Chapter 9 - Oolong

Seth and Bulma were in front of the entrance to a small rural village, it was possible to see the plantations outside, while inside the village there were a few dozen houses.

The sun shining in the sky marked the end of the morning, it was almost noon. The silence in that village was abnormal, it even seemed like an empty place.

Walking into the village, with the dragon radar in her hands, Bulma had a confused expression "This place seems very quiet, could it be that there is no one living here?"

Seth shook his head "If there was no one living here, the houses wouldn't be so well kept... They're quiet, but I can feel that there are dozens of people around"

"You can also sense people?" Bulma questioned, not seeming surprised by yet another one of her abilities.

"I'm not that good at it yet, but being this close, I can at least feel that there are a large number of them" His training was very focused on controlling his Ki, so sensing the presence of other people was possible.

"Why are they all silent inside their houses, did something happen?" Bulma wondered, looking around and finding only closed doors.

"I don't know, but the dragon ball must be with one of them, so let's see if anyone can help us" As he said this, Seth approached a door and knocked "I know there's someone in there, how about opening it so you can answer a question for me?"

Seth's hearing was sharp enough to hear gasps of fear coming from inside the house. He knew everyone was afraid it was Oolong, but he didn't care.

"Well, we're going to have to do this the violent way" Without even bothering to try a second time, he kicked the door open.

The loud sound rang throughout the small village. Bulma saw the door being forced open, so she looked inside, trying to see something, but because it was very bright outside and very dark inside, it was difficult to see anything.

Seth also looked inside the house, but he saw something that made him smile 'Looks like my luck is in order, I hit the right house'

The next moment, Bulma saw an old man with a thick bald patch running towards Seth and attacking him with an axe.

Before the ax could touch a hair on his head, Seth grabbed the man's hand in midair, then glared at him coldly "Do you wish to die?"

He had been gentle enough not to turn the old man's hand into a pulp of flesh and blood, but his grip still caused him severe pain.

With a cry of pain and frustration, the man fell to his knees "Please Oolong, forgive me! You can take all my money, all my food, or whatever you want, just don't take my daughter, I beg you!"

"Daddy!" A female voice sounded from inside the house and Seth could see the girl who looked no older than 14.

"Why the fuck would I want your daughter? You crazy old man, you attack me and then talk shit!" Seth released his grip.

Bulma appeared beside him, looking at the man who was begging on his knees on the floor "I know we are wrong to destroy your door, but what makes you think we would take your daughter?"

Looking through the round lenses of his glasses, the man made a surprised and confused expression upon seeing the blue-haired girl.

"You... You're not Oolong?" He questioned, looking at the young man before him.

"No, and I have no idea who that is, but that's a stupid question to ask after you've already attacked me..." Seth took a deep breath before snorting, "I'll let you live, since it looks like someone is trying to take your daughter and that's why you attacked me, right?" His tone held a bit of threat.

Despite his youthful appearance, Seth had a certain aura about him, which allowed him to intimidate others when he tried.

The man trembled, but felt grateful and relieved. The girl who was hiding before ran to her father and hugged him on the ground.

"I apologize" The man said as he hugged his daughter back "As you said, there is someone who intends to take my daughter... In fact, he will arrive at any moment, that's why I thought it was you and attacked you"

Bulma was surprised and full of doubts "Does this person look like Seth?" She stared at the young man, before turning her gaze to the man who got up from the ground "I've never seen anyone with a similar hairstyle, is it really someone very similar for you to confuse them?"

Meanwhile, outside the house, several doors and windows slowly opened, all the residents had heard the sound of the door being broken down, which made them curious.

They expected to see the scene of the poor girl being taken away by the terrible Oolong, but obviously that was not what was happening.

In the house, the man shook his head "It's not that they look similar, the truth is that Oolong can transform into anything, and since he warned me that he would come at this time, I thought he would be the one invading my house"

Seth looked at the girl next to the man 'In the anime she looked like a little girl, but she's a teenager. That dirty pig must be the same age as her, but kidnapping girls? Even though I know they're enjoying their new lives, that's insane'

While Seth was thinking about how he should deal with Oolong, the man began to tell him everything they were suffering because of that terrible monster.

"Oolong is a monster, whose true appearance no one knows. He has been tormenting us for months, at first he only asked for our food, soon he began demanding money and valuable belongings, but the worst is that he began taking the girls of the village" You could see the fear, sadness, anger and indignation on his face, as each word was spoken.

"He says he liked a girl and tells her parents to prepare her for him to leave, saying that the girl will be his new bride... Three girls have already been taken and we have no news of them, we don't even know if they are alive..." The man clenches his fist tightly, before looking at his daughter.

"Yesterday he appeared out of nowhere here in the village, in the form of a huge ogre and said that he had liked my little daughter, he told me to get her ready for him to pick her up today, at this time... That perverted monster has taken everything of ours, and now even the girls, threatening to kill anyone who contradicts him, no one dares to face him, but I couldn't let him take my daughter, so I planned to attack him, even if it was in vain"

After hearing that whole terrible situation, seeing the man's bitter and pained expression, Bulma smiled with her eyes, having an idea.

