The Lookout Age 737 Sunday December 10th 1988
Mr. Popo observed the countdown with a watchful eye as the Room of Spirit and Time's timer reached its conclusion. With a resonant ding, the chamber's door swung open, allowing a gentle fog to drift out. Kami emerged, accompanied by the children who now appeared older. The Saiyan kids had grown taller, shedding their baby fat. The humans had become leaner, and subtle muscles defined their forms. Bulma, in particular, had constructed an exoskeleton, Steel plating ran down her body intersecting at the waist and chest going down each limb cutting off at the hands and feet.
Mr. Popo inquired about their training, and Kami responded, "It went well, as you can see." Their reunion took them to their rooms, where they collected their belongings, although their clothes now barely fit their more mature frames.
Kami addressed them outside, his tone filled with a touch of concern. "Are you ready for this?"
Prince Vegeta, resolute, replied, "We have no choice. It's either they come to us or we go to them."
Bulma picked up the battery and slotted onto the back of the exoskeleton making it easier to move. The exoskeleton lit up the sides. She put on her hover boots slotting in the exoskeleton making a snapping sound. As the exoskeleton buckled into place. She tugged on the gloves as she buckled the gloves to the exoskeleton. She demonstrated her readiness by easily hovering off the ground. "I am ready," she declared, though she couldn't help but think about fixing the battery.
"I think we should visit Bora before heading to Egypt," suggested Bulma.
They all gathered at the edge and peered downward. Tarble and Cabba leaped off first, descending. The others followed suit, with Bulma tightly gripping Prince Vegeta to ensure a smooth descent. Launch laughed joyously, her yellow hair dancing in the wind, while Raditz followed closely behind. Tarble and cabba descended about a hundred feet. Vegeta yelled "hover now, i don't want to scrape your bodies off the ground." they complied as they slowed their descent. Turles zoomed after them to make sure they didn't die. They were safe as turles gave a thumbs up.
Gathering outside the cabin, the children knocked on the door, which soon swung open to reveal Bora. He stared at them in shock for a moment before breaking into a warm smile.
"You made it back, and you look stronger. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you've grown," he remarked.
The kids chuckled, and Prince Vegeta replied, "Climbing the tower was exhausting. Once we reached the tower, they gave us the water," he said, offering a half-truth.
"We're leaving now, but we wanted to let you know that we're not dead," added Bulma. With that, they bid farewell to Bora, leaving him with a head full of questions and the satisfaction that the legends were indeed true. He closed the door behind them as they headed off.
The children soared up into the sky, exploring the nearby city. The Saiyans had never visited a beach with humans before, and it seemed like an exciting prospect. They made their way westward to a beach that Bulma knew of in California. As they approached, they saw the beachfront with a bustling boardwalk lined with shops catering to tourists.
"Hey, Cabba, can you use your Stand power to make us invisible when we descend, so we don't draw too much attention?" Prince Vegeta suggested. An aura enveloped Cabba as nearby people blinked in confusion. They descended while Cabba released his Stand's effect, allowing the perplexed onlookers to go on their way.
"We'll need to buy some special clothing, called swimsuits, so we can go into the water," Bulma said, leading the way towards one of the beachside shops. The bell above the shop's door rang.
The moment they stepped into the beachside shop, a vibrant display of colorful swimwear greeted their eyes. Bulma and Launch wasted no time and started browsing the racks, searching for the perfect swimsuits. Meanwhile, an employee approached the Saiyans, offering assistance.
"It's your first time at a beach, isn't it?" the employee asked as they nodded in response.
After selecting their swimsuits and paying for them, they changed into their beach attire, stowing their clothes in a bag provided by the shop. As they exited, the shop's bell jingled, and a frantic girl with black hair rushed into them, causing her to tumble over. Bulma was quick to notice the distress on her face.
Concerned, she inquired, "What's wrong?"
