The tall officer stood behind Bulma with his gun aimed at her, while the shorter one ran ahead to block her path.
"You little brat, you really don't know what's good for you!
Let me tell you—once you step into this town, you follow our rules.
Dragon or tiger, you bow your head all the same.
You know why everyone on this street obeys us?
Because anyone who ever fought back is already dead!"
The two officers closed in on her again.
But Bulma wasn't scared at all. She shouted, "Goku, hurry up!"
In the next instant, a streak of light shot in.
A figure slammed straight into the two officers.
When Goku's form became clear, both Rabbit Gang soldiers were sprawled on the ground, limbs flailing.
Their pistols had been knocked dozens of meters away.
The street vendors and shopkeepers on both sides were completely stunned.
The butcher hurriedly hid his cleaver and abandoned his stall, running for his life.
The fruit vendor had just finished picking up his overturned stand—only for it to collapse again, oranges and apples rolling everywhere.
The tea stall owner sat on the ground in a daze, staring at Goku, Bulma, and the two Rabbit Gang soldiers.
Even the dog that had been kicked earlier watched with suspiciously human glee.
The cold-drink shop owner broke into a cold sweat.
"It's over… it's really over. You two… you've caused a huge disaster!"
The few pedestrians still on the street fled in panic.
"Run!"
"Something terrible is going to happen!"
Seeing everyone this terrified over just two soldiers, Bulma was shocked.
"Is it really that bad? This is a town—don't you have any law here?"
Just then, all the shops on the street slammed their doors shut, closing up.
Bulma blinked.
"Everyone's hiding… this feels really bad."
She looked at Goku.
"Goku, did we provoke someone really dangerous?"
Goku had been waiting for a mission, but since nothing tragic had happened yet, the system stayed silent.
He casually drew the Power Pole and grinned.
"Don't worry, Bulma.
No matter who it is, I'll take care of them."
Bulma nodded hard.
"I knew you'd say that. You're the one who makes me feel safe."
At that moment, a rabbit-themed car pulled up in front of them.
A rabbit in sunglasses swaggered out.
"How embarrassing. Who's the idiot that dared to oppose the Rabbit Gang?"
The two fallen soldiers scrambled up and pointed at Goku and Bulma.
"Boss! Boss, it's them!"
The Rabbit Boss snorted. "Useless trash—losing to a woman and a kid."
He walked toward them.
But Goku knew exactly how dangerous this guy was.
He wasn't about to gamble on whether he'd get turned into a carrot.
Without hesitation, he swung his staff and smashed it down.
Bam!
The Rabbit Boss screamed and fell on his butt, howling in pain.
The two soldiers panicked.
"Boss, are you okay?!"
"Leader, are you hurt?!"
Even without using his full strength, Goku's blow could shatter mountains.
Yet the Rabbit Boss hadn't died—or even passed out.
Goku was impressed.
"Not bad. You're the first one to take my staff and still be alive.
Looks like I need to finish the job."
He raised the Power Pole again.
The Rabbit Boss immediately dropped to his knees.
"I was wrong! I won't do evil anymore! Please spare me!"
The two underlings froze, then hurriedly knelt as well.
"We're sorry! We'll never do bad things again!"
Bulma was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Hehe! You don't know you're wrong—you just know you're about to die!"
[In your previous life, you were too kind.
Even though the Rabbit Gang committed countless crimes, you didn't kill them.
Your life has restarted.
They're only afraid now—they haven't truly repented.
Once you leave, they'll continue to be a disaster for others.
Mission: Exterminate the Rabbit Gang.
Reward: Battle power +10.]
Ten points again.
The system was back to its honest, no-nonsense style.
"Bulma, turn around."
Bulma paused, then understood and covered her eyes, turning away.
The next moment, a Kamehameha glowed in Goku's hands.
"You're lucky you ran into me.
If it were anyone else, you might've survived."
The three froze in horror.
Before they could react, the beam fired.
A flash of white light—and all three were erased, blown into nothing.
Even the street was left with a massive crater.
When the light faded, Bulma slowly turned back.
"Goku… you didn't have to use that move just to kill them, did you?"
Goku casually dusted off his hands.
"I didn't want their blood to dirty the street,
and I didn't want them to suffer—
so I cremated them all at once."
Bulma's lips twitched, then she gave him a thumbs-up.
"Heh… you really are a living Bodhisattva."
"Too kind, too kind."
"…"
The shopkeepers and vendors, seeing the Rabbit Gang wiped out, didn't panic—instead, they cheered.
By then, Bulma's car was fully refueled, and all the fuel cans were filled.
The gas station owner even refunded their money in gratitude.
They didn't linger.
Bulma stepped on the gas, and the two of them left the town behind.
[Mission: Exterminate the Rabbit Gang — Completed.
Reward: Battle power +10 received.]
The increase wasn't huge, but at his current level, this kind of growth was already insane.
Low level meant focusing on steady development—and Goku was more than satisfied.
He felt the surge of power and smiled.
"So now my battle power is 78. I'm almost catching up to Master Roshi.
If I keep completing missions like this… I can't even imagine how strong I'll be when I grow up."
They hurried toward the location of the final Dragon Ball.
As they passed through a field covered in giant mushrooms, a robot stepped out to block their path.
Inside it was a dog-faced creature—clearly Shu from the Pilaf Gang.
"Hehehe… caught you.
If you don't want to die, hand over the Dragon Balls!"
Bulma blinked, then smirked.
"Goku, beat him up for me."
"You got it!"
