Several hours passed.
"Ah—!"
Grandpa Gohan yelped, sitting up and rubbing his thigh.
Good thing I was prepared in advance…
That little rascal really bites hard…
Looking at the peacefully sleeping Kakarot, who was still grinding his teeth, Grandpa Gohan wasn't angry at all—instead, his gaze was full of affection.
…
West City – Capsule Corporation Headquarters.
At around 4:00 p.m., Dr. Brief received a phone call and hurried over to Ken.
Seeing her father head toward Ken, Bulma came running with a da-da-da across the floor.
"Ken, my daughter just called. She said she ran into an alien… The alien's spaceship broke down and she asked me to come help fix it," Dr. Brief explained honestly. "Do you have time? Could you come with me to check it out?"
"Sure, no problem." Ken nodded.
Dr. Brief's daughter?
That must be Bulma's older sister, Tights.
That would make sense.
Which means the alien she ran into is probably Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.
As a loyal Dragon Ball fan, Ken had of course read Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.
He'd even read those Bardock and Android 18 doujinshi, so how could he not read a canon spinoff that was officially confirmed by Toriyama-sensei?
Jaco the Galactic Patrolman wasn't just featured in his own manga—he even made cameo appearances throughout Dragon Ball Super.
Not only that, but the Dragon Ball Super manga introduced another elite member of the Galactic Patrol:
His name was Merus.
Merus was the most outstanding elite warrior in the Galactic Patrol.
And beyond that, he was secretly an angel-in-training.
Ken was even thinking it'd be nice to meet this angel-in-training someday.
And maybe, just maybe, through Jaco… he could.
"Dad, I want to go too!" Bulma chimed in quickly. "I want to see what the alien my sister met looks like!"
"Alright, alright. Let's all go together," Dr. Brief didn't object.
Da-da-da!
Bulma ran back into her room, returning with an energy gun in her hands.
"Bulma, why are you bringing a gun?" Dr. Brief was puzzled.
"If that alien dares to bully my sister, I'll shoot him!" Bulma gripped the gun tightly.
"Broly, let's go," Ken called to Broly, who had been dazing out while staring at the stars.
Broly did a sudden kip-up from the ground, flew over at high speed, and nodded obediently without asking a single question.
…
A remote island.
Jaco the Galactic Patrolman stood on a high ledge, gazing up at the sky with a serious expression.
Meanwhile, Bulma's older sister, Tights, was swimming in the sea like a mermaid.
Nearby, a rather haggard-looking old man with a white beard was wandering around aimlessly.
"So, I heard Jaco came to Earth on some kind of alert mission?" Tights surfaced from the water and asked the old man.
"Now that you mention it, I remember him saying a terrifying being was coming to Earth." The old man nodded solemnly.
"A terrifying being? What do you mean?" Tights climbed ashore and began drying herself with a towel.
"He said that being was coming to destroy Earth. I thought he was joking," the old man explained. "I remember he said their radar picked up a hostile alien planet launching a spaceship, and its destination seemed to be Earth."
"I'll go ask him myself." Tights began climbing the ledge and soon stood beside Jaco, greeting him.
"What is it?" Jaco asked without turning around.
"You said a terrifying alien is coming to Earth? Is that true?" Tights asked curiously.
"Yes. According to my calculations, it should land nearby, which is why I chose this place." Jaco looked up at the sky and nodded. "Based on the trajectory, it should crash down like a meteor."
"You'll defeat it, right?" Tights asked with a smile.
"If it's a kid, sure. But if it's grown up, I won't stand a chance," Jaco shook his head.
"Huh? Then what are you going to do?" Tights was starting to get nervous.
"What do you mean 'what'? I run, obviously. If Earthlings get wiped out, well… tough luck." Jaco said it like it was no big deal—even sounding a little self-righteous.
Tights: "…"
"So, as long as it's a kid that lands, you'll be fine?" she asked again.
"More or less. If they're around 3 to 5 years old, I've got it handled." Jaco nodded with confidence.
Tights silently wiped sweat from her brow.
Three to five years old?
That's the same age as my little sister…
You're seriously planning to beat up a 3-year-old? You call that heroic?!
"Still hasn't landed? Maybe it veered off course and ended up on another planet?" Tights asked.
"If that's the case, then lucky us," Jaco replied without turning around.
"Whatever, not gonna worry about it." Tights shook her head, then glanced at Jaco again. "By the way… your suit's material is pretty high-quality, huh?"
"Of course. But this isn't a full suit—it's just my chest armor," Jaco replied casually.
Tights immediately stood up, staring at him in shock. "Wait, what do you mean? You haven't been wearing pants this whole time?!"
"Is that a problem?" Jaco asked, totally unfazed.
"So you really haven't been wearing pants?!" Tights suddenly felt like she'd been tricked this whole time.
"Don't make it sound so indecent. That's just how people dress on my planet," Jaco huffed.
Tights leaned in and looked closely at his legs. They were unusually smooth and had a faint purplish tone with no distinct "components." She couldn't help but ask, "Then… how do you go to the bathroom?"
PSSHT—
Without rushing, Jaco sprayed two small jets of liquid from the top of his head.
"From here," Jaco pointed to the two tiny holes on his head.
Tights: "…"
"So… can you eat and pee at the same time? Wouldn't you accidentally drink your own pee?" she asked, giggling.
Jaco felt like his entire existence was being insulted.
What the hell are you even saying?!
"Do you always talk like this? I came to Earth for free to help you guys and this is the thanks I get?!" Jaco snapped.
"What's that 'dangerous alien' you mentioned like anyway? Does he pee the same way you do? Are you sure he won't end up drinking it by accident?" Tights was now thoroughly amused.
Jaco: "…"
"I'm not talking to you anymore," he growled, glaring daggers at her.