The girl, named Chi-Chi, quickly explained her dire situation, "The notorious pirate Buggy and his crew have kidnapped the Ox-King, my father. Some of the crew members are vampires that only come out at night. I need help; I have nowhere else to go. They even blew up my home. They're demanding gold or unique items for his release. But I have this power that awakened when my dad was taken, and I don't know how to use it. I think I'm cursed. I don't know why I'm telling you this," she concluded, her voice trembling with sobs.
As the group left the beachside shop, Prince Vegeta's voice resonated with determination, "I think we might have some unique items to trade." He glanced down at the fruits they had bought, a plan forming in his mind.
Prince Vegeta said, "But we need to attack during the night."
"That's when the vampires wake up," said chi-chi.
Prince Vegeta responded, a sly grin crossing his face, "Exactly."
In the meantime, they enjoyed their time at the beach, making the most of the setting sun that cast a warm, orange glow over the horizon. Most of the beachgoers had gathered around to witness the beauty of the sunset. As the sun sank lower, some began to leave the beach.
A bonfire was lit, and the group of kids found a secluded area away from prying eyes, thanks to Cabba's Stand power. Chi-Chi watched in fascination as the aura around them dissipated, revealing the darkness around them. Her curiosity got the better of her, and she started bombarding them with questions.
The group patiently answered Chi-Chi's inquiries, explaining concepts like Stands, Saiyans, and even their ability to fly. Her mind was filled with wonder as she absorbed this new knowledge. As her eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, Chi-Chi blinked several times, surprised to find that the darkness seemed to grow lighter, allowing her to see more clearly.
"Hey, Chi-Chi, you have an aura around you," Turles remarked.
Chi-Chi gasped in realization, "I think I can see in the dark." The discovery left her both astonished and thrilled, as she felt herself taking another step into the world of the extraordinary.
Chi-Chi picked up a newspaper and began to read the text, her eyes quickly scanning the page.

Old news. Chi-Chi's father had told her that the election was rigged, though she wasn't entirely sure what that meant. Frustrated by the article, she tossed it into the bonfire, watching as it burned up and was carried away by the wind. She gazed at the sea, lost in thought.
Chi-Chi then turned to the group and asked, "Can you teach me to fly?"
Her companions offered guidance, each sharing their insights into flying with her."Oh it's easy since you are a stand user. Just focus within yourself and wish to fly." said launch. "Just meditate, and you will get this energy inside of you, push it out." said prince vegeta. "Oh that's what it is." said chi-chi feeling the power inside ever since she started martial arts training. Unsure what to do she formed an open ball at her side.
"I have been practicing my martial arts, meditation is key to a level head." said chi-chi as energy formed in her palms as she brought it forward, straightening her arms and opening her palms. A blue energy wave exploded out of her, sending her back knocking into raditz. creating a massive blue energy wave that parted the sea. The group watched in amazement.
Cabba and Tarble couldn't contain their excitement, celebrating her success. Chi-Chi, though pleased with her first attempt, looked up at Raditz and inquired about the correctness of her technique. Raditz informed her that she should direct the energy downward to ascend.
She pushed the energy downward all at once as she exploded into the sky. She ceased the energy as she began falling. She pushed just a little energy holding it. She stopped. "What do I do now?" she said with a hint of fear in her voice.
Prince Vegeta provided guidance, explaining how she could use her energy to move up and down, as well as lean in a direction to control her flight. With their help, Chi-Chi was on her way to mastering this incredible ability.
The night was moonlit, and the sea was calm as Chi-Chi, Prince Vegeta, and their companions approached the pirates' hideout. The plan was to rescue the Ox-King from the clutches of the notorious pirate, Buggy. Chi-Chi had just learned to harness her newfound flying ability, and now she was putting it to the test.
As they neared the pirates' location, they could see the flickering light of a bonfire in the distance. The crew was gathered around it, laughing and enjoying their ill-gotten gains. Buggy, the flamboyant leader of the pirates, was at the center of the merriment, wearing his signature colorful attire.
Chi-Chi and her friends landed silently nearby, hidden from view. They watched the scene unfold, with Cabaji, one of Buggy's crewmates, menacingly addressing the captive Ox-King.
