"Roar!!!"
Goku let out a loud roar, a mighty aura swept through like a raging storm, blowing sand and stones around him. His feet continuously trampled the earth, causing destruction all around; the castle was destroyed in the blink of an eye.
"Oh no, he has noticed us," after wreaking havoc, Goku noticed Ryoha and the others, so he charged toward them.
"No choice, I have to fight a Great Ape with a Great Ape," Ryoha looked up at the moon in the sky. Bulma wanted to stop him, but it was too late because he knew that after transforming into a Great Ape, he would lose his rationality.
"Roar!!!"
In an instant, Ryoha had grown enormously, transforming into an equally large Great Ape. Feeling the fierce aura from Goku, as if being provoked, Ryoha charged forward directly, engaging in a physical clash without any extra frills.
"Are they two brothers?" Yamcha asked foolishly.
"No, they just share the same ethnicity," Ryoha's strength was evidently superior to Goku's. Ryoha had a combat power close to thirty, so defeating Goku was no problem. However, at this moment, Ryoha had lost his rationality. His mind was influenced by an extremely fierce and aggressive aura, leaving only two words: slaughter and destruction.
"Roar!!"
Ryoha suddenly let out a loud roar, swiftly leaping behind Goku. Despite losing rationality, his terrifying combat instincts, honed over many years, were displayed vividly. He ruthlessly pounded Goku with a heavy punch and then sat on top of him, unleashing a barrage of punches that knocked Goku out cold.
Seeing the target immobilized, Ryoha lost interest and turned his gaze back to Yamcha and the others.
"No way, after defeating Goku, an even stronger opponent arrives," Yamcha and the others didn't know what to do.
Seeing Ryoha's fist coming directly at them, Yamcha and the others hurriedly fled, while Bulma remained in place.
"Bulma, do you want to die? Hurry, run!" Oolong shouted loudly.
"I trust him. You promised to protect me forever, and you won't let anyone hurt me!" A slight shimmer appeared in Bulma's eyes. The sharp gusts from the punches made her hair flutter, and everyone couldn't bear to keep their eyes open. After a while of silence, they opened their eyes to find Ryoha's massive fist had stopped right in front of Bulma.
Eyes that were once filled only with the intent to kill and destroy now flickered with hesitation, struggle, memories, and pain. Finally, clutching his head, he roared at the moon in the sky. His entire body erupted in light, visibly shrinking at an astonishing speed. Eventually, he returned to his original form. Contrary to expectations, after shrinking, he didn't transform into a Super Saiyan 4. Instead, relying on his love for Bulma, he managed to regain his sanity, reverting from the Great Ape to his original form.
"Huff, huff," Ryoha knelt on the ground, gasping for air. He had nearly killed Bulma just now. If it weren't for Bulma's tears and that sentence that rekindled his memories blocked by the Great Ape's murderous aura, he might have committed an irreparable mistake.
"Are you okay, Ryoha?" Bulma walked over and embraced Ryoha in concern, thinking Ryoha had been affected by something.
"I'm fine. Instead, I gained an unexpected discovery. Maybe I can control it even if I transform in the future." Indeed, Goku managed to control his ferocity after transforming into a Super Saiyan 4 with Pan's help. In the future, even if he transformed into a Great Ape, or even a Super Saiyan's Great Ape form, it wouldn't affect him.
"That's good!" Bulma was surprised to learn that Saiyans could revert from being a Great Ape back to their original form under the moon's light using sheer willpower.
"Remember, Goku is just unconscious because of my attack. Cut off his tail!" Ryoha rested for a while and managed to recover significantly.
Yamcha, looking dumbfounded, didn't hesitate. He grabbed Puar, who transformed into scissors, and dashed over at the fastest speed. With one swift motion, he cut off the tail. Goku reverted to his original form, displaying a docile sleeping appearance, which gave no hint of his previous Great Ape form.
The next morning, Goku found his clothes missing, replaced by much larger ones. He looked around in confusion. "Where are my clothes?"
"You destroyed your clothes yourself!" Ryoha didn't know how to explain it properly.
"How come? These clothes are so loose!" Goku quickly shifted his attention, examining his attire.
"Of course, they're loose; they were mine," Ryoha retorted irritably. This guy remained as clueless as ever.
"So, Ryoha, you like my clothes!" Goku finally understood. "If you want them, I can trade with you."
"Who wants your clothes? Forget it!" Ryoha was speechless. Did he think his clothes were Bulma's undergarments? Why would I want his clothes? Bulma and the others couldn't help but laugh at Goku's words.
"My tail's missing. Walking feels weird now." Goku was preoccupied with walking and didn't pay much attention to these details.
"Goku, I'm leaving. I think Master Roshi might let you participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament, and I'll join too," Ryoha knew that Saiyans' improvement came from both combat and training; one couldn't do without the other.
"Alright!" After getting used to walking, the obedient Goku nodded and jumped onto the Flying Nimbus, flying away swiftly. Meanwhile, Ryoha and Bulma soared towards a nearby town. They hadn't slept well the previous night; having completed their task in the Dragon Ball world, it was time to take a break.
"Get out of the way, get out!" As soon as they entered the town, they noticed no one around except the sound of police sirens and a melodious but violently-toned woman's voice, accompanied by the crackling sound of gunfire.
"That's Launch!" Ryoha didn't expect to encounter Launch with blonde hair here. But considering her current location was near Master Roshi's island, it wasn't surprising that Goku had found her.
However, Launch suddenly sneezed, turning from a fierce and wild person to a gentle and helpless beauty. She seemed completely clueless, about to be caught by the approaching police, showing the most innocent side of this inherently simple-hearted Launch.
Frequently affected by trouble caused by blonde-haired Launch, even leaving her homeless and wandering around, she seemed to cherish having a stable home. Even though she had stayed at Master Roshi's for a while in the anime, she eventually left due to the influence of the blonde-haired Launch.
Ryoha extended a hand, releasing a Ki blast that exploded on the police car with a thunderous roar. Then, he swiftly caught the blue-haired Launch and returned to Bulma's side, quickly leaving the area.
