This Is Definitely Not Dragon Ball!!

Boom!!!

With a loud crash, the ground exploded into a massive pit more than ten meters wide.

A group of Shamiruxians covered their eyes in fright, but the pirate captain simply frowned.

In the instant his attack landed, the little Saiyan girl had disappeared!

But soon, the pirate captain realized what had happened.

Not far in front of him stood a figure with his back to him, holding the little Saiyan girl!

The figure had short black hair and carried a huge, peculiar fan on his back.

The pirate captain grew furious. Who was this person, daring to save the very person he intended to kill?

"Kid, who are you? Hand over that little girl!" the pirate captain shouted, and the figure turned to face him.

"I don't have time for you right now."

"Stay quiet, or I'll kill you."

The one who saved Goku was naturally Yuujin. Though his voice was calm, his gaze was icy, and the invisible pressure made the pirate captain freeze, feeling as if he had fallen into an icy pit.

His instincts screamed at him — this young man who had appeared suddenly was extremely dangerous! Extremely dangerous!

"Hah… It's Yuujin! Yuujin is back!"

"Thank goodness!"

"Brother Yuujin, that bad guy ambushed Goku from behind. Hurry, save her!"

Seeing Yuujin, the little Shamiruxians in the cage were filled with joy.

Yuujin nodded to the little ones, signaling them not to worry. He then looked again at the severely injured and weakened Goku in his arms.

"Goku, have you learned your lesson this time? Never show mercy to these bad people again, and never expose your back to an opponent."

Gently stroking Goku's forehead, Yuujin spoke.

In fact, Yuujin had returned earlier and had been secretly observing Goku's battle with the space pirates. He could have intervened at any moment, even when the pirate captain ambushed Goku.

But Yuujin had steeled himself, allowing the pirate captain's attack to hit Goku, only stepping in when the captain attempted to kill her outright.

As a purebred Saiyan, Goku had immense talent in both martial arts and combat. However, she had a significant flaw — she was too naive. She didn't understand the treachery and darkness of the world and often fell prey to deceitful enemies.

So Yuujin wanted to use this incident to teach her a harsh lesson.

"I… I understand, Yuujin…"

Goku, pale-faced and weak, replied.

Though her naivety was a flaw, it was also her strength. She never overcomplicated things and always took Yuujin's words as truth, never making the same mistake twice.

Yuujin smiled, rubbed her forehead again, and took out a Senzu Bean, feeding it to her.

"Eat this Senzu Bean to heal your injuries, then go finish off that wicked pirate captain."

"Okay…"

Crunching down on the Senzu Bean, Goku's wounds healed rapidly, and even some of her lost energy was restored.

During their three years of training in space, Yuujin and the others had faced many dangers, and the Senzu Beans they received from Korin had repeatedly saved their lives.

Time and again, they challenged powerful enemies. Without the Senzu Beans, they might have perished in some corner of the universe by now!

"Hey, you despicable villain! I won't trust you anymore. I'm going to finish you off right now!"

Standing up from Yuujin's arms, Goku angrily glared at the pirate captain.

"What?!!"

Seeing Goku's injuries heal so quickly, the pirate captain's eyes widened in shock.

But Goku no longer cared about his surprise. She had labeled him as a villain and would show no mercy.

Gathering her energy, she cupped her hands together and slowly brought them to her waist—

"Kame… hame… ha!!!"

A dazzling beam of energy shot from Goku's hands, blasting toward the pirate captain.

"Damn Saiyan! Don't think I'm really afraid of you!"

Realizing she intended to kill him, the pirate captain's desperation ignited his fury. He gathered his own energy and fired a beam to counter Goku's.

He had lost to her earlier due to her clever techniques, but this was a raw test of strength now. With his 3,000 combat power, how could he lose to a girl with only 1,500?

She dared to look down on him and humiliate him in front of all his crew! That damned Saiyan must die!

The two beams clashed in midair, but to everyone's shock, Goku's beam overpowered the pirate captain's and surged toward him!

"What?!!"

In utter disbelief and terror, the pirate captain's eyes nearly popped out, but Yuujin simply smiled knowingly.

In their three years of space training, Yuujin and Goku had visited countless planets and fought numerous so-called powerful opponents. But when it came to beam struggles, as long as their opponent's combat power wasn't several times higher, they never lost!

Even in the original Dragon Ball, it was the same: you could try anything, but never challenge anyone with the surname Son to a beam struggle. You'd lose!

Although plot armor might play a role, the real reason was the sheer power of the Kamehameha itself!

Earthlings, like the Shamiruxians, aren't a particularly combat-savvy race. Their bodies are fragile, and their strength is weak, so they focus on how to maximize their power. The Kamehameha is the ultimate technique, created by the Turtle Hermit, who was revered as the "God of Martial Arts."

In contrast, stronger alien races rely on brute force and often lack a systematic understanding of martial arts.

To them, technique is unnecessary trickery. Rather than wasting time on such things, they'd rather spend time strengthening their bodies and increasing their power.

They believe that if their beam is weak, it's simply because they aren't strong enough—power is everything!

This isn't to say one approach is better than the other; it's just that each race evolves differently based on their circumstances. Weaker races focus on efficiency, while stronger ones focus on raw strength.

Both approaches have their strengths and weaknesses, but true invincibility comes from combining the two!

Just like now, Goku, whose combat power was only half of her opponent's, easily overpowered him with her beam.

As the powerful Kamehameha surged toward him, the pirate captain let out an incredulous and terrified scream—

"Nooooo!!!!"