"Release me now, I have a family. I will give anything you want," pleaded the Ox-King, desperation in his voice.
"Shut up," snarled Cabaji, delivering a stinging slap to the Ox-King's face. "Or we will gag you."
Chi-Chi's blood boiled as she saw the mistreatment of the Ox-King. She looked at her friends, determination gleaming in her eyes. Without a word, they understood the plan.
Chi-Chi would create a diversion by launching a powerful energy attack to catch the pirates off guard. At the same time, Prince Vegeta, Raditz, Turles, and the Saiyan siblings would rush in and free the Ox-King.
Chi-Chi rose into the air, her energy surging. She focused all her power into a concentrated blue energy sphere. The pirates were oblivious to the impending threat, laughing and jeering at the Ox-King.
With a forceful push of her hands, Chi-Chi released the energy sphere. It soared through the night sky, illuminating the darkness. The pirates finally noticed the incoming attack, but it was too late.
The energy sphere struck the ground with explosive force, sending shockwaves in all directions. The pirates were flung into the air, screaming in panic. The bonfire was extinguished, leaving them in the darkness, disoriented and vulnerable.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Prince Vegeta and his companions moved with incredible speed. They swiftly approached the tied-up Ox-King, who watched in awe as the Saiyans cut his restraints.
"We should make a hasty escape," Raditz exclaimed. However, before they could take any action, a circle of vampires closed in around them, herding the group into a tight formation. The Saiyans did their best to confront the undead menace while also protecting the humans, all while striving to avoid falling victim to vampirism themselves. They summoned their stands but they harmlessly passed through them.
Amidst the chaos, the vampires cleared a path for none other than Buggy the Clown. He stood there with an air of menace, extending his hand as he boldly declared, "We've got you surrounded. Have you got something to trade?" Raditz, maintaining a defensive stance, retorted, "How do we know this isn't some kind of trick?"
Buggy, never one to shy away from a grand gesture, replied, "I'll cut off my arm to show you I mean business." He signaled to Cabaji, who handed him a sword. With a swift motion, Buggy sliced off his own shoulder, allowing his arm to fall to the ground. Blood oozed from the fresh wound as he nonchalantly picked up his severed limb and tossed it at their feet, as though it were a routine act. "There you go. Are we on the same page now, or would you like another demonstration?" he taunted.
The group shook their heads, visibly queasy. "Now, let the negotiation commence!" Buggy announced with a theatrical flair, drum-rolling with one hand on his pants.
Raditz, pretending to reveal a prize, picked up a bag and pulled it open to expose the coveted Devil Fruit. "Legend has it these fruits grant incredible powers to those who consume them," he explained.
"Gimme, gimme!" Buggy eagerly jumped up and down. Cabaji seized the box and, without further ado, Buggy gave the command, "Store them on the ship and dispose of them. We've obtained what we came for."
"But you can't do this! What about your severed limb?" the children protested.
Buggy grinned mischievously and retorted, "You mean this?" The limb on the floor began to move, defying the attempts of Vegeta to crush it. It split into pieces and returned to Buggy, resembling a mocking farewell gesture as he turned away.
"I guess I don't have a choice," said the ox-king with determination. Chi-Chi clung to his legs, pleading for him not to go. "I'm sorry, princess, but Daddy had to do it," the ox-king explained firmly. Raditz carefully pried Chi-Chi off him, and the ox-king moved forward with resolve.
He continued, "This technique was passed down from master to student, all the way back to the great Tonpetty who discovered it." As he removed his ax, yellow lightning crackled from his fist to the blade, causing nearby vampires to wither and die. "Hamon Overdrive," he declared as he hurled the spinning ax, carving a path of destruction.
The vampires began to flee in terror as the ox-king reclaimed his ax. He then unleashed his Hamon energy, displaying various martial arts moves with finesse. The last vampire met his demise, and the scene grew tense.
Buggy the Clown, his expression shifting from anger to amusement, chimed in, "Your silly technique won't work on me and my crew." His associates, Alvida with her unique appearance, Richie the lion and his tamer Mohji, Galdino with his wax weapons, and Cabaji on stilts brandishing a sword, surrounded our heroes menacingly.
