Time: Three years later.
Location: Shamirux Planet.
"Waaaah…"
"Dad! Mom!"
"Our child, our child!"
Beneath a massive spaceship, a group of ferocious space pirates was throwing young Shamiruxians into cages one by one. Two Shamiruxian parents tried to save their child, but one of the vicious pirates kicked them back.
"Get lost! If we didn't need you to make more brats, we'd have killed you all already!"
Looking down with cruelty, the space pirate spoke coldly.
"Why do you always come to take our children, you demons! You're all demons!"
Thrown harshly to the ground, the eyes of the two Shamiruxian parents were filled with hatred.
"Yes, we are demons!"
"Who else would we catch if not your valuable children?"
"Hahahaha!!!"
Amid the anguished stares of the Shamiruxians, the pirates laughed wildly.
The Shamiruxians are a peculiar race evolved from plants. They have green skin, and two large, emerald leaves grow atop their heads. As long as they have enough sunlight and water, they can convert energy to sustain themselves, going years without eating.
Additionally, Shamiruxians have the ability to accelerate plant growth. They can make a seed sprout and take root within minutes, or make a whole field bloom and bear fruit in just a few days.
Because of this, many so-called galactic aristocrats want a Shamiruxian as their personal gardener, and many farm owners desire one to hasten their crops. This makes Shamiruxians a popular slave species in the universe. Every year, many space pirates come to Shamirux Planet to capture young Shamiruxians.
Older Shamiruxians lose their powers, and adult Shamiruxians, even when sold, often try to escape. The young ones, however, are easy to control and brainwash, making them the top choice for slave owners.
The constant capture of their children to be sold as slaves is the sorrow of the Shamiruxians—a fate that has persisted for thousands of years.
"Dad! Mom!"
"Our child, our child!"
The large cage slowly lifted off the ground. The young Shamiruxians cried loudly while their desperate parents called out in vain.
They knew that once the cage was taken into the spaceship, they would never see their children again.
Many Shamiruxian parents begged tearfully, but the cold-blooded pirates merely laughed cruelly, unmoved by their pleas.
The Shamiruxians were not a combat-savvy race. The strongest among them had barely dozens of power points, while each of these pirates had at least a hundred. Forget stopping them from taking their children—destroying their entire planet would be easy for the pirates. There was nothing the Shamiruxians could do but cry out in despair.
However, at that very moment—
"What's going on over here?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and everyone saw a giant beast flying toward them from afar.
But the one speaking wasn't the dead beast—it was the girl beneath it, carrying a red staff and dressed in martial arts attire.
It was none other than Goku!
"Hilu, Milu, why are you in a cage? Are you playing a game?"
Tossing the giant beast aside, Goku flew to the cage that was almost inside the spaceship and asked the two Shamiruxian girls inside.
"Goku, those bad guys are taking us away!"
"Please save us, Goku, save us!"
"We're not playing any game!" the two Shamiruxian girls said urgently.
Hearing this, even the usually slow-witted Goku understood.
"Hey! You bad guys, why are you taking Hilu and Milu?"
"Hilu and Milu are my friends, let them go!"
Landing on the ground, Goku shouted at the group of space pirates.
"Not a Shamiruxian?"
"Where did this little girl come from, daring to meddle in our business?"
"Maro, go deal with her. Since she's not a Shamiruxian, it doesn't matter if we kill her."
"Heh heh, leave it to me. I love torturing little pests like her."
A space pirate named Maro stepped forward, his face twisted into a bloodthirsty grin. He licked his thick lips as if imagining the most painful way to make the girl scream.
"Hey kid, what's your name?"
"I'm Goku, Son Goku," she replied, clenching her fists and adopting the Kame School fighting stance.
"Son Goku? What a strange name."
"Whatever, it doesn't matter. You were stupid enough to get involved, so now I'll show you what hell feels like!"
With a vicious smile, Maro reached out his large hand to grab Goku.
But with a slight movement, Goku dodged his grasp, shot upward, and landed a punch straight into Maro's stomach.
"Ahh!"
His eyes bulging, Maro screamed, clutching his stomach as he staggered backward, eventually collapsing with a loud thud.
The area fell silent. Whether Shamiruxian or pirate, everyone stared in disbelief.
Maro was taken down with just one move?!
"Such a weak villain."
Clapping her hands, Goku remarked, and the rest of the pirates finally snapped out of their shock.
"Maro was taken down with one hit!"
"How can there be such a powerful being on Shamirux Planet? Check her power level!"
"5…50 points?"
"That's impossible! Maro had 300 points of power, how could someone with just 50 points beat him? The detector must be broken!"
"But my detector also shows she only has 50 points…"
The pirates carefully checked Goku's power level, each one looking more bewildered.
A mere 50-point girl defeated a 300-point pirate? Impossible! How?!
"Everyone, attack her together! Capture her first!"
"Yes!"
Although they couldn't figure out why a girl with only 50 power points could defeat Maro, they couldn't stand the fact that their comrade had been beaten. Furious, dozens of pirates charged at Goku to capture her.
With a sharp gaze, Goku didn't panic. She stepped forward, rushing toward the attackers.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
"Ugh!"
Minutes later, after watching Goku take down over a dozen of their comrades, the remaining pirates were left with their mouths agape, as if they'd seen a ghost.
Maro was one thing, but this time there were more than ten attackers! And the strongest one had over a thousand power points, yet even he was defeated!
Who on earth is this girl named Son Goku?!
