The warrior screamed in agony.
Then Goku fired another ki blast point-blank.
BOOM!!
The pirate exploded into ashes instantly.
At that same moment—
Bojack seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack from behind.
But Goku spun instantly.
BAM!!
A devastating roundhouse kick smashed directly into Bojack's face.
His nose shattered instantly.
The massive pirate spun violently through the air before crashing into the earth, creating a crater hundreds of meters wide.
Bulla stared blankly at the battlefield.
"…I-Is it over?"
Goku narrowed his eyes slightly.
"…Not yet."