Taking a dragon ball out of her backpack, she showed it to the man and asked "Do you happen to have one of these with you?"

Confused by the girl's sudden question, the man adjusted his glasses and looked at the dragon ball "No, I've never seen anything like that"

Seth, knowing Bulma's plans, said "Someone from the other villagers must have a very similar one. Give it to us and I'll deal with this Oolong for you"

The blue-haired girl smiled as she looked at him, very happy that he understood her plan without even exchanging a word.

The man looked at Seth with eyes full of distrust "How do you intend to deal with that monster? Oolong can transform into a huge beast and devour you, it's suicide to try to face him..."

Seth snorted, "Do you think I'm weak like you guys?" He then picked up the axe that was dropped on the ground, holding onto its blade, he casually bent it until it broke into several pieces "Is that enough for you to trust my words? Or would you rather I just let this Oolong continue attacking you guys? Because honestly, I can just steal what I want from you guys, I'll just need to find out who it's with"

He had made it clear, he was not the hero who was trying to save that village, but just someone who was willing to exchange favors.

While the conversation was going on, several of the residents approached the house, then saw the unknown duo.

Seth had not failed to notice the presence of so many people murmuring, so he said to the man "Decide if you want my help now, see who has the sphere and give it to me, otherwise you better prepare for Oolong's arrival"

The man was visibly scared, for him Seth's display of strength was enough to make him wary "Alright! We're going to need your help!"

...

While the man talked to the other villagers, telling them about what had happened and also asking who had the dragon ball, Seth and Bulma stood together in the center of the village, where there was a large tree.

"If he didn't agree to trade the Dragon Ball for our help, would you really steal from them?" Bulma asked curiously, as she leaned her back against the tree trunk.

"It would be the easiest way, it's not like they need that dragon ball anyway. If they value an object they don't even understand more than their daughters, then they would be a bunch of trash who don't even deserve to live" Seth said with a sincere expression.

The girl was surprised "I hadn't thought of it that way, it makes sense. I didn't know you were that heroic" She smiled.

"Heroic? I wouldn't say that, after all I'm not the type of person who risks themselves for strangers. If this was a complicated situation, that put our lives at risk, I would have just stolen the dragon ball and left" He replied.

Soon that same man walked up to them, carrying a dragon ball in his hands "Here it is! Please deal with that monster and if possible, find out where he is keeping the other girls"

With a wide smile on her face, Bulma took the dragon ball in her hand "Rest assured that this Oolong will be no match for Seth!"

Seth in turn gave a slight nod "You can stay in your homes, or watch from outside if you're not afraid, I don't care" He then turned to the girl beside him "You can also hide if you want"

Bulma leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the lips "Good luck, even if you don't need it"

Seth smiled as he looked at the girl and all the villagers hiding inside their houses again.

It didn't take more than a few minutes for a figure to appear before his eyes, entering the small village wearing a white suit and with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

A red ogre, over four meters tall, with a pair of pointed horns on its head. It had an excited smile on its grotesque face, walking towards the center of the village, where Seth was.

Suddenly a laugh rang out, drawing the big ogre's attention to the tree, where a young man was laughing, as if he had heard a great joke.

"You're quite the bluffer, aren't you? Taking on such a frightening appearance while your strength isn't even at a normal level" Seth said through his laughter.

Oolong looked confused and angry "Who are you? Are you trying to get eaten? Get out of here before I wrap you up for dinner"

"How do you change your appearance? That looks like a lot of fun" Suddenly Seth had appeared beside him, and was touching his leg "It looks like something and not just an illusion, but that's not your true size, is it? It would be pathetic for someone your size to be so weak"

Surprised by his speed, Oolong looked at him in astonishment, but quickly hid his surprise and gave him an angry look "What are you talking about? You think I'm weak, you'll regret it when I devour you!"

"If you had the ability to do that, you wouldn't be talking and would have done it already, or are you going to say that you want to be nice to me, while you're here to kidnap a little girl?" Seth's gaze turned cold "What do you think of a fair trade? You teach me how to transform my appearance like you do, tell me where the other girls are and leave this village alone, in exchange I won't kill you"

Before Oolong could bluff again, Seth had already given him a light kick, which was enough to make him lose his balance, and in the next second, Seth had his hand on the back of the ogre's neck, rubbing his face on the ground.

A movement so fast that neither Oolong nor the villagers who were watching hidden could see Seth flying in the meantime, they only noticed the ogre's head hitting the ground.

Oolong let out a huge cry of pain, he felt like his nose had been broken, but it hadn't, it just bled a little.

"If you were even a worthy person, I would play with you a little, but you are not worth my time, so spare me your bluffs and idiocies. Tell me, will you accept my deal, or would you rather die?" Seth said, holding the ogre's head against the ground.

Fear crept into Oolong's mind, the pain was intense and the words he heard took away his confidence "Alright!! I accept!" His voice sounded muffled.

Author's Note: Honestly, I could make this "fight" longer, but Oolong isn't even as strong as an adult, Seth knows the truth, so it would just be him playing around... In short, Oolong doesn't deserve this much, he's worse than Master Roshi in his perversions and besides, he doesn't do anything useful.
