In the last chapter of Dragon Ball, Goku and Bulma met the turtle hermit, Master Roshi, after helping his sea turtle friend return to the ocean. As a reward, Master Roshi bestowed on Goku a magical flying cloud, and to Bulma, he granted the three-star Dragon Ball. With four Dragon Balls in her possession, Bulma is well on her way to summoning the dragon god Shenlong and making her wish come true.

Using her handy radar, Bulma has tracked down the location of the next dragon ball, but when they arrive, it appears to be an abandoned village. Goku approaches one of the houses and knocks on the door. When nobody answers, he punches through and breaks the lock. Goku opens the door, but he quickly gets attacked by a man wielding an ax. The ax comes down on Goku’s head, but the ax breaks first. The man with the ax is shocked that his attack didn’t work. Goku squeals in pain.

“What was that about?” screams Goku, who now has a bulge on his scalp.

“Forgive me, Lord Oolong,” says the man, “I’ll give you anything! Food! Money! Only please spare my daughter!”

Goku asks who Oolong is. After some explaining, the man realizes Goku isn’t the threat he thought he was. As the man’s daughter helps to heal Goku’s bruise, the man apologizes for his mistake and explains who Oolong is.

“He is a horrible demon who haunts our land,” explains the man, “a vile shape-shifter whose true form no one has ever seen! Yesterday he came to our village, and his eyes fell on my daughter.”

The man continues to explain that Oolong said he will return today and take his daughter from him. Oolong has already kidnapped other girls from the village and has threatened to eat every villager if any of them try to escape or to resist.

Bulma pulls out a dragon ball from her backpack and asks the villager if he’s seen one like it. The man says he hasn’t, but an old lady standing in the doorway says she has one. Bulma offers to get rid of Oolong in exchange for the lady’s dragon ball. The old lady is skeptical that Bulma will be able to get the job done, but Bulma already has a plan. She asks the man’s daughter if she can borrow her clothes. After she agrees, Bulma puts Goku in a dress and a bonnet.

“Now listen, you’re going to pretend to be that girl and let Oolong take you to his lair,” Bulma explains to Goku, “Then you beat him up and rescue the girls he’s captured.”

As the town clock strikes noon, Oolong approaches the village. Goku stands in the middle of the town. Everyone else hides. Oolong has taken the form of a big demon dressed in a suit.

“There’s my cute lil bride,” says Oolong, “C’mere, honey!”

Goku, who has turned around to hide his identity, begins to shiver. Oolong asks if “she” is cold, but Goku is actually shivering because he has to pee. Oolong thinks Goku is scared of his current form, so he transforms into a handsome gentleman…who is so charming that even Bulma is now infatuated with him.

Bulma comes out of her hiding place and says, “Hey there, my name’s Bulma and I’m sweet 16.”

Oolong asks for Bulma’s bra size, to which she responds she is a 34-C. (And she wonders why she couldn’t ride the Flying Nimbus.)

Now, Oolong can’t decide if he wants to take Bulma or the man’s daughter. He looks back at the man’s daughter, but to his surprise, he sees her whizzing on a tree.

How can she do that in public? thinks Oolong, Come to think of it, how can she do it at all?

Oolong moves to the front of the daughter and receives a shocking realization that she is a he.

“YOU’RE NOT THE GIRL FROM YESTERDAY,” screams Oolong, “HOW DARE YOU TRY TO DECEIVE THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE OOLONG!”

Oolong transforms into a giant ox.

“NOW YOU SHALL SEE THE RAGE OF OOLONG!”

Bulma snaps out of her daze and returns to her hiding place.

“Goku, we’re going with Plan B,” cries Bulma, “Beat him up, but don’t kill him. Then we’ll make him tell us where he’s got those girls!”

“That’s more like it!” says Goku, as he throws off his sissy, girly clothes.

“What kind of idiot are you?” asks Oolong, “You’re gonna die here.”

Oolong is about to charge at Goku, but then he takes a quick look at the clock and starts to panic.

“Time out! Time out!” cries Oolong. The giant bull rushes outside the village gate and tucks behind the wooden fence.

“Get back here,” cries Goku, “No time outs.”

No sooner does Oolong hide behind the fence than he reverts into his true form. And now we, as the reader, see that Oolong’s true form is a talking pig wearing a Chinese Communist uniform. (Don’t ask me why, I don’t know.)

Goku runs through the village gate and looks both directions for Oolong, but he doesn’t see him. Goku asks the pig if he saw a bull run by, and the pig points left. Goku chases after him.

“That was too close,” says Oolong, “Almost got my cover blown.”

Akira Toriyama tells us through an info box that Oolong’s transformation powers only last for five minutes. After that, he has to recharge for one minute before he can transform again.

After failing to chase down the bull, Goku returns to the village, again passing Oolong.

“I don’t get it, maybe he turned into a bird and flew away,” says Goku. He turns his back to the pig and re-enters the village.

As soon as the minute is up, Oolong returns to the village and transforms into…some sort of mecha-samurai holding a bowl of ramen?

“You dream that the mighty Oolong would flee?” says Oolong, “I just took a break to destroy another village, that’s all. Surrender now, or I’ll dunk you in this boiling soup and slurp you up like a ramen noodle.”

Goku asks Oolong if he is going to fight or play dress-up.

“What did you—,” cries Oolong, as he accidentally dips his thumb into the steaming hot water.

Goku asks Oolong if he is really as strong as he says he is.

“What? No! I’m the strongest in the world!” claims Oolong, “And what about you? How strong are you?”

“Well, my grampa taught me Kung Fu,” says Goku.

Oolong wants Goku to prove it. He sets up a stack of bricks challenges him to break them with his bare hands.

“I could do it with one finger,” says Goku.

Oolong is now terrified. With a nervous chuckle, he transforms into a bat and flies away.

“Don’t just stand there,” cries Bulma, “Go catch him! If we don’t find his lair, we won’t be able to rescue those kidnapped girls!”

Goku calls the Flying Nimbus (or Kinto’un) and chases after Oolong. As Goku catches up, Oolong freaks out again and transforms into a speeding missile. Goku struggles to keep up, but fate would soon turn in his favor, as Oolong’s five minutes have been used up. The missile transforms back into the pig with the commie-form. Seeing as the pig doesn’t have wings, he begins to fall, but Goku catches him before he hits the ground.

“So you were Oolong all along,” says Goku.

Goku ties a rope around Oolong and brings him back to the village. He makes him say sorry for all the trouble he has caused. Bulma orders Oolong to take them to the captive girls.

The pig brings Goku and the villagers to his lair, which looks like an ancient Chinese palace. The parents of the captured daughters barge in, but they are quite surprised by what they find.

To their surprise, the girls are having so much fun that they don’t want to leave.

“Why do you think I wanted a nice, shy girl,” asks Oolong, “These chicks are wearing me out. Take ’em home with you, please!”

After fulfilling their quest, Goku and Bulma leave the village with another Dragon Ball, but that’s not the only thing Bulma has brought with her.

“But Bulma, why do we have to bring Oolong?” asks Goku, who is sitting right next to him in their motor boat.

“That transformation trick of yours is pretty nifty!” explains Bulma, “It could come in handy on our quest!”

With five Dragon Balls and two bodyguards in her arsenal, Bulma is well on her way to making her wish come true. What could possibly go wrong?