A voice from above interrupted, "Hey, Boogie." Buggy corrected, "My name is Buggy," only to hear laughter. The crew's expressions turned fearful as they sensed something big. The sound of rubber stretching filled the air as the voice declared, "Gomu Gomu no... Pistol!" A colossal fist struck Cabaji, leaving him defeated and motionless.
The fist retracted, and two legs extended downward. A figure in a straw hat descended, revealing several other figures emerging from the shadows. Among them, Monkey D. Luffy wore a beaming smile as his crew faced off against Buggy and his 's crew members displayed their unique personalities and abilities:

And lastly, Merus, the fearless soldier from the Galactic Patrol, added a sense of duty and strength to the mix.
Buggy, now trembling with fear, could hardly believe what he was seeing. "What, a Frieza Force and Galactic Patrol alliance," he muttered in shock. Realizing the gravity of his situation, he surrendered himself to the combined forces of the heroes. "Surrender and come peacefully. The Galactic Patrol finds you guilty," declared Merus, extending his hand. "attack." Said buggy.
With Buggy and his crew surrounded and the Straw Hat Pirates led by Monkey D. Luffy on one side, and the Galactic Patrol represented by Merus on the other, the tension in the air was palpable. Buggy, despite his initial bravado, could feel the weight of the situation bearing down on him.
In a daring move, Buggy bellowed, "Attack!" and his pirate crew leaped into action, charging with swords, maces, and various makeshift weapons.

As the battle raged on, the combined efforts of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Galactic Patrol proved formidable. Buggy's crew members fell one by one, their colorful leader at a loss for words. The pirates soon found themselves surrounded and outnumbered, unable to withstand the relentless onslaught.
With Buggy's surrender, the confrontation came to a close. The heroes had prevailed, and the balance of power shifted. As the dust settled and the defeated pirates were apprehended,
As the adrenaline from the epic battle started to subside, Cabba, Tarble, and Prince Vegeta couldn't contain their excitement. "That was epic!" they yelled in unison. "You guys fought like true Saiyan warriors," Prince Vegeta complimented his fellow Saiyans, his pride unmistakable.
However, the arrival of Merus, a member of the Galactic Patrol, piqued everyone's curiosity. His critical gaze, like that of an analyzer, made the group uneasy. Chi-Chi, ever protective of her father, questioned Merus with a hint of fear, "W-who are you?"
Prince Vegeta, never one to shy away from confrontation, made a bold remark. "I see one from the Galactic Patrol. I guess they aren't all cowards." His words drew a stern glance from Raditz, who swiftly stepped on Prince Vegeta's foot and tried to defuse the situation. "He meant no ill will towards you guys," Raditz explained, waving his arms in a placating manner.
Merus then introduced himself, acknowledging their intentions. "My name is Merus. I could sense that you meant no ill will. Thanks for the criticism. We will try to improve our soldiers," he stated while bowing slightly.
As the introductions continued, Monkey D. Luffy, the fearless captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, joined the conversation. With his characteristic grin and stretchy limbs, Luffy extended his hand, presenting a unique opportunity. "My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I want to be emperor of the Frieza Force. Sure, they are evil, but not all of them. I saw you fighting, and you were pretty good. Do you want to join my crew?" he asked, his enthusiasm infectious.
Merus chimed in, suggesting an alternative path for them. "You know, you would be a good patrolman," he remarked. However, Luffy shook his head, sticking to his pirate ambitions.
Bulma stepped forward and expressed their gratitude but declined the invitation. "I am deeply sorry, Mr. Luffy, but we have to decline. Most of us hate Frieza and what he has done. So I hope our friendship doesn't end. But thanks for saving us."
Luffy accepted their decision with a smile and understanding. "You do you. It's cool."
Merus reminded the group that it was time to depart. Luffy agreed, and with the prisoners in tow and all their loot, they were teleported away, leaving our gang behind to contemplate the new friendships forged and the adventures that lay ahead.
